Unionjack

Seems the offer has been confirmed but sgort of the 35 mill euros needed. http://www.insidefutbol.com/2016/11/11/yes-offer-from-chelsea-sampdoria-supremo-names-price-for-discussion-on-luis-muriel/312947/

He just scored making it 3-0

I dont know the best place to post this but as its Contes doing............. Really is a good read Breaking down Chelsea’s corner and free kick routines http://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/2016/11/11/13599696/breaking-down-chelsea-s-corner-and-free-kick-routines

Playing the devils advocate I do actually agree with him TO SOME EXTENT about how players/sportsmen have always gone out toi perfortm with a form of injury and it CAN be an easy cop out if they want to be mardy about it. These lads are millionaires and they got a kushdy life with everyone blowing smoke up their arses and I think theres times they get away with alot. How many times do we read that players just get a cortisone injection and get on with it? BUT at the same time - they ARE millionaires and IF they are really injured they do have a chance to cut their careers short.

Alot of crap going down about him not getting any play time at all under Conte by Gernot Rohr the Nigerian manager. Some BS about Emenalo getting involved. Is this another way of Emenalo causing grief eith the managers? Antonio Conte slammed: Manager reveals talks with Chelsea director Michael Emenalo http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/731239/Chelsea-Mikel-John-Obi-Antonio-Conte-Gernot-Rohr-Nigeria-Manager I see some story about Roman telling Granavskaia to help the Don any way she can APPARENTLY. Maybe its sour grapes on Emenalos part with Conte pushing for his choice of Director of Sport? Theres something about him that just doesn't click with me. Seems snidey. Maybe Im totally wrong. Might be a really nice guy.. Roman Abramovich entrusts Chelsea's First Lady Marina Granovskaia to help Antonio Conte deliver success http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/11/09/roman-abramovich-entrusts-chelseas-first-lady-marina-granovskaia/ APPARENTLY Roman described the performance against Everton as world class!

To cut it short we weren't playing so good but now we are shit hot. Shame it was made pre Everton.

Bloody great mate. You staying a few weeks then eh! Shame youre noy here for Dippers and North Londoners next time round. Specially if the Don gets a interesting pick or 2 in Jan. But nice you can see us playing good. Hoipefully tyhey put on a display for ya, Is that what you were on about in that Msg I got?

I cant wait. Dieing for Spuds game

But Cescy is a perfect deep playmaker. Stick him in between Luiz and Matic/N'Golo and hed be perfect. But I also reckon Chalobah could give us the creativity we need too. He just needs more playing time with Kante.

Yeah I know but we could lend him out for 3 or 4 seasons and he could become another lost soul. But kid does look good. It will be an interesting closed/pre season for us. See how the Don feels about yourh with a few to choose from.

Cant see Simeone going till his contract rins out. Thats why I'm not worried about Costa joining him. He wouldn't rejoin for 2 years not now hes playing so well and HOPEFULLY be in Europe next season. But I cant see Griez joining us, Hes not said 1 kind word or even mentioned us that Ive seen. I'd donate my left dangley for the cause if he did tho. But think we need to dream elsewhere. And seems people wouldnt mind losing Willian/Pedro at all over him. I knowq I wouldn't

Getting to the stage where we either let him go on a Bosman at end of season or we TRY to shift him in Jan to make ar least some money for his wage bill this year. But maybe after 11 years service we give him a testimonial and thank him for his time. I know hes got his fauts but theres not many players stick with 1 ckuv thru thick and thin for 11 years is there. JT/Bane and Eduardo all up in June too. I'd really like to see us put JT to good use coaching or as some other role while hes taking his exams. But I see him either in US or China trying yo go out on a bang. Lets hope Wet Spam want bane in Jan. As for Veratti - Can you imagine a 3 man central midfield of Matic/N'Golo and him?? Oh Dear!!

Hope that limp isn't bad. http://metro.co.uk/2016/11/09/chelsea-fans-sweat-as-eden-hazard-limps-away-awkwardly-at-end-of-belgium-match-6247579/

Lopetegui says he arrived with it!! And with Eden limping off after their game I'm realizing why I'm not interested in national games anymore. But I suppose I realize why the players are. It did make me laugh a little with us only having 1 in the England team when not so long ago we were the backbone. But personally I think its daft having to use so many HG players in this day and age. Its an open market and clubs should be allowed to gert their players from anywhere. IF a players good enough and gets the right luck he will find the level he should be at. Whether hes English or from outer Mongolia. Once they put on our kit they're Chelsish!

With the WBs droppimg back it gives us a back 5 and it happens quite alot. But what Ive liked alot about this formation is whenever one of the lads has the ball hes got at least 2 open targets to pass to, And he doesn't just hold the ball waiting its 2 touches at most - pass and move. So entertaining to watch. I so wish we could have a do over wirg those north Londoners,

Costa hardly ever starts,

They would orobably make a winning team put together. I see that north London lot have 29 out on loanm Nowt ever gets said about them tho.

Anyone know how hes getting on at Dortmund? Ive not heard owt about him since he moved.

I always liked him but we had so many in same position he never got a fair shot. I stul love him for that 1st goal he scored agaibst the North Londoners, Pinpoint pass from Maric abd Salah had left the defenders a mile back. Shame really.

8 Goals In 12 Games Since Leaving Chelsea: The Biggest Mistake By The Blues In Recent Times? http://soccersouls.com/2016/11/10/8-goals-in-12-games-since-leaving-chelsea-the-biggest-mistake-by-the-blues-in-recent-times/

I hear everything you say thru my drugged haze and I agree with alot but I still think he lacks some power and aagression.

Interesting read from last July http://www.squawka.com/news/why-is-jose-mourinho-turning-to-victor-moses/426850 Why is Jose Mourinho keeping Victor Moses at Chelsea?

The only thing that ever pissed me off about him was rgeowing himself on the floor and giggling like a schoolgirl. Like he was competing with Drogs who could make a dive look the more ridiculous. But hes changed alot since those silly billy days. I think unless he brings in a stronger candidate I'd be happy to give him the captains armband.

I can just see the snipers practicing now!

I still think a Eden/Diego/Lukaku front line would be scary! Ronald Koeman tells Romelu Lukaku to leave Everton http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/730405/Romelu-Lukaku-Leave-Everton-Ronald-Koeman-Transfer-Chelsea-Manchester-United
