I think they are trying to sell to buy Pogba?

Marcelo Bielsa appointed Lazio's new manager http://www.espnfc.us/lazio/story/2908379/marcelo-bielsa-appointed-lazios-new-manager I'm disappointed, he should have been at the PL. With the money a small team is getting he could have build a great side. Anyhow expect some good players to come out of there as he has done in all the team he's been.

Maybe we are waiting to see at what price they are willing to do business before we go in like Michy?

How much is Stones going for? I would buy him for 40 mill if we can get 3 to 5 good years from him. If he can go to the age of Terry, Maldini and the like that would be a good return.

Said it before I think the guy is slow for our counter attack. But I seen that Conte is able to bring back players from the dead zone. And that's what Axel has been for the past few years at Russia. If this is Conte desire then so be it. And besides can't be any worse then Mikel?

Getting a striker is a step in the right direction. But will wait till the transfer window is over before setting my expectations for the new season.

From reading and listening a few things he definitely lost it. In fact he seems desperate now, the whole list of youth reeks of desperation. Like I said it's not pep who I expect to take the limelight but it will be managers like Conte, klopp, pochetino and such.

And you still have not learned the story about Atletico. Just because United has all the money does not means they will blow everyone away. Especially when the smaller team get more money then Atletico in the PL.

I think you should look at your post the past few years and see how you always are so pessimist. I remember you banging so much about city the past few years and all this and that. Now you changed your tune to United. You will be wrong once again because you have not learned the story about Leicester, Atletico, Dortmund, Juventus and such. While everyone is banging about Pep and Mourinho I fully expect Conte, Klopp and maybe Pochettino to slide under the headlines.

He's getting like Benitez with his facts..... Yeah this is what I said before, Mourinho is just going downhill now like many of the great in the past. I do expect Pep to be the same, while everyone is going about the drama about Manchester I fully expect the party will be somewhere else. Klopp, Conte and Pochetinno are the managers of today and unless Simeone comes to the PL I think one of them will be dominating this league in the foreseeable future.

Only sell if they give us Bonnuci. No doubt we will have to pay but that's how it should be. You want Matic, let us get Bonnucci and we give you money as well.

Every season he is linked to a Turkish club and nothing happens.

Italy's Antonio Conte on brink of new tactical era, Germany stand in his way http://www.espnfc.us/european-championship/74/blog/post/2905159/italys-antonio-conte-on-brink-of-new-tactical-era-but-germany-stand-in-his-path-at-euro-2016

Between him and lukaku giving the price we made the right choice. Lukaku is too expensive and does not work well with link up plays.

Too little money for him. Accept only if we get that plus a player.

Just waiting for city, United, real, psg and such to jump in at this rate...

I think I read somewhere that he wants to keep Costa but he wants to leave. Can't keep a player that does not want to be here.

Don't know if to trust it as Dailymail reporting Tottenham....

Just like Mourinho was over a decade ago. Now he is just a shadow, but this happens to mostly every manager I know. Fabio Capello, Arrigo Sacchi, Wenger (Did great over a decade ago), Benitez (Did great at Valencia many years ago) etc etc. The only exception has been SAF, and I think the problem here is that everyone thinks that because SAF did it anyone can do it. Wrong, if we look at the trend most managers have a shelve life that of players. We should not get enamored by anyone for the sake of stability. If we can get 3 good years out of him that should be fine. Look at how City has been doing. 3 years with Mancini, next by Pelle, next by Pep. 3 to 5 years should be the max unless he is the exception like SAF.

Paris Saint-Germain appoint Unai Emery as new coach http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11820/10327496/paris-saint-germain-appoint-unai-emery-as-new-coach

If we get this kind of Conte at Chelsea then we should be back in top 4 next season without a doubt. This will also make the league harder, as you assume City with Pep, United with Mourinho, Liverpool with Klopp and us with Conte would be quality. Not forgetting all the other teams with good managers....wonder if Arsenal will be left behind this season because of Wenger or will make it like always.... I still wish we had one more crazy manager in Bielsa at some team in the EPL. And then we will be complete and ready to kill ourselves.

Jorge Sampaoli appointed Sevilla manager on two-year deal https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/jun/28/jorge-sampaoli-appointed-manager-sevilla

He seems slow to me. Especially for fast counter attack approach if we will do that at times.

This is why if they get eliminate by Germany (which is more then likely) it would not be that bad. Spain has been in decline and not as good as currently France or Germany right now. I will be surprised if another team not these two win this cup. But if Italy does goes all the way and surprised I think you can take a positive out of it. The positive is that the Italian players will be impressed by Conte that one or two might decide to follow him to Chelsea, like a certain Bonucci....
