We need to build an identity within the club, stalwarts that will play for the club and a leader to charge them into battle. No more childish behaviour, moaning in the background, etc. We need unity forward, and if that is Sarri than be it.

Surely since it has gone viral, best to get ontop of the situation?

Could sell Higuain and keep Dybala?

Chelsea sack Antonio Conte… taking the total they’ve paid to axed bosses in the Roman Abramovich era to a whopping £90million Source

Hey, do you remember that striker you forgot we had on the books still? Yeah well, we loaned him out Seems like they are trolling us

Would be taught and nurtured under the watchful eye of Super Frank though....

Harry Kane got 10% Think this is the season that really tests his loyalty to the club...

£9m compensation deal going around at the moment...

HAS to be the man the midfield is built around!

No official word from club yet Guessing gonna wait till it's all boiled down with lawyers, etc

Always nice to see him score goals and taking names (as in defenders). Definitely the striker we deserved after the fiasco of forwards we had only a few season ago.

It's clear he is showing some kind of tactical ideas, coaching and decision making. The use of Matic and Kante in midfield together is good in theory, but it is obvious no matter what, with this defense, we will always have to use the attack as our defence (well, let's see how Zouma is after his injury). Conte has the kind of mindset that will make us great in time, again something that has probably been said so much, and after last season I am hoping for at least top six (ambitious?). His subs have won us games already, players are playing for him and he is offering to play Loftus-Cheek, Chalobah, and Moses chances so hopefully there will be a rotation that will allow fitness to not be an issue. Let him see what the problems are, and to resolve it with what he feels is best. His track record shows he knows what he is doing, and what happens when he is allowed to do it. No point of shooting off the gun again, or otherwise we will face the same old stuff again - which with the likes of Pep's Man City, wouldn't be the best time to restart everything.

Think he was a back-up option for Koulibaly, so will be a bit intriguing to see how he plays in Conte's mind.

Dont see anything? Even when clicked link

The fact there is nothing on the BBC website (as one would expect if total legit) and that Sky is the ONLY source seemingly running it, I gotta call bs. But would be nice to see him back, would still have a profit, and with his personality he would be a more attainable target for a transfer day dealing.

18:09 JAMES STAYING PUT? Real Madrid will not sell James Rodriguez this summer, reports AS. James’ future has been subject to heavy speculation since the end of last season following a disappointing second campaign at the Bernabeu. Arsenal and Chelsea have been linked with the Colombian in recent weeks but the Premier League duo are set to be disappointed in their pursuit of the former Monaco man. According to AS, Real Madrid have informed James that he will not be sold during this transfer window From SkySports Transfer Centre

Fair enough

Sarcasm?

People will orgasm so much if this was finally done A 2 year cock tease would tbf

Promising performance. Dominant tactical display, nullified their support to Carroll while maintaining procession, though some passes and crosses were array, it is a brilliant example of the kind of performance/style we can expect then I am excited for what is ahead. Kante was brilliant, and was unlucky with that yellow. Had some tackles a bit hard, but all brilliant in the role he played. Work rate was outstanding across the board, but again, final pass or the final third lacked. This game was just always about Conte, his set-up showed dominance and his changes made the result. Just looking at the scorers is a major improvement over last season, so looks like there might be more to this team (expecting at least one CB signing) then most can see.
