Drinkwater isn't good enough to be playing at this level week in, week out. He isn't fit enough to lace Kante's boots.

You never know. If Sarri does come in, he might use Boga. He fits the mould similar to a few players at Napoli. That's if he wants to impliment that kind of team here. Small, agile and skillfull players with speed and good awareness. I hope he does.

Fred to Man United!

I think the jury is out on Bakayoko for 99% of the Chelsea fan base bar @bakayokofan xD

We can only hope that surely a billionaire Russian has seen the light.

It isn't that I'm against seeing Lewa in a Chelsea shirt. I love the way he plays football. He is the complete striker in every sense. I would just prefer us to find somebody slightly younger so that we can build a solid foundation. I don't want us to desperately look again in 2 years time. It would be better if we got this and other positions looked down and concentrated on the way we play football. We all talk about how we want to play vibrant, attacking, free flowing football but we simply do not have the squad to do it with. It doesn't happen over night either, especially with us. We have played defensive, counter attacking football for a looong time now. Also we will be building a new stadium soon so I would rather get somebody younger so that we don't have to worry about buying someone else with rations during that stadium build.

It's crazy to think this lad could be lost into the abyss of 'if only', whilst the board actually have the audacity to shell out 35million on Drinkwater.

This thread has turned weird!

👌🖒 I miss those days.

😂 I might have me a fisherfingerism sandwichism.

Niinii. He always announces 'exclusives' when in truth it is all speculation. In other words, he talks alot of shit.

Not a truer word spoken. It most certainly seems to me that our bunch of players dictate the fate of the current manager. It 100% happened with Mourinho in his second spell at the club and it is 70/30% that they are doing it now to Conte.

That's what gloves, scarf and a hat are for!!!!

Apparently they were moments away from making Arteta the new manager but had a last minute change of mind.

Can't see this one happening and if it does, I wouldn't be as happy as maybe I would have been if we had signed him 2 years ago. He is nearly 30 years old!!! We need a Jesus or a Griezmann.

Conte is a big character and has stood up to the egos. Look at what has happend between him and the dressing room. We need a coach with charisma who will come in and put an arm around the egos and bring inovative ideas to the training ground. This will command respect from the squad. A similar way to how Pep manages his sides.

I hope we don't touch Enrique with a barge pole. My gut instinct tells me he is't the man for the job. Sarri is my first choice simply because of the football he has had Napoli playing. If Jardim isn't an option then I would be content with getting Jakanovic. Whoever comes in will have to bring their A-game. Next season is a big season for us.

Whoever comes here is inevitably going to get the sack. Even if they win the CL they will get sacked. It is what it is. I'm starting to make my peace with it.

Not nessiccarily. It might be because Roman has had enough of employing the big names. He might want to take us in a new and fresh direction. Give somebody the opportunity to prove himself on the big stage.

I think you could be pleasantly surprised by Jakonovic. I watched an interview with him and he comes across as the sort of guy that commands respect. A mans man. Very cool individual.

I read somewhere that we need to sell a few in order to buy this summer.. sell Willian, Zappacosta, Morata, Drunkwater and maybe Bakayoko. I am actually willing to watch Bakayoko trip over his own feet for another season just for the comedy factor. Once we get some dosh for that lot, then we can finance maybe 2 top players. Dip in Romans funds and buy another 2. Promote Mount and Odoi. Good to go.

Sell him to United all day long. If we can get Martial in the deal, even better. Losing Willian will not be a problem whatsoever, especially if we bring in someone of real quality. We have to get his replacement bang on though. I'd even prefer Zaha to Willian.

What a muggy twat.

He is a brilliant character to have in the squad. The kind of player we will ear mark an era by and be sad to see him retire xD.
