Unionjack

Doesn't seem to bother the Poch arse kissers of the world that hes got no trophies!

A complete waste of time and money that we could really put to good use. But obviously nobody is going to give us anything close to what we paid and nobody will afford his wages so he will sit there collecting his £5m a year quite happily as Granny wont want to be seen as having failed with anyone.

It amazes me that Waterboy has one of the longest contracts in operation with us for another 4 years and is on £120k a week ffs!! How the fuck does that happem? Where is Willian goimg once Edens fit? .Our board is in need of a overhaull. Morning mate. Have a nice weekend!

Its just a complete load of tosh! We all know that ADL is only doing all this cause he misses him and is having trouble in letting go. Hes acting like a schoolboy being given the Spanish archer by his 1st girlfriend and is now slagging her off and trying to tell the world it was actually him that finished with Sarri! And I doubt very much if any agent or law court would allow any contract to exclude us buying any of his players. All silly games. Sarri was spot on saying he misses him.

Its all that tight piggy in the middle training that the lads do continually. Concentrating with speed and keeping the ball flat. Going to be amazing in a few weeks. If only the lads had the full pre season doing it instead of the WC/Conte gate and traveling the world!

Perisic is like a MF Swiss army knife as hes comfy all over the MF.As with Eden/Neymar they are adaptable. But you're right about RWers. Whys that I wonder? Maybe why Mou wanted Willian?

We all know Mous shortcomings but just read this article Carragher wrote about what Mou had told him after he got sacked the 2nd time. And I thought well it doesn't only apply to Mou does it! Poor fuckin hard done to Mou! Jamie Carragher brought up a conversation he had with Mourinho after he lost his job at Chelsea. Carragher wrote in his column for the Telegraph: "Mourinho once told me after losing his job at Chelsea how he could see how management was evolving, players no longer receptive or tolerant to criticism even behind closed doors. "Power has eroded even for the most formidable of managers." As Carragher suggests, that could be the problem he has now. Mourinho has been a very successful manager in the past due to his strong managerial style. But that has not worked at all at United. One such example would be the case of Anthony Martial. The Frenchman clearly has the ability to be one of the world's best players, but after criticism from Mourinho, he looks uninterested whenever he has featured for Man United. It's clear that he simply does not want to play under the 55-year-old. Mourinho is also having trouble dealing with Paul Pogba. Despite Mourinho's backing, the Frenchman is failing to replicate that support both on and off the pitch. It seems the Portuguese manager cannot control Pogba or Martial. But it's not just players: Mourinho has also lost his power in the transfer market. It's been well documented that Mourinho wanted to add reinforcements to his team: but the Man United hierarchy vetoed deals for his targets. His power in this department will be reduced even further if Man United go ahead with plans to appoint a director of football. Mourinho was fearful that managers were losing their power after his Chelsea departure, and that could well be the source of his problems now.

I know mate. I still dont understand why RM want him as they have that LW sorted and Edens not a CR7. I see theres more chance of ZZ wanting him come Jan at Manure. We will shortly have 1 big problem with players ages and contracts. Not only the old ones you mentioned but Ampadu and CHO whose contract expires same as Edens. They are bound to be tempted by the big boys. With CHO already been with us 11 years we need to show him love faith and trust right now or that kids outta here.

His gobs flapping again Eden Hazard's dad fears Chelsea forward will "never end up" at Real Madrid - Zinedine Zidane might be to blame Chelsea are planning to revive their attempts to keep Hazard and offer him a £300,000-per-week deal https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/eden-hazards-dad-fears-chelsea-13134955

He actually said “I think [Eden will stay]. Because I’m the coach of a very good team, a great club, and we cannot sell such an important player without the possibility of buying another player at the same level, so I hope Eden will stay for this season.” Sarri has the benefit of a good education and as hes a bit older knows himself a bit better so he can stay calm if ruffled. As for that silly dwarfish person at Napoli he himself will be in the market very shortly as some of his main core of players are iinto their 30s so lets hope he comes up against his mirror image. It will be interesting to see whether he starts both Eden AND Mat K or with Mat K being so good might he bring him out in the 2nd half with fresh legs and a different dynamic to Barkles or start them both and hope to build up a lead then swap for Barkley? I really do wish CHO would get a go over Willian. I realise that Willian isn't going to get much time once Edens lost his wobble bottom and will be a pouty bench warmer but thats no reason to play him.

Very difficult to get that right balance of young and old. Specially in a team thats expected to fight for silverware every year. Much easier to experiment with youth in a regular mid table club with few expectations apart from maybe a cup run.

You watch him go on and have a n amazing season. He seems like a real nice guy so I hope he does.

'People' talk about Eden as the false 9 but I'd love to give Pedro a bash.

Not sure if thats just down to Jay or youth in general specially loanees. Unless the manager knows the lad hes getting it will always be difficult to break thru unless of course barring imjuries.

I still say we shoulda got him Higuain told Mertens: 'I am joining Chelsea' before AC Milan move https://www.calciomercato.com/en/news/higuain-told-mertens-i-am-joining-chelsea-before-ac-milan-move-41172

Thing is that theres not many good strikers about available.

Lets hope its for the women's team!

I know its still early guys and gals but I dont think we realize just yet what a big difference Mat K is going to have on us I see him ripping the PL apart.

Agree but it saddens and infuriates me that when they do get the perfect opportunity in preseason they dont fully grasp it. Tho I thought CHO handled his end perfectly. Also thought Ampadu held his own. But lads like Tammy,RLC dont seem able to stand up and make that final step for some reason and Its not like RLC hasn't been given some chances. But its 3 managers now thats not seen enough in him to give him the trust. Where Barkleys kept his head down, gone into training to recover from his injury and saw the chance to make a fresh start this season. And if not for Mat K (Who I totally think should be our starter) Ive no qualms about Barkley playing as 3rd MF guy.

Was just going to post this. Excellent vid. I honestly cant believe our midfield at the moment, We have needed creative players of Jorgis and Mats class for such a long time. We were relying on Cescy to give us it and no matter how much I love the guy hes sadly dropped off and we were crying out for a upgrade. Specially in a Sarri team. Jorgi gives much more than a spot on pass. He's got the mind of a chess master.. And the thing is that Mat K can fill in for him if that need ever arrises as hes got a great footballers head I had to make my new signature for our 3 wise men. I don't think we fully understand yet just what they are going to do this season!. I think they will be phenomenal.

I think hes up for a gamble too. Specially as it looks like hes got contract disputes (we know all about them eh Eden!) Maybe in the Jan sales? Hes obviously posted the photo to show hes put the work in. Edens arse is twice Shaws size right now but nobody's on wobble bottoms case!! For some reason its pretty obvious Sarri hasn't gelled with Emerson. But even with the defensive probs with Alonso that wont matter as much once we start pressing/defending as a team. I wouldn't want to lose Alonso under Sarri as its suiting him down to the ground so I dont understand how Granny can supposedly be open to offers for him. Specially as Sarris seems to like him so much I do wish we had gone for Telles!

Theres a post on WAGNH about Pedro and it questions something I suggested awhile back. With allot of chatter about using Eden as a false 9 Mertens character why don't we use Pedro? Hes got everything thats needed and I can see the lad taking to it naturally. But even if not this should be one of his best seasons scoring wise in football if he keeps this up with the lads that can pass on this team now, I'm thinking about the 30 second goal v Manure and that assist from Alonso! its going to make Willian such a happy chappy! If you dont understand it when I talk about his demon Freddy Mercury face just check it out when he scores

Thats surprised me 1. The amount and 2. Granny turned it down! A shame he didn't do better pre season. Dont thimk he over impressed the boss. But I dont see why he couldm't get the odd 10/20 mins (along with CHO and Ampadu)

I dont know about what Pep might do but I really cant believe we got Jorgi. I rate our MF next to almost anyone. How long does this so called gentlemans agreement last with daft cunt? Till the end of days or 1 season?

Yet both Neville and Carragher say they will be in top 4 the nasty men!
