This Salzburg team looks really good. I wonder how a schemer like Minamino would work in the Premier League now

Has also been linked to Everton.

Has also been linked to Everton. 

I'd presume he still has a property in London from his time with us, so it would make more sense.

Don't think he would be London-sick like Mourinho was at Man United. Depends on which mess he would like to take. Could end up having Ancelotti vs Lampard later this month!

We could be facing manager with a Chelsea connection every other month at this rate (Mou, Benitez/Ancelotti & Rodgers).

I would lay wager Ancelotti goes to Arse, and with our luck, somehow Poch ends up at Manure eventually

Ajax not qualifying to knockout must be a blow to them

[MoroccanBlue 5,296]

Ajax and Salzburg dropping down to Europa will make things tougher for Arsenal and United. 

Just saw that Ziyech miss. Been the story of his life sadly. He's bottled it twice for us in the AFCON when he had the chance to win it.

Ancelotti is not exactly a strong manager when it comes to league football. Won't be concerned too much long term if he goes to Arsenal.

Also, can Ancelotti even sort out the mess there? If you look at his past clubs, he's always better when there is already a structure in place and the club just need the manager to keep things ticking.

Conte's European record is dreadful. 

Suspect he won't care much about the Europa League and will throw all the eggs into the Serie A basket.

the one time he dropped down with Juve (2014) to the EL

they had 3 goals disallowed, and if any one of them had been counted, they would have been in the final v Sevilla on away goals (plus Oblak was insane in that game, earned him a transfer to Atletico, where he became now the number 1 GK in the world IMHO)
