I totally agree, the new manager effect tends to distort everything into contexture. The true measure of most managers comes at half season, where most of the sacking starts at a lot of the clubs. That's where the poor results start and the true identity of the players and managers begin to show. However as pointed out, for the stature of our club, managers should not be priority one. We can easily wing it with RDM one more season. What we need the most is a better squad. And giving that no matter who comes in, the club will continue to do it's business of getting the players they want. This is why I would not mind keeping RDM for another season, so we don't get another manager to take his time to "assess" the squad when we know what is needed. And I think RDM knows what we need as well. He should be in tune with the club by now!

Interesting indeed. I will take it as a good business by Chelsea if we actually get this guy, but at what price?

Dam you! lol. But on a serious note, is there a song that you play against the haters that are always hating for no dam reason at all? The only one I know is this one:

The difference is the PL experience that RDM got compare to AVB. The way he set up for certain games tells me that he knows what system to play against a particular opponent in the PL. To know the weakness and strength of a team, and how to play to their full potential is something that takes time to learn. It is why today my number one choice is Moyes. Now, If Chelsea give RDM the full job, I won't complaint. I take it as he has done good and at this moment the most important thing Chelsea needs is new players. Managers can wait a bit longer. So RDM can easily continue on the role he has. The real assess of his managerial career should be measure in the middle of the season where most managers seem to go down.....

I like how you come here and break all this with your analysis, but I also remember you had same analysis for AVB back at the beginning of the season......In fact the biggest hyper of the AVB reign Eldo, is no longer here to stick out his neck. So I won't buy your Moyes comparison to Sam and Roy. I still want Moyes!

http://www.videofy.me/v/453907 Arabs commentator are awesome. I wish I could understand their language as they are very passionate in the way they narrate. Not like the boring english commentators....

Like I said, there is no price good enough in the fair value category to to sell him. Which is why I want him to continue for a long time. But if some clubs wants to go mental and pay out big (which is way out of fair value), then you can't pass that up. I'm sure any player will also think about it, if they will receive big wages.

Ronalda for 80M????? You still sell if the offer is out of the world. Ivan value should be like that of what Real Madrid pay for Coentrao. If there was an inflated value past Coentrao you can't pass that up. And I think Cesar Azpilicueta can become better then Ivan. The one thing I admired from Ivan is his passion. That is priceless, and can't be bought.

Any player has it's sale value. Chelsea problem is we don't sell when we need to sell. That being said I don't want to sell Ivan, like I do with Cole. But if there was a big offer for Ivan I would really think about it.

Yeah dude is class. I would take him if we had the chance.

Proves that to have great players you don't need to spend millions. Just do some good scouting. Ivan is one of the rare Chelsea buys have done since Roman. If we did more like this our club will be break even by now! And now Ivan price has tripled, if any club wanted to buy they will need to pay big bucks!

So some Russian teams want Ivan???? 50+ mill and you can have him!

Great win. I will be the first one to praise Mikel quiet work in the mid. He stop a lot of plays. Other then that, I hope David Luiz is ok.

I don't understand why MOD don't do anything against these people. It is always the same people that curse at other users cause they got nothing left to say. I understand if it was a one time, but it's always the same!

It's funny reading comments from some of the Chelsea fans. They seem to be bipolar!

Better options out there for Chelsea for the amount of money they are quoting. Now if we buy him for less then what Mandril pay, then I say good business.

Sell Meireles and don't look back!

If this where true, I say Roman you will be a fool not to take such an offer! But I don't think it's true, so more Torres for us!

Hi, nice to see you here!

Sorry but I don't agree. Mikel has been like that for ages. He always promises every season and fails to deliver. I don't think he can improve much, plus i really dislike his slow nature. He is soooo slow in the midfield. We need more pace, faster passing and faster thinking people. It is why I want Javi Martinez. Sure Javi will cost a lot but if we are able to sell Mikel to Anzhi or such we will recover some of the money we spend on Javi. Cabye is a great choice, but if we can get Javi I will not pass that up. Plus as I stated he is like Ivan that can also play as CB, so that's the price of 2! And selling Essien we will need a replacement cause we will play with 2 pivots. So in a demanding season is best to have a cover for each role. 2 pivots then we need 4! Ramires, Javi, Romeu and Tiote are still my choice. Last agree with Josh, he still needs a couple of more seasons to be ready. Likewise Piazon, which I am not sure what role he plays.....

And how they know this? Did someone at the club said all this? Or they made it up as they always do?

Yeah he screw that up. Oh well at the moment I am happy with RDM. Hope he continues doing good, so the club give him a try. And hey, if after one season he turns out to be mediocre we will still have a descent squad! :blue scalf:

Juventus eye Chelsea midfielder http://www.talksport.co.uk/sports-news/football/premier-league/transfer-rumours/120327/juventus-eye-chelsea-midfielder-168043 I hope this is true, cause we need to sell him this summer. His place can be giving to Kakuta!

Your point is very acknowledged, but whatever tactic AVB was putting down it never worked because he never had the players behind his back. And we all might say how bad that is, but it's like that in every team. Recently Mourinho was acting out a fool in Madrid. And the spaniard players where not liking that, and some of his team selection. So a divide was starting to build up. Mourinho saw this, took some time of with the team to rebuild relationship. Mourinho realize that if he lost the players everything else will be useless. AVB failed in this, and his man management skills had been woeful....I still can't get over it how badly he treated Alex and Anelka.
