There is a lot of tension between Inter Milan and Mauro Icardi as the nerazzurri would like to sell him before tomorrow's deadline but the Argentine has been refusing to leave (he is even ready to sue Inter). Inter Milan fans have now 'threatened' Icardi as they wrote a message and exposed it right next to his house. They wrote: 'Icardi, it's too much now, Milano is a small place...'.

Madrid looked horrific last night, absolute all over the shop.

The team and transfer policy looks massively disjointed and looks like they might Bruno Fernandes before the deadline.

Lukaku scored the winner yesterday for Inter, Inter is top of the table atm. Conte has already utterly transformed them, totally different team one would think. He is just class, he really was the one manager we had that could fight with klopp and pep, fucking shame it had to end......typical Chels I guess.

Yeah Conte was class.

Best manager we had after Mourinho Mark 1.

Because Mourinho Mark 2.....

But yeah what a crap board we have. And yet they continue with their jobs......

You said it my man......now we know some will come soonish and say Conte was this and that, that he was his own enemy etc. But I'll say WE fucked him up. Instead of giving him good players and show we are here to back a title winning manager we utterly screwed him. Imo he was the one to lead us. You watch Inter now, they will only get better, I for one would not look forward meeting them in CL. Not because they have a better team, but cuz of Conte. He would tactically school Lamps all day.

Conte is smart. I said it before in the past that Mourinho had this too. But as ages past by your not able to think fast and as well his ego gets in the way.

Lampard is a noob, but Lampard is also smart This season it might be up and down, but he's also an interesting manager.

Remember that Conte before coming to Chelsea he had some good experience as management.

To me Mourinho mark 1 and Conte have been some of the most astute managers we had combine with the charisma.

But if Lampard get it's right he can easily follow the steps of Conte. Might take a season or two, let's just hope....

Edit: and he's a fast learner and adaptable Lampard, I think about the game against a genius tactician like Bielsa. Got schooled at the beginning but after a few games he adapted. That is very interesting to me.

Ohh for sure.......Lamps has it in his locker to lead us, plus he gets us. I just hope he gets it right, I hope the board backs him.

Yes I too enjoyed Conte, we were such a unit. And he clicked instantly with us.

Yeah if Lampard can get it like Conte, then I think he will the best ever.

Why? Because of his history with us, his charisma, his leadership and because he gives youth a chance.

If Lampard can make it as a manager for us, then we are in for a treat.

If we are a clear 3rd or 4th in the EPL, then yes, would love a run in the CL

but I want CL NEXT year

after we have reloaded

and an EL win is probably the easiest path

PLUS

we get another shot at that damn Super Cup

feels great to already have that trophy in our cabinet, thank you Poyet.

Aint that the fucking truth my man.....filled with them....and not much loyalty any more. THey kiss the badge one day and 4months later they kiss another. Kissing the badge means something, its not a gimmick to get the house on your side and score cheap pts.
