Appologies for not adding the 'Wishlist' tag!! Was it worth the post mate? http://www.thehardtackle.com/news/2017/12/10/transfer-news-chelsea-hit-major-roadblock-in-alessandro-florenzi-pursuit/

2 problems as I see it. He loves Roma and his being off for 11 months with his anterior cruciate ligament injuries. But he seems strong now and been back since September. Whats your thoughts?

I'd love it if he was bruv cause that Eden gets the rest of the lads on their toes trying to keep up with him. The only thing I'd like from him is to be more direct and goal hungry. But hes never going to be the worlds top scorer when he thinks like that himself.

The thing is that theres 2 Edens. 1 is a lazyish can't be arsed spoiled kid and the other is a cheeky,dancing,'Lets fuckin get this party started' player. When Eden comes out on the pitch and hes got that sly grin and hes doing his bobbing weaving dance moves then the lads unplayable. Now if we could find some gear to give him pre game to get him in that mood we would win most games. Sod that lets give it to all the lads - fuck it I'll have some too!!

Should have started today. They forced us wide and there wasn't anyone tall enough to get on the crosses as we missed old rubber neck Morata. Cescy is a great tachticianer and we nreded to find routes thru them.

Not at his best today eh? How many times did he give the ball away? Sad really cause I really do like the guy. Loyal as they come and he fuckin hates Spuds.But the same way I liked Schurrle,Oscar and Torres tho. All had moments of sheer brilliance but too far inbetween. It would be great to keep him as a backup but at 29 do we try to make some dosh on him?

I really did have alot of hope for Bats when he came and was disapointed with some fans for not giving him 'time' But how long do we give OK players tho IF we want to win silverware? It would be fine if we was allowed to have no pressure on us and just take a complete season to experiment on players. But I can't see Roman being happy with that. We wouldn't see Contes arse for dust.

Either 'fucking about with formations' or a 'tactical genius'? Just depebds on which side of the coin you flip I suppose. I know I'd rather have formation changes than let every team know eactly what youre going to do week in week out. Its very hard to be patiant with new players when you are expected to win silverware. Its all well and good if he was in a mid table club with no aspirations apart from staying up. I THINK Bakayoko is one of these who rely on peeps building his confidence up instead of finding a way to do it himself. He wasn't always good in Monaco tho. He was a bit better the last 2 ganes so lets see if he goes out on loan or not.

I read that he never shook hands with him. Bloomin press you don't know which to believe

=D Yeah the Dons right hand man. But you get what I mean yeah. And the same to you chap. A happy 'n healthy 2018 to you and yours. I'm taking that long trek to North London on the 3rd. Be my first game this season. Relieve some stress and hope the lads don't give me some more

Its going to hurt us fans and the club when Eden jumps ship but we gotta get used to the fact now that day will come. And to me I can only see him going to RM or PSG. It cracked me up reading that ridiculous piece about Mounure wanting him and saying they would get him for £90mill! As what I remamber Edeb was reportedly over the moon when Maureen left (I'll call him Mou afain when hes not in Manc land) And he never shook hands with him hen we played them. All I hope is we use all the transfer money we get on his replacement.

I do hear all you say mate but I think both lads are his equal on a good day. Willi was OUR POTY and the players POTY last season so what does that say about us if hes not worth keeping? But they are both upgradeable. i'm just not sure about Mahrez.

Apparently we sent scouts to look at him

Just hate this pesimism from some of us. We aren't really doing anything wrong unless its not starting off full of confidence. We should really be taking these apart.

Love seeing Cescy on form. If hes got 2 other lads with him he can work wonders. If we had a replacement for Cahill on the Left like what Dave/Andreas are doing and kept Alonso/Moses in form that would give us 6 amazing passers to feed our top 3. give them the freedom to swap about like they do now (with a couple of upgrades) and we would make a proper run at whatever we did.

Not seen very much of the lads this season so far. How did he get on V Forest? Is he good enough to give him more chances or does he need loan time?

We will probably never know just who was responsible for some of our latest acquisitions but unless a manager picks who is bought then that player will need to really impress him to get regular playing time. And onviously we have lads like Bats,Bakayako,Zap who I started out thinking might all be ok seems to be just that at best. IMHO we need Bats,Bakayoko,Alonso,RAM upgrades if we intend to make any sort of impression in the league and Europe.

Fuckin hate our revolving managers door and would hate to lose Conte. I really like the guy.But I'm worried about his relationship with Roman. Roman seem to like keeping managers on a tight lead. But the only way I see Eden staying is if we take Zidane on and maybe he would fancy his chances with the managers in the top rank now. You can bet yer bottom $ that Roman has him on speed dial. But i wouldn't like to go back to a definite 4-2-3-1. What i like is we are training the academy in the same formation as the 1st team. How can we expect to bring up lads that are used to playing in one position to ask him to play another. The development squad just beat Shitty the other day they're on a good run. The under 19s sailing thru the UEFA youth league (only losing to Roma) And the under 18s 6 points clear at top of thier league. Great they smashed them pikeys 7-0! So we as usual got some great young players coming up and SEEMINGLY The Don isn't guvibg them an odd opportunity. Which at least with Ampadu is working out so far (I just touched wood =D )

I quite like him. We need someone to make a difference for us.

Just not seeing him fitting in. We got Willi/Pedro who I see as similar if not better. but we aren't the magnet of alot of clubs so we have to get into these 'wants' very early and when we do that it works for us. What we really need in this transfer market is a fuckin proper sporting director who will listen to our manager whoever it is.

I would think the big bid we gave in the summer would have got his notice and theres no doubt he woulda had chats at some stage with the Don so hopefully it might get him thinking. But theres no way he would come as 2nd fiddle so he would need assuring of that. And everyones right about alonso. Hes like so so many of our players past and present that he cant keep his form. Shit hot one week and a numpty the next. The best thing about our RWB whoever it is is we got Dave to help him out. And hes putting in more dead accurate passes than Moses. Will be hoping he comes but we are gooing to need to pay up for him.

I'm really not expecting him anywhere near us I'm afraid unless Eden jumps ship.

This would be on the same scale as us signing N'Golo last season. I know this time of the year all the shit stirring cunts connected to the sport do their best work. All the media,click merchants, players agents and entourages,salesmen etc all trying to get more money for doing fuck all. So its difficult to tell truth and bullshit apart. But we are being linked with some blinding players and we gotta hope at least some of them come off. Lets see what occurs after July 1st eh.

My thoughts too. Hopefilly hes not on his Jack
