    Manchester United are still chasing him to my knowledge, the contract hasn't put them off - it's just added an higher price tag. Just last week news was filtering out that United would increase their off to £80m.
    Not sure I agree about Arsenal.
    Out of all the London based clubs, Chelsea and Arsenal actually compare quite closely in my opinion, you both avoid signing players for the sake of it - resulting in recruiting players who fit your play, at the right place and have potential to develop. There was once a time not that long ago where Chelsea had many upcoming academy players quite highly rated, I think Jose put an end to your fledging stars because he likes ready made, experienced first team players.

    Prior seasons Chelsea has invested quite heavily, I would say this naturally brings higher expectations but that was awhile back - plus not every team can break the bank like United have in recent years (quite odd for a club riddled in debt allegedly).
    Every club has gloryhunters and people with their own agendas, believe me I also run a L2 teams fan site and I've seen many.
    However, Chelsea in the last 2-3 seasons have spent wisely (although perhaps last season it should have been spent reinforcing the defence and finding a striker). For me this is a credit to what Conte is doing and he's not the type of manager to splash cash around. So I wouldn't worry about some people think, as each fan has different expectations and not all are real. I'm sure in recent weeks I've seen god knows who wanted at my club and we've ended up with Kevin Nolan.
    Some would have had you believe Big Sam would have returned also.
    Enjoy being successful for playing attractive football and having a team that pull their weight for you fans.

    Wow, I had tweeted earlier about how I had promised to take my son to see you guys play. Yet we are presented the chance to actually play you in the cup, provided my team can actually get into the next round.
    First Premier League team he has seen was Liverpool in the League Cup sometime ago, where Adam Coombes scored the only notable goal during his time with us.
    My lad loved it and even though you'll stuff us, this is quite magical in terms of football because you have earned yourself a very loyal follower in my son (so much so he wants to join this place). I can't even get him to post on my fan site or FM. LOL

    Training session in football are tedious, however if you focus on 'fun' clearly your not learning.
    I'm afraid it just sounds like a journalist spinning out a 'non story' and making a molehill out of it. I'd be surprised if any footballer over 32 found training to be fun at all, most will naturally get to the point whereby they are rested instead and therefore annoyed that they're not pushing themselves.
    With regards to John Terry as a player, honestly I can't really make a call and would always bow down to the experts that see him perform more regularly than I do.
    Sounds like he's at the stage Alan Smith is at Notts mind!!
    Oh why did John Sheridan play him as a striker against Blackpool.

    Thats mild to what we have said about Ivan and alot about Cahill.But as for JT  he has our thanks love and respect but as for a new contract I sincerely hope not. He has the heart,head and character but sadly not the legs or lungs or engine. It would be great to keep him un some form or other tho along with Lamps and Drogs.

    Nope. Doesn't fit the pressing game we're playing. Also not a winger and we don't use CAM.

    I think Conte is starting to settle in his position, he knows which players he can rely on and he's got the best out of players like Hazard and Costa.
    A couple of weeks back, I watched you guys destroy Leicester City with my lad (increasingly becoming a huge Chelsea fan), Hazard and Costa bossed the match, I think the majority of chances came through them and Hazard seems to have been revived to his best (perhaps even beyond that). There was rumours going around the media that Conte may have been on the verge of being sacked (before your run), with the treadmill linking Hazard with a move elsewhere - if I recall correctly I think one team was Bayern.
    Once you can get a central partnership formed at the back, perhaps even replacing Terry (he still has a role to play) but what I mean is you need to find another player like him.
    I've mentioned in the past, I'm not convinced Cahill is of the same mould but with the reports linking certain players to Stamford Bridge, it would seem Conte has a good grip on what is needed and what can drive the club forward.
