I don't think he could sign for anyone else anyway, so it's either stay at Chelsea or go back to Bournemouth.

Still hoping there's something in the background, but for our fabled black box, we have dropped an absolute bollock here. Such, such poor squad management.

Yes, if anything with the VVD injury we needed two CB's. 1 CB is still one too short, as I don't believe Gardos should be anywhere near - but that's just my opinion.

It's alright, we've got Gardos.

Apparently he did. Personally, I'd have spent out on him rather than Manolo if it was a choice between the two. I think CB is the biggest issue for us.

How we've failed to get Sakho over the line - on a loan deal - is beyond me. Mega fail.

2nd half was better in terms of intent, but we still didn't create enough clear cut opportunities. A completely garbage result. This season has been pretty **** so far in the league, let's be honest.

TBF I'm one of the most positive people on here, but we are boring the life and soul out of every man and his dog this year. Absolute bore-fest.

Pretty much.

Swansea have been much the better team, fully deserve their lead. We have been garbage, as per.

Arona Kone. Keep clear of that non-scoring forward.

He was linked for a few days before, Komean said it wasn't likely a few days before he actually signed.

Sky talk so much without actually saying anything.

If we go into the next few weeks with Yoshida, Gardos and Stephens as our CB's then the club has made an absolute clanger. Makes a bit of a mockery of the ''turning 1000 players over at any one time'' black box stuff. Still time though....I remain positive enough to think the club won't cock this up! Potentially a season defining situation. Well, it is, as we won't get too many points with those as our CB's.

.

How many chances will Isgrove get? Totally pointless inclusion, he is not good enough for this level. Just move him on. Sims is still raw as hell, but already looks a million times better than Isgrove. Reed as well, he needs a loan or something. Not anywhere near the quality for this level at the moment.

As good as he was on Wednesday, Stephens played with Caulker levels of ineptness tonight. I think the club should refund everyone who went.

away @ sunderland the weekend before, we were due to play Arsenal at home on the 25th Feb, but now we play the final on the Sunday so that will be moved. Maybe to the mid-week after that, not sure.

I'm sure part of him wishes it was him leading us out, but too late for that now. Wonder if he'll be another who looks back in a year or so and wishes he never left.

He's smelling the money on offer from Leicester.

I have no idea where he pulled that performance out from. He LEAD that team.

Congrats!

A tactical masterclass over both legs, you have to say. I'm now going to go back to drinking.
