Vesper

sack Lampard and bring in defensive pragmatic manager like a Conte type, a Simeone type, etc etc flip to a counter attacking style like I said, it would be a schizo move I do not see it happening (nor do I want this, I want him cashed in on this summer) I fear the worst, Kante will will not be sold, and we just trash the team trying to force him into a role that he is SHIT at, plus he loses truly massive value as he ages more also, your MF you posted has almost zero creativity

In September 1992, two mistakes in a match against Norwich City led to Chelsea manager Ian Porterfield telling the media that Beasant would never play for the club again, although in fact he returned to the side when Porterfield was sacked later that season. During the 1993–94 season Beasant sustained an unusual injury when, while making a sandwich in his kitchen, he dropped a 2 kg glass bottle of salad cream on his foot, severing the tendon to his big toe. As a result, he missed eight weeks of the season.

Saul, (who Atleti will sell cheap (cheap for him) but I am laughed off the board when I suggest this plus, that is simply beyond the scope of the next 2 windows (plus what is left of this one) we have to wait until summer 2021 to deal there I think we are in truly deep shit overall if you look at the big picture, especially if we miss out on CL again and especially if we do not sell Kante FFP is going to fuck us hard, as the board doesn't sell in a timely fashion (thus costing us hundreds of millions in lost revenue) and they make horrid contractual decisions and salary deals (plus the obvious string of shit buys)

add in no crunching DMF and very soon only TWO wingers (one of whom is injured atm) and you have perfectly summed it up!!! great post

there is a huge possibility we cock up in the summer too nothing is etched in stone we are rolling dice on 3 giant buys (one of which I do not even agree on as he is NOT worth 80m) Werner Sancho Chilwell <<< NOT worth 80m!!! NONE of whom are remotely in the bag (and who, even with the insanely low 25m RC of Werner, still cost £225m PLUS insane salaries for just the 3) plus we need AMF, DMF and another winger (if Willian walks on a free) and another LB too (and tbh, another RB too, as Azpi is spent and needs to GO but I accept he will not be touched at all, he is a teacher's pet) plus a 3rd CF (that is easy) we also simply must sell Kante (who is horrid in the role we now play him in and turns 30yo next season) to help fund (and that is going to be the mother of all brawls here)

my cleanout list is MASSIVE and will never happen much easier to list the only ones I WOULD KEEP (AGAIN THIS is ALL FANTASYLAND) not listing youth loanees and academy the only ones I would keep ff the current 25 man squad are CB Tomori CB Rudiger (he is trying my patience though, lolol) RB Reece DH DMF Jorginho CMF Kovacic AMF RLC (we are so fucked if he takes 6 or 12 MORE months to get back to true form) AMF Mount (maybe, maybe not, I would give Villa £25m plus Mount for Grealish atm or Leicester £40m plus Mount for Maddison) Winger CHO Winger Pulisic CF Tammy the rest are dregs and need to GO, plus we desperately need to cash in on Kante

you have it wrong we DID meet his release clause (£90m then, it is now up to £103m) Atleti had no choice IF he wanted to leave BUT Oblak himself said NO

probably was me (sob) but at least we are not paying him almost £20m PER YEAR like Manure are with De Gea

he turned us down flat so good luck maybe IF Simeone leaves, BUT he will stay if Allegri or Poch replaces Diego I have a shit tonne of far cheaper options who are far better than the Kepa of 2020 also no club will pick up Kepa's FIFTY MILLION QUID salary left on his contract plus pay us any decent transfer fee but lets say we DO find a sucker team who says ok, here is 35m for Kepa that means we have to still spend 120m euro (£103m)(now) RC on Oblak just for his trans-fee so a net spend of almost £70m right there PLUS Oblak's £200K PW (or more if he demands it) salary as well De Gea new contract is insane and Oblak might demand close De Gea makes almost £20m a year!!! lets say we get Oblak for 'only' 250K per week for 5 years that adds (versus Kepa salary) around £15m more so £85m total cost to upgrade add that to £375m to £430m that JUST IN FEES we will spend if we buy Sancho £120m Werner or Dembele around 50m (Wenger would only be £25m due to low RC in the summer) Chillwell 80m Zaha or some other winger (50m if not Zaha, 80m if him) if Willian walks on a free (we cannot roll all year with THREE wingers, lolol) Somare or some other DMF 50m and a creative MF for around £50m that is a gross spend (not net, net obviously lowers it as long as we sell sell sell) just in fees of £478m to £533m NOT COUNTING the increases in salaries (not counting even Oblak's) over the players replaced (and remember all this is with ZERO buys anywhere else, so no CB buys, no regular CMF buys, no RB buys, no 3rd striker buys, no backup keeper buys (Willy is 39 next season) bottom line...................................... NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN Nope especially if we lose out on CL again FFP will FUCK US and we have no new stadium at all (not even planned now) to add in massive new revenue we will not do it even IF WE SELL KANTE for £100m it is why I laugh when I see people (on top of all else listed) demand we ALSO buy Skriniar (who will cost around £90m more) we are in dire straights for realio overall especially as the board refuses to sell players in time fashion since 2017 (we have already lost around £300m in market value sales if/when Willian is added in when we walks on a free) <<<< Willian wants a 2 year contract with a MASSIVE pay raise as well!!! #fucktheboard

£142m counting his 7 years of salary roflmaooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

he is on (drum roll) £192K per week for SEVEN years total cost to us, fees included £142m over 7 years roflmaooo but hey, I am just a stupid bint who knows nothing about players, finance or life in general and the board are godlike supermen and women

it isn't going to change especially if we miss out on Werner and Sancho in the summer we may drop an insane desperation-driven 80m quid on Chilwell, but from what I have seen, he si not going to be a revolution at all I already gave up on CB action taking place now and in the summer Lamps loves the 4 main ones we have if we also miss out on Chilwell, and the baord refuses to sell Alonso and emerson, he will still trot out azpi at LB over half the time unless we wake the fuck u and buy Gosens AND either Grimaldo or Telles (all 3 could be had now if we just made the play) we will settle for Dembele at CF and we has a 50/50 chance of being another £40 to 50m or so Ligue 1/Bundesliga/Serie A CF bust in the EPL just like the 'big' 5 CFs who came into the EPL this year Joelinton, Haller, Cutrone (already gone), Wesley and Moise Kean

we need to make bold moves in the market, and the board seems paralysed and Lampard keeps backing shit the very fact we were (at least many, myself included) asking for BARKLEY to come on says it all

if SOUTHAMPTON had not blown a 2 goal lead, even they would have been only 8 points off us

Willian was also beyond dogshit today they all were except for Reece and maybe AC, maybe

Play him in Jorginho's position and we're fine. More pressing issues that need to be addressed where Lampard's management is concerned. Lampard simply will not use him as a defensive wrecker and tbh, his defensive play is a shadow of what it was (for whatever reason) injuries and too many minutes since 2015-16 perhaps

I would advise you also stay away from British and Yank politics as well, lolololololol

it is not going to happen under Lampard so its either sack Frank or sell Kante not just sack Lamps but we would have to pull a schizophrenic switch and bring in a Conte type or some other defensive pragmatic manager we cannot keep careening from style to style

oh I agree there as well but Lampard playing certain ones out of position and benching other is a double fuck as well

NEEDS TO BE SOLD IN THE SUMMER WHILST WE CAN STILL GET HUGE QUID

we surely at least need to get decent competition for him

most of those shots were speculative shit or weak we had the creativity of dead rat

or pushed it wide he has WEAK WRISTS he needs

Courtois has been insanely good for Real lately (grrrrrrrr)

Lampard's rookie mistakes are adding up FAST
