To me, this actually feels like signing a new player

We still have Marina, Buck and Cahill.

Marina! 

[Fernando 6,484]

Best news in a while! 

Next up is Marina. 

Although she might stay there for another season. 

Just get someone like Drogba in there! 

Like Juventus did by bringing Nedvěd in

I wonder if he 'found' Azpilicueta though, because we were going through a shaky period then, so surely he was in charge of transfers. If he chose him, for whatever reason, some credit goes to him.

I think Azpi was an AVB target in January 2012 and we went for him after missing out on Van der Wiel.

And now I'm cringing at the thought of having VDW instead of our current vice-captain!

[Leif 6,006]

Another valid reason for wanting him gone, simply, is for a fresh start. Every club needs fresh renewal at times. And I don't understand how it could be argued he's worth keeping for that fresh start - I wouldn't be able to rationalise anybody's worry regarding him leaving; obviously we can only get someone more qualified in. We don't lose quality with this. We don't lose the ability to attract or pay top players, do we? 

We can only upgrade in quality, if his position is given to somebody else. How is that not worth celebrating? We celebrate upgrading players - why not him? Because he's 'nice'? That's called an Arsenal mentality.

Andrea Pirlo confirms his retirement after final New York City game

I wonder if we are putting Pirlo for that role?

One completely unqualified guy for the job, to a even less qualified player for the job. Nah.

Yeah true, we need to get people like what Roma got.

U don't need to be qualified to do that job you need somebody who can draw talent players in pirlo is great role model and an icon why not giving it to someone like him

I think the most accurate post regarding all of this comes from a user on CFCNet.

 - Interesting news. Personally, I’m not a critic of Emenalo. Likewise, I find it hard to praise him for what is the easiest job in football. Let’s be honest here, the guy has probably taken a lot of unfair stick, but I would say unjust praise too. With a considerable budget in hand, it’s not difficult to spot talented players who fit the blueprint of what the club are looking for. Anyone who watches football on a regular basis can spot these players when working to a specific club strategy. I could list numerous players I have flagged on here before they broke through, so whilst it’s in interesting in the potential power play in club hierarchy. His achievements both good and bad would be overrated in both aspects. -

Walter Sabatini?? 

[Sideshow Luiz 2,310]

This is shocking news.  I wonder what it was that actually made this happen.

How greedy is Marina, she fuckes up each summer deals but doesn't even have the dignity to resign. 

Why would she? She's recently overseen the Nike deal with the club and is the head negotiator. I don't think she's done anything wrong at the moment. The reason we are not paying 100m for players is because Roman isn't spending like he used to, not because of Marina's negotiating.

He's working for Inter now, so not him. I do wonder whether Antonio will have a say in who comes in.

So public enemy number 1 in the eyes of many internet CFC fans has left his post. Sure you're all delighted.

I don't get the negativity towards him. I think he did very well bringing in players like Courtois, KdB, Morata and Kante. The Papy and Hector deals don't really matter since they haven't stunted our growth as a club at all!

Hopefully we get someone who can do as well as he did, preferably even better!

Also. Many of you won't remember, but he actually convinced Neymar to come to Chelsea when he was at Santos. Santos president had to do everything he could to convince him to stay.
