If that wand did exist I could really use it right now. But youre dead right. What I do think the Don has is an eye for being able to put a team together. Whether its putting round pegs in square holes or just able to see combinations of players. This is a type of magic alot of managers wish they had I'm sure. It would be great if he had in his box of tricks the ability to make all players to fit into his systems, specially a few of those you named, but alas maybe some tricks need more time to develop and some tricks not even David Blaine con do.

I still dont know enough about Morata to make any strong conclusion. But you've got to ask yourself would he be at RM if he was shite? It seems hes in a Bats position and just cant get playing time behind their number 1 striker. The questions are would he work in the PL? Maybe the Don wants him as RAM over Pedro? IF Diego goes (and /I dont think he will) we will need 2 strikers as Bats is bound to be off. Whether by his own choice or ours. If we sold him at least we would have more money to spend. But cant ya just see him loaned to Wet Spam? I'd go for Rom coming back in a flash. No worries about PL performance, HG, among NT mates and wants to emulate the player hes always wanted to be - Drogs. But I'd like to ask why couldn't he be a RAM and be like having a 3 striker system?

When we were all deciding which of the 2 keepers we had either Petr or Tibo I was on the fence. With emotions and experience on one side and youth,hunger etc on the other. Both lads were near the top of their games so it was a tossup Ive never really got attached to Tibo while hes been here. Its not the job he does cause hes been good, its just Ive never seen any real passion or character in him. Hes got one of those poker faces that doesnt express much. But I'm warming to him. While he has had a touch ov verbal diarrhea and getting foot in gob syndrome he has also said just lately some quite good things about being at Chelsea. The team, managers, trainers, fans etc. He seems to get on pretty well with the Don and has said good things about him and says 'The Italian Coaches' have taught him alot. "I am much stronger now, thanks to the Italian coaches at Chelsea, who have shown me new ways in which to play." Quotes from Beinsports interview : "I don't see myself at Real Madrid," he told Cadena Ser. "I see myself at Chelsea, the club that six years ago saw me playing in Belgium and gave me the opportunity to sign for them. "They also allowed me to be three years at Atletico, which helped me to be the keeper that I am now. "I feel that I'm key to the team, I'm very happy at Chelsea, and I don't see myself anywhere else." Courtois' current Chelsea deal expires in 2019 and, although talks over an extension are yet to take place, the factor of his family remaining based in Madrid appears unlikely to draw him away from the English capital. "For the time being, we have not spoken about a contract extension. We are focusing on the league," he said. "We will see at the end of the season if they offer me something. For the time being, there has not been an offer. "I'm happy in London and I'm delighted with the success we are having this season. "I owe a lot to Spain and I go often there to visit the family, who are in Madrid. But I'm happy in London." Antonio Conte's Chelsea are in a dominant position in the Premier League, 10 points clear of nearest challengers Tottenham with as many games to play. "We are working well with Conte," Courtois added. "I see that there is a long-term project to win trophies, not just domestically but also in Europe. There is a lot of ambition to play in the Champions League next season."

What are your guesses? We dont find out till everyone else does but we have any diddering opinions of who WE would start. Not as it makes any difference at all cause we have been generally sticking with the same lads. Some say if its not broke dont fix it, some want more youth starters yet others would like to see more rotation. All we do on here is offer opinions and comment on what others think.

But is it A he wants to go back to or Simeone? This is why I'm thinking Eden wont go too. Simeones said he will leave end of next season so would Costa go back only maybe to get a manager he dont get on with. And wouldn't Eden rather play for Simeone than AM without him? I see Simeone changing clubs then phoning Eden saying come now! Is there any big problem in us signing either Lukaku,Sanchez and start them as RAM then let them free like Eden? Cause Edens not really used as LAM. He roams about where he wants left/center/right up or down. We use the WBs to keep width and Pedro goes out and in. Its just if we did that we could save alot on another top striker and just use Bats money for replacement back up. Or am I looking at Eden/Pedro roles wrongly?

Novel approach to entering a football forum. Use it to pull birds! Crack on mate. Got an old pic somewhere from the late 60s easrly 70s of 6 or 7 Chelsea skin girls all dressed up. Feather cuts,tonic sta press suits, blue n white pocket hankies, monkey boots. Looked cute. Not many girlies in my section of MH apart from this one gal and as great as she is I dont think you'd fancy her mate. But if ya support Chelsea then hang around and join in.

I'm not too fussy really. Any one of these would do. Verratti,Dahoud, Kessie, Nainggolan, Vidal, Bakayoko

With Spuds now allowed 20 more games a year to be played and full attendance with no 60k restrictions Ground supposedly to finished at start of 2018/19 season but we know how building projects can change. Its a bit strange that this being a quite important titem we need tosort wasn't done and dusted before now. IF Spuds do manage to finish theirs on time I'd be happy with Wembley as it did feel for a few years like a home game when we were there. Other options are tough tho. I read an option was to play every game away!! So good luck to whoevers job it is to sort it.

I would think bad of him IF he was to leave. Or Costa/Tibo It would be daft IMO to leave a club who have been so good with the 1st year of a new manager with a chance to keep it going in Europe next seasom As a player you would shirly want to try to take it that step further and give that season your best effoirt. You would still have that offer in your back pocket for ron. I think all 3 will stay

Is she tripping?

Bit on the old side?

I wonder what the comments will be like IF hes off to RM in the summer? Will they be "I dont blame him!" or something totally fifferent?

I know I'm wrong but wheres your passion? You sound like you would have the population live in Huxleys world under the influence of Soma and emotions being banned. Would you have us not sing songs or shout encouragement or try to put the other team off. Where I dont abdicate going back before Maggies kneejerk reaction by fencing in and treating us all like animals I do think its gone way to far and PC is taking over the world. It may sound basic to some but theres nothing better on matchday than having a beer with your mates, singing at the top of your voice and shouting abuse at the other team when necessary. All good clean fun. Half the point of going to watch live football is enjoying the atmosphere. Without it we may as just watch it on the telly. But whether youre standing up or sitting down it wouldn'y make it any different to the emotions you feel. Theres areas of the ground set aside for families and people with more delicate tastes can sit there in peace.

Theres been a few moans just lately about Diego wanting to move back to AM and he had tried last summer to get the move done. Obviously this didn't happen. ?But he got his head down and has scored a few goals for us. The moans are along the lines of Diego is a traitor, Diego is selfish, Diego can do one cause I only weant players here who want to be here etc etc, But just imagine playing with some diva who comes out saying that he wants the club to get rid of6 of his own team mates for various reasons! Now how would you think the dressing rooms atmosphere is like after those statements? Would you keep him on or cut the poison out? Or is he bigger than the team and what he says goes?

Ive not read anything to do with seating arrangements, Must look harder. But theres not a chance in hell of any return to ugliness no matter how high the temperatures are of those which may be inclined no matter how much they may want to. Its the way the supporters are sectioned and kept apart that stops any banter or raised emotions from going hurther, Nothing whatsoever to do with whether you're standing or not. I know that I find it very difficult to stay in my seat in MH as my enthusiasm takes over and I know its the same for everyone thats not got a laptop or taking selfies around me. Theyre up and down like yoyos But tey dont want to run over to get as close as they can to the away supporters - theres no point with the segregation done so well. It gets ridiculous to have some over zealous little nerd in a security jacket shouting at people to sit down or be reported to the club for persistent standing when its almost everyone in the section doing so. Ive been to grounds where its safe standing and it works just fine.

Thats what I mean. We are filling up with players that we shouldn't be considering if we are serious about Europe. I'd keep Chalobah (even tho we will be bringing another in and probably still be keeping Matic,Cescy,N'Golo too. Id keep Christensen if he had a good pre season and looked like a good enough backup but I'd still buy a Cahill upgrade. This of course depends if Christensen would take a benching - I doubt it.. Not sure about Charly. If he cant make a go of it at a place like Real Betis how will he manage here?? And I'd send RLC out on loan where he shoulda been this season. Ake will be either sold or back on loan to Bournemouth

Dont know why we signed N'Golo. Looks like hes shite!

But they wouldn't mind where or who those fans were that they were doing their best to win games for and I couldn't care less. Just as long as while they are with us they're totally 100% Chelsea and they play their heart out for us. After they leave we just gotta say ta and thanks for the memories. Unless a player comes thru the academy from a 8 year old to being a part of the furniture in the 1st team a normal player will just think about moving,family conditions,practicality etc. Unless hes a young up and coming guy in the media spotlight who will be thinking about different things like using clubs as stepping stones,regular starts,having his ego stroked. Loadsa diff things depending on character.. We cant give Diego stick for being homesick and wanting to be back around people who he knows and loves. Id never blame anyone for wanting that. Done it myself. But hes still scored goals for us so what more can we ask of the lad?.

It took me seeing Lamps in that shitty blue shirt to realise that the majority of players purely see football as a job and the team he plays for as just another company. And like us when we switch jobs we have a couple of mates we see now n then but we do our best for the new boss and guys we work with. Its just us mug supporters who stay with oine team our whole life. Its us who use every emotion going when our teams doing good or bad. So now tho I do get upset having to think a top,much needed player will go (whether its his choice or the clubs) its summet we gotta accept and hope we can replace him with someone even better. Me I'd like Diego to stay and us to get Rom or Sanchez up on RW and use the top 3 as roaming strikers. What we going to say about Eden in the summer when RM make a firm push for him and it turns his head? Personally I would think that every player we had would stay this next year at least to see if Conte could make a go of us in Europe before jumping ship. They are starting players in the best team in the PL, supposedly the toughest league going.
