I dont want to say that he is great or not, but I would never rate the players from their national team performances. There were so many players that exploded at world cups, euros, copas,...and then failed completely. For me its all about club football and their performances there. Have a strong season or two and then you can evaluate them.

Why does it matter? We still spent 600m and for that money you get couple world class players. If you look at our squad, its piss poor in most areas.

Neymar is always injured in key times, so they benefit alot if they keep Dembele healthy. Umiti is also great long term solution for Silva replacmement. Add 100m to that and it looks smart long term deal for them. They can spend it on striker. However marquee departures like Neymar can lead to other key players wanting to leave too; like Mbappe.

Petr: "....that is why player A would be great addition for our club. " Marina: "ok Petr, we will buy player B. " Anyway welcome back legend

Its either this or he is a coward. He literaly said he wanted to go back to his people, which is the same thing Courtois talked about. And then he says Hazard was great and we are quality, but Juve is on whole new level and too good opportunity to pass. Its funny how you defend him when he literaly shown chelsea the middle finger and left. Sure it makes the perfect sense to go for bigger contract in your country. But you got to finish this job. I wonder if we signed a player last year and he would want to leave after one year because someone would offer better contract and we had ban, so he would think of where he has a better project and decide to leave. Youd probably think of him the worst.

I cant agree here. Yes when we played well, it was better. For example the final arsenal game or start of the season. It was great. But thats about 10% of games. The rest was dogshit boring side passing with no creativity, no shots, no plan B, same subs and tactics all over. I never ever stopped watching Chelsea games before even if we were losing badly or played boring. But last season there were games where I actualy fell asleep or went doing something else. Why? Because neighbours dog could tell you we aint turning it around or scoring. And we actualy didnt.

He coached napoli only and won absolute fuck all, yet he thinks he is bigger than Chels all of a sudden. One ban, some boos and he decides to return to italy for easier challenge. No fucking wonder he cant motivate for shit with that sort of attitude.

Why did he play in midfield for USA?

Cant believe how people respect this guy and at same time shit on lets say Courtois. Both are in the same bracket. He just fucked off because he got better offer and fancier players over there. Already stating he is now in much bigger club and shit. All this homesickness is one bs too. He just went for Juve because he will have easier work there with better players. I understand his motives, but the dude is like one of those pricky big ego players that ditch the club the moment something goes wrong. I have never seen a top manager pull that shit. He came here for 3 years, got support from board and then decides to ditch the ship after one season. Was he offended that fans booed him? Well no fucking wonder if he played most boring football I have ever seen. Even Mou at his worst was more entertaining. And dont get me even start with 3rd place because that was the biggest fluke ever. Other teams dropping even more points than us. He does deserve the EL title though, but thats EL. I hope we meet them in CL and Jorginho scores winning goal. That would teach this ungrateful fucker a lesson.

Also his mom had to take for 8 kids after father died. Nothing but good wishes for all of them.

Its not a typical Chelsea season if we find a replacement before selling. So expect a couple managerless weeks before Marina returns from holidays.

They honestly got 10 times better deal than they would if they got Jorginho last year. Rodri is younger, way more capable physicaly and distributes the ball realy well which will further develop under Pep. Now that we dont have Sarri anymore, Id take Rodri over Jorginho any day of the week, mostly because he offers defensive stability. Hopefuly Jorginho continues his forum from end of the season, but he will never be that imposing midfielder that you need.

Dont go to fucking spuds man

I think we should go for Ser Davos. He would make our opponents cry.

Yesterday: Derby wont stay in the way between Frank and Chelsea. Today: Derby wants to offer Frank a new contract to keep him there.

Thats not what I wanted to say. We will have hard time next season against west ham and top4 anyway, playing pragmatic style or going out with youth. Playing the likes of Willian and next summer, we are back to square one. If we qualify for CL somehow the board will think current squad is good enough and we are in for another shitstorm without any ambition. Thing is working on youth will give us better foundations for season after the next. The only important thing next season is to continue playing modern football and develop young players. That will be our future. Forget the top 4, forget the CL. We need to focus on style and youth. So that we can build on that next summer, bringing whoever needs to be brought to begin completing us. Thats another reason to stick with same manager who will know what we are missing and what we have instead of wasting another year. Maybe not everyone will be world class, but good enough potential to eventualy build a title winning team with the likes of Odoi, Ruben, Christensen/Zouma, James, Pulisic and wild cards like Mount, Tomori and Tammy. If we can pull it off, I couldnt care less about results next season because this is project is about our next 5 years, not next season.

Fornals to West ham confirmed and Maxi Gomez soon to join them.

Also if we try the pragmatic; experienced players grinding results, we are definately fucked. West ham has Anderson and now Fornals, soon Maxi Gomez too apparently. Fucking west ham has better experienced attack if you go that way. Invest in youth period. We had several seasons of shit buys, hundreds of millions spent that got us nowhere. Fricking Willian, Pedro and Giroud wont do it either. Its time for complete overhaul and if there was a time, its now.

Avb failed because he tried to overthrown entire old guard Terry, Lamps, Didi,...the current lot of older players cant lace their boots and cant dethrone the manager like that. Im pretty sure more or less all good players at Chelsea loved it when Alonso, Willian, Pedro, Kovacic were dumped for RLC, Emerson and Odoi. They simply are not good enough anymore and dont have any sort of leadership in them. And I do count Odoi, RLC, James, Pulisic and either Christensen or Zouma (depending on style) very promising. Maybe not world class, but like I said possibly very good. I gave plenty critics about Christensen or Pulisic, but they still have potential if developed properly. But like you said it all comes down to the board. If they gonna sack just based on results regardless of younger players development, its game over. They need to put faith into Jardim, Hag or Lamps for 2 seasons at least and see how far they bring our youth.

We are crap anyway you look. CL and title are way off. So at least we can make the most of it and develop youth. I rather see some future planning and then rip the rewards compared to grinding top 4 year after year with zero optimism.

The experienced divas that we have (I guess you mean Willian, Pedro,...) can all leave next season. They shouldnt be priority in coaching. We need a manager that will make the most of youth. We have at least 5 young players that could be world class or at least very good. And they could be here for a long time. As for attacking football, I agree with you; I meant fast Pool styled football, not possession based one. Still Ten Hag can implement that; or Jardim. Allegri is pragmatic and would be parking the bus every second game because of the squad we have. And he isnt even that good that would bring confidence we can end up in 4th place. Amyway Allegri is off the table, we will likely land Lamps. He will absolutely flop if he isnt given trust and time.

Selling Hazard for up to 130m earned her a long vacations too.

Sorry mate but thats like short term thinking again. Allegri comes, brings us back to 4th and sure we have CL and we can buy next season, but if you say defensive stability, you can forget on youth. James, CHO will be sacrificed for more proven players. And secondly, Conte didnt get the support in second season and he was also read by other teams. The defensive approach is ancient. We obviously have to move forward if we want to get somewhere. Under Allegri, we might finish 4th, but zero future perspective. With Ten Hag, we will likely suck next year (like Pool did in the start), but our foundations would be set. Anyway, our board doesnt support anyone, so whoever comes will get the boot soon while Marina receives a bonus paycheck for well balanced books.

I know its not directed at me, but thats hardly comparable. Relationship is love and all that shit, this is business. You dont pay your girl to be with you. It would be weird if ex got with someone else just few weeks after 7 years together. Eden kissing the badge is nothing because he always said thats his dream. I mean we all know Eden isnt loyal to us anymore or true blue. That was obvious the moment he signed for Real instead of extending with Chelsea. But people realise that just now when he is kissing the badge? Regardless, that doesnt change his legacy here and sort of legendary status. He is always welcome back eventualy.
