Blue Gino

Just give Antonio a contract for life. I'm over the moon with the way he has handled buisness. From the players, staff and media, this club has the look and feel of a family and what a statement by Conte's men today in the face of fake news attempts by fan boy journalists of other clubs trying desperately to unsettle them. Media took a fat L today.

When we were linked to both Allegri and Conte, I said I preferred Allegri. This just proves how stupid I am, I kick myself every day for having unsubstantiated opinions.

On the funny side of things...
 
 
 

He's like the friendly, warm Mafia boss. He's like a dad to you. He always showers you in compliments, cars, motivation. But you can see that in those eyes, that if you do cross him, it's nothing to him to have you disposed. He feels so confident in his own shoes that if you were half an inch from his eyelids he wouldn't blink. He knows that before anyone even touches him, he has power over them. What a boss. I want to come up with a Conte tattoo that isn't stupid. It's gonna be hard but will be done.

Backpedal Gary, Captain of England lol. British pundits like Neville give Luiz stick but not a peep out of them about Cahill. Must give Courtois sleepless nights.

liverpool pressed us so high, we almost died on the pitch...

Fab has been a total professional and it boggles my mind why the guy who created more chances than all of Swansea in his limited minutes can't start in a midfield of Kante and Oscar.

Maybe Conte doesn't think he can play the 90 minutes or that he could compromise our midfield and worsen an already bad defense. But Conte himself said the best defense is attacking, so why doesn't he act like talks and bring the most creative player we have?
It's not like we have plenty of them and Cesc is the best but also the more compromising. We don't have creative players AT ALL other than him and we're struggling watching Oscar, Willian and even Matic create for us. It's a miracle Diego has rescued us three times already as he did with the terrible service he's been receiving.
I reckon we would have had 4 wins if we had played Cesc. Let him start and take him off during the break or bring him at the break. What makes no sense is not to use him in the matches unless we desperately need a goal to win. If Conte brings him up every time we were down in the scoreline, why wait til it happen to bring him? Makes no sense to me and the media should be making more noise about it and maybe Conte would have a wake up call and some pressure on him to make the most obvious decision.

We had terrible year and quite bad team. We signed Conte to fix that, but it will take time. You cant just bring in 6 players in one summer and start winning games. It takes fucking time. Could well be two years to actualy get all players Conte wants and sell deadwood. 
Yet here we are two months into and people already complaining. We are actualy improving on both ends, our defense is better than last season (that doesnt tell much tho), our midfield is faster, our attack creates more chances and players release ball quicker. Its all improvement. But obviously we wont be winning every game comfortably 3:0. 
Some of you lot are like the board. Want changes instantly. No time. No trust. Then you talk about youth and not changing managers every year. If that aint ironic. 

31 or whatever loaners with more waiting for deals at Cobham yet there's only 5 defenders and two trustworthy strikers available. Why Emenalo hasn't been fucking shitcanned at this point is amazing.

The club finished 10th. Other clubs know that this club is desperate to get back into the Champions League and they aren't stupid they want to make Chelsea pay through the nose but Emenalo doesn't get it. The board is too arrogant to meet the sums and its bit them in the ass. They lost their leverage finishing 10th. Instead Emenalo will find more Papys and Hectors out there and this defense will continue to ship in more goals.

I'm thinking Aina might feature heavily, but that could just be wishful thinking on my part. 
I can't get my head around us letting Baba go on loan especially considering we also let Ake go out again too, I had a feeling he'd be brought back in this season, I know he can play CM but as a squad fullback he would have given us depth without spending a penny. 

Chelsea forced Napoli to look for replacement and that's good. People are citing Manchester clubs as an EXEMPLARY HOW IT SHOULD BE DONE, lol, none of theirs deal in value for money terms is even close to Kante territory, only in sight is Mkhitaryan but just because he had one year left.
I can criticise club for lack of trying but can't criticize for being reasonable. I'm sorry.
And for guys liking numbers, we're still third in terms of money spent right ? So stfu.
I think if they won't budge, though it's currently 50-50, we'll just sign that Lindelof kid from Benfica with fixed price at 30m€.

Conte so far clearing out Emenalo's questionable buys like Baba, Papy, soon Miazga and Hector on loans. To quote this from a blog called Pride of London, a nice summary of Emenalo the leader and legend... "
Emenalo became Technical Director of the club in 2011. Here are some stats (via transfermarkt.com). Since 2011 Chelsea have been involved in 186 player transactions (either sales or loans). Of those players only 20 ended up staying with the club and during that time Chelsea have spent the not-so-small sum of £568.65 million.
Just so we’re clear that is a hit rate of 9.3%. That’s right, less than one in every ten players that Emenalo has brought to the club has ended up staying to be a helpful contributor.

Conte: "I call and he calls me often. I spoke with Carlo and he told me about #CFC very, very well. We spoke about people who work here"
 Carlo said watch your back around Emenalo

So, this is our squad if the transfer window closed today then...
Goalkeepers:
Courtois Begovic Blackman Defenders:
Terry Cahill Hector Ivanovic Azpilicueta Aina (Zouma is injured) Midfielders:
Kante Matic Fabregas Oscar Chalobah (Mikel is at the Olympics) Wingers:
Hazard Willian Pedro Cuadrado Moses Strikers:
Costa Batshuayi Traore Loftus-Cheek What, I'd do until the window closes:
Buy another CB. Loan Hector. Buy another LB. Move Azpilicueta to the right and new LB to the left. Ivanovic becomes CB backup, Aina is Azpi's backup. Sell Mikel. Move RLC to midfield. Play Hazard as a second striker if we play 424, otherwise he stays on the LW. Play 4141 and in midfield: Kante/Matic in the back & Fabregas/Oscar and Chalobah/RLC in front of him. Not buy Lukaku.
