Chelsea Legend 11

Something that should be pointed out is our wingbacks are essentially wingers with some defensive responsibilities. In most games he'll be used primarily as an auxiliary attacker. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Rumours... rumours said Conte was going to AC Milan. Rumours had Hazard going to Real Madrid...

Sounds like the same rhetoric they used to describe Moses, Alonso and Luiz last year. Conte knows how to improve players and get the most out of them. You think the same can be said about Moyes, Martinez and Koeman? There is a very good chance he would flourish under Conte since much of what we do in games is rehearsed over and over again. He'll be required to use less of his instincts and more of his skill on the ball. I'd rather him than Drinkwater any day of the week.

Liverpool? They have wijnaldum, Henderson, Can, lallana, Milner and have just put in a bid for Keita... I feel like this is just the media trying to make a mountain out of a molehill. He has about as much a chance at Chelsea to play CM as he does at Liverpool, the kicker is we are more ambitious and based in London.

I can't see this not getting over the line, makes too much sense. He turned down a deal that is lucrative not because he's greedy, but because he's ambitious. If this is consistent with his thinking why would he join Liverpool who haven't won a free cup of coffee in years? He signs with us he remains in London to play for a team that wins titles. And I'd like to add this is a cracking signing, he won't be the world class glamour signing we've been craving for years but he is a player who will come in and improve this squad immensely. At 24 I'm a firm believer Conte can still mould him into a lynchpin performer. IMO having Conte as coach adds a 15% or more improvement on anyone we add to the squad. He is that good at getting players play above their level.

I think we got the real deal here. This guy understands the modern game and is a tactical mastermind, if the board back him we will see a trophy return like never before. He is that good and not just a manager but a coach of the highest order. We've backed lesser men, it's time to give him the resources he needs to succeed Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The fact you guys keep producing articles from the mirror is laughable. Do you guys ever bother to read that publication? It's the original ass wipe paper. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

isn't he currently injured?

I've learned a long time ago not to believe anything from sources who are nowhere near the club. He's from Colombia!! the fuck does he know about chelsea? He's just pandering to his base, he got some notoriety because he was able to confirm James Rodriguez was at the English embassy in January and has ridden that ever since. for all of these "ITK's" this period of the season is their idea of a wet dream. They wind you up only to let you look foolish. Look no further than the newest ITK NiiNii this guy has been on a tirade claiming chelsea have prepared a bank account for Sandro LOL... He also said the same thing about Aguero who has lived in England for however many years... It all bullshit

you may be right here but there is no way to prove it. sergi wouldn't be the first smallish player to play in the prem. There was definitely a time where physical stature meant everything, I'm just not sure that is still AS prevalent today. He'd be a nice addition to the squad if you ask me. His abilty to run with the ball and pass it accurately is excellent.

I wonder if his agent is telling them he wants to come but he doesn't want to submit a transfer request. You lose the loyalty bonus once you do that, right? I reckon if he does come it will be as last resort deadline day transfer request.

He won't see them week after week. I think he's a solid player who can do a lot of things that can help the team. Very good passer of the ball and able to cover a few positions.

I think should he make a full recovery, this fella should get another look. Jose has no idea how to use attack minded fullbacks and never gave him a chance to express himself. I feel this kid has a lot of potential and could be a solution if he is healed up.

I agree with this.

I find this so hard to believe. Ross Barkley has no position in Chelsea's current setup

Ya unsettle him for Utd to pip us...

Whoa... Lets not get too carried away here.

we won 30 games last year...

Winning the premier league title is the holy grail now... the prize money from winning it is WAAAAYYY more than winning the Champions League

No its not. This is Chelsea not Watford... The expectations are much higher than those of some other clubs. Chalobah needed to leave to go play at his level which ISN'T top 10 team in Europe.

If we want to challenge for more than youth cups we need senior players

The younger players only improve the numbers of the squad not the quality.

We've been linked with so many people I'm starting to not care. Just get a few across the line... Hard not to support the opinion this has been anything but a disappointing window.

Where did you hear that from???

pretty much every game he featured in had him on the left. https://www.whoscored.com/Players/92329/Show/Leonardo-Spinazzola
