Haha well try to keep quality instead of quantity. I like forum, but sometimes it has too much pointless pages. Maybe you missunderstood me, its not "your" fault that I believe rumour or not, based on what you say. I know which rumours to believe regardless. But when crap rumour appears, just dismiss it instead of provoking the forum. Because that causes chainreaction of members who continue to discuss about fake rumour for next five pages. For other members including myself, going through 5 pages of bs to find out if we got new manager is pointless. I have daily mail for that. Maybe I got it wrong and this is sarcastic, bitch & moan thread instead of informative place to find news about Cfc manager situation. Keeping this place clean is what mods should do afterall.

Mate yes I know what is true and what smells like BS. I think you misunderstood me. You think I believe the shit source if mods discuss it? Lol. I see the source and dont give a shit about it if it doesnt look legit. Regardless if mods continue to talk about it. BUT some OTHER members start talking and complaining. And it makes the forum unreadable. I check here daily to see manager news and all there is are bunch of pages with people complaining how clueless the club is based on crap rumours that MODS dont eliminate.

No but it doesnt help that after every shit source, some mods say how big mess we are. If one has to say something, just say the source is garbage and dont believe it (and certain mods do that). Much better than typing after every bs twitt how crap we are which fuels unncecessary discussion and complaints how clueless is the club. Some people here sure take posts of mods for wiser than those other members. If mods rile up the crap rumours (once it could be used as sarcasm, not every day) that some members post, it makes quite a difference. But why am I surprised, its what happens everywhere. As long something is discussing, even if that something are bullshit stories, so that there is more posts and visits on threads. Btw, I didnt say this is mods fault, they cant make people stop posting bad rumours. But tge reactions could be handled differently.

Quite dissapointed that instead of calming people down, some mods/admins here constantly throw the "oh the end is near for chelsea" every day, making fans even more nervous and dubious about the club. Its obvious that 90% of rumours are bullshit and key men on the forum (should) know it, yet all we see is more fuel on fire, instead of clearing and cleaning that would make fans here calmer. Drama and more drama. This isnt Kardashians show for fucks sake. Same with the club, they should make an official announcement about situation with Conte and his replacement etc.

All names bar maybe Leno would be a clear downgrade to what we have. They are ok keepers, but nothing more. Alisson or Oblak are the only GKs that would equal/improve on Tibo. We realy shouldnt make any further downgrades. Its like saying why targeting Bailey when you can get someone like Zaha or Perisic for cheaper.

Napoli played super football and you dont replace such manager unless he wants to leave and has next destination set. Thats why Napoli brought Ancelotti. Sarri is leaving. IMO Sarri will be Chelsea manager, but as always we are doing things very slowly.

Chelsea FC:

Yep we won title last year and FA now, but also finished without CL for second time in 3 year. This is worrying, lets not pretend that title fixes issues. We have problems left and right, from squad quality, unstable manager situation, incompetent board, Roman trouble with UK, ...never mind we stall on every deal, overspend on shit players, cant get transfers in quality and early... Its like Inter who won CL and is now shit ever since.

Zidane unexpectedly quit Real Madrid.

Reality will be: ''Cesc can play for another year'' and replacement for Pedro will be someone like Redmond, you know english core

Once Salah was off, it was obvious Real will win it, no surprises. Salah isnt Pool playmaker, but his impact is just giant when he is on the pitch. Everytime he gets benched, Pool plays twice worse because there is no pressing in attack, less speed, less movement. Tonight, maybe Pool wouldnt hold on to, but if Salah was on pitch longer, they would be the first to score. But then there is Karius, worst performance from GK ever lol.

It took Klopp a while to achieve this and even this season they were shit defensively against some smaller sides which cost them potential title run. Do you want all out attacking football and during season destroy some teams, but also lose to Burnleys and Palaces often? Do you think Chelsea will tolerate two seasons with average results, like Klopp had before this season? (and even now they finished 4th, which isnt great). Sarri tried to go attack with Napoli too (much more drilled side than Chelsea will be next season) and lost to City. All Im saying we shouldnt play allout attack game just because its fancy and popular, because Pep will beat us in his game. We have to develop from our strenghts, not adopt rivals style. Dont get me wrong, I would love Sarri here and Im sure we will play fantastic football on the eye (with few new players and given that current squad puts faith and adopts to new manager), but dont be surprised if we get spanked by top sides who play offensive football for longer time with more drill, or small sides who will take our approach by the balls and punish the defence (lets be honest, Klopp, Pep, Sarri have wonderful attack and actions, but their defenses are plain and simple garbage more often than not). Only reason I have faith in Sarri is because majority of our players went through defensive drills by Mou and Conte and they know how to defend, Pep and Klopp players never had that chance. What I mean, people seem to love Pep football, but his defence is pure shit. I dont want that at Chelsea. We always had strong defence, but efficient attack. If Sarri can implement that, (like Ancelotti did in 2009/10) thats awesome, but honestly if all we do is trade defensive stability for attacking brilliance, we wont see any trophy for a long time. Fuck that. I love idea of a more attacking chelsea, but not at the expense of what made us strong club. I loved when we played like shit, everyone laughed at us, but I cheered for our defense to hold on and then we scored and I was like yeah, take the L. Its what made Chelsea powerful. They were rolling over us, we let them attack, they made 100 shots and then bang, we hit them on counter. Everyone said we will lose, but we never gave up. I want that Chelsea, packed in new era. Fuck Pep and Klopp and their styles. I admit I admire good football from opposing side, but Chelsea wouldnt be Chelsea if it wasnt defensively balanced and deadly efficient. Maybe iz sounds weird, but thats our dna of roman era, reason I supported the club. We defy odds, we dont give shit about others, play our game and win. Be it by one shot-one goal and make everyone in the world mad. Playing super attacking football would just look too fancy. I want strong characters and never give up mentality back. Atletico is example to an extent, they just dont have the funds we had, but pretty much same mentality and phylosophy. EVERYONE in football screams for revolutions and attacking football. Imagine Chelsea back at their top dog game with pragmatic approach. Not giving shit about what world wants and thinks. We just played our way with plan to win. And piss off the rest of the world. Thats what we did in Didi, Lamps era.

Sarri would be great, but I have doubts going all attacking football all of a sudden. We played defensive yes, and thats one way. Going all out attack is the other way which I dont like either. We need a balance, something between. Pep is best in attacking football and you cant beat Pep if you go straight attack on him. Thats one big problem if we are going to do that. Pep dream world would be for every opponent to attack because he is the best at it and ultimately he would win against anyone. Teams that sit deep or play balanced efficient football kill him and he hates that. We shouldnt become all out attacking team because we will always be second best at that. We need to find balance because thats where Pep is weak, he doesnt have plan B.

Indeed, but with current board I'd say thats impossible. The club needs heart and soul to create something meaningful. Our board consists of people who are there to turn money around and make everything in balance, but no one knows jackshit how to create something, like SAF did back with United. I hate that word, but board is bunch of plastic people with exception of Roman. but he himself sadly doesnt have knowledge how to operate football club in sporting ways.

How is there still no action from the club? Some public announcement? I mean Willian publicly offended Conte who is first coach after we just won cup and the club will do jack shit about it?

I just hope shit hit the fan, we get Sarri in, world class striker, midfielder, sell the deadwood. Then we wake up..

Sarri is the only manager I would take right now. Maybe Tuchel, but he gone to Psg. Would be realy cool to finaly see Cfc play attacking football if we can get Sarri. Im getting excited, hopefuly we dont fuck up in transfer window and get few quality players

Low confidence isnt even the problem with this guy, stop pointing it out everytime he doesnt score. He was on fire in first half and was still missing one on ones with GK game after game. He is simply put, terrible finisher. He might get his "confidence" back and play good football, score headers, but that wont be enough for us to be top side. We need striker that can be reliable and deadly, someone who burries chances when given. Morata isnt that, with or without confidence. He will get another season to prove, but if he wants to improve, he will have to become more clinical, because even with confidence skyhigh, his finish is average at best.

Yeah he has talent, but seriously lacks discipline and brains. +he is LW/ST. We already have Eden on left, while I wouldnt trust Martial as main striker. The only way I can see him fit in this squad is something like this ---------------Tibo----------------- -Azpi-Chris-Rudi-Emerson- RLC/Baka-Kante-NEW CM -------------Hazard---------------- -------Martial-Morata----------- Morata gets support by another striker, Hazard gets his best role as free roaming AM, our midfield and defense looks solid, plus Martial and Eden can always cut in from wings, which adds diversity. We would however need constant support wide from Emerson and Azpi, question is if they are up to the task. Abraham would get decent play time too if we had 2 strikers. Add Bailey and we can always play 4:3:3 to shake things up aswell.

In order to get regular spot in club and more certain place in world club, Morata moved from Real in first place. Wonder how it feels now that he got that move and for the first time wasnt picked in Spain squad, despite playing more at Chelsea than Real or Juve before. Literaly the example of beware what you wish for.

Heh the guy extended contract with Atletico until 2026. Saul isnt moving anywhere anytime soon.

He should be suspended right away and probably sold in the summer. What a disgraceful act from what I thought was nice and hardworking player who might not be the best, but puts good performance on the occassion. But to do that against first coach, regardless if he stays or not should not be tolerated. Ship him off to wherever outside PL and get Bailey. He broke the rule and there is no going back IMO. I hope the board acts accordingly, because if we let that slip, any player could take advantage of us which is not good.

Young and Delph ahead of Bertrand? Cahill ahead of Tarkowski? England fails because they bring names instead of players who are good. You could form long term and pick lets say Pope and Tarkowski who are familiar from Burnley, but coach will end up playing Butland who was average this season and Cahill who is way past his best. On another point, I understand you want best players in your nt team, but when it comes to RLC Im very excited about him being picked, since Im not english, but Chelsea fan. And he was certainly best young english player this season along with TAA (not counting already established players like Alli, Sterling,...)...there are quite few others who are more questionable picks than RLC IMO.

It will take them at least another 10 years to get even close to United in terms of size. United is one of the very few clubs that can still rival Barca and Real even after several shit seasons, they are still giant club in popularity. That said, they will have to push for CL and with Pep I think they have a long way to go. They might dominate league, but in Europe they will get spanked again and again. I was proven right for two years now when I said it and I stand by it. Pep is one way manager and in europe you face such and such sides where you have to adapt. Not to mention CL is won by heart and bravery still. Pep and Barca was tiki taka yeah, but people forget how much desire and passion Puyol, Xavi, Messi, Iniesta had for the club. In Bayern, Pep changed whole philosophy and there was no results because he took everyrhing german out of that club. At City, he has bunch of quality players, but apart from Kompany and maybe Silva and Aguero, who is there that actualy cares for the club? Who is a diehard loyal player there? Real has Ramos, Modric,...they give 110% every game and motivate the squad. I just dont see current City squad to do the same, especialy not under Pep. The guy can absolutely destroy you in 8/10 games, but he cant adopt for those 2 and the opponent takes advantage which is enough. And no way can they actualy absolutely dominate europe. Barca was the closest to that and they werent perfect still. And they had loyal players who would die for that club, City doesnt have it. Sure once eventualy they will win it, but them, or PSG are clubs who want to buy everything and money doesnt actualy win you trophies. We wouldnt be successful without Terry, Lamps and Didi because they had heart set on the club, not because we had world class players in every position. Compared to Real with Zidane, Ronaldo,...Milan with Kaka,..Barca with Ronnie and we could still easily fight them because we had that spirit. City doesnt have that. You cant buy it. We were extremely lucky that we had money but also right players who became life long fans of Chelsea. That is slowly dying off and we are becoming worse year after year. City, Psg can spend 500m, until they actualy show passion on pitch they are worth fuck all. Sure they will roll over Crystal Palaces and Burnleys, but every quality team spanks them. It reminds me of Real when they bought Ronaldo and thought they can buy titles. It took them several years to grow as a club and now they actualy fight till last second to win the games. And even then, its hard to fight on all fronts every year. Just because City is good and maybe will be better next year, they wont be improving every year. They will drop the form and thats always in football world. What goes around comes around. Eventualy teams on top change. Regardless of that, I do fear about Chelsea. We are extremely shit on market for a while and we have to gear up. Not just buy more expensive, but look for Kante players, bit cheaper but very good.
