We need a clinical striker that will take out teams like Wolverhampton, Everton,...
Cavani is on the old side, but I would have no complaints with this transfer. Any good striker is better than our current lot and ending 4th or 5th will depend on quality of our striker.

If people actually want Zidane to replace this guy then they have officially lost the fucking plot. 

And some thought it's a bad idea to have 3 strikers in the team...

Our board must be smart and keep this man for many many years, he seems to know how to get players to play with passion for whole 90 minutes. Our bench looked really great today + few youngester this should be good until January, then we can maybe try to get Sanchez here, if we continue to improve and show that we are conteders he could easily come here, or maybe our board will do some unexpected magic and negotiate deal with Atletico for Griezmann which will include Diego Costa, but we should wait for that when time comes. In Conte We Trust!

💩💩💩
Like last season, I hope we look back at the end of this campaign and laugh at these sacking rumors.

Are you saying that we haven't played attractive football. I would say that the winning run last season was some of the most refreshing football I've watched the club play for a long time with a new formation, approach, mentality. The home game with Everton in particular I would argue as one of our most complete and dominant games I've watched us play and Everton are far from mugs.
Conte played the best way to get a result in the Spurs game, I'd far prefer flexible managers who will tweak their own tactics and mindset depending on the circumstances than one set on playing one way.
People like Guardiola and Klopp when their teams are on song it's great, but when things don't go their way there seems no plan b or alternative approach which becomes their downfall.

Conte will grow old here. Tuchel can fuck off along with Marina!

Off to the Etihad you go then....

We all get frustrated, but to stop following the club just isn't even part of the process.

I hope you keep your promise. You're just adding fuel to the fire that all Chelsea fans are plastic. I can't see how you can ever post on this forum again. If you do I hope members just post the above quote back to you.

Prime example on how to look a complete nob

Caballero, Bakayoko, Sandro and then Lukaku
I can see it all now, the lights, the smoke machine, the platform pier....yes I'm shallow too.

I know this is probably the worst kind of BS ever because the worst kept secret in the world of football is that we are waiting for the Nike contract to kick in before we announce anyone.
But the giddy, immature part of me would love to have the fireworks effect the guy mentioned and the video because how many levels of wonderful would be that we set a new trend? Can you imagine on the 1st or 3rd we come to see a video promoting our new signings or the announcing every hour a new signing? Even if it isn't more than 2-3 players, it would be so epic because as far as I can say nobody ever did it.
It's like a godfather way of dealing with things. We came, conquered, showed everything in one single day and now wait for us in August when our newest squad will eat you all alive. (of course it doesn't mean we wouldn't sign more players in the two remaining months of the window, but I loved the feeling three seasons ago when we did our business early announcing Diego and Cesc soon and just chilling while the other teams were bidding, speculating, and knocking on doors all around while we just watched having done our most important business quickly and smoothly.
What message wouldn't it send to our rivals and to the world of football? I'm that shallow, lol

He's trying to unsettle the dressing room we going have 2015-16 season if we don't get rid off him quick 

we can't afford to let Conte go.He is just  getting started by clearing out weight we don't need 

It doesn't work like that. Costa need to agree a personal terms, so he won't join "any team". He made it pretty clear. And billionaire like Abramovich wouldn't want to lose a tens of millions "just out of anger".

I absolutely appreciate how important he has been since he joined us, 2 PL titles is no small feat. But i will be more than happy to see him go, He was beloved by Chelsea fans and it is sad to think he wont be remembered fondly but he has wanted to leave since he got here. He demands things of others but wont reciprocate which is a shame. He will be back at his beloved Atleti somehow in January and we will move on and keep pushing. No hard feelings but sadly there will be few positive thoughts about the player in my mind when he leaves. Thanks for the help getting those titles though. 

Seems like the people that didn't want Luiz back are the same ones harping on about Lukaku.

I can't wait for him to get here and start banging in goals.

I made little analysis, let me know if you agree or not.
Once again I was left uninspired about 3 man defence after seeing Juve getting done by Real. 
I think we will need to switch to 4 defenders for CL.
Like everyone knows, we had biggest problems this season with crosses. And thats where 3:4:3 or 3:5:2 is very very bad (unless you control the game, another thing we are poor at against top teams). 
Now why is 3 man defence working in PL or Serie A is relatively simple to me. The fullbacks. There are not many teams here with actual quality fullbacks except for Spurs in PL and Napoli in Italy. Chelsea did struggle mainly against Spurs. We also played poorly against Arsenal with Bellering and OX going down on wings. Several other games, we conceded from crosses, but those teams are not as consistent down the flanks and we managed to overcome that.
Now in CL, there is major difference. You have top full backs in every team. Now just look at Carvajal and Marcelo. When those two break through middle (Alves and Sandro), they are left with waste of space to deliver the cross. And then its game over for Juve. Three goals yesterday came in similar fashion. If Juve decided to play 4:3:3, they would double mark Marcelo and Carvajal which might be game over for Real. Instead they opted for additional midfielder to control midfield, but then again their approach was to let Real the ball and defend in second half, a big big mistake from Allegri. Their key advantage turned into uselles. 
Chelsea aint any better at controling the midfield either, so we are pretty much in dark there too.
Marcelo, Alaba, Carvajal, Luis,...as soon they beat our Alonso or Moses, they are left with plenty of space to make good cross and then its not hard for striker to score. Despite juve (or us) have 3 CBS in penalty area, giving false sense of security, its actualy easier for striker to score because of the position of these CBs. Just look where was Bonucci (or even Barzagli) at second Ronaldo goal. Even if they had 3 CBs, Ronaldo found a space. Its what happens before. After fullbacks get space to cross, its already game over if cross is good and striker is efficient. However in 4 defence system, defending fullbacks stay back and limit space for opponent fullbacks or wingers. 3CBS however is very useful against attacks from centre, where we also have support of both midfielders. But that problem is simply solved by opponent by attacking from flanks.
Real was also playing like with two upfront and Isco as #10; meaning they didnt even have proper wingers, something Juve should take advantage of. But they just didnt. Sticking to 3 man defence eventualy killed them. 
As questioning this sounds, after we destroyed the league with 3:4:3, I think we need to change it either next season or season after. If Juve cant do it with BBB and Gigi, no one can. 
Perhaps the ONLY difference we have is that we actualy play 3:4:3, not 3:5:2 and thats good because we actualy have "wingers" unlike in 3:5:2 juve. When we attack Moses and Alonso provide width, Hazard and Pedro act as second strikers or playmakers. When we defend, Pedro and Hazard act as wingers tracking back while Moses and Alonso go deeper. However if we are caught on counter, Moses and Alonso are not in position and we are pretty much done. But even with 3:4:3 we concede alot of goals from flanks, meaning that even the advantage over 3:5:2 could turn useless, when we face top teams in CL. 
Perhaps if we perfect this system and get two brilliant wingbacks, it might work, but as soon as those two are beaten by opponent fullbacks, there will be always serious danger from crosses.
 

I have not looked forward to a summer transfer window since the one after winning the CL. 
Hopefully we have a good one and please buy early. 
So we can have a good pre season. 

Well...let's hope Zidane will either win the UCL or La Liga because Florentino Perez is as trigger happy as Roman is. 

Mbappe would get a lot more game time than Michy because he's more talented and because he can play on the left or right. 

Back him to the hilt, the team needs money spending on it and Conte is the man who needs backing.

Especially if they fail to qualify for the CL.
My ordinary idea, coloured by what I consider to be the correct attitude toward Jose, would be for United to make the top four. If we are directly competing for players however, then let's hope they miss out.
The worst outcome, the one I want to avoid for sure, is that they finish outside the top four and win the Europa League. That would mean five, not four, English teams in the Champions League next season. For me that's bad because 1) it means one more club who can offer CL football to our potential transfer targets, and, 2) the Champions League TV pool would be split five ways instead of four, a difference of millions of pounds.
