Here's Jose back at the end of April: "Next year [solanke] has two ways to go. For me it would be a big mistake for him to go on loan to another team in England or in Europe." "Staying at Chelsea, training with the first team, having pre-season with the first team, sometimes covering the main strikers, and playing every week again for the Under-21s and the Under-18s - he would probably never need to go out on loan. He can just go step by step here, and in a couple of years [he will be a] first team player." Just saw that over on WAGNH. Amazing how peoples minds change in such a short amount of time eh!

I agree mate. I love banter and taking the piss out of mates that support the north Londoners and Ive wound my best mate up to the point we have had a skuffle but its only close to or on match day and we laugh about it after. I totally understand and love how Mou gets behind us and stands up for the lads and I really dont mind him taking the piss as long as its just tongue in cheek with a wink and a cheeky grin. As for transfers/youth inclusion etc we really dont know what sort of discussions hes had with Roman do we. All we can do is guess, making our own minds up about things we dont know. And of course we will jump to different conclusions. But it seems hes opting for youngish lads thats shown promise in regular football for a season or twp who will be ready to play together when the old defenders shoot off. And I THINK I would prefer that to the academy lads we have tried upto now. IMHO they have been over rated. Ive no idea what the fucks going on and admittedly Im worried. But maybe it might just need a season of cockups to get the people making decisions on the same page.

Cescy and Matic just need a 3rd partner thats not Rami or Mikel. He needs more time and space on the ball to make the plays. Hes got a great eye and knows where players are and going to be. Hes just not made out for number 10 and I dont think anyone we have is.

I know (or should that be I HOPE) its just a load of bollox but nowt much surprises me lately.

I think if I was Happy I might just regret coming to Chelsea instead of the north Londoners. He would have walked into their 1st team and by now with all the regular playing time would be an amazing young talent and probably one of the best CBs in the world. IMHO if we dont stop fucking about with him, playing him LB and CM and playing Cahill over him plus IF we are getting another CB will be going even further down the pecking order then I think hes going to say ta ra. Hes far too good to lose him.

Roman Abramovich attended the wedding of Jorge Mendes over the weekend along with some of the most powerful men in football including the presidents or owners of all of Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Valencia and PSG. Transfer chitter-chatter over the very finest canapés, a great secret mission for Abramovich. Just like his mission to get Witsel eh.

I trew a party when it was finalized Mou had come back to us and I love the guy alot. You really couldnt ask for a better manager. And I normally trust him 100%. I love his no sentiment,no BS approach to team selection. How he can get rid of amazing players who have been our best players so it can make the team as a whole better, stronger. But how can he do that yet not see the trouble we are in right now? He can get rid of Mata,Lamps...... to make the team stronger, to let other players come thru because a players too big, but how the fuck can't he see that Rami amd Mikel just are not good enough and dont offer us anything for our awful midfield? And thats just the tip of the iceberg. It surely cant just be a favorites game or to pull a Wenger and try to prove he is right when everyone else is wrong. Can it??

But the whole point is IF we are prepared to offer £39 mill for Stones then why the fuck dont we at least try to show we want to have a go for Varane. I know which one I would prefere!!

We would be slagging the north Londoners off if they were coming out with the daft excuses some of us are coming out with. Theres times when we gotta call a spade a spade and ask some tough questions.

Or you mean last minute panic buys when all the lads we was looking at are now gone?

I dont know whats going on in Mous head. Hes got one hell of a footballing head so I dont understand how he makes decisions sometime. Im getting to think hes too concerned with defending and drills it into the lads so much that theyre scared to take a shot on goal. This is his 3rd season now and I dont think hes stayed anywhere over 3 years. I wonder why? He said in a interview this week we need to start playing in different ways. I didnt see owt new just more of the 2nd half of last year only not as good. I realize he got scared and thought we had to play defensively last year because of injuries but we only had 1 today (Im sure we shall hear that alot) so why couldnt we play like the 1st half of last season to begin with (Or was the north Londoners too big of a team?) If he wants to try new things whats stopping him apart from not having the players we need to do it?

Whats the odds that watching Rami start will all of a sudden shake Mou et al from this dream time theyre in and make them realise just how much help we need. Is everybody happy?

I'm sorry if this upsets anyone but I thought we were bad. I would love to see the stats for shots on goal. I think our lads have forgotten the point is to score goals not defend at all costs and I dont think its all their fault. I could have made a list of the excuses we would come up with - and would have been right. This micky mouse trophy isn't only about a bit of silver and bragging rights its about a mindset for winning. All the players should have done more. And as for someone saying he thought Rami was ok!! I'm pissed off and pretty worried about our whole season. Anyone else worried yet?

At least Metro agree with me. WHY HAVEN'T WE AT LEAST TRIED FOR HIM?? http://metro.co.uk/2015/08/02/should-chelsea-make-a-transfer-move-for-raphael-varane-instead-of-evertons-john-stones-5321813/

I know I would have gone more often with teachers like her.

Seems like a nice boy

We will give them a shout for you mate, get you in the mood for when you can do it next month! Right thats me off to the pub. See you at the game guys.

Read what I put.

Jose, is that you? You’re ruthless, cunning and won’t let anything get in the way of your team succeeding. You scored 87 out of 100

And he shall be wearing a tear stained face tomorrow.

It would totally fuck up our recent relationship with the north Londoners. And it would put me in the sort of a mood that makes my Mrs PMS look like a holiday at Disneyland.

We knew the lad was liked by Mou and even with the differences playing wise between countries leagues hes had good reports. And as it seems that he is now for whatever reasons with us so we just have to accept it, wish the lad all the best and get behind him to play his heart out for us.

I do really agree with you Barbara but how is it helping the lad OR US him being constantly limping over to the bench. That must do his confidence the world of good. With the medical team we have behind us I would have thought if he had all the summer to recuperate from an op he woud come back feeling fighting fit. Instead the break hes had hasn't SEEMED to have helped him at all. (We are still HOPING its a Mou trick )

I can see JT being OK this year and being phazed out next. Right NOW we have certain problems with both Bane and Cahill fact. At times they have given us alot of trouble and if any of our opponents have any sense that is the area they attack. What we think means fack all, Mou seems to think they cant be replaced. I love them both and Bane above all is the epitome of a Blue but sentiment aside we are in trouble with 3 lads all on 1 year renewables. Ive made a post somewhere explaining Mous new transfer system. With him normally wanting to bring in top complete players he is looking to build a club for 10 years in the future. In his eyes he sees Bane/Cahill have 1/2 years so hes bringing in good young lads with bags of potential that will be phased in slowly to take over when they shoot off. With Zouma here and a CB/LB coming thats our new back line. Thats how I see it anyway
