It's been a slow transition since around 2010. Fans would be wise to adjust their expectations to this new reality. We'll see what goals the club will set after the new stadium has been erected. If you want more water to your mill : the academy and loan system. Most people believe that we have an army of loanies because of mismanagement and because we do not know how — or whatsoever, anyway — to introduce them in the first team. That is not the case : people need to realize that loaning them is the very purpose of our academy and the very purpose behind buying dozens of average youngsters. Chelsea has become a thrid-party owner institution, just as Joorabchian and co. That is why we buy players whom we know pertinantly will never play for us or have any impact — that is why we still have on our books Rémy, Piazon (!!!!!!), Thomas Kalas, Hector, etc. We are loaning them as we would with bikes or cars. The real question is, though — does Abramovich want to make money for the sake of making money or is he locked in his modern-businessman cognitive software and cannot think past it ?

akgw13 867 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I have officially joined the Anti-Board team. They have beaten me down with their "links" and "Monitoring" we have sold/released 13 players (not including Costa) and brought in 4. 4! At this point I will be happy with a top 4 finish and getting out of our CL group. How we managed in one summer to ruin all momentum from last years title winning team is beyond frustrating. @Fernando I did say by Mid-August i would change my tune if something hasnt been done. I was so excited for the year now I am thoroughly discouraged. I always tried to stay positive and hopeful but they beat it out of me. I hate to post one of the complaining messages as I usually am the one saying to relax. Sorry all, now if you'll excuse me while I Supermonkey92 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! Johnnyeye 7,517 Posted August 16, 2017 Popular Post! Share Posted August 16, 2017 im not expecting anything to be honest, im not going to get my hopes high anymore, with each passing week nothing changes. When Matuidi gets sold to Juventus for 18 million and we are after Drinkwater for 40 million, this is where i draw the line.

mccg 1,528 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 If the board were a little bit more transparent in their strategy in relation to our transfer dealings in and out(August 16th a little bit late to keep things hush hush from others lol) surely that would help manager,players+fans a tad.

Zolan025 21 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 The board aren't interested in bring anyone in. There is definitely a lack of urgency coming from them which can only means that they have told Conte that nobody else will be added to the squad. It seems to me that our club maybe concerned about our net spend in balancing the books. Just wonder if they are taking the Arsenal route in saving and generating money in order to build the Stadium. Everything we are doing seems to mirror what Arsenal did for 8 years. It been noticeable that Roman has barely even been mentioned in all of this. Remember that estimates currently put our Stadium build at 600 million. Johnnyeye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milan 17,964 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Today's victory should in no way make the board feel we are okay. We absolutely still need more signings so hopefully the board will deliver them. Tautvix, King11Didier and Beigl 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope the same, although from Conte's latest words, it sounded like he has accepted his fate and he is not expecting any new signings. You know, you can't be dissapointed if you don't expect anything, I should probably start doing the same Tautvix 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't remember how shady their purchase of Neymar was. They fucked Santos royally in that deal (guess they now wish they sold him to us when they could huh?).
