Ramadel Falcao, Klaas Jan Huntelaar and Edison Cavani: Do they fit the needs of Chelsea FC?

You're probably not too far wrong mate.

If we ever find a manager who Roman trusts enough to allow him to sign players himself, that will make me a very happy Chelsea fan. But we all know there's only one man that will have these privileges. A certain Pep Guardiola.

Scolari wanted to get rid of Drogba and replace him with Adriano. Manager's should not get full control on transfer's as far as im concerned.

In fairness to Scolari, it's not as if Drogba was behaving himself was he? Scolari said he wouldn't play Drogba unless he was 100% fit, which is Ivorian seemed to not like.

Yes, that is true, but it would have been one of the biggest mistakes of our history.

I think a coach must have a big say (more than our shit board), but not a full control (like SAF and Wenger). It would make us change the dictator from the owner to the manager. I belive a healthy and respectful relation between Roman and Whoever Gets the Job is the best going foward.

Your right he wasn't but to still even consider that was lunacy, if Mata decided to rebel a bit and Rafa decided to let him go and bring in Ronaldinho instead would that be the right decision? even if Juan was playing up a bit.

You only need to look at Kenny Dalglish to see the pitfalls of giving a manager control over signing's.

Yes, that would have been disastrous. But that does not mean that every manager should have no control whatsoever over transfer. Obviously, a healthy and productive relationship between the manager and the board is required. And also an intelligent manager that knows how to build a team. Scolari's methods are questionable at best.

But like I said, that should mean that managers should have no control. There are managers out there who are idiots when it comes to transfers and there are managers who are very clever.

But we can't have it both ways. We can't complain about player-power in the dressing room & then say those causing it shouldn't be sold? But that being said I do agree overall, especially at Chelsea. If a player signs for the manager, once that manager leaves they might not necessarily play for the next manager. That relationship should be severed before it's allowed to begin.

Why can't WE ever do this

Our scouts are a fucking shambles!!!

[rant]

No, it's not our scouts' fault that we can't make buys like Malaga did with Isco. It's because our owner is like a little kid who always wants the shiniest toy out there. It's because our managers rarely get a say in our transfers. It's because some of our fans are the biggest bunch of spoiled brats who always only want the 50 million pound player, just because he has the highest attributes on FIFA, and because cheaper players are all "Liverpool quality" and taking chances on younger players would "turn us into Arsenal". It is because even when we get players like Isco who could turn out world class, we dump them on the bench for the sake of the big names in the team even when the they are much much better than the said names, as I'm sure Danial Sturridge would tell you. That, my friend, is why!
