Barcelona boss Xavi says he is in talks with 35-year-old Argentina and Paris St-Germain forward Lionel Messi over a sensational summer return to the Camp Nou. (Standard)

But Messi's father and agent Jorge has agreed a two-year deal with Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal worth 1.2bn euros (£1.1bn)

Yeah it was reported on the local news that he was saying his goodbyes on the pitch to his teammates after the Villa match. Fully expect him to leave Brighton.

But yes, a clear out is needed for sure. Though i think we're in desperate need of a striker. I think it was the lowest goal scoring tally for chelsea this season in almost 100 years.

yep the last time you had a decent striker was drogba

Absolutely loved Drogba. I feel like Costa did well for us too tbh. His passion, and grit was always appealing to the Chelsea fans.

I think there will be so many players available this summer it is going to be like a bargain basement for all but the elite players. All fuelled by the chelsea overspend in the last 2 windows

Yeah he had his moments, and i reckon he'd of done better with a firing Chelsea team.


I really don't see top 4 for Chelsea next season, but i hope you're right.



We wont be able to give half these playing away imo. I mean, Havertz for example, what team is gonna want him after his poor showing this season?!

Havertz is good on his day, but seriously lacks any kind of consistency. He was a 1 in 5, at best, good game player before this season. This season i've not seen him have more than one or two good games.

Sterling on the other hand, he needs to go. I've never rated him. I know he's had a decent career, but i was in the half of Chelsea fans very much "meh" when we signed him.
