I try not to get too excited about players after one season or a few good performances. I advise some of you the same.

This was my reaction when I first did not see Cahill and then noticed that we dont have Morata or Giroud.

Where Atalanta finsihed last year and who they sold in the summer are more irrelevant than Ilicic. Bats scored Serie A's 8th team in a game Ilicic two goals too. My judgment:Not impressed.

I mentioned them when I compared them with Gladbach because they are in the same league. Your mighty Atalanta is currently 8th in Serie A. What you call business is accomplished by Ilicic too in that game. That is why I asked if you would consider him for Chelsea.

He did the business against Atalanta. A team that destroyed Everton on their own ground Everton Ilicic also scored twice in that game. Should we get him too?

You should say that about his performance against Monchengladbach. In the tweet it says half decent. It is not my tweet but you should read properly and then quote. I agree Monchengladbach is not a very good team, but it is still better than Hamburg and Koln which are at the bottom of Bundesliga.

Hamburg's squad value is equal to Fulham and Middlesborogh. So there are no teams like Hamburg in PL.

He had a good game overall but also ... When you sum the team values of Hamburg and Atalanta you get something like Southampton or West Ham. I am glad that he is scoring goals but I will be more impressed when he plays well against better oppositions.

60th minute against Leipzig tonight Napoli was leading 1-0. Sarri made three changes at 60th minute, I dont know what he was planning to do if there was injury but anyway Napoli conceded 3 goals after those changes and lost the game 1-3.

Yes he seems better than Bakayoko in that area:D The goal is here if anyone is interested. https://streamable.com/fwwk0

And Schurrle scores

Watching Dortmund Atalanta game I miss Schurrle more than Batshuayi.

I am very curious about new chief scout assignment. I hope the board brings in someone with a good track record of finding talent. While we are dreaming of Pocchetino Leipzig stole his scout. I wish we got him or Dortmund's Mislintat. Conte or not we have to stop the Bakayoko, Drinkwater, Djiolobodji, Baba Rahman madness. Obviously we will spend less than Manchester clubs because of the stadium. We can only compete if we find better players for cheap.

Premiere league should import referees from Germany and Spain

Conte last year quoted Hannibal and said we will either find a way or we will make one. He seems to have forgotten his words as we have been doing the same things for a while now. One thing I dont like about him is how he reacts when things dont go well. Being honest and realistic is fine but to to turn things around when you have disadvantages you need to be a bit dreamer who does not get depressed but more motivated when he is the underdog.

I think Morata will ask for a transfer in summer. His problems are in his head I believe not body.

We should have gotten this guy. This is how you support your manager Borussia Dortmund's chief scout is working for Arsenal since last November.

Since you mentioned that barbecue party with prostitutes everybody wants meet you.

So we are smoking finally what Liverpool fans have been smoking for years.

It is not just hiring and sacking managers imo. Other clubs in Europe are trying to get better scouts and football directors. Roma hired Monchi from Sevilla, Real Madrid tried to bring Paratici from Juventus, Arsenal hired B.Dortmund's scout, Barcelona hired Braida from Milan, City has Begiristain and we have Roman's people. Sammer steps up when there is crisis at Bayern, who can help our first team head coaches in moment like this. No one.

The question is does he hope or want to stay? To me he seems he doesn't want to. Someone said that he has a toxic relation with Marina. I am not sure if it is just her or if we have a toxic work environment for the managers. Ancelotti wrote in his book how it was working with Roman. Of course we blamed Ancelotti here. Lets hope our con man Roman can deceive another elite manager after Conte. He is very good tricking people, but I will be really surprised if any of the names fans hope to see accepts working for him.
