Chelsea have joined the race to sign Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Adrien Rabiot as they seek a replacement for Cesc Fabregas https://www.whoscored.com/News/KIKD6SWbZU2315v7nxSChw/Show/Chelsea-make-enquiry-for-Barcelona-target

Be one or t'other mate I'm just pissed we have no solid striker leads apart from Higs and Wilson

So you don't think we would by someone to replace Eden when we sell him? CHO would be on the bench no matter what/ His main hope is to be a better starter than Pully. Or get more and more chances and make the most of them. IF he had the confidence,faith and wanted to be in the 1st team enough then he would stay. I just don;t see it ho. If he wants out we either sell him now or it gets messy and come the simmer it will be less money.ot

I do hope he has but not knowing we bought Pully makes me feel dubious buddy. But I dont expect much more out of our board TBH. I remember when Mou came back and there was the reports of the details in his contract stating he would have no powers what so ever in players coming or going.. We might as well castrate all managers, tie their hands behind them and change their title o coach. I would dearly love if we had a system where the scouts,DOF,manager had regular ,meetings and they all got on the same page to choose who,where,why we want new lads. I dont see it happening any time soon tho

Agree Sadly I think that Eden slows us down at times, Peeps will agree or not but he does do some same moves at times. I would dearly love him to be more direct. Like when he has it in his mind that he is going to get to the goal The Eden that came out Vs Gooners and the goal Vs Victimpool, I would just like him to get some grit. Even if it didn't always come off. I know he gets man marked and double marked but hes used to that. He also needs support up there with him as that cant be easy for him. But I do think if he had a couple of different lads with him he could do so much more. Its awful having to piclkk a player purely cause he is HG RLC has had so many chances to prove himself but on;y done it a very few times. We give him too much credit as hhe is from the academy and we over hyped him far too early. I had high hopes but always considered him gangley and looked awkward like Bambi on ice. Nut hes a big strong guy with a bit of pace and skill now n then. He hust doesn't keep his form. Hes not some kid any more hes almost 23..

The problem being is that Ross and RLC just aren't good enough if we are serious about wanting to compete at the highest level. IMO we need 4 positions upgrading at the top equal priority ST/RW/LB/CAM - we can upgrade CB and RB (more offensively) ASAP after. And IF Edens gone that gives us another pain!

Looks like we are looking at Nandez too - doesn't seem the best passer. http://www.insidefutbol.com/2019/01/11/chelsea-show-interest-in-cagliaris-targeted-replacement-for-nicolo-barella/405412/

But the Poison Dwarfe said in a interview that Sarri was never interested in the players coming in at transfer time. He said he would meet with him with a list and he asked his opinions on each but never went to ADL and wanted certain players. More interested in the here and now. This is why I question how devious he is in interviews. I really dont think he is too pushy. And maybe that was a big part of why he was signed after how vocal Mou and Conte was about not getting the right players.

Thats why I questioned why you thought that price too high. You placed him high on the list behind sone world class players. Any tou know the inflated prices in todays markey for the majority of the time you dont aslways get wjat you pay for. But Ive always heardyou talk so highly of him that I would jump on him at that price myself.

This is what I mean'We can put soun on any player and make them sound either fantastic or bloody useless. We could turn thoughts on Morata about and say he is unlucky to miss so many chances and so many open goals. But surely a MAIN job of a forward is to provide balls thru speed and width via crosses and cut backs and provide goals and assists. Willan doesn't do this often enough to select him.

Yet you think £70 mill is too much for him?

Do you really think that Sarri talks in such a subtle way? And that his lines are so wide for you too read so much between them? Sarri strikes me very much as a meat and 2 veg kinda straight talking guy. He may lean on the side of caution when talking in interviews anout transfers of players not our own but I think that Willian is one of the 1st names on his team sheet and he really doesn't want to lose him sadly.

When we first got Sarri and was linked wiyj Higuain I thought it was a great idea and that we would be lucky to sign him and would be good for us. But my head started to rule my heart. And all these things like weight,age,price,amount of goals and assists he makes now has slowly began to change my mind about the guy.

That comment alone is one of our biggest problems!

I like Sarri and do think he COULD make us do good things but I must admit he does fuckin do my nut in at times!

You nutter. I really dont HOPE peeps arem't petty enough to bother about spelling and grammar on here. But if so then funk em! But Iggy did once comment that he was quoting a post of mine once and every other word was underlined in red lol But I type what I think and rarely change what Ive typed before I post it. But I do SOMETIME edit it to correct spelling once its posted/ I read something the other day that peeps spelling and handwriting is becoming more and more illegible due to computers etc. We just dont write anymore. And with kids using computers to do homework etc it starts at a early age. We just dont form words so peeps handwriting is getting to be worse than Drs.

I'll start a whip round to sort his flight out!

So there has been a LOT of hype over Malcom over the last what 2 years? Similar with Bailey. Whats our thoughts on Malcom now as a player?? YES!!! Couldn't agree more! I see that is where Pulisic is going to be good as he does like getting behind defenders. Jorgi would have loved Schurrle cause he liked doing it too. Wish we had a few that just tried to move into some sort of position for Jorgi to pass to. Stop all you moaning gits harping on about sideways and back passes!

What we should do is train up a hitman, Get him trained upto assassin level and give him a list! Then we could make a fortune in loamimg him out to other clubs as you just know he would have a queue of them wanting him. Stick his services on Silk Road and count the money! He could subsidize upgrading the whole team! AND THE BOARD! Now who is first on the list? Has to be a toss up between Emoji Man and Mz Penny Pinscher.

Shoudn't have got the Spanish Archer in the 1st place tho. I think I will do my best to stay away today as I feel my Grrr rising and I dont see it being a 'good news day' lol Lets pray to the footballing atoms I'm totally wrong.

Probably has a set of every manager we have had since 2003

Not harsh enough bud. All this time shes been thinking shes saved us money. With all her yes men surrounding her kissing her arse telling her what a great job shes doing so they can keep in with Roman. She just sees the bottom line when she buys a cheaper player optionl but all it does is make us weaker. Which loses us much more in the long run. I love Roman for what he did for us I truly do but she is Romans mouth,ears,head and balls and needs to sod off.

Sorry but I wouldn't keep her as Brdget even!

I dont mind the 1 year contract. It does keep a player on his toes and keep fit. IF the player was confident in himself he would accept the challenge IMO. But its when we are keeping the Emoji king instead of selling his arse AND taking a player then I call that plain stupidity and bad business. And she calls herself a business woman. Shes a pain in the clubs arse!

She really does need to go. Right now if she bought Icardi for £20mill I'd still want her out.
