Well ... that's not surprising .... however letting him go would be a big surprise and a shock!!!

Nopes!!! We wouldnt see anything until Conte comes in ... which is before the Pre-season begins. Relax and enjoy the Euros

... Well then we will get someone else ... Simple!!!

It is gonna be United ... But yes, if anywhere other than United ... there would be a freaking meltdown. I would love to see him at Chelsea (though i know it is not happening) because he and Costa up front would mean that defenders r going to fly past ... Like Asterix & Obliex going past the Roman troops ... I know ... I know ... Wishful thinking

Well we also had the money and Jose last season (the rumors were that Juventus did agree on a fee but Pogba wasnt ready to move) ... But still werent able to get the Pogbas and Stones ... Yes he will surely get Ibra and Stones from the above list and will get more "superstar" to OT but for me that doesnt guarantees anything in this league ... City will spend, Liverpool so would we and Spurs.

I m guessing United has their Willian in place in Valencia.

I dont think he will fail ... in fact he will go on to win the title in his first year ... He knows the league too well when compared with Guardiolas and Contes ... Plus his ego to do better than Guardiola on his home turf is the biggest motivation, imagine he losing it to Pep in the first year ... Not happening!!! For me Kloop and Liverpool will his biggest threat this season based on how they do in the summer window. Spurs is the dark horse again based on the players they get. I agree that Conte job has become harder but I somehow have belief in him that he will come through ... ONLY if our board shows some patience rather than get into the Jose-Pep show.

Jose journey with United will pretty much be: Champions: 2016-17 ... FA Cup: 2017-18 ... United and Jose parting way by mutual consent in 2018-19 ...

You are right had it been anyone else but since this is Terry and the entire fiascio around it this for me is like the sign of re-building ... specially considering the lack of leadership we have in that dressing room ...

Great News!!! Step in the right direction. And the re-building begins ...

This!!! ... what we are seeing is Rock Bottom!!! Nothing is 100% in this world but logically we cannot be falling beyond this. And more importantly the board/owner/sponsors wouldnt let it happen because if we dont stay on the top we loss out on money ... not good!!! EVERYTHING is about Money, honey!!! Personally I feel Conte will do a much much better job (fingers crossed) with whatever team he gets ...

2 more matches to go for the horror show to end!!!

Enjoyed a Chelsea after long time ... the moment Rose made that tackle on Willian & the way he responded back, I told to myself we are no ways losing this game. Very Gritty performance in the second half and what a way to end Spurs title hopes ... Second half was pure entertainment!!!

It all comes down to the vision that your manager has ... If he is someone who see youth as an integral part who can be developed, nursed and integrated into the first team then honestly we will not have to spend huge money on players for at a few years (I feel that even our board is more catered towards getting the youth into the 11) We have the some gems in the academy (Musonda, Boga, Abraham, etc), some other who can be brilliant squad players (Ake, RLC, Baker, Swift, Christsen, etc) plus add to the fact that we got some good experience players in the squad already so we dont have only youth players in the team. If we have a manager like Jose or who is not really into the entire process of investing time in the youth then even if you have 11 Messis and Ronaldos in your U-19s/U-21s they will never make it to the other side ... On a personal level, I do think we have a very strong foundation in the kids ... All comes down how well is their transition from being the talent, the potential into the play makers and winners for the club.

Mate, the question was directed at him not U ...

It is really fun to watch Arsenal Fan TV when they Draw or Lose ... Pure entertainment!!!

I thought the first 20 mins were really really good ... Was kind of glued to the screen, we played with a purpose ... Not sure where that purpose went missing after the first 20 ...

Havent Cuadrado play much for the other teams ... But if he is quick (which he is), great work rate, has good crossing and doesnt like holding on to the ball much than for me he will surely have the edge over Willian on the right. Has to be starter.

Perfecto!!!! Desire is right now the Keyword that differentiates the 3 ...

For some reason, the media (including Jose himself) has always said that Jose didnt wanted a X player to leave but we still have the likes of Bruyne, Mata, Cech, Schrulle, Lukaku, Filipe Luís, Lampard, Cuadrado, Salah all leave under his tenure ... (I know we all have different opinions on the reasons why they left but they are doing decently well) ... However with all this quote that Jose says about how he wanted a player to stay remains me of Wenger who keeps saying how they scouted pretty much ALL the world class players in football and yet didnt sign any ...

From the looks of it, it seems Conte has already told who are staying and who are not ... It was that kind of performance ..

There is something called "Inserting Confidence" into the young guns ... De Bruyne could have easily ended up at Dortmand in the summer but stayed because Jose promised him a fair trail ... And as far as I re-collect he did stay put at Chelsea for half a season awaiting for an opportunity ... When nothing comes your way, what are u going do ... just sit there and waste your talent. He was never getting a start under Jose for sure. Lukaku for me is the smart one ... He believed in Jose for 2 months but as soon as E'to came in, he took off. Should these guys stayed back and fought for a chance, probably yes but we arent living in the olden days where the impact of agents and money was not so high as it is now. If you have the talent... your agent can always sell you as the next best thing and you will always have a club ready to pick up (for the players between 19 yrs- 22yrs) ... In their cases, they did make a mark while on loan ... At the end of the day, It's our mistake that we dont want to breed players and transform them into world class players ... Stating that a player didnt want to fight for his place when the manager is showing no confidence is actually the easiest thing to say for us.

Real good choice by the board ... After a long time we will have a manager who is not coming in as mere replacement for a short term, not in for damage control, not in to fill gaps but a selection which is given a real thought. What he's gonna get in terms for budget for transfers can be speculated until the transfer window is not over. It a very good choice ... hoping that he is able to get back the glory days back .... Welcome Conte!!!

Hope everyone here along with their near and dear ones are safe and sound. Hope the issue returns to normalcy real soon.

Only positive for me was that there was lot of heart in our performance, more urgency, more passion ... Fab was the surprise package of the day (wished we would have shown the same from the start) ... otherwise same old same old. Guess just waiting for the season to end thats all is left ...
