Arsenal confident of signing Granit Xhaka from Gladbach - sources http://www.espnfc.us/story/2854635/arsenal-confident-of-signing-granit-xhaka-sources Shouldn't we also be going for Xhaka? Since we need midfield.

I would still buy him.

At this moment after all the screw up from our previous manager I could care less if City become amazing. As long it ain't Liverpool, Arsenal and United I'm happy. Any other team that wins besides these 3 I'm relieved.

Pretty much this. Cause no one sold as much players as Mourinho did. He got a lot of support from the club in his decision. But it's always easy to blame the board. I'm right with Tomo and that if we do our business right this summer we will be right back in it next season. But Conte must not neglect the youth like Mourinho did. Nor treat them as he did....err he only needed 10 minutes to made up his mind. Absurdity to the highest level!

"Sources said"

I'm assuming your referring to players that was disposed by Mourinho. Because apart from that no manager has done this like with Mourinho.

That would be cool if he goes to PSG. He can solely focus on the CL and hopefully win it.

Yes this is what I mentioned at the beginning of the season. That I didn't care about buying players in the summer just as long as we take a gamble on youth. Mourinho hardly ever did. He just threaten the senior team but everything went South because he failed to integrate youth... That was the gamble we took this summer in not buying much. But the club is stupid for hiring Mourinho a manager that can't do much for youth and now I don't know if conte will be much of the same. If you wanted youth then you should have gone for Bielsa. In the last two teams he pushed the players and youth to the next level. Why do you think bilbao and Marseille had good players these past few years? Bielsa would have been it for our youth, to revolutionize and gamble like only a mad Men will do. But no we just go for a named manager and that's that. With no idea of philosophy to implement and what route to take.

The only team I dislike a lot is Liverpool. Did enjoyed that season of Gerrard slip. Even though I talk some trash about Mourinho the past few weeks I have to give it to him. That was one of the best thing he did for me, make that whole stadium cry. ?

This is why I wanted Bielsa for the interim because he would have done it. When everything is lost you need a mad man to shake things up. Hiddink did nothing of that sort. What a wasted opportunity.

We will go the way of Liverpool if we buy players like this.

Use the opportunity to buy some of those young players from Untied. Since no doubt Mourinho will once again fail to have patience with younger players as he is in a bigger pressure to do well.

In February 1945, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was in Egypt and wanted to discuss with the Saudi King ibn Saud a definitive and lasting settlement between Arabs and Jews . Churchill was told that the King would not allow drinking or smoking in his presence. Churchill recorded: "I was the host and I said that if it was his religion that made him say such things, my religion prescribed as an absolute sacred ritual smoking cigars and drinking alcohol before, after, and if need be, during, all meals and the intervals between. Complete surrender." Churchill by Himself, p353.

We have too many players on loan. Bring some back. We already screw up by selling KDB and Lukaku. Lets give a chance to some of those on loan.

Hazard was bought by the board. Other then that everyone else was one a season wonder with the exception of Costa. That was great buy. A lot of mediocre buys and sold a lot of of our younger talents. Yeah mess up.

It's called buying one season wonder. Sacrifice the future for short term glory. We filled our squad with one season wonder. The only good buy was Costa, despite not being up to par this season he got Talent. Most players we bought with Mourinho are too soft or one season wonder.

They was doing a great job before Mourinho came He screwed up everything. Now the club can go back to the business they was doing before.

Meh this is good it happened so that the club will get busy in the summer.

Yes but he didn't prepared for the future. Sold a lot of our young players for older ones that was only good for a season. That's thinking short term and not the future of the club.

Sold Mata, and kdb in January and what he got us? Where's matic? Salah?

That Roman texting was funny. Wondering what he was texting?

I just get more mad at Mourinho for leaving us in this state.

I remember he had the class when he was at Bremen and that's why most of us got excited. But Mourinho happen and no point in talking about that anymore. We now know he is not good for youth.

True I remember. But now we realize that he is not good for youth. We gave him the benefit of the doubt. The club is going a different direction, is not like the first time he was here. Oh well let's hope the next manager can work well with us and don't lose the team.

Nathan Aké on Watford, Mourinho and the Chelsea loanees’ WhatsApp group “I asked the manager what I could improve, if there were things I could adapt in my game,” he says. “But Mourinho said I was training well and performing well in the games I played but that I had to wait for my chance. And I could understand it, as there were so many big players at the club.” http://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/apr/15/nathan-ake-watford-jose-mourinho-chelsea
