How long will the rebuild take?

[Keeper!]

What is strange is that we have so much possession in the opponents half it’s hard to believe our defenders are so injury prone.

Stones and Ake are injury prone, what the surprise with those players?

Akanji, Dias have played non stop for basically 3 seasons and whatever anyone says top, elite players are playing too much.

Walker is finished, legs and head have gone, turning down 30m from Bayern was a monumental error by the execs.

Added to that we have a manager that insists on a small squad despite playing 60 plus games a year.

And a final thought, a club world cup this summer, unless we make major changes, next season could be even more troublesome.

Ruthlessness and money is the only way to sort this out.

Maybe it won't get sorted out. This could be the end of the road as far as mega success is concerned. We might be turning into a version of the rags. Once great and powerful but now weak and deluded. Fans around Europe may soon be laughing at us in the way we have goaded the rags with comments like.... Have they turned another corner!!

Can't see it, a 300m plus ground expansion and 2 more year of Pep says the opposite to me.

But we will have more of an idea by the end of the January window.

200m lighter and 3 or 4 players in could transform our season, no chance of domestic or CL titles but the big one is next summer,( Club World Cup) 3 - 4 signing and a few players coming back to fitness could be perfect timing for us.

I said earlier in the week after the decade we have had there would be no complaints for me if we were not challagening but after the last month I have changed my opinion, losing and not competing is horrible.

A lot of investment needed In my opinion to get to the squad levels of Arsenal and Chelsea and Liverpool - they have left us behind.

I think it will be 2 years at least before we challenge for the league again.

Everyone in football was laughing at Chelsea and their business model, not today, they look the real deal, young, hugely talented, hungry side, they will take some stopping over the next few seasons, and what a fine job Maresca has done so far.

This is strange because after every signing or transfer window someone post well that's us set for next 4/5 years

When they started this experiment they were the 3rd/4th best team in the league.

They've spent £1bn over the last three seasons, finished in midtable twice and are now back to being the 3rd/4th best team in the league.

I think it's a bit early to be celebrating Chelsea's business model!

Give Pep 1 billion over 3 seasons and we would be untouchable for years.

It is early but one thing I admire with their owners is they don't give a ^uch what people think and are looking after No1.

Chelsea's squad is very tasty and if they keep progressing and start winning titles then that investment will have been money well spent.

January, Summer and a fit Rodri. We'll be back firing next season

Don’t talk sense. They don’t like it.
