Special reacted to Cosmin in The Next Manager?
Keep Sarri.
Changing the whole identity of a club takes time and involves bad moments like this one.

Special reacted to Special Juan in 🇪🇸 Álvaro Morata
If Jason was defending him, he would win the ball and leave Morata in a heap.

Special reacted to Vesper in 🇪🇸 Álvaro Morata
Yes, but the board is not going to pay that type of money for players over 30.
We did try to buy Higuain, he said no. He didnt want to leave Italy, plus we would not give him a long term contract. Bayern simply said NO to all teams in regards to Lewandowski. They refuse to sell him now. They think they will win the treble this year (they do every year, lol)
So, again, what do you suggest we do? I am resigned to the fact that Morata is our striker.
We had legit shots to fix this (no, not Higuain or Lewandowski, which died on the vine from the other end, not ours per se)
We could have met Icardi's £98m release clause. The board stupidly refused. The other legit (if unorthodox) plan was to either sell Willian to Barca for £65m and then pay cash for Martial, or to do the swap deal for him. The board fucked that up too.
4 players, 4 options, 2 the board, our board, fucked up, and 2 the other side refused to play ball.
Higuain deal is now perma-wrecked, he will never play here. Icardi CAN, but now, in July 2019, his release clause for 2 weeks is even higher than it was in 2018. We should still move for him. The board will not, I simply do not see it happening.
To have ANY hope to get him or Werner, we have to be able to offer CL. They will not come if we cannot offer that, UNLESS both Inter and RB Leipzig have bad years as well. Leipzig may, but we do not even know if Werner is the real deal.
Willian also will, next summer, be worth at least £15m less than thsi year. He will be 31 at season start in 2019. Zero chance we get more than £50m for him at that point.
Also, the board, inanely, is talking about giving him an extension!!! OF ALL the fucking players to finally break the 30-something rule over, it is WILLIAN???!!!
Morata MUST come good in a huge way.
The only legit options if he doesnt are the same as thsi summer. Minus Higuain. Maybe the board will break down and pay £80-100m for a 31 yo Lewandowski. Maybe pigs will fly, lolol
In order, the best 2019 options
Tier one (ie Morata doesn't stop being shit)
1 Icardi
2 Martial
3 Werner
4 Belotti
5 Ciro Immobile (fuck his age, give him a 4 year deal, and this year was the best to do that) <<< big issue, SMS will probably leave Lazio next summer and they will never give up both in same window
Tier 2 (Morata doesn't stop being shit)
Truly insane ones (insane in that we will NEVER spend this type of cash and the teams will never sell these to us nor will the players probably come) are:
1 Mbappe
2 Dybala
3 Griezmann
4 Firmino
5 Harry Kane
Tier 3 (Morata doesn't stop being shit)
We start a series of signing ageing players to one year contracts (this is desperation move btw and I HATE IT)
1 Lewandowski (will be probably 2 years from now, not next summer)
2 Edinson Cavani
3 Luis Suárez (zero chance till a couple year older I think, he is a Barca lifer)
4 Karim Benzema
5 Dries Mertens
6 Edin Dzeko
7 Jamie Vardy
etc etc
Tier 4 (Morata doesn't stop being shit)
Start grasping at straws and buy young strikers or not so top level and hope they come good (I HATE THIS)
Tier Five Morata comes good, issue solved for 5 or so years
Those are literally all the options
which would you do?
Higuain is off the table, Lewandowski will not be let go until 2020 window I am almost positive AND we will not pay what Bayern demands as he will be 32 They (Bayern) MAY go in and grab Icardi or Dybala or Werner, which would further fuck us
what would you do?

Those same people will later complain about our rotating door policy for managers.

Special reacted to Cosmin in The Conte Thread
Is this a joke? This man won us the league last season and is doing quite decent during this one. We are top 3 in the EPL, still in both Cups and in the UCL.
Are you guys serious? Why do you want him to leave, because he doesn't agree with your super-expert tactical opinions? Lol

Special reacted to Pizy in The Conte Thread
The funniest thing is watching all the United fans defending and siding with Mourinho after calling him a classless, childish cunt for years and years before he joined them.

Morata would have sent that into the stands.

Special reacted to cfcs most wanted in The Conte Thread
The manager is the only reason the club is in the top 4 right now. Can't see the bunch of Morata, Bakayoko etc, winning each matchweek. Many bad transfers that Conte has had to deal with. but he has made this team punch above it's weight, with the kind of players we really have. Just imagine what he would do with a decent transfer window.

Special got a reaction from Blusan Alamb in 🇪🇸 Álvaro Morata
Great goalkeeping?! Hazard was behind him and he could easily pass to him. Hazard got mad at him after what he did. And there was another scene in that match that he ruined the opportunity and Luiz shouted at him.
These gifs were just some examples. Almost every match he is making big mistakes. Against Liverpool we were 3 against 2 on counter attack and Fabregas had a great space but he passed to Hazard and ruined the chance and both Hazard and Fabregas got mad.
How many times did Costa score from Fabregas long passes? Now when Fabregas sends long passes for Morata, either he doesn't move or the ball hits his back. Costa could score, Morata can't. So as I said before, Fabregas is not the best but he is still useful and is still sending great long passes. But the problem is we have a striker who can't find the ball.
===================
And those who say Morata scored goals, I know a player who scored goals for Chelsea, beautiful goals actually. But was weak and made us weak. And now he is enjoying the Chinese Super League.

Special got a reaction from Blusan Alamb in 🇪🇸 Álvaro Morata
I’m not saying we have the best goalkeeper in the world, but our goalkeeper is good. Our defenders are good. Our midfielders are good. Not all of them are the best but they are good. And yes, I prefer a young Frank Lampard to this Fabregas. But fabregas is good. He can help us.
But Morata is weak. He can’t be our main striker. The way a player touches and controls the ball, the way he passes and... shows if he is a good player or not.
Unfortunately Morata can’t make it here. He is weak and he makes us weak.
Strikers must be deadly. Diego Milito had 2 opportunities in 2010 champions league final and scored 2. Now look what Morata did with his chance against Manchester United. One of the funniest movements in EPL history.
==============
I remember Oscar also had a lot of supporters here. What happened to him will happen to Morata soon.

Morata is our weakness. He can’t control and pass the ball well. The way he plays reminds me of Oscar. We sure need another striker. He will never be good enough for us. Exactly like Oscar.
