Clockwork

Idk I feel Kante is nowhere near his best nowdays.

Because common sense dude, and Lukaku himself said Tuchel convinced him to come to Chelsea. Chelsea board: what are your thoughts on Lukaku? Tuchel: he doesn’t fit my team Chelsea Board: ok cool we are going to spend a club record fee on him. if Lukaku was inexpensive and unknown player maybe, but to suggest that the club spent a record fee on a player the current manager didn’t want is illogical. You can argue that the board are incompetent but to suggest they are insane and unreasonable is a serious error.

What top midfielder would want to join Chelsea playing behind Jorginho, Kante, and Kovacic? Especially when we play a 2 man midfield? you are forgetting that Tuchel started Alonso at the beginning of the season and had shown confidence in him. His opinion has changed in recent months. 2017? lol Conte got a lot he just sucks at identifying them. We are still paying for his crap transfers like Bakayoko. I honestly think 2014 was when the board really let down a manager. After we won the PL, it was clear by the end of the season this team was running out of steam and we needed transfers to stay at the top. Back to Tuchel, he probably doesn’t think long term and knows the history of Chelsea managers. Regardless of fit, there are many managers think they could work around them, I have never liked Lukaku but he is considered a top striker. Tuchel is not in the same level as Klopp simply put, on some matchdays absolutely, but Klopp has a much better vision and able to get the best out of his players. How good were Salah, Mane, Robertson, etc? He has built a machine and can identify players that can match his team like a glove. I really don’t know how much clearer I can be regarding the Lukaku situation, there is no doubt if Tuchel gave the Chelsea board a warning that he is not a fit for his style then Lukaku would not be a Chelea player, and they would have looked for cheaper option and according to you they are cheap so that would have made happy right?

On one hand you are arguing that the board is cheap and doesn’t back the manager. On the other hand you are also arguing that the board spent a club record transfer fee on a player the manager didn't want. Lukaku also doesn’t fit the typical board signing , too expensive and not young enough. Here is what I believe what happened, the target were Harland and Lukaku. It became clear Haaland was a no go, so the attention turned to Lukaku. There is no doubt Lukaku wouldn’t be a Chelsea player if Tuchel didn’t want him and expressed that to the board. Tuchel probably thought we struggled to score last season, and Lukaku is one of the best goal scorer in the world. so tell me what makes more sense; Chelsea board are irrational beings who are hell bent on sabotaging the manager or that Tuchel simply miscalculated Lukaku fit?

Can’t imagine Lukaku being here next season seeing how apparent it is and how much he is playing recently.

Some people are not being honest with themselves, Lukaku himself said he was intent to stay at Inter, but Tuchel convinced him to come back to Chelsea.

Dan Gilbert is a mega donor to Michigan State University athletic department, the guy is extremely passionate about sport.

The Cubs success was primarily due to Theo Epstein, he also played a huge role with the Red Sox before. He is one of the most respected guys in baseball.

Huge fan of him, I think his future is in midfield. Pep would do wonder with him, like he converted Bernardo Silva. Getting rid of Lukaku and Werner is the main goal this summer. That should open up one incoming attacker and bring back Borja.

Here in the US more than 50% of the stadium recently built by the NFL were funded by tax payers/ government, what is the law in England regarding stadium subsidy.

No one has problem with them taking issue with the request, did you stop reading the club and their chairman statement after that? https://theathletic.com/news/middlesbrough-chairman-gibson-hits-back-at-Chelsea-over-fa-cup-request-Chelsea-and-sporting-integrity-do-not-belong-in-the-same-sentence/bQIrChY960da/

Saul is much better than Alonso.

Thanks i didn't know that. It is just strange there is a bidding war for a club that was seized by the government.

So who is getting paid when Chelsea are sold? The government? Who’s pocket is that going to?

Tuchel is a clown for keeping Sarr on the pitch.

Kante is getting worked, and Havertz is not providing his usual link up.

What is wrong with Saul?

Why is Sarr playing? Saul was doing a solid job.

Man Hyundai and Three are not happy that Chelsea are no longer owned by Russian oligarch.

Same with City and their UAE owners heavily involved in the Yemen conflict. Yup exactly, i absolutely hate corporate posturing bs. They don't give a shit.

LOL so sponsors are partying way to support Ukraine and don't want to be associated with Russian oligarch, and they make the decision when Chelsea and Roman relationship is basically over.

Yes you can always sell them and get a fee.

He is a Turkish nationalist, they suck big time.

The fact Adam schefter is reporting Woody Johnson interest is very worrying, he is the most plugged in journalist in sport.
