GARY CAHILL KEEPS CHELSEA ARMBAND AS SARRI CONFIRMS DECISION https://readchelsea.com/2018/11/02/gary-cahill-keeps-chelsea-armband-as-sarri-confirms-decision/ Jesus fucking christ on a crutch First no Kovacic perm signing, now this shit BAD BAD BAD day so far

He is a right proper cunt, I fucking hate him.

Only way I will not lose my mind is if we are going to not go for Kovacic due to one of these being signed Sergej Milinkovic-Savic Lazio Saul Atletico Madrid Koke Atletico Madrid Marco Verratti PSG Frenkie de Jong Ajax Tanguy Ndombélé Lyon Adrien Rabiot PSG Piotr Zielinski Poison Dwarves Miralem Pjanic Juve Thiago Alcantara Bayern Munich are coming in (and even some of those I still rate Kovacic over) He is fucking on verge of world class level, extraordinarily talented We have NO ONE remotely like him on the team or on loan Mount is an AMF

Chelsea news: Mateo Kovacic transfer decision made by Stamford Bridge chiefs CHELSEA are not planning to sign midfielder Mateo Kovacic on a permanent basis. https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/740149/Chelsea-News-Mateo-Kovacic-Transfer-Real-Madrid-Loan-Rumours-Gossip IF TRUE..... WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!! MADNESS

Unfortunately, unlike our shit board, Shitty's put a buyback clause (and also a sell-on clause, so they win either way) into the contract of the 2017 Sancho sale. Shitty will NEVER allow an EPL team to buy him from Borussia Doetmund. Only way we can get him is to buy him after he is sold back to Shitty (will never happen) or buy him from the non EPL team (most likely PSG, Real, or Barca) who would spend so much that even Shitty says 'Fuck it, we will just take our £15 to £20m pure sell-on profit and maybe come back for him in a few years.'

I saw multiple reports both ways. Footie journos are so full of shit, lolol.

Far far too slow to be an AMF anymore.

Barkley. I think.

I drink kaffe, a lot, I am half Swedish. We have some of the best micro roasters and wonderful cafes here. This is one of our favourites, Drop Coffee, and this is our favourite varietal of theirs atm. https://www.dropcoffee.com/products/san-cayetano-washed-red-caturra-el-salvador

Way before my time, but from all I have seen and his stats in a much more striker-hostile game, I would take peak Greaves over any other striker we have ever had, Drogba included. Shame he ended up playing so much for fucking Spuds.

I don't think most presenters grasp what Sarriball when fully executed aims to do in terms of play flow. I watched a tonne of Napoli games and their wingers were usually so one touch and then go go go. When they did dribble it was usually from a running start and they didnt mess around with leg whip-overs and flair attempts like Willian is prone to do after he comes to a grinding halt.

No. Not even close. Especially if Fabregas is sold, which he deffo needs to be, he is spent, not capable of playing to high level in role he needs to be. Let's look at what we would have if Kovacic is pulled back, and not replaced, and no others are brought in: You have ONE DH DMF , Jorginho, with ZERO legit back-up in what is arguably the most important position on the field in Sariball. You have a quite possibly completely maladjusted Kante as your B to B runner CMF hybrid with ZERO backup or competition (he is not adapting well atm IMHO) And you have 3 AMF's Barkley RLC, who I rate but many do not. and a teenager, Mount, with no big league experience playing for a manager who is so far pretty much refusing to play youth. Donkeyoko and Drinkwater are SHIT and need to be sold like yesterday. So, no, not remotely good enough, not even if we keep Kovavcic. We need a true backup DH DMF. Sarri knows which one, and I agree 100000% (ironically he is a teen, lolol) Sandro Tonalli, who has Pirlo 2.0 screaming from his pores. Btw, I already listed prettt muchevery possible AND acceptable Kovacic replacement here http://forum.talkchelsea.net/topic/26645-17-mateo-kovacic/?do=findComment&comment=1376358

Man mark Alonso from behind with a box of Swan Vestas, constantly lighting one up and holding it to his arse to make him speed up beyond his usually pony trot.

He was superb against Burnley, I let my guard down, got my hopes up, as he was, tonight, also in his LW role that is his true position so did my wife, even more than me and he was SHIT again same turd, new side we slows us down so so badly and is a horrid ball hog he didn't hardly do it v Burnley tonight same old same old

thats mainly what I wanted, with some cameos in EPL games NONE of it has happened, except for that 30 minute mini shift v BATE He may not renew, then either we sell him for shit or let him walk on a free that my main concern with his lack of playing time plus, to start a hack converted wing like Moses over him is a slap in the face, as was tonight, starting a MF over him we could have used CHO's pace and dynamism Willian was horrid, as usual, and this time ON HIS GOOD SIDE, LW, FFS I am just reallllly sick of seeing Willian's mug on the pitch for us, same for Cesc and surely for Cahill as well They offer next to nothing almost every game, and they fucking both bore and piss me off, a bad combo CHO is the opposite Also, I am just overall REALLY sick of hearing the same fucking old, tired excuses about us not selling all these cunts we have its the same thing every fucking year ever since the WILFULLY stupid, arrogant, idotic, foolish bollocks move that was the Drinkwater buy, and then the failure to sell off deadwood this summer, I am at wits end with our divvy, fucked up board

He was a far better player pre Roma injury, he has most definitely lost a step and is less explosive, and I did not want him here, as I had suspicion he would be like Zouma, perma damaged, as they had similar knee injuries. I was ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the way in for Alex Sandro back then. I was just sickened that we never got him after 3, 4 tries. The other one that just hurt so much on the multiple fail ront was Nainggolan, and also Koulibaly. Those 3, plus KdB sale are the worst memories I have of the last 5 years in market, plus the Drinkwater buy. Bakayoko (even though I so so wanted Bernardo more) I was actually bit excited about. as I thought we would also get Thomas Lemar as well, as that was what Baka was saying (Agent Baka, lol) I still cannot believe he is such a poor player, he truly looked the dog bollocks (and against some great teams) at Monaco

and except for almost no goals if you pull Barks and RLC to the bench.. We simply have to get goals from our MF, as we are so crippled at 2 of our 3 front positions. I just do not see it working out for Kante, UNLESS we went to that other formation OR we buy Icardi or Dybala (or some other monster goal scoring CF) AND keep Hazard and get a monster RW. Get those 2 pieces to the puzzle the pressure is off the MF. Our board is probably not going to do it. I think we sit pat this January, even on a new striker, unless we can get some sort of serious price break from someone . Maybe, MAYBE, if we are lucky we nip Suso from AC Milan for RW (which would help a shit tonne), but I think we trod on with Willian and Pedro and leave it to Sarri to will goals out of Morata and Giroud. I honestly think the board thinks that all our starters are basically in the area of being so good we cant improve on them, including Morata. Certainly they look at shit Willian, dodgy defending Luiz, slow as fuck Alonso, and no-go for offo Azpi as being top 2 or 3 in their positions in the world. Sarri does too, for Alonso at least. The board refuses to sell deadwood, yet also refuse to admit mistakes and to buy better players, PLUS are paralysed with fear or wilful ignorance about Hazard potentially leaving. Same for CHO (and THAT is REALLY on Sarri). I will never forgive him if CHO leaves and then goes Sancho-Nova at another club. We are running on an incredibly string of luck all year so far. That shit is bound to end, and when it does, the train wreck may be worse than the normalcy bias crew can wrap their heads around.

If we get Kovacic on a perm basis, dont see the reason for getting him either, unless we sell Kante too. Obviousy Drinkwater, Moses, Bakadonkeyoko and Cesc need to go too, so Ramsey would be more than likely Kova's backup in the role Kante now fills (and isnt doing a good enough job).

His greatest moment as manager Chelsea - Liverpool. FA Cup-1977/78 (4-2) Victimpool were reigning European champions

Kante cannot be the DL PM DMF, you are correct, but that's not where the issue is. Kovacic would be the superior player IMHO where Kante is now, with Barkley or RLC playing the AMF role. The strongest possible team we can put out now IMHO is GK Kepa CB Rudiger CB Amapdu (when healthy, otherwise have to suffer with Luiz, who was exposed again tonight multiple times) LB Alonso (because Emerson is just not good enough and this is also why, due to Alonso's lack of pace we need Ampadu in as the other CB as Luiz is no longer that fast) RB Azpi DHDMF Jorginho CMF Hybrid B to B Kovacic AMF Barkley LW Hazard RW Pedro CF Giroud the best way to fit Kante in is to do to a back 3 (Azpi, Ampadu, Rudiger, with Amps in the middle) then Kante as a floating destroyer BUT still keep the 3 man MF in same roles and same 3 at the front 3-1-3-3 with the 1 being Kante flying like a wasp on turbo all over the back third Kante and the CB's still immediately get the ball to Jorginho to put Sarriball offence in motion Kante floats and wins balls back and helps support the back 3 no fullbacks are needed, and Azpi is a great CB, so BYE BYE turtle Alonso (unless you want to give him a shot at striker, lolol)

Ridiculous CHO has 1 game, 30 minutes ALL YEAR so far! Teenagers starting or getting significant minutes at big or pretty big clubs (some are simply so good now that I list them even though not at a huge club, as they would still be getting big minutes at a bigger club) GK Gianluigi Donnarumma AC Milan (for years now) GK Alban Lafont Fiorentina (for 4 years now) CB Boubacar Kamara at Marseilles CB Matthijs de Ligt at Ajax multi year starter as a teen, WC, top 10 CB already CB/DMF Declan Rice at West Ham CB Malang Sarr Nice (for years now) CB Ibrahima Konaté RB Leipzig CB Dan-Axel Zagadou at Dortmund RB Trent Alexander-Arnold Victimpool (just turned 20, but started as teenager) RB Achraf Hakimi at Dortmund (best under 20yo RB in world, has exploded this year) RB Diogo Dalot at Manure (started 2 of his 5 games as well, and would have more, but he was injured for first 2 months) DMF Arne Maier Hertha Berlin (tonnes of starts) DMF Dennis Geiger at Hoffenheim (31 starts, including CL) CMF Houssem Aouar at Lyon (close to WC already) CMF Amadou Haidara at RB Salzburg (deep run in EL as a teen) CMF Christopher Nkunku at PSG over 60 games as a teen, over 20 as a starter AT PSG CMF Phil Foden at Shitty CMF Mattéo Guendouzi at Arse CMF Tom Davies at Everton CMF Weston McKennie at Schalke, started on a team that captured a CL place CMF Fran Beltrán at Celta Vigo RMF Abdülkadir Ömür at our new sister club Trabzonspor (he was a starter at 17) LMF/LW/LB Ryan Sessegnon at Fullham AMF Nicolò Zaniolo at Roma AMF/SS João Félix at Benfica LW Jadon Sancho at Borrusia Dortmund turned 18 a few months back, already starting and one of hottest players in world football LW Rodrygo at Real Madrid (in January) £41m for a 17yo LW Vinícius Júnior at Real Madrid £42m for a 18yo 7 games, 2 starts 4 goals, 2 assists LW Paulinho at Bayer Leverkusen £23m for a 17yo 7 games 3 starts LW Justin Kluivert at Roma multiple starts as 19yo LW Willem Geubbels at Monaco (started a game as a 17yo, injured now, back soon) LW Alphonso Davies at Vancouver (full time starter at 17) LW Jacob Bruun Larsen at Borrussia Dortmund 20 games, 10 goals 6 assists as a teen part-time starter LW Ismaïla Sarr at Stade Rennais in Ligue 1 27 games, 5 goals, 9 assists as part time teen starter RW Kylian Mbappé PSG RW Moussa Diaby PSG BEHIND MBAPPE but STILL 8 games , including 2 starts 2 goals 3 assists as a teen RW Christian Pulisic at Borrussia Dortmund full-time starter as a teen for a team sitting on top in the Bundesliga RW Reiss Nelson at Hoffenheim part-time starts as a teen for a CL club RW Ferrán Torres at Valencia 18yo 6 games already including 2 starts, one of them La Liga RW Yann Karamoh at Inter had 18 games including multiple starts as a teen, played 35 games the year before as a part-time starter (in Ligue 1) at 17 and 18yo CF Luka Jovic at Eintracht Frankfurt part-time starter as a teen CF Patrick Cutrone at AC Milan part-time starter as a teen CF Myziane Maolida at Nice, teenage starter CF Matheus Cunha at RB Leipzig, teenage starter CF Timothy Weah at PSG, 18yo, 3 games 1 start, 2 goals CF Moussa Sylla at Monaco, part time starter since 17 CF Jann-Fiete Arp at Hamburg part-time starter since 17 CF Moise Kean at Juventus, dozens of games as a teen there and on loan to Serie A Hellas Verona CF Pietro Pellegri at Monaco part time starter at Genoa since 15, now at Monaco as a 17yo

To replace Neymar, who is Real bound (or maybe back to Barca) Jesus Christ, they go from strength to strength. I am sure they go after Dybala or Icardi or both too with the Neymar quid. SMS is in the mix too, along with Neves and Frenkie de Jong. Maybe even take a stab at de Ligt at CB (they would sell Marquinhos or more likely Presnel Kimpembe plus Draxler and ageing Cavani). Talk about buying a CL!!!

Tweeks yes, at times BUT We just flat out need better, younger players NO CHANCE we roll forward over next 2,3 years as a top 10, let alone top 5 club in world with: Luiz (and other than Ampadu, bad backups backup to Rudiger) Azpi (sorry he just isnt a Sarriball RB atm, he simply has to turn it around) Zappacosta is just not good enough Current backup options at DH DMF (buy Tonali!!!) as Jorginho cannot play every minute of every game and Cesc is a spent force Alonso (Sarri is insane to call him on verge of being best LB in world) Emerson doesn't look like the answer either CMF/B to B hybrid options if we lose Kovacic (as a non-adapting, out of position Kante is looking more and more like not the answer) Current options at AMF if Barkley is injured Willian RW (shambolic!!!) Pedro is soon simply too old and frail LW could be a true nightmare soon, if both Eden and CHO walk Centre Forward (worse shape than RW!) and finally truly massive amount of deadwood on the books, draining us badly and losing value daily

and Patrick Kluivert wasn't even listed, lolol

Aaron Wan-Bissaka v Alonso super worries me. He has insane pace.
