Non-Chelsea Transfer Pub

[Ossie the King 634]

puyol retired when he was 35, JT is already 35.

he has been downright poor this season.

people remember the GC mistake for the goal, and by god, sometimes i feel like killing GC myself for making the same decision again and again. but no one remembers how easily ighalo absolutely EMBARASSED JT only for GC to make a brilliant last tackle. JT is not just past his prime, he is past a certain level.

i love JT and respect him, but we are not a retirement center.

we should be buying a first team CB next season, who along with zouma should be our pairing. our next CB should be GC, not JT. and unless he is fine with being the 4th choice (which i doubt), until then he should be let go/retire.

He's the only leader in the squad. We've lost Drogba, Lamps and Cech over the last few years and now you want us to get rid of JT?

The man is the ONLY real bit of Chelsea left. He's the only one who knows what this club is. He needs to b retained for as long as possible then join the coaching staff, maybe as head coach.

We lose him, we're losing part of our identity. Again.

retain yes, but you can't play him beyond whats sensible. we will pay the price for losing bertrand and not developing our academy players.

if he is REAL chelsea, is he willing to take the 4th CB spot for the next season? because that is the only role that he should be offered.

Not sure it works like that. He'd expect a fair crack whilst being realistic, but his personality is invaluable.

he has had a fair crack this season. we want a team that can play all out attacking football with high line. sorry, but JT is the last person we should be considering in this system. no doubting his personality, but if we are to go into a season with no european football, a different manager, a change of style and identity, i would want us to take the right step rather than an emotional one.

Who wants us to play all out attacking football with a high line? Not having a pop but who does this ideology of football belong to because I genuinely genuinely don't know?

roman, the board, majority of the fans.

the fact that we are rumored to be going all in for PEP for the 2nd time in 4 years should be fact enough.

But Roman and the board hired Jose. Then gave him a contract extension.

The fans might want that but I wouldn't say the majority do.

He has been fine. Not excellent, but fine. The fucking wheels are falling off all around him, I'm not really sure what you are expecting.

Plus as Ossie said for me he is the last bit of pure Chelsea left in the squad. Now that Jose, Drogs, Cech, Lamps are all gone I don't think we can afford to get rid of him.

they hired jose after we failed to get PEP, gave a CL winning manager an extension, fired him after 3 months and appointed the last person we would have wanted to see as a chelsea manager. also, it was not as if we were over-flowing with options. it was a marriage of convenience. in hindsight, with the kind of squad we had 3 years ago, and all that has transpired, i would say people like lionsden were right on money, saying that appointing jose was a mistake.

now we are again in for PEP.

except for the odd performance here and there, when has he had a good performance. our best CB pairing has looked zouma-GC by a light year. JT has been awful all season long, be it against city or against wba or against watford.

i am sure all of us would exchange laporte/varane/stones for JT at this moment in a heart beat.

Appointing Jose was a mistake if you don't plan on backing him. Carlo had the same treatment in summer 2010.

I think the issue is that no one knows what they want and doesn't have the patience to stick with anything. This whole thread is hilarious because it's unclear who is calling the shots. It's a shambles.

I would disagree, I think Zouma-JT was our best pairing but that's probably the blue glasses. I wouldn't, no, we need his leadership still and Varane-JT would still be the best pairing we could field imo.

Everybody. EVERYBODY was awful against City. WBA was a harsh red card and Watford the first goal was a Matic hand ball pen and the second was from memory not JT's fault...

we did not back jose?

we sold KDB and mata because he wanted a bang average player like oscar to be his no.10.

we sold lukaku cos he wanted to get a semi retired etoo as his main man.

we sold bertrand, we bought the europe's best LB in 13-14 and then sold him the next year because of his favouritism for iva.

please dont tell me we did not back him.

the person calling the shots is obviously roman. i have given you WHY i think so. there is a reason why we are in the market after the manager who apparently refused our advances so vehemently.

just 5 minutes before the goal, JT got owned by ighalo only for GC to come in and put a brilliant tackle and save his ass. and it was not just one occassion.

where has his leadership been this whole season? leadership is important when the leader himself is performing and leading from the front.

We weakened the squad in the summer. That's what I meant by not backing him.

Those other decisions led to us building a title winning squad that had the potential to go further. Instead we didn't improve it. That defender you wanted is to get, we didn't.

As for the shot caller being Roman, that is not a good thing in my opinion and until it changes, we won't achieve what we probably should.

how did we weaken the squad? we had the same exact squad. jose's opinion for improving the squad was 100+million pogba and 50+mil stones.

give that money to any manager in the world and he would get you titles.

we did not weaken our squad in the summer, we weakened it in the summer and winter before that by selling some of our best prospects. we made a short sighted PL winning team of a very very weak PL.

Exact same squad in terms of numbers but lost motel hugely influential figures in Cech and Drogba. Pedro was probably the only upgrade.

Stones wasn't going to cost £50 million until we messed Everton around either. But that's the price of continual success in modern football. It's why City will probably win the league and get Pep next season too.
