I felt it too... at the beginning it seemed Conte was very fond of Costa, played a huge part in his plans, but now Conte isn't sure whether or not Costa will be around this season. I'm with you and think Costa would like to go back to Spain, Chelsea isn't allowing him that, think if he had his way, he would have left last season already. The people in charge know that finding a goal scoring striker is a difficult task, so they won't let Costa off the hook easily. Can you blame them? Definitely not. Now turning to a different poster, nice texts@Henrique. We had problems in the past, mainly because of one case, but not this time around, keep it up!

A player who's been flying around the world and not keeping in shape, a player that is on high wages despite doing absolutely nothing, a player that had been told he's not needed anymore, but doesn't want to leave, wages and traveling the world with his bird are his end game. At the end, he had it coming. Mourinho is not beating around the bush, not all of his players are 'super, super', some of them aren't within his plans. Fair play letting them know and not wasting anyone's time. That's Ferguson esque and how did Chelsea handle Malouda again? Happens everythere, case closed for me.

Next Stones for another 50 mil.? Can't complain, Chelsea did it the some way a long time ago and these players improve their team... still wondering why don't buy fullbacks, but the immortal knows best... Gesendet von meinem SM-G930F mit Tapatalk

I'm not his biggest fan, but 23 years of age and banging them season after season, which club particularly doesn't matter. He's constantly talking, bigging himself up, but he's harmless, if he steps out on the pitch i think he'll always give his all, not as difficult as Diego to handle, imo. I prefer him over Morata, who just has his flaws like scoring actual goals...the striker market has been dry for quite some time...

For me he was the weakest link in the German side. What i give you is that Hector works hard, covers a lot of ground and isn't bad in duels. What i don't like is his positioning and his attacking contribution is next no nothing, crosses almost always go missing. A country that had a player like Lahm this is such a downgrade, unbelievable...i'm not a fan! But to keep things into perspective, before Conte has to field out Ivanovic and Azpilicueta (left side), i take Hector. We'll find out soon enough which direction Hector's career takes...

Couldn't cross to save his life, i for one would have much rather Baba in the team. For me Hector is average at best and not up to the job for a club like Chelsea. Gesendet von meinem SM-G930F mit Tapatalk

Club bought him for millions now he's off for half a million for a year. Don't think it's good business, hope Conte was the one who made the call. I wouldn't have loaned him... Gesendet von meinem SM-G930F mit Tapatalk

And?@Chelsea Buzz He's still young, has a nice body and looked promising in a few matches in the MLS. I think there's more to gain from him than from Cahill... Papy played decent for Bremen in the Bundesliga which isn't a joke league. For about 5 mil. not that bad, imo. I like that Conte is playing the likes of Loftus-Cheek, Aina and Chalobah. There must be something wrong with Miazga, don't know what, maybe you both have a point, still, i would like to see him in action...

What's up with Miazga? Bought him but is never given a fair chance, don't know why... Gesendet von meinem SM-G930F mit Tapatalk

That's subjective! United clearly thinks differently. And 'one of the best players in the world' doesn't necessarily indicate top 10, which number exactly is totally random, just sayin'.

He won everything the Italian league had to offer and now he's coming home as one of the best players in the world. He proved Ferguson wrong and under Mourinho he can become the best midfielder in the world. He's overpriced, but he will make United a better team and that's all what matters when you have the money. He has friends in Manchester and actually likes it there, EPL is the biggest league in the world, week in and out week he'll be in the spotlight, very good for his brand. If i were him and would do it too, but it's not done yet, so let's see what happens.

Just when I thought I was out...you pull me back in. A real fan wants the the best for his team no matter what! As i've stated before i'm of the opinion that a change in management is necessary to achieve the goal to self-sufficiency and be the club of the people again instead of some rich man's toy living by the grace of the owner who's as far as i'm concerned not fair towards certain people and throwing lots of legends to the wolves. It's been handled differently elsewhere, where's the identity at Chelsea!? How do you come clean? Winning the odd game here and there is no use, imo. But with failure questions will be asked, everything will be put under the microscope, at least there's hope. As already aformentioned, sometimes things have to get worse before they can getter. I'm not reinventing the wheel here, fans of different clubs are sharing similar thoughts for many years, sometimes it clears the sky, sometimes it's worse than before. But you have to take risks in life, otherwise you will be forever stuck in the limbo. I for one would take my chances, be a visionary, i could live with its consequences. Just some thoughts...

Found my phone, feeling pretty good! Try to change my ton, maybe i got indeed stuck in a too negative downward spiral, thanks for the heads up! So far, so good! Regards!

Nice text, put a lot of thought in it for someone who doesn't care, mhh. You don't like it, ignore it, if the problem still exists, enable the ignore function which should help. As far as i'm concerned i simply write my opinion, i don't like the board, but i'm still a fan of the club, so i think reading and sometimes posting is just fine. Sometimes i go to far, call me out and i consider, maybe i agree with you and will apologise. I try to attack the opinion, not the poster. If anyone from the 'police' thinks we need more yes men, ban me, otherwise i won't go away. In which thread i choose to write is none of your business. What you said about Mourinho is your opinion, i stated mine in the Mourinho thread. The things all of us have to say are opinions, not facts, so nice try with the lecture. Fuck me, i have different problems, lost my phone at a friend's wedding, but this text, i couldn't let stand. Good night!

Already trouble in paradis, maybe now Conte knows what he has signed up for. Unbelievable naive that he didn't include tranfers in his contract, now it's getting tough, but at least he has been taught a lesson for life. 'Abramovich looking less impressed' tells a good story!

About an hour before the shooting started i was in the city and not far away from the place, a 15 year old girl is now dead because of these fucking cowards, mate got something on tape, i should have been there, fuck...

I don't recall, what i do recall is liking a post which with hindsight and less emotions i shouldn't have, but it had nothing to do with Romanians. I saw you posted a picture but on my phone there was only white space so see, no text, so later i'll check it out on a bigger screen. I'm not a racist nor do want to insult anyone here. I'm sorry if you're under that impression. Regards!

If things went his way i think it's not out this world to say that (he) wouldn't have sold all of them, if he were responsible! There weren't even buy-back clauses in the contracts of KdB or Lukaku, ffs. They weren't mentally ready, imo. No shame in admitting it, people in the real world sometimes need a change in environment, new influences to take another direction in life, i'm doing it from time to time myself. The problem is just take a look at how Perez handles business, Carvajal, Morata, the list is also endless. Chelsea board should have known better, they come across as a bunch of naiv business people who tried to make it in football, that's one way to look at it, imo. Remember how the club tried to muck the CPO's around, some day enough is enough! You're right sir, i'm fed up with what that sibneft-screw has been feeding me over the years. With the odd trophy here and there how is a further development possible? I've read people saying that if Eden Hazard would be playing for a different team and actually coming to Stamford Bridge one day or another they would be cheering on his goal(s). Point is everyone has his personal chouchous and in cases like this there's only one way to prove people that they were wrong! I really think Mou is a once in a generation (Chelsea) manager and Chelsea blew it away, so i'm not happy! Have i been more active in this thread? I'm not keeping track, but if you and other people keep telling me, maybe there's some truth behind it, still not enough for a so-called reckoning... Haven't we seen it all before? New manager name one, choice is yours and see the same stuff happening all over again. It needed some time but the outrage in the KdB thread has been spectacularly, let's see what happens if Mou gets his hands on an actual trophy at the expense of Chelsea. If the money of the 'sibneft-crew' is in danger then there's a good chance that people adapt to the situation and we would see actual changes, the fish rots from the head down! Maybe i'm being ridiculous in your eyes, that's life and it always goes on at the end of the day. Furthermore i like how people keep telling that this thread is nonsensical but keeping showing up and writing posts. FFS why had you say something like this without backing it up? What do you gain from it?! Come back with truth or stop accusing people! Be a good boy and participate in this dicussion by attacking the argument, it's getting boring, thought we had normal discussions going on in other threats, seems i was in the wrong here, thanks for clearing that one up and now ignore me. I guess you would be the first to run crying to a mod because of an accusation like this.

But you shouldn't forget that we were going nowhere in the league before he came back for his second tenure. You're speaking about mentality, what mentality did the club bring in? Character after character left, which one of the youngsters really established himself? I'm not talking about the likes of Eden Hazard, i think you're talking about some young guns, did either of Avb, Di Matteo or Benitez really be fond of anyone? What is it with this obsession to find the next Messi in South America, Piazon that's about 10 mil. down the drain and it's name after name, some time ago Bayern Munich reduced their scouting there (Elber) and there's a reason for it. Did Mourinho really say three years or was it the term 'eventually'? I remember the latter and this time i can back it up, it was two years ago. Still there would have been 1 year left if you were right, but, you're in the wrong here. For me the game is about winning, if a youngster is good enough, he plays, but i'm not up for playing youngsters just for the sake of it. Playing for the sake of it is with friends in the backyard. If you're not winning enough, the better youngsters will leave, don't want to become a selling club. Maybe just maybe some academy lads aren't that good and others are too young. Solanke is 18 years of age, Mourinho played him in the UCL, so no one knows what could have been unfolded in years to come. 'He was not up to that standard', we'll see with Conte, i guess. I don't like the jibes, what more can i say...

It's always about personal opinion. I can only speak for myself but when Lampard as well as Cole steppend on the pitch under the 'guidance' of Avb they tried. Can't say that about the current bunch. Furthermore age has to be taken into account, Lampard and Cole were both at the end of their career, but before all of that, they had given everything for this club. There's no excuse for guys who're more or less at their top of their game. Mourinho is a well-known name in the league, everyone knows that his tactics work, Avb was unknown and he crossed a lot of people just in a few months. Remember him leaving the Drogs on the bench and fielding Lukaku against Manchester United just to prove a point, i mean, trouble will come especially when things are not going well. The locker room can just be like Highschool, even with grown men in it. I get that, but what i don't get is why the atmosphere could have been similar to your case. If the golden boy is unhappy, cut him out and do it with others too, don't know why he didn't do it, maybe too nice, despite all the reportings of his rather cold-approach. They're all on big contracts, but not even a reduction, just the 'phrase' we'll come back stronger. That's simply spoof, they say some words and that's it. Disappointed!

Maybe Jose will you teach you and others a good lesson what that term 'positivefootball' is all about, maybe not. But never forget that Jose was twice the mastermind behind one of the best attacking play this club and league has seen for a very long time. He can do it, has shown time and time again, take at look at his football in Madrid and their goal scoring record. Last not least search me on redcafe, there's no 'Essien19'. But i do like their registration process, you need to get likes or you'll be forever a newbie, good system, maybe i wouldn't get past it, but i wouldn't be against it in here. Yeah, that's the good thing i've grasped from redcafe, but otherwise, i'm not one of the redmen. So why should i go there? What i want is that this Chelsea board get in serious trouble...there aren't many ways to accomplish it. There must be a big rebuilding! Work, work and again work, Conte already knows, but he's already been put in his place, named 'just' the headcoach. As aformentioned, i'm under the impression that Jose already wanted to replace 2 apples, club didn't want to go down that way as we all know. Players had to done one thing and one thing only: try. Is it too much to ask? Back in the day it was. Everyone knows what Jose is all about: winning. I much rather have an awful season than winning nothing for 8 years. Even Red nose needed some time to set the sails, no one really knows what would have happened, everyone has his own opinion. But for Chelsea easier games were coming up, but the fan's opinion is worth almost nothing. To keep some perspective, we were reigning champions, we were in the Champions-Leauge, Fa Cup was a possibility, as the golden boy showed, sooner or later they'll bang in the odd goal to avoid some serious trouble. Then things aren't looking that bad anymore. Klopp hibernated at the bottom of the table, lost the first game after the break, but guess what? They sticked together and went to a cup final. With Jose fully committed to our course and all of our backs up against the wall fight until the very end was our job. Everyone knew it, most people were happy (ask the fans at the Bridge). That's brotherhood, during these times you find out one way or another what the other members of your crew are really made of. We failed so many times against average teams, but we stood up and tried, see the crisis through and come back stronger, i hear it's all about fight, comeback, lions in England and especially at Chelsea, but that's utter crap. People say the line 'one of us' is bullshit, but Chelsea didn't held up their end of the bargain, they do what they do best and fuck every good thing up, not looking back ever since is classic ol' Chels'. Lack of balls, lack of respect and lack of loyalty. When i get up, when i go sleep, i keep asking why?! What the feck has this lot done. People are right, a bit like cancer, they've done something terminally, something very bad.

If you can't beat him, bring stuff like this up ! Sure i was talking... maybe i was out of line, some members tried very hard to convice the whole community how shit Jose has become and i simply recommended them this place. With hindsight, it was unfair with respect to some guys in here, shouldn't have done that, i was at a very dark place and deeply depressed of what happened at my club. No excuse, i know! I'm still here, so it looks like i've changed my mind. The schadenfreude in here is still huge, but apart from the Jose discussions, there're some interesting discussions going in here. But if someone of the crew feels the need that i don't belong in here anymore, ban me. Maybe they're right and i don't belong in here anymore, my time could be up, everyone dies, that's life! As i've said above i don't like the schadenfreude. If there's even the slightest opportunity people stick it to him, at some point 'triggered'. Maybe i should have overlooked it, but obviously didn't. My bad, i guess. Yeah, speaking about football ability Avb's team was inferior but the game requires more than that. I think a lot of people learned it the hard way during this season. Meaning, overall i favor Avb's squad. Personal preference, for me it's a bit like men against boys. One should always take the whole picture into consideration. Jose has done a lot more things for this club than the likes of Scolari or Avb. Yeah, i guess you would say now that's the reason they gave him more time. Maybe but i don't like the timing of the sacking (transfer window was close to be opened), didn't read any more backings from the club and as things look they've let a lot of people off the hook...i could spit a lot more things, but i don't want to write a book as some people like to say. No one knows who was really responsible for the signings. Maybe Jose wanted most of them, maybe they weren't at the top of his list. Impossible to say. But people are sometimes wrong, sometimes relationships do fall apart. Now i say something which could be impossible to back up, at least it would take some time to bring evidence to the table, but maybe you remember and it's not necessary. Anyway, before the third season started, i read that Jose wanted to cut off Diego Costa. In addition to that he was trying to sign Pogba (Fabregas replacement?), two of the underperformers could have been out of the team. Moreover i don't think he wanted the likes of Papy and Baba, moaned how long it took the club to bring in a replacement for Filipe Luis, Baba, really!? Pedro... you could have a case there, who is an ITK these days? For me, something has to change at this club, i'm not feeling that big of a love anymore. They treat certain people like shite and others get an easy ride, imo. Some parts of the fanbase worship that kind of behaviour. I'm having a hunch that some form of short 'success' wouldn't change a goddamn thing and i can only speak for myself but i've had enough of this 'sibneft-crew'. Conte is the poor soul, but under the Russian's reign, sooner rather than later every managers gets the sack, can't beat the odds! Overall i don't have problem with you and your 'behaviour'. I haven't bust you (yet ) chatting shit, no worries, you're always respectful. Sure praying for success is an honorable thing to do, you're a better man than me, i'm so fecking bitter, can't help myself in this case. Love deep, hate deeper, always have, always will!

Club should have sold all of the rebels, Ferguson was allowed to cut off anyone and guess what?! He turned out to be the greatest manager of all time. That golden boy wasn't even fit to lace Keane's boots, but at one point Keane was out. It's over, but there's a chance that the club will taste its own medecine, maybe then they would restructure, at the moment just a toy of a rich man and living by its mercy, but we're not a child anymore, it's time to take over! About time to become our own boss.

Didn't get the memo that we're not living in a free country anymore. I'm still in here, not elsewhere. That should tell you something. But keep it up! Sometimes things have to get worse before they can getter, so far it looks like Chelsea have learned nothing from this debacle, just sticking by the book as usual, new manager, a few new faces coming in, seen this all before, haven't we!? Long term rinse and repeat. I can't get my head around how these people treated one of Chelsea's greatest servants, maybe it's a different culture. Fuck me, we've still got that golden boy. Champagne showers everywhere, but not for me! Nice try with the pictures, but Jose could have hang up any pictures, he deliberately chose these ones, but of course he's just a fraud, whatever helps you sleep at night, mate.

I for one wouldn't be too upset if he gets his revenge on this lot. The rats have it coming! A lot of people still talk shit about him as much as possible, the guy has pictures of this club at Manchester fecking United, doesn't get any better than this, lol. Back in the day no loyalty whatsover, players fucked him, club too and didn't give a rats ass about him, the persons in charge and a lot of fans knew better and wanted him gone (again) despite of all the good things he's done for this club, now they desperately try to exorcise the so-called demon, are you having a laugh, i mean really?! Because of Jose's pulling force United were able to sign the likes of Zlatan, Mkhitaryan and perhaps Pogba, De Gea mentioned he's staying now ,imo. But yeah, he's lost it, sure, we'll see, everyone has his own opinion on this matter. My money is on Jose!
