Fulham Broadway 17,745 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Sentimentality aside, it's fantastic to have 3 former Chelsea players (Newton is meant to be re-joining the first team staff), plus Joe Edwards who was in our youth team running things. Edwards in particular is one to watch-out for, this is quite interesting (from a few years ago). Look at the players he's known and worked with since they were 7/8... https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/meet-joe-edwards-29-year-old-mastermind-behind-chelseas-youth-team-success Bosnian Blue, OneMoSalah, Superblue and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! Superblue 6,372 Posted July 5, 2019 Popular Post! Share Posted July 5, 2019 Trying to set aside the emotional and sentimental aspect of Lampard's appointment, I'm very excited for the set-up and foundations the club seem to be setting up here.ย Forget the transfer ban for a minute, because the club could 'get by' for a season with the squad we already have at the club, but with spiralling transfer fees it is vital that the club creates a philosophy and foundation that gets some of these academy boys breaking into the first team squad. We can no longer build our squad entirely through the transfer market like previous years for a number of reasons (transfer fee inflation. FFP, increased competition). The club had a taste last season seeing RLC and CHO break through, it proved that with a platform some of these players are good enough to break through. It also showed the added excitement and vibrancy of the crowd seeing their own academy players playing and playing well for the club. In Christensen, RLC and CHO based on current transfer fees we have well over ยฃ100m of talent there straight out of our academy, and there's plenty more to be unearthed. I just hope the club holds its nerve in this. Its not a quick fix, but whilst City and Liverpool are seemingly fairly well ahead of the rest of the pack at present its definitely the right time to do this for a couple of seasons and lay a foundation which could help shape and create the next chapter of success for our club.

Don't think he'll have Kante in that more advanced position Sarri had him in.

Laylabelle 9,727 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Lovely bookies already have odds on him being sacked...ย Ready for this season now. Don't expect miracles but considering we finished 9th with a experienced manager.. Who knows what happen.

MoroccanBlue 5,399 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I think the midfield will be unchanged. Was working well towards the latter of the season.ย Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When has there been a decent English manager since Brian Clough, and how long ago was that.

manpe 10,861 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I have a good feeling about Lamps. I know I'm biased as I have a man crush on him since 2005ย ย But even if he wasn't ourย deity, I'd still feel he is intelligent enough to do well at anything he chooses to. Can't wait for the first games, don't think I've ever been moreย excited of a season's start... ever, despite all the doom surrounding the club. bigbluewillie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atomiswave 6,120 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Welcome home Frank........finally your back, may you become for us what Fergie was for utd. Lamps will demand maximum effort from everyone, as he always gave his maximum in games and training. He is also a good motivator I think. I for one very excited he is our manager. Good luck to all of us and keep that flag flying high. bigbluewillie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
