Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta seen wearing a cast on his hand before West Ham game http://www.thickaccent.com/2017/03/06/pic-chelsea-defender-cesar-azpilicueta-seen-wearing-a-cast-on-his-hand-before-west-ham-game/

Thats interesting then So even with him unproven in the PL and Diego is you would still go for him? Ive looked around and cant see yhat hes been utilized as RW which I think wold be of more benifit to us if we are looking for a marqee trpe player but he does have good skills that would prob help us like being good in the air and strong defensively. Tho he seems to give away alot of fouls. Could he play a free roaming RW like Eden does?

Its 46 days this year so far. We was worried about Diego but hes had no probs for ages. But £70 mills a bit of a gamble innit? Or is he worth the risk?

I really dont see him going anywhere. Would he work/be upgrade in RW? Cause way I see it Conte wont go with a 352 so I think he will go with someone like Llorente whether we like it or not. (He can score in the PL tho which is always good) So if we made a big upgrade on RW with more of a striker (yes I know Pedros good and direct) like Lukaku,Sanchez it would basically give us a 3 striker system all roaming and swapping places. Nobody would know who to mark.

I dont know enough about him to say whether I'd like him here or not. But as far as buying a poacher/predator we already have one of the best in the world dont we? In a 1 striker system we need our backup to give us another option to goto. So dont we need someone who will bring summet to us Diegos not the best at? Technique! His link ups, 1st touchs, holding the ball and not know when to pass,someone who can dribble thru players. We need someone in the 1st team like this too alongside Eden/Diego.

Done it since I was a kid. Used to leave the house and wake up miles away from home Scared my old dear shitless.. The Mrs thought I was joking for awhile and would get pissed off at me but realizes now I must be a psychoas she often tells me I need my head testing lol I've come out with some right random stuff. Sometime my talkings real clear and others I mumble I just hope I havent put the whammy on his flip! Would be great to see him do a couple!

Musta sent the guy nuts editing all his moves but a good showcase of his worh to us.

They still got time to do their yearly choke. Without Kane they dont do much.

Putting someone like Rom or Sanchez alongside Eden and Diego we would go on a search and destroy mission thru Europe. Right now we have the highest GD in the PL.. We go against Wet Spam with a +45 GD ffs! Now put one of those 2 lads into the equasion. 2 of the top scorers in the PL playing alongside and helping each other. Makes me drool down me legs!

Its started again guys! Chelsea transfer news: Antonio Conte set to swoop for Kalidou Koulibaly after passing on him in January due to his African Cup of Nations commitments Blues had been considering a £50million swoop for the Napoli defender in the winter window as John Terry's replacement https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/3014704/chelsea-transfer-news-antonio-conte-kalidou-koulibaly-napoli/

From all that Ive read about him he seems to be a 'Marmite' kinda player. (For those that dont know what Marmite is it is a strong tasting spread you put on bread/toast) and you either love him or hate him. Taking aside other players who may do the job better or as good - just what are your concerns about him and what do we like about him? The latest figure Ive seen wanted for him is £30 mill.

Interesting article from last June. Chelsea & Antonio Conte: The Quick Fix Paradox http://www.umaxit.com/index.php/columns/chelsea-antonio-conte-the-quick-fix-paradox

Fabregas's favourite Premier League moment was the one he could never reach with Arsenal And looks forward to reaching again under Conte “The day we won it, I remember I just went on my knees. It was such a big relief. I remember I had competed a lot of years, sometimes we were close, sometimes not so much, but I really tried to give a lot everywhere I have been in the Premier League and to finally achieve it was one of the best moments in my career.” “You can win a World Cup or a Euros, which is maybe the best a player can win, but when you’ve been trying to fight for a trophy for so many years, when you came close sometimes, you gave so much and fought so much for it and in the end it happens, it was personally a big achievement.” http://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/2017/3/4/14815360/cesc-fabregas-chelsea-arsenal-premier-league-trophy-conte-future-winning

Celtic goalkeeper Craig Gordon agrees new three-and-a-half-year contract after failed Chelsea bids Goalkeeper Craig Gordon has agreed new three-and-a-half-year contract Celtic prioritised keeping Gordon after rejecting two bids from Chelsea Gordon will put pen to paper on his new contract in the coming days http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4282712/Celtic-goalkeeper-Craig-Gordon-agrees-new-contract.html#ixzz4aQEgVaLU

I know I'm just going to get disapointed come the summer if I get too excited. So I'm just going to keep everything crossed we get him OR a very similar player to him. Do we think old vinegar tits will still be there next season? Allegri is sounding like the fave to now. It might change theur players minds/attitudes. I want him there as long as poss.

I do feel really sorry for the old boy. He comes expecting a new life with a dream club and gets multiple 2-3 min subs. Thats the thing that perplexes me. But apart from that Conte has the right to play the best guys for the team on the day. Hes obviously under the impression Bats just aint good enough in some way. Questions are will that change before the start of the new season? And If we dont sell him would he be content to be loaned out cause Id be long gone. Its going to mean us losing out money wise but it might make us keep everyone concerned in transfers to be on the same page in future.

It would be an amazing top 3 and would make us a formidible force And it would make the need of signing a top backup striker less urgent. Its not a signing we should penny pinch at as hes going to be a much wanted signing. Im not sure if Willian would stay around tho. Theres no doubting his loyalty to us but he may put playing in front of it.

Sounds like he had a great game today. Scored 2 today against Burnley Sorry cant find vids of goals Swansea 3 Burnley 2: Llorente double puts distance between Swans and the drop zone SWANSEA boss Paul Clement called for the introduction of video technology after Burnley were given one of the most bizarre penalties of the season. http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/593698/Swansea-Burnley-Fernando-Llorente

But whats stopping us from buying the best back up that we can buy? Whats stopping us from using the 2nd striker at some time in the near future in a 3 5 2? Way I see it we either buy the best out n out striker we can buy who would be happy to push,fight whatever for number 1 spot or we buy the best RW we can and give them the freedom and let the front 3 swap places and roam around where they want similar to Eden now. I'm pretty sure we all had the thought of us going 352 when Bats signed up. It just never turned out that way. And tho I really like him as a guy I couldn't tell you much more about him player wise as when we bought him as we just haven't seen enough of the lad to make a gudgement. Conte obviously has.

No bruv. Cant see sweet FA been done about it. Mous golden boy is touchless right now and wouldnt get sent off no matter what UFC moves he did. All we need to do before the game to get the most out of the lads is show them this! We need to make a statement with this game cause you know damned well they will be doing all in their power to make the end of their season better than the middle of it. Lets make Mous head explode! Its a gotta be there game.

The only names I'm calling him now are good ones. Hes becoming the player we thought we was buying!

Lamps getting all mosh! Was great seeing the old boy again. Be even better with him and JT together somehow in a game.

Tell me this isn't exactly how you feel and what you do as a supporter when we score! I just love Conte doing it and also when Mou did it. That time he walked along to the camera pulling out our badge on his jacket and patting it I gotta say made me love the guy. But I betya Roman would do this too if they was watching it together! Now thats summet we need to see!

I'm shocked that Mou didn't blame us for the Ibra stomp! It was coming tho. After Ibra was practicing his UFC body throws on him a little earlier and all the nudges,little kicks and banter going back n forth. The ref let it go on too long. But theres no way on earth Golden nose is getting a red at home when Mous just said how much they rely on him. Now IF Conte said it about Diego the refs wouldn't give a toss. Like it or not Mous got refs running scared. Hes just totally escaped any questions about whether Ibra was guilty of foul etc by saying "'it' happens!!" 'It' happens because his player stayed on the pitch.
