I'm glad you consider an overhyped player who has done nothing for us more important than the man who guided us to a title with a squad that shouldn't have even made top 4. Christensen truly is bigger than the club with the number of amazing performances he has put up for us and the trophies he has helped us win.
Felt he did fine considering the circumstanes (1 man down with limited touches and chances). The penalty wasn't the best, true, but don't judge a player by his penalties. Lack of overall quality let us down today and it's the board's fault.
His partnership with Kante in their title-winning season was very decent, can't see a reason why they can't replicate or elevate that being surrounded by better players. Having only 4 midfielders though you have to imagine that the 4th choice CM will see a lot of action during the season, possibly also in CL crunch games. Is he that guy for us?
£40m for him must be a joke, it must. More than that, he is not Chelsea quality and shouldn't even be on any shortlist. Pathetic if we sign him for that money, would be absolutely p-a-t-h-e-t-i-c.
Not what I was getting at. If we hijack or even try to do it to one of their targets, then they might simply refuse to do any business with us now and in the future.
Think that one of them is Candreva, Conte wants him and not expensive so a fairly straightforward deal for the club. Have no idea who the other one or two might be, no strong links to anyone tbh. Hope to fuck it's Sandro, or any LWB.
Hopefully the sell of Matic gives the necessary financial boost for the board to start jumping over their own shadows and work some miracles in the market, pronto.
Agreed. This squad in its current shape will struggle to finish in top 4 and do anything meaningful in CL. I am also worried about the negative vibes coming out from our camp, according to reports Conte is getting increasingly frustrated and that is evident from his out-of-character outbursts, he isn't acting like the man from last season.
