I realy want him to stay if that is possible, but if he decided to leave, he has to go. We dont need a player that doesnt want to be here anymore. Would ruin our season, his legacy here and he leaves on free next summer.

He definately doesnt give a shit on the pitch, so its hardly #1.

Moussa Dembele is wanted by United as Lukaku replacement. Dembele isnt top stiker yet, but if he continues to develop, he could be scary player.

He is repaying Sarri trust very nicely. Get fucking rid of this fat fuck.

Like MoroccanBlue said, Eden departure isnt realy the problem. The problem is that we have incompetent board. I dont believe they can bring proper replacements. As for being better as a unit after Eden leaves; how can you be sure? To do that, you need others to step up. Poo lost Coutinho and his departure unleashed full potential of Mane, Firmino and Salah. But those three have loads of quality. With that money, they also bought Alisson and Dijk. What do you think we can buy for 90m? The board will bring two more Drinkwaters in Higuain and Kovacic and thats it. I cant wait for a season of Willian and Pedro on the wings. We will look better as a unit my ass. I have some hope for Odoi, RLC who are both injured and just maybe the new boy Pulisic. But neither is nowhere near ready to take full responsibilty next season. Salah, Mane, Firmino were. If people didnt notice, we have gone downhill for a while. We didnt replace Terry. We didnt replace Cole. We didnt replace Costa. Every good player that we lose leaves Chelsea in worse state because our board cant replace them. Hazard leaving also shows plenty to where Chelsea is at the moment. Spuds, Arse, Liverpool couldnt keep hold of their best players. We are that level now. Chelsea was known for years not to let go of their players. We were competitive and we shown them their value. We are no longer competitive and clubs will soon see they can nick best players from us in the future. The other day when we played Poo, the fans were only worried about Eden. And no one else. Thats our reality mate. Eden is the last elite player we have, the last piece linking us to elite. Sure we will bounce back, but we have few years of mediocrity ahead. I dont believe current board will take us forward just like that as you say. Eden leaves and then we will magicaly have players turn up and play as a unit. Thats just a false hope. We had 7 years to build new guard with Eden and Costa and the board couldnt bring a single top player here. They were too busy with Drinkwaters and Barkleys. So yeah, we want Eden to stay because with him, we can at least say we are still a part of elite.

First time he mentioned Eden. When he had first interview, he talked about players he looks forward to play with and he didnt mention Eden at all. Probably the club told him not to bother with mentioning Eden because he wont be here next season.

He has been in english football for 15 years. He is very educated and smart person. Most importantly, he is (ex) football professional who spent majority of his career at Chelsea. He wont be here just to do business part and receive paycheck, but to make us competitve again. Sure he is no Kenyon with big contacts and experiences, but he is Chelsea blue and I'd prefer him over profit oriented business type Marina any day. Id say the more persons like Terry, Lamps, Cech, Ballack, Didi,...return to the club, the better. They will bring back the character to the club. Maybe once in the future, we will need a street wise, clever, experienced DoF, but right now our priority should be to make our board more sensible, which Cech is more than capable of doing. The amount of shit our board done and is still doing is unbelievable.

Despite we wanted to buy him last year for 60m which would turn into another board stupid mistake, we got saved by Real and they only loaned him. Our board was forced to see how average he is without actualy buying him. And yet they still want to buy him. This board is fucking pathetic. As long these idiots are in charge, I hope we get slapped with as many bans as possible. Better that way than watch Marina spend shitload on pisspoor players.

Whoever would buy Ndombele and Aouar would make deal of the century. Both are young, great together, massive potential and proven on top level (CL). I have too much sentiment for RLC and Kante to approve such deal, but if I look just from football perspective and just evaluate who would make us a world beater, both should be sold to give space for Aouar and Ndombele. Those two can make absolute world class midfield in few years. They do this kind of stuff every game

The one player we should be all over and would probably join, but no.

Id love Frank at one point, but its probably too soon. I dont want this turns into our Ole. If he qualifies with Derby, respect that and give him a chance to show his worth there. In a year or two if we still need a manager, bring him in if he does well in PL.

Ziyech is good player but he isnt young anymore and I dont feel he has mentality to be up there with the best. Reminds me of Depay as a character. Big fish in small pound. It could always work though. Football is unpredictable. Id personaly go for Neres. Younger, more pace and hard to be stopped without foul. He isnt buffed like Bergwijn, but if he can work on it, no problem. Bernardo Silva or Coutinho are tiny, yet they had no difficulty with PL after some adjustment. Neres works hard which is very important here.

He probably does. Thats why we look so shit after half time. Players having fucked up vision because of smoke after 15 mins sitting in that room If it doesnt bother players, who gives a fuck if he smokes. If it does, then it becomes a problem.

No one is questioning his methods because he smokes mate. Its just possible that players hate being around cigarettes. Because there are millions of people who hate that. One thing is to smoke. Sure enjoy yourself. But in a job place, every day, all the time? Id tell you to take that out. There is zero excuse cigarrets calm you and you have to smoke. I can say marihuana or playing a guitar calms me down. I wouldnt be playing a fucking guitar on every training because it would piss of others. Same is with cigarettes. We are in 2019, not 1976 when everyone smoked and drank and then played a match next morning. These are pro players, pro coaches and pro level football. You follow the rules. There is respect. You need to adapt to surroundings. If someone doesnt and thinks of himself only, he can fuck off. If it doesnt bother the players, go ahead. It doesnt affect the actual methods by Sarri. But if it does bother them, smoke one alone and then coach without that. Everyone makes compromises in life mate. I dont mind if people smoke in private life, but this is football institution. What will happen next, beer cans around Cobham?

No offence, but this is Premier league pro elite competition, not District finals. It shows bad public picture for one and its very possible players hate it too because they have to be around that smoke all the time. My mom is a smoker and I hate when she smokes around. I dont say shit because its her decision and I can always remove myself from that area. She doesnt smoke all the time either.

I hear he was very deadly finisher last season, good passer, tracks back. I liked him in CL this season. Compared to Berhwijn, he is more skilled, works harder and more of a team player. Bergwijn is very physical and more efficient though, might fit PL better. Neres is patient, possesion based player. He draws players on himself to release space for team mates. Bergwijn on the other hand is counter football winger. Dribbles directly at players, with bursts of pace, skill and strength. I hope my assessment was correct?

If he was that bad in possession, he would be complete liability in Juve and Real games. IMO he isnt best out there, but still very special player. He has technique and work rate that is crucial in PL.

He will go to Gold cup now and if Usa reaches final, that will be around 10th July. Then he needs two week break and we can expect him to join us in the end of july/start of august. That gives him, what 2 weeks of preseason with us. And hopefuly he doesnt get injured in gold cup. Just wonderful.

City hype train goes on only to be halted again next year in CL.

Completely agree but our team is hardly quick one touch football. It has more to do with mental approach, rather the technique itself. Our most technical player hold on the ball too long

There are rumours players are unhappy that he smokes all the time during sessions and that they start training after 3pm. Not just that, but apparently entire coaching staff is allowed to smoke and vape. Wtf. I have no idea if this is true or just bs, but I definately wouldnt take a manager that seriously if he smoked all the damn time. It sets a bad precedent and he is a weak role model. Take Zidane for example. Or Pep. They have gone through training as players and know what it takes to sacrifice themselves to get results. If Sarri says something along those lines and smokes a fag all the time, I dont think he cant be much of motivation or inspiration. Best leader is the one that knows whats he talking about. I rarely get inspiration from people who tell me one thing and then do something opposite. Because they themselves never go through it, how can you believe anything they say?

Pulisic as right footed RW doesnt give me as much excitement. Neres is left footed and would be fantastic adition. Odoi, Pulisic and Neres could be one hell of attack in couple years. Edit: He is 22 already, I thought he is 20 or something. Still good potential and IMO worth of adding to our squad. Neither Pedro or Willian are good anymore and Hazard is leaving, so 3 wingers are a must.

Coming back strong from an injury is something I've had to do all my life and I'll do it again. Thats the spirit Ruben

I actualy liked Jorginho vs Frankfurt despite Im not a fan of him in most games. That said, I think we should have gone for Rodri in the first place. He will be great signing for Pep, basicaly stronger Jorginho.

Id give him another chance, but with two quality fullbacks and striker. Doesnt have to be world class, just hungry and dynamic one in the mould of Firmino. Odoi and Pulisic on wings, Kante, Jorginho and RLC in the middle. But this is impossible next season. Azpi is there for certain and he isnt great in attack, while Odoi/RLC are both out injured.
