Ah, the silly season. In one morning of light reading, I've found that Manchester United have apparently all but signed Lukaku, Willian, Griezmann, Bale, Reus, Rodriguez, Aguero, and Neymar. Well done, Jose!

Headline: All major teams linked to every player ever, sources say.

And Oxlade-Chamberlain wants to go to Liverpool. Apparently.

I'd take him. His recent performances have impressed me and we need more speed in the side for when Mane is out or needs to be rested.

Apparently Rafa is getting a 100 million war chest to attack the Premier League. I will believe it when I see it. Really I think the only place we don't need reinforcement is goalie.

Do you guys still have Tim Krul? He's a good keeper; better than he gets credit for, I think.

Although, £100 million doesn't seem like much. It'll cost that much just to get a lock of Antoine Griezmann's hair.

Yeah but I imagine he will be up for sale this summer. He is on loan at AZ Alkmaar.

Elliot will be our starter I imagine and Darlow the backup. Then I imagine we sell Sels or loan Woodman and keep the other as our third keeper. I'd like to see Woodman develop more. He is one for the future having won the U-17 World Cup with England and playing in the U-20. I'd be really surprised if we bought another keeper as Elliot is a very solid Premier League level keeper and we need help at some many other positions despite seeing us being linked with other keepers (but then again who isn't being linked with about everybody).

Realistically I think we need at least one more centerback (to pair with either Lascelles or Clark), one left back (Dummett is a good defender but crap going forward and the backup option for him is either play a mid out of position or Hiadara who is crap), a couple wingers (if we can bring Atsu back on loan that would be great and Ritchie should be able to play at the Premier League level but we need some backups or better quality players), a replacement for Diame and one more center midfielder, another defensive mid and two strikers (we only have one I think is Premier League quality). I think we have plenty of players that could play well in the Premier League but it is the backups I am really worried about.

Two of the last three, five of the last twelve. Well done, Blues!

Well done, Chelsea. The only big team to play to their potential and impressive management by Conte.

You've got to hand it to Chelsea. Extremely well done season.

very unusual the Leicester penalty that would have equalised -credit to the ref for seeing two touches on the ball at that moment
