Chelsea growing in confidence that they will be able to sign a top centre-back this month. They want to sign a CB, midfielder and attacker. What doesn’t happen in January will happen in summer. #CFC

Oliver Glasner and Steve Parish agreed it was best to reveal head coach's summer departure in same press conference as confirming Marc Guéhi exit so Glasner could not be accused of quitting in protest. #CPFC news: www.standard.co.uk//sport/footb...

Assessing the positives Chelsea can take from a narrow defeat to Arsenal — but also how much ground it will have shown Rosenior that #CFC must make up (P.S. you suspect Guiu would have much rather been up against Badiashile/Fofana than Saliba/Gabriel) www.standard.co.uk/sport/footba...

Igor Thiago. You can barely remember any of his Premier League goals yet he's bagged 16 in 21 games this season. The best goalscoring season a Brazilian's ever had in England. Sort of player who'd be branded lazy or chubby if the goals weren't flowing. But they are. #BrentfordFC
