this has made my day

He was like a really hot woman who dazzled on his first few appearances, but over time our balls have become less silly and see now, that underneat the surface, there is no substance, nothing that makes them unique. Oscar, you are all looks.

Willian is the same player as Marcelo in my eyes. I agree he'd make a good RWB. He'd be perfect for Barcelona, there's no other player more suited to them right now. It's important to have versatility in a squad, so speaking just for Chelsea it'd be great in the long run to know that all of Azpi, Willian, Moses & Aina can play the role, defending well enough and also getting forward. When you use squad players like squad players you get results. We've been needing a versatile bench player like Belletti. Experience & versatility; not inexperienced and potentially versatile (RLC) or experienced & not versatile at all (Fabregas).

I'd rather get knocked out of a domestic cup comp than run players like Kante into the ground. Conte's experience in Serie A in this regard cannot carry over; over there, you can play your best players in whatever competition, the scheduling is less hectic and there's usually less chance of injury since they're more pansy-like. I can't help but feel he'd think it's a bigger achievement than it is to win one of the smaller cups, and it'd just make sense that we exhaust ourselves to get one while finishing 3rd or 4th come the end of the year. Focus on the league and we can do it. Split our attention and I don't believe so.

I DROPPED MY HASH IN MY DRINK AND WE ARE BEING SPANKED. ITS A VERY BAD DAY

FIRST I FIND AN OLD STICK OF HASH LONGER THAN MY FINGER IN A JACKET I'VE NEVER WORN AND NOW I SEE WE HAVE A GAME TODAY! ITS VERY BEAUTIFUL

I'd love for bookies to do a special offer of over/under however many headers Kante can win per match. I'll go mental if he ever scores a header

Pogba is being ripped by United fans on a level far higher than that we've gone to to rip Torres, Oscar, or anybody. A great day.

Alright Kante is Vidal now, Matic is a shit Marchisio, and now we just need our Pirlo

1 great thing this man has done, and I mean this, is give balding men hope. I have great long girly hair, but I have signs & fear of going bald early. His hair transplant shows that if you don't know it's a transplant job, you aint gonna find out no matter how long you look (unless you go somewhere cheap and the stitching is clear on your forehead like a bad Kane mask.*) He's a symbol. All Jose stood for was razors. *

It'd be hot if this guy believed in himself enough to say, I'll go to a smaller team, like Leverkusen, and help build a dyansty in whatever way I can. But I bet this bitch will hold out for a team that can hide his weaknesses.

I think the only team that can afford him & would make sense next season is Juventus. They may want to line up a Buffon replacement, but I get the feeling if we browsed some Juve forums they'd seem confident they have a young Italian lined up. Anything else is a step down unless Barcelona have a brain-fart, ship Stegen back to Germany or over here, and take Courtois for some sake.

My favourite manager has taken Nice to the top of the French league in aplomb. I pray he ends up at PSG, and then here.

he's exactly the type of defender Conte loves to work with

Playing without a striker, Pep is an absolute weirdo

At his best, he was at least equal to Courtois (here, not at Atletico, that guy is different altogether.) That's definitely good enough for us, and I believe we'd put a real fire in his belly. Right now, we're the most logical team for him quite easily.

Sabatini essentially assured Lazio would be a top dog again, he rebuilt their team beautifully. He then found Palermo's best players from the past 15 years, players whom none of us had heard of at all before joining Palermo, I'm sure of it. Then he moved to Roma and he did the best he could. But keep in mind, they have owners far worse than anyone in our own league. Absolute tits. They certainly wanted big names from Sabatini, they want to still increase their brand awareness and solidify themselves as one of the USA's most followed teams in Europe. The fact it wasn't so much about the talent anymore, i'm sure, has helped push Saba out the door.

I'm probably missing some players but, the gems or prospects we've bought with Emenalo in charge, haven't exactly been incredible finds. He helped bring over some borderline incredible players maybe, but all the other teams knew about them, and it was mainly Piet who lead that charge of ours. Lukaku & De Bruyne were 2 of the 5 hottest prospects in Belgium. Musonda follows them to become the 3rd. Every single top scout should and would have known about at least the first 2. Hazard was beyond being gushed about in world football, considered by far the best player in France, before we bought him. I liked Romeu, but I believe AVB found him. Mata was known all over Spain before we got him. Oscar hasn't exactly done for us what Pastore (found by Sabatini of course) did in Serie A, not even close. Then we've got Marko Marin, whoever's smart idea that was. I liked Salah, that was a genuinely good find, I'm not sure who pulled the trigger on him. I now wonder whose idea it was to get Cuadrado lol. So, whom exactly has Emenalo found for us, who's then turned out great?

This might end up really funny.

If only we'd persisted with McEachran

He's loyal. He's consistent. He's patient. I respect that.

I used to think it was fantasy stuff what I kept asking for, Azpi at centre back, Moses as a wing back. It was so obvious from both of their first seasons with us. I might just go get some coaching badges to be honest.

It would be gamechanging. He's been in chains and craving a team with the amount of pull & finance we do.

Moses has been our most consistent player from the moment we signed him.
