Thank the heavens. I would have lost all hope for this club if they offloaded the guy who solved our striker crisis. He's world class and the fact he still got 17 goals despite the fact the team struggled to create a goal scoring chance from open play in the first half of the season is impressive itself. Not to mention so many of those goals earned us wins/draws.

He's a cunt, but a good player so happy he's staying

3 red cards this season, get in Diego!

Just being realistic. Squad was weak last season, team finished in a deserved 10th place. Do you believe that suddenly this team will get a top 4 finish when all we got days before the start of the season is Kante and Batixuai. Being realistic is the best thing to do. Getting a 7th place at the end of the season is a real possibility. 

did you believe we could go from champions to 10th? Did you believe leicester could go from 14th to being champions?

Conte took over a weak juve team which had been struggling with back to back 7th place finishes and transformed them into dominating champions in serie a. If the players put their heads down and embrace all that conte has to offer, there is no reason it can't happen with us too. Not saying we'll win the league but I honestly expect us to be up there and battling it out with the manchester clubs

Nonsense. Hazard alone will carry us to Top 4 like he did in the 2 previous seasons.

Still head scratching that we'd be after Lukaku whilst keeping Costa.

Yeah i don't get it either. I mean going after Lukaku when it seemed like we were going to sell Costa atleast made some sense as we'd be trying to replace him with another goalscorer.

But now that Costa's staying we already have Costa, Batshuayi and Hazard for the 2 striker positions with the likes of Remy and Traoré as cover.

That's more then enough so why the desperation to sign Lukaku ?

Money and kalidoubhali whatever his name is will do. 

If we get a deal like that and then buy lukaku I will not be as mad. Because we sold Costa for a good price and got a defender.

They've bought Milik to fill the Higuain void. I expect it's the usual newpaper BS.

I'm picturing Diego in Napoli

I wonder who's the moron working in the club that actually wants Lukaku?

It doesn't matter if that's Conte, Roman or my mother. Whoever wants to bring Lukaku here is an idiot and should rethink their view/skills  on football (I just won't say get sacked because there's a chance it's Conte who wants him, and he's new here, but we've been doing horrible deals for a while now)

Atletico won't win shit next season since they are chokers. They had 2 glorious chances to win CL but failed miserably both times. 

 

We got a great chance of winning domestic silverware without European distractions. You get more than twice as much money for winning EPL than for winning the CL anyway. I think a top four finish + an FA and/or COC is within reach. Our rivals as of yet have only purchased hugely overpriced, overhyped players who will not drastically improve their first team. Our 2 major signings so far have been very sensible and greatly enhanced our chances of winning titles next season. If we can impove our defense, which I am sure Conte will, with or without signing new players, we can beat any team in the country on our day. 

People were saying the same shit about Atletico in 2014, and made it into the finals again this season. Any player in the world would trade a PL trophy for a CL one, so your comparison about money doesn't make any sense.

We don't any chance of winning the PL this season with the current squad, you are fooling yourself if you think a team with Azpi, Terry, Cahill and Ivanovic at the back 4 can even finish in the top 4 this season. With the current team a realistic finish is between 6th and 7th.

Conte took over a "weak Juve" in a weak Serie A. We are talking about a Premier League here. The current situation is really bad, and we need at least 2 seasons to even think about "battling it out" with Manchester clubs.

Hazard is only 1 player. He cant be at every side of the pitch. This team is not good enough for a top 4 finish. Period. At least 3 more players are needed. Real players, not those ones who would be sent on loan.

Tell De Laurentis to pay up 150m or fuck off. Give him a taste of his own medicine.
