Ramsey is also going to cost them diddly squat so they cam afford to pay him those wages. I know his Mrs is a pain in the arse it seems but I think they both thrive under the spotlight. He loves the center of attention. Both with massive egos wich I dont mind as long as peeps talents are just as big. His numbers have gone down a little with 5 goals in last 15 games which is low for him But I'd give him some golden handcuffs and tell his Mrs they would be bigger than Posh and Becks if they came.

Still won't be changing our 30+ contract policy. It would be a complete embarrassment after getting shot of Cescy. But right now we dont have a forward under contract after next summer. With Willian/Pedro only on 1's - hopefully 1 or both will be leaving - Pedro to stay at a push. and with CHO/Eden already with a foot out of the door the club are going to have to be busy in the market this summer. Hopefully they started in December. The time between now and the start on next season will shape our future for a few seasons I think.

Pointless selling him for the pittance we would get for hm now. Cant see us getting over £50m for him. IF he had any loyalty for us he would sign a new contract with some clause and an a fair RM buy price set. But of course that would considerably lessen the chances of them wanting him and he wouldn't want that would he? Instead of looking at Bales house him and his family shoould just move in with the big nosed snake.

Why?

I can see it being Mat K Kante Barkley And he will def start Eden abd with the idea to score a couple quick but with him looking at Manure game be Eden Higs Pedro Emerson Rudi Ampadu Zappa

I read this what ge said in the interview yesterday so I presumed he wouldn't be going Talkoing about RLCs baclk and the team for the FA cup "I hope for the next week and match in the FA Cup... but it was impossible for tomorrow. I wanted Marcos to rest for the match. No physical problem." and Jorginho might get a rest ahead of the FA Cup game with Manchester United, while Mateo Kovacic could fill into that role.

He will more than likely be off to Juve BUT...... At 19 he will be far too young and too much of a gamble for many of us on here!

With Alonso/RLC not travelled I see Emerson in. And CHO also staerting. Maybe Ampadu in for Luiz? But it wouldn't at all shock me if we pissed this.

Thing is tho bruv can he rebuild a team? He's never had to do it before.

C'mon Dortmund! Want to see how Pully plays on the LW

Sarri's chat with Luiz and Hudson-Odoi hint - Behind the scenes of Chelsea's training session Chelsea news takes a look at what went on during the open training session ahead of the Europa League clash against Malmo https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/news/chelsea-europa-league-sarri-luiz-15826155

I expected a bad start but that we would gradually get better as we got used to it.'But we have a group of players that are not playing like a team just individuals. Appy polly loggies cause I can feel a rant coming on!! Just pass on if you want! Just trying to make sense out of the jumble in my head. With Sarri this is the last 3 managers that have all had problems with a similar team. There's got to be some inkling of truth to it. One manager you might think - excuses, But to have all 3 saying there's problems mentally that's a problem. They are well known for their dressing room tantrums. They are either not following what Sarri has had them do in training on purpose or they are not capable of following instructions. We are like some demented yoyo right now up/down/up/down - Play shit/Play good/Play shit. There's got to be some sort of mental problem and not only not able to play well. They are all Billy Big Bollox in the dressing room but when the shit is down on the pitch and we are in trouble they wind their necks back into their shells. I've been trying to think of what the problem could be for my own sanity and asking these questions in my head. I'm sure we all have asked ourselves some things similar. Maybe we just don't have the right players to play in Sarris way? Maybe its because of the way we have played predominantly over the last 20 or so years. This system is based on high pressing. Our forwards generally can't! If we want a high pressing,fast team that plays attractive,exciting football then we have to buy those type of players. Pully is a good start IMO tho MAYBE a little lightweight for the PL. Lets hope not.. Both of our previous managers have played completely different styles. Each one brought in players to fit their specific style/needs. Right now we are left with a patchwork quilt of a team with players trying to change their styles they have played their whole lives. The board has never shown any consistency in the way we want to go forward. No plan. No identity. Diddly squat! We have been playing on the back foot more defensively and just forgotten how to go forward as a team. But that would still mean we would be able to defend together. The team cant listen to instruction - cant be that Shirley not. Almost same squad switched to and played Contes 3/4/3 fine. They played great early season this year, They listened and changed and beat Shitty 2-0 a couple of months ago. We beat Victimpool and almost beat them twice! Exact same players ffs! Is it Sarri? He complains that his players dont listen but still uses those same ones without trying the others out. Why doesn't he adapt and try new ideas thru the game? Is Sarri capable of re building a whole team of players to suit his style? He doesn't have that expertise and hasn't need to do so before.I dunno. We bring in Sarri and ask him to do what Pep has done at Shitty and lesser so Klopp and Poch, but we should have some football knowledge at board level that should stand up and say he can't be asked to do it if we only give him 1 player, a loanee and a couple of yoofs! Those other 3 managers were given total support from their club. From before he came we knew this was a very rigid style structure and that the team had to fully get into it for it to work. We saw all the scouting vids etc of how he got Napoli moving as one. So if the board and players (and us) don't fully get behind Sarri they cant blame him for not being able to implement his style. It is a very rigid structure. Is it TOO rigid for the PL? OK so what if we/the board, fully get behind Sarri. We change all these players that I think needs upgrading but still find theres problems and we dont get silverware. Roman says fuck this get a new manager. WTF happens then if the board goes out and brings in a defence minded manager again?? We will be sitting with players that we bought for a different purpose again. We need to get a direction, an identity and some continuity. I do honestly think that we COULD do a good job under Sarri with the right players. But it will still upset me some as Sarri is now saying exactly what Mou and Conte said that we need a overhaul. We could have done this under Conte and backed him. My overhaul means a good 6 or 7 players being changed of the squad we have put forward for the PL to start with. Rant Over

Not even thinking this far ahead yet. Want to see if Romans going to back him or not.

I keep saying it but get yer arses back here then and help shake the cobwebs away!! Or you could just come to Spain with me for a couple of days! http://www.expogrow.net/2019/home/ Perfect prezzie for her indoors for Valentine day!! https://shop.greenhouseseeds.nl/

Right now we have a team without a ounce of fighting spirit and only a bit more brain power and skill to use it. The majority do not and most have not now got what we need to bave at the club right now if we intend to make any sort of contention in the PL let alone across Europe/ This is no kneejerk reaction. I don't give a fuck cause I'll still be at the games. But blimey I've seen us play bad and lose but we fought as hard as we could while losing and ran ourselves into the ground doing it. This has been coming for awhile. Your Grandfather (and mine) would be throwing themselves around at the sight of this bunch of prima donnas strolling about with their hands on their hips looking at their boots feeling sorry for themselves not at me wanting to kick their arses to the kerb!

I honestly don't know enough about the kid to argue his case. Only thing in my head is IF he is better than our current options them play him. You know me I want a complete sort out from top to bottom. The majority of the 1st team gone. Look at our current top 3 options. Not one of them with a contract past the summer apart from Eden and we know that story. This right now is the best time to do it. I know it might sound plastic saying it but I don't give a toss. We need to buy a whole new team almost.

I do know what you mean and as a rule I like tall defenders but he is getting a lot of good reports But with Bristol having this pre agreed option to buy how can we keep him?

1st post I read this morning. Even in the mood the Chelsea part of my head is in it made me smile so ta! But I still don't like cats! And welcome to the sits!

Very true mate. Didn't look at it that way!

So just how can Juventus afford to give Aaron Ramsey £400,000 a week? From raising season-ticket prices to selling star names to comply with Financial Fair Play, the Italian champions have perfected the system Aaron Ramsey announced he will join Juventus as a free agent on July 1 Ramsey will make at least £83.2million over his four years with the Italian giants But after buying Cristiano Ronaldo, many fans questioned how they can afford it Sportsmail looks at Financial Fair Play, boosted commercial deals and revenue https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-6695075/From-raising-season-tickets-selling-star-names-Juventus-afford-splash-Ramsey.html

Might need to join the monster raving loony party but I can't imagine Granny Penny Pinscher having that same passion to want to change something for the better. Maybe she needs her bumps felt?

Thats what I've been saying it in a nutshell. Go back a couple short years ago and the squad was full of captains of their national team or regular players for their countries team. Whats happened is all that commitment,passion and footballing heads it took to get them there has slowly drained away. We are left with a magnolia copy of then. We dont have a leader. I did think Luiz had it in him but him and Rudi were diabolical too All of them moping around hands on hips feeling sorry for themselves. I would have gladly punched them alll. How do you give faith again to players that give up like that? I'm at a complete loss. Never felt this bad even in Div 2.

Every soddin single one of them needed to be named and shamed! See if Eden would give his 'I don't care, I thought I played good" speech. An old Chelsea lad kinda sums them up

We must admit tho that Dave just isn't suited to his system/ He had a shocker on sunday. Ou captain was all fingers and thumbs The team obviously don't listen to him - if he did try to rally them and get their heads together. And gave them a penalty as if they needed one. But have to keep him even on bench as theres more chane of a new manager than new players. @OneMoSalah We kept them both too long. I think JT made them both look better than they were and when he left it showed. Very basic skills wise but strong big old boys who were needed at times.

I think his biggest problem (and ths goes for a couple of the others too,) is that his brain works like mine!! I would make a totally useless team sportsman cause I weigh up every single option usually and can see advantages in all the ones I think of. A very typical Libran. Sees all sides to summet. Whereas a millionaire sportsman needs to have thought about those decisions before hes got the ball. He needs to have looked up and sussed out where everyone is and do what he has decided. Alonsos still thinking what his best option would be while his bodys decided for him so it never works out. Add not being able to cross a ball or make a decent pass 90% of the time and its got the makings of a bang average player. How I see him anyway.
