Vesper

It does sound quite Mourinho-like. I am not a fan of using players' emotional states as rational for on field performances.

Around £115m. We turned down £65m for Willian and I believe fully we could have gotten around £45-50m for Alonso. Madness we didn't dump them and Luiz (turned down £30m for PSG). That's £145m total. Malcom went for only £37m to Barca, after we told them to piss off on Willian. CB Thilo Kehrer (who is also a really good RB) went for only £33m to PSG after we told them no on Luiz. Thats only £70m for two very young, talented upgrades. That leaves £75m to go after Lucas Hernandez who is a WC LB AND can also play CB to a high level. Even if he cost £85m to prise him away from AM, that whole deal would have massively improved the team, dramatically made us younger, far more athletic, and improved depth as 2 of those players can play all 4 back four positions. All for zero net cost or only £10m. Fuck the board. With a rusty shovel.

It will not help us this season but the best approach to getting top class players in January is to buy them now, and loan them back to the old club until summer.

I totally agree but I have zero faith in the board to be able to pull it off in the compressed time frame. They have foot-dragged for years. Don't see it all changing now in one month.

I would assume sometime after the winter window shuts. I think Hazard is gone regardless, especially if we don't splash truly massive cash in January. The team is fundamentally flawed at so many positions, especially if we are going to play Sarriball. The board is only making matters worse by bollocksing up sales renewing players who are not to level, and making horrific buying decisions (and lack thereof in terms of other players). This is not me panicking after the yids games and now this horrific outcome v Wolves. I have been steadfast in my warnings and extremely detailed in my SWOT analyses long before I joined this board. I use this Bajan expression often: Hard ears dun hear, hard ears gun feel. Sarri will soon learn the truth of that.

Yep Alonso Luiz Willian Morata ALL need to go go go go go wretched players stealing a living

Nope, AC was decent tonight, Luiz is an asshat, he needs to be benched and sold. So do Alonso, Morata, and Willian. All four are UTTER shit.

If things go pear shaped, the next summer window we might see will be in June, 2021.

If he keeps trotting those out, and we crater, you are damn right I am calling for his head.

2004/5 team was best Mourinho team, best Chelsea team ever. Fucking Victimpool taking us out in CL was main thing that stopped it from being a top 10, top 15 in world history level team.

If he does, I will start calling for his sacking. Simple. He (if he keeps playing them) obviously is not the right manager for us.

I call Alonso La Tortuga (The Turtle) It is a fucking joke he is our starting LB Emerson needs to start until we buy a truly great young LB I would move Azpi to CB and start Zappacosta at RB as well I think we need to try Hazard at the Mertens role and put in CHO far more at LW, plus Pedro or even RLC at RW Barkley REALLY needs to come back healthy and start scoring from MF as well, or play him at RW and use RLC as AMF

And kiss Hazard and CHO goodbye and probably have a 2 year transfer ban. 5th might end up looking like a true prize come next year. It isn't like many of us haven't been warning of this for ages.

Those two need to go go go. Same for Luiz and Alonso. The rest are salvageable (at least in terms of getting us to 4th) IF Sarri starts playing the right combos. We desperately need to do mad business in January.

Kepa doesn't make mistakes every other game, that pure bollocks He and Rudiger have been our best two players all year, as Hazard has now went into a slump (partially due to the donkeys he is forced to play with) Pedro (when he plays) has been decent, and Jorginho (to a point) as well, but even he has been regressing lately. Playing Kante incorrectly is causing Jorginho to struggle as Jorgi is fairly weak defensively. We are in a clusterfuck atm.

A LOT of this is on the board and Roman too. A shit tonne.

Sarri keeps playing these same asshats he needs the sack! And FUCK our board if they dont drop at least 150m NET this January this team is on very of imploding for multiple years on multiple levels

damn Cesc should have scored, GRRRRRRRRRR

oh snap, Mancs just tied it up

FFS!! Arse just scored now too!!!!!!! disastrous NIGHT

Alonso once again BURNED like toast, only good thing is no goal came of it Sarri can FUCK OFF with his 'near best LB in Europe' BULLSHIT

Gibbs-White looked great, another 18yo given time and pounding on us CHO isnt even on the fucking bench!!!!

Victimpool just scorred 2 so now Up 1 2 spuds are destroying SOTO

Sarriball isnt working out with this lot we have and Roman wont invest in overhaul so down down we will go

NEVER EVER EVER
