Special Juan

Zola is going to be crucial in the new saga, a massive icon of the club, well respected and it will massively key for Sarri to bend the ear of him on everything CFC.

Changing an average LB for another average LB is stupid, Luke Shaw needs to lose about a stone and his level is Newcastle.

First job is to make Azpilicueta captain IMO.

They are chasing Neymar, already talks started, they won't get Neymar and Hazard. Their primary target is Neymar.

IMO a better shot stopper than Courtois and in most of the departments better, the only one I would say Tibo is slightly better is coming for crosses but Alisson is very competent. Believe me he's fucking far superior to Bravo.

Very much in the mold of Ederson, his distribution is absolute top notch, not only that but he has developed so much at Roma since he first joined.

Could be a double unveiling him and Jorginho this weekend.

Must of been into the wind

Arrived in London

🔥 #RealMadrid, there is the offer for #Courtois: Understanding already reached with the Belgian goalkeeper, only the yes of Chelsea is missing. Blues decisively on #Alisson. And the #Roma can sink the blow for #Areola, allowing PSG. New weaving-goalkeepers in sight. #calciomercato This sounds like it's got momentum now, replacing Courtois with Alisson is a huge plus IMO.

Matteo Pedrosi reporting this, think this has legs now. 🔥 #RealMadrid, there is the offer for #Courtois: Understanding already reached with the Belgian goalkeeper, only the yes of Chelsea is missing.

Don't be shocked, SKY have just broken this news....

Nobody knows, he has a about 10 medicals since Wednesday.

They have also just presented their new keeper Mirante at the PC in Trigoria.

Probably bollocks but hope to god it's correct.

Have this by PM and stop clogging up threads, please do this immediately. Thanks.

There is going to be a court battle, be sure of it, that's why they won't thank him.

"It's officially the Chelsea coach. Maurizio Sarri left this morning. Today he will be at the Blues headquarters to sign the contract: all image rights for him will be managed by his son. Chelsea really wanted it so much waiting for him. The various Calzona, Sinatti and Bonomi will not be with the technician. The former Naples coach will follow: Massimo Nenci, goalkeeper coach; Marco Ianni, tactician; Davide Ranzato, athletic trainer; Davide Losi, athletic trainer; Gianni Picchioni, observer ".

I'm classing Roman as part of 'the board'

We now have to get away from all this hiring and firing, this club needs mass stability. I know Conte rocked his own boat but it's now time to rid the divide that always happens between board and coach, they need to communicate and get on. This palpable discord every 18-20 months is both worrying and not good at all. It paints and already grey picture, and this has been nothing short of a complete joke fro start to finish. The board need to change and quickly.

Benitez got a bigger statement than that

Now we look forward, thank god that is sorted.
