I'm sure we're all laughing at Chelsea, but I genuinely don't know how you can spend 600m and make a team worse. Or how you decide to buy so many players but none of those signings are a striker. Dreadful mismanagement.
Fair enough they've bought a lot of young players for the future but you'd at least expect some of the more expensive new signings to perform. Mudryk already looks a flop, Sterling looks done, Cucurella looks every bit a one season wonder at Brighton. Those 3 alone cost 200m.
To think that the below team that could have formed half of the current squad (ones sold/let go in bold and cost to Chelsea in brackets):
Courtois (£5.0m) James (£0) Tomori (£0) Guehi (£0) Ake (£0) Rice (£0) Mount (£0) KDB (£6.7m) Gallagher (£0) Salah (£11.0m) Abraham (£0)
Walking past Highbury and Islington station, I thought I'd pop in the Spoons for a quick quiet pint, completely forgetting that Arsenal are playing tonight!

Only 15 minutes played. Arsenal decided taking a two nil lead wasn’t working…
I'd put my house on it.
1-2, three goals inside the first 20 minutes
Ramsdale is decent but the calls for him to replace Pickford for England are mental.
You couldn't write this stuff.
Ty will be as bitter as ever and focus on Southampton going down rather than Arsenal's implosion.
