Higuain has not scored in 8 consecutive games in all competitions for the first time since arriving in Serie A. Now I am convinced that we'll get him.

M.City 1- Crystal P. 3 Liverpool will get it, depressing.

This is Crystal's second goal. https://streamja.com/LoPv

M.City 1 - Crystal Palace 2

Lille owner Gerard Lopez has previously stated that Pepe will not leave in January.

I saw this on twitter, written by a Utd fan. "Appointing Solskjaer reminds me of when I’d be getting smashed on FIFA so I’d just put the keeper up front for fun."

Case is closed for me after wes' post. Many people who want a DoF like at other successful football clubs give specific names based on their past like wes did there, not because they know that person would make the every transfer they have in mind. You are not totally wrong though some people will always criticize the DoF, the manager and the board, and the criticism will increase when the club is not successful. Mourinho and Conte were being criticized by some for playing too pragmatic and too defensive even when we were successful, so you are right that some people want managers and DoFs that would do what they have in mind, but until we drop significantly in the table those people are in minority. His last season most people voted that Mourinho should stay until the end before we were in the relegation zone. So I would not put everyone in the same basket.

Actually wes proved my point here. You assumed people like wes want a DoF that would agree with them. The fact is wes prefers a DoF with experience and a succesfull record. Now you can go on assuming wes and Luis Campos agree on our transfers and that's why wes wants a DoF.

Your original point was that most people want DoF that he would agree with them. I don't think you can read most people's mind. Most people have specific names in their minds for DoF. I know this from their posts. They want either a football legend or someone with proven record like Luis Campos or Marotta, but your example is always Emenalo who is in neither category. Why do you think people always mention Drogba, Ballack or Campos? Do you think they know they would agree with them on every transfer?

I sound daft and you are always right. This is how most of your discussions end by the way. You called Vesper a troll not so long ago.

I said it would be the first step to be run like other successful European clubs. I guess you don't want our club to be run like most successful clubs in Europe, you just want to call yourself right. Emenalo is just a bad example for a DoF. Real had Zidane, Bayern has Sammer and the example you constantly bring up is Emenalo. I guess he was a player like Zidane and Sammer for you.

I didn't say it is all his fault, but you think Sporting Director has zero responsibility when a team goes to relegation zone, has 13 point after 17 games?

I read the whole thread I still think your assumption is not correct. I would not say most people if I were you, yes some people will never be satisfied with our transfers but I genuinely think that most want Chelsea to be run like other successful clubs in Europe. A competent DoF would be the first step.

No you are making a ridiculous assumption. Like I said before it is bullshit. People want a football legend like Ballack I say, your answer is but they criticized Emenalo. I say people want someone like Beppe Marotta who has proven himself at Juve, your answer is but people criticized Emenalo.

You mean Emenalo? What proven record did he have to become Chelsea director. He is now sporting director at Monaco and after one just one year at the job Monaco is in relegation zone. Emenalo neither had a great football career like Ballack nor a proven record as DoF like Marotta before joining Chelsea.

Bullshit. Most people who say we need DoF want either a club legend for the job or someone like Beppe Marotta who has a proven record. This is how most successful clubs are run in Europe.

Vidal more likely I guess.

They should just give their new stadium as well and close the club then.

Mourinho cultists are now wondering whether they hate Hazard or Pogba more.

Woodward is still there. No worries about the Manure yet.

It is kind of funny you say this the day Maureen is sacked.
