some of the posters here are downright embarrassing... it's like our board is an embarrassment for not throwing an extra 20M straight away when a bid is rejected. Some of the spoiled fans here are a bad look for our club, sad.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Also wanted to mention that a lot of you guys are over reacting I feel. Of course I would love Koulibaly too but i think people forget that we have one of the best young CBs to come back to our line-up in zouma... conte can make our defence viable with those 3 (jt, zouma and cahill) i believe, in a worst case scenario Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

so much garbage in one post, not even worth going through Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

that's a daily mirror report... probably can't count that as "official" yet

he's an unbelievable manager and I have infinite respect for what he did for us but a part of me can't help but be happy he will be creating controversies and acting in a classless manner (at times) for our rivals and not us. Like others have said here, I can't, for the life of me, see him lasting more than 3 years there...

did you believe we could go from champions to 10th? Did you believe leicester could go from 14th to being champions? Conte took over a weak juve team which had been struggling with back to back 7th place finishes and transformed them into dominating champions in serie a. If the players put their heads down and embrace all that conte has to offer, there is no reason it can't happen with us too. Not saying we'll win the league but I honestly expect us to be up there and battling it out with the manchester clubs

hopefully this is similar to when drogba sulked in his early chelsea career and even wanted out. However if he continues to sulk and does not put in the effort conte wants from him between now and end of august, maybe selling him would be best...

really hope its not a case of lukaku coming in and costa leaving... there aren't really any great strikers on the market apart from him though as far as I know.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

they have phoney sponsorships with various UAE companies worth hundreds of millions of dollar, purposefully over inflated amounts which are in reality not really for the sponsorships but rather a way for the abudabi royalty to fund their team "legally"... although now that ffp seems to be over, they could just do the cash injections directly but it looks better presented under the guise of sponsorships Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

yeah that is true, doing business early is always a great plus for the team but remember, this is his mourinho's first season at united after they've been shit for a while... also i'm not certain a 35yr old zlatan will be THAT amazing for them, i'm kind of glad they got him and not someone like higuain for example. Also, conte imo is a top 3 manager in the world at the moment and i'm sure he is discussing/building our team with the board as we speak, trying to get players in... if we gets the players he wants by the end of summer, i believe that even if we will be a bit late on other teams like utd (in terms of team building), our lack of european football will greatly help conte in terms of having extra time during weekdays to tinker and make the team click (something no other major rival will have except us)... having all week to prep for our premier league/cup games should be a great asset to conte i think Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

have faith! wait until the end of the summer until making predictions like this, we got kante and I'm sure we're not finished yet.... and tbh, at the moment, i have more faith in conte than jose

So i guess you are surprised? (60 million euros = 50.5 million pounds) Costa Chronicles: Chelsea reject €60m bid; warn Atlético over aggressive public pursuit

agreed, their man guy cerezo or whatever his name is, is a disgrace, total buffoon...

costa is worth more than 50M£... we're getting morata quoted at 65M£ and some of you think costa isn't even worth 50? lolll Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

fuck yessss!!!!!! was getting scared this whole thing had died out

yes they are, but that was a week ago and now seemingly the situation may have changed with real wanting him too... telegraph were reporting he wanted to stay in england and preferred chelsea out of all his available options, hopefully this is still true

yes we have, the telegraph a few pages back

If conte is the one pushing for this, that would put my mind at ease... if it's the board doing it against conte's wishes, then that's another story. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

exactly! just to emphasize that costa isn't leaving: Diego Costa '100 per cent' staying at Chelsea to be part of new revolution under Antonio Conte -Telegraph

hopefully: witsel to replace mikel kante to replace ramires

are you sure about that? I'm asking because I haven't seen any telegraph links posted here (can't google it because i'm afraid i'll spoil the result of the france iceland game) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

disagree with you there, guys. He's the type of player who shines most when you watch him play and see all the little useful things he does rather than analyze his stats... I would definitely not call him average but that's just me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

willian average?
