CHELSEA have stunned their own fans after making a shock enquiry for Peter Crouch — and they have responded with some hilarious memes.
The Premier League champions turned their attention to the Stoke striker, 36, after a move for Andy Carroll collapsed.
Antonio Conte is desperate to add some attacking talent to his squad as they compete in the FA Cup, Champions League, Premier League and a potential Carabau Cup final.
But it's safe to say their supporters are not too impressed with the club for being linked with the 6ft 7in former England international.
And the news he could end up costing around £3million only upset the Premier League champions' fans even more.
Some even took the desperate and hilarious measure of begging Fifa to give them a transfer ban to stop the deal going through.

But the Chelsea faithful shouldn't be too upset as the Blues have are in talks with Roma for Edin Dzeko.
The Italian giants are demanding £57m to let former Manchester City striker Dzeko go.
Dzeko - who played around 100 games for City between 2011 and 2015 - scored twice against Chelsea in the Champions League group stage before Christmas and would be ideal back-up for Alvaro Morata.
Jamie Vardy has also sparked speculation he could be interested in a move down south to Stamford Bridge after liking an Instagram post about him joining last year's champions.
