KDB valuation would of never been 35m at chelsea.... Just like how Juan Mata would of never been valuated so high if he was on a different team besides chelsea...

Salah has performed much better than shaqiri in the italian league... goodluck to salah, however, I doubt he will be a chelsea player in the future.

workrate is needed. Cesc set piece ability is about 10 levels better than anyone else besides maybe luis, who doesn't start. If pogba comes, pogba set peice ability is very good as well and long ball abililty. Pogba would replace cesc and ramires would be the workhorse in the middle for jose.

When/if pogba comes, who will be the odd man out than?

I think the league is over... 3rd and 4th spot will be interesting..

Atletico, unlike barcelona and madrid can't score against shit teams for some reason.

KDB won't get the high...

and when pogba comes, cesc will be dropped from big games and than this board will say the same about cesc...

When did I ever talk about loving barcelona or bayern? I said Jose doesn't have an identity in terms of playstyle going forward and I used a quote by thierry henry stating his most important speech he heard from a manager was concerning identity and playing football.

Never said pep was....

Good. That means pogba is still possible or varane.

Your telling me Jose never played conservatively? Because I said Jose isn't the perfect manager? ok.

Closet united fan you are!

true, but Im not a big fan of fergie play style as well or united in general.

To me, Jose excels at 2 things. mentality and positioning. It's one thing to park the bus with a subpar chelsea team a few seasons back against munich and barca, but its another thing to park the bus and play very conservatively against shit teams in the epl... When you have the quality that this team possesses now, you shouldn't be playing conservatively.

How is that speech stupid? barcelona during the pep era played a specific style of football. Players joined barcelona so they can played that style of football. Henry, even though was outcasted to the wings, still stayed on for barca because of that style of football and pep. Mario Gotze could of went elsewhere in a bigger contract, but went to munich for pep. Offensive players love winning, but they love playing specific football. At real madrid, a lot of the players turned their backs on jose because of his philosophy on football. SO, honestly, I would be surprised if Jose stayed on chelsea long term.

Doesn't take rocket scientist to understand that you can win trophies sitting back and parking the bus and countering... When a manager like RDM takes probably one of the worst overall chelsea teams in the premier league era and wins both the champion league and fa cup....

And that manager that led that night got sacked a season later.... And the Captain was suspended as well.. RDM won 2 trophies and was still sacked a season later... And how many of those players are on the starting 11 for chelsea now?

10000x better than mikel. ramires can cover for cesc adequately, mikel on the other hand would make cesc work like a dog... Mikel is useful in one thing.. Being another body for parking the bus.

Start mikel, and Cesc will never see the ball... Cesc will get overrun and Cesc will be essentially ineffective...

ramires is a better option.

As long as Mikel doesn't start I will be content..

Jose to me can't be the perfect manager. Jose is a manager that only cares about results. Not long term progression nor youth team acclimation. Don't know who the best manager currently is, but one quote from Thierry Henry is the reason why I can never accept Jose as the best manager. Barça have an identity. The most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard from a coach was Guardiola’s talk before the 2009 Champions League final. He said: “Guys, all I want is that, at the end of the game, people tell me that Barça played football. The only thing I don’t want us to lose tonight is our identity. Have a good game.” And that was that.

People think because a shit team like sunderland can beat chelsea means the league is balanced, but in reallity, it just means that people in England tolerate parking the bus on a consistent basis and play a lot more conservatively, now because of the so called quality these lower teams have... Best teams going forward are still not in England.

Where are these links.. Man City never went for Kevin. They already had yaya, fernandino and fernando on their squad. Also, kdb would not be an improvement from nasri on the current squad. People forget how good nasri was before he joined city. Bayern as well never went for Kevin. Munich already have a hard time finding playing time for all their midfielders, their is no way they would invest more money in a position not of need. Liverpool I can understand and PSG, like Real never seem to buy due to need. Still think the perfect team for Kevin is Liverpool and would essentially replace everything Gerrard did when he was younger (except physically).
