āI think there's a world where Chelsea go for 2 midfielders if they find out Martin Zubimendi is available, but there's nothing to suggest that is the case at the time of writing. As mentioned earlier in the live blog, he is certainly someone who Xabi Alonso is fond ofā (via @BobbyVincentFL)
š£ļø @BobbyVincentFL: āI think Chelsea would be willing to do business for Malo Gusto for around Ā£50millionā
Is that a fair price for Gusto? š¤
āChelsea want Champions League football again with a Top 4 or 5 finish. If Xabi Alonso can't achieve that, it seems unlikely he'd lose his job. Unless, of course, there was a complete capitulation. Chelsea, though, are confident they can achieve their goals this seasonā (via @BobbyVincentFL)
Which Big 6 team do Brighton fans enjoy beating the most? (š„ via @brfootball)
When youāre big, youāre big.
Imagine if this had happened š¤Æ
Arsenal see former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino as a credible option to succeed the sacked Unai Emery as head coach. How the 47yo Argentine would view an approach is unclear, but he is among the #AFC candidates @TheAthleticUK: theathletic.com/1419640/2019ā¦
š Chelsea are monitoring Martin Zubimendi ahead of January... Arsenal's Ā£60m midfielder has started just THREE games all season
š Xabi wanted him at Real last summer and now the Madrid clubs want him too. Steal a starter off the champions in January? Or is this one pure fantasy? Thoughts? š

Thank heavens it is not Antonio Conte.
The circus continues at Manchester United.

šØ EXCLUSIVE: Manchester United finalising deal to appoint Mauricio Pochettino if ultimate decision made to replace Michael Carrick. 54yo lined up & terms being done with camp. #MUFC yet to contact US but straight-forward should plan proceed @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/7767421ā¦
Chelsea defender Malo Gusto is assessing his options before the January transfer window. His view has been amicably communicated internally. Chelsea valued him at £75m in the summer. (via @NizaarKinsella)

My Alonso take:
- Alonso is a good manager. Way better than what he is currently showing right now.
- Do we have a right to feel slightly aggrieved? Absolutely. In an ideal world we would have looked more like a team by now.
- Are we at a stage where we need to consider replacing him? Absolutely not.
We need to build something slowly that sticks. We need to finally build solid foundations and sadly, whether we like it or not, that takes time. Some managers can do it quickly, some take more time.
Unless things become catastrophic, Alonso needs 2 years. All the managers that some fans want to replace Alonso with all had time to succeed at their clubs.
Fabregas and Hurlezer, two managers who have been suggested, are both in season 3.
I am not here trying to make excuses for Alonso, he has made some bizarre choices and is overcomplicating things, but as he has said before, the team we see in May will be wildly different to what we are now.
As I have always said, football can change in an instant. Letās hope this international break we get some of our key players back and Alonso takes a deep dive how to improve things.
At least we arenāt Man U!

If you think that Xabi Alonso doesn't know what he needs to do to make us competitive, then you are kidding yourself.
The problem is that you want it to be sorted today, rather than going through the process to build a formidable team; this is the problem with the average Chelsea fan.
There is a lack of trust in any process that doesn't involve winning every weekend, but realistically, such processes go through a period of inconsistency which we as fans struggle to accept.
This is just the truth and we all know it.

To those begging for Cesc FĆ bregas:
Como his 1st season ā 10th
Como his 2nd season ā 4th
Como this season ā 5th
Done well, yes, but Serie A is shit in comparison to the PL, yet youāre acting like heās gonna come here and not have big growing pains. Insane. Just back Xabi ffs.
Rio Ngumoha: āI feel like I needed a new challenge. I feel like if I stayed at Chelsea...Iām not saying that I wouldnāt have got to the first team as quick, because I believe in my ability, but I feel like Liverpool just gave me a new pathway.
The plan that they set for me was straightforward really. For me, it was a no-brainer going to Liverpool, and they just said if I prove myself, because they know how much ability I had, then they know that I would definitely be a first-team player and definitely a star for them in the making.
I think going to Liverpool so far has been the right choice.ā

š£ļø @alex_crook: āI donāt think Xabi Alonso is doing a very good jobā
Do you agree with what heās said here, and what does Alonso need to change during the international break?

š§š· Carlo Ancelotti: āWhat we expect from EstĆŖvĆ£o is for him to show the qualities he has. Weāll keep following him.
Even if he doesnāt play a single minute at Chelsea, weāll keep following him until we decide heās no longer useful to the national team.
As long as we think heās useful, weāll keep following him and giving him opportunities to develop as a 19-year-old. We have different objectives to Chelsea.ā
