Chelsea Legend 11

Chelsea make new transfer enquiry for Paul Pogba – report Chelsea look set to revive their interest in Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba after making an enquiry over the Frenchman. Pogba, 22, is regarded as one of the best young players in the world, and was strongly linked with the Blues back in the summer. Chelsea now seem to be back in for him again after a drastic dip in form from midfielders Nemanja Matic and Cesc Fabregas this season.

Chelsea may use Cesc Fabregas and Oscar in a deal for Paul Pogba who is ready to leave Juventus next summer. (Corriere Dello Sport)

I'm starting to question what is classified as a key pass.

I'm not just speaking of today, all season its been this way. He's looked disinterested for the better part of the season

He's the guy who is supposed to create chances. How many have we seen him create?

He's been nothing short of shocking all season. Not even up for debate anymore...

Falcao has more goals...

I would love it if the board made an example of this selfish little entitled brat. Sell him to the highest bidder and buy real quality. I would LOVE Aubameyang and Pogba

Lol... City have established a blueprint for dynastic success??? Hahahahaha Barca cultivated their success it wasn't bought. And if you compare the resume of Txiki's successes and failures from 2003-10 to that of your whipping boy, Emenalo I would bet it stacks up favourably.

Your opinion of him is childish and well off the mark. Roman, a man who hires and fires at will, is going to employ a man because he is a yes man? Who are we to give credit to for the players who have been brought in by the club since 2011? bearing in mind we've had 5 managers in that spell. Asinine... Not worth addressing. Why do you keep going back to Barca? They had a structure in place long before Txiki... They produced talent! They didn't have a great record BUYING IT! And all he's done at his time at City is spend and spend and spend and they have yet to establish themselves as a super power meanwhile they've been sanctioned and don't seem to have any sort of "vision" at all.

So now you are only going to credit him when things go poorly? The scouts find the players, Emenalo and the manager work together to figure out which of those players we should acquire. LOL you ever thought he perhaps wanted to move because Jose has never really like the idea of working with a technical director? beyond that you're just speculating you have no idea if that is even close to true... Pretty weak to even sight that as part of an argument. Txiki? Hahahahahhaha The man that brought Nasri, Clichy, Sagna, Negredo, Bony, Fernandinho, Fernando, Mangala, Demichelis, Navas, Otamendi, Delph and also was partly responsible for City getting sanctioned by UEFA??? hahahaha brother please.... If thats what you call vision I'd say you're a bit blurry-eyed. Zola is a footballing God and an awful coach.... Shearer the same. What is the point??? You are quite clearly lost in your anger and have no idea where to direct it.

He works WITH the manager, how many managers have Chelsea had throughout his tenure? I count 5... And just because he doesn't have a track record means absolutely nothing! In my eyes he's done a very good job at highlighting talent... He's uncovered a lot of world stars.

IF that is truly his role why are so many crying to get him out of the club? I think he's done a fantastic job highlighting talent and bringing it to the club... People are just looking for someone to blame I do not support the vitriol being slung at Michael at all. Can someone please elaborate on why he needs to be fired?

I'm a firm believer that Jose was let go not because of results but more so because he's fallen out with Chelsea's brightest star, Eden Hazard. Long gone are the days where a manager can walk into any dressing room and be the big personality that who everyone panders to and tries to please. Right now its all about image/naming rights and who can make viewers watch us play. Jose fell out with players before and the club backed him, as soon as it was Hazard who was unsettled they had no choice than to fire the coach. I really hope for his sake Hazard has a cracking second half of the season because if he continues on his current form he will receive the full brunt of Jose 'wrongful' dismissal.

Hoping the love affair with this fella has truly dried up... 60m for a guy who does nothing exceptionally is an enormous mistake. watch about 8 games this year where he's been nothing above bang average. Would rather Ruben get a chance, in my eyes he could be the more talented prospect and he doesn't cost anywhere near as much.

The Mirror is a joke publication. Probably the biggest joke

Lol. The only thing that is imaginary this year is Hazard's contribution to the team.

You're probably right. I have noticed the report of a scan wasn't even from someone reputable. Thanks for forcing me to dig a bit deeper... Still not of the belief he wasn't in large part responsible for the sacking.

Go back and read what you initially jumped in on.

And how is it any different for the manager? Chelsea fired you, there is interest from the biggest club in England, he shouldn't take it? LOL the double standard here are incredibly amusing.

You quit on me, I quit on you. Simple.

Much better = zero goals much better = zero man of the match awards. He's looked livelier but the Hazard we've fallen in love with is but a mere shadow of his former self.

If I were at the Bridge tomorrow I would let it RAIN! Not because I'm some Mourinho apologist but because our best player quit on the team and would rather see us get relegated then do his part and help the team, not for Jose's sake but for that of the club. Spoiled, entitled brat.

The game is changing. The amount these athletes make now for themselves and for the club makes them more of a commodity than even the most charismatic and successful managers. Hazard is no fool, he had a falling out with Jose and clearly its not something they could work out like men.

So what is your point? unless he comes out and admits he feigned injury because he didn't want to play for the manager than we are forced to believe he is a good, honest, human being who wouldn't lie about anything??? If I'm in a room with one other individual and I leave and come back and my phone is gone and the person says "aliens came and took it" I'm forced to believe that because I don't have actual proof of the contrary? Use your head. He wasn't injured bad enough to leave the game, even the game before that he refused to shake his hand, let me guess, he was just caught off guard and was frightened by it.
