You think Conte would that to every striker that he has on bench. He appreciates mobile strikers with ball skills. That's why Batsuhayi is not getting time and I don't think we'll sign Lukaku.

That doesn't make any sense or Costa wouldn't be playing (that much).

Can we stop comparing to barca? And Pep? And his type of players? And spanish silky technical players?

As far I know Pep did fuckall without his barca team that was amazing and cant be built again. 

Not to mention we play in England. If we played in spain or even germany ok. But we dont. You need players that can last whole season in high tensity. You need Lampards and not Xavis. You need Essiens and not Iniestas.

 

Okay. Well, there's more than one way to skin a cat. City are hot on our tail, with a 5'7 winger and a 5'9 one, while we're debating 2 players here being 5'8 & apparently not big enough for the PL. Liverpool's wingers are 5'7 & 5'9. Then we've got United who've turned on the heat in the league via Mata, a 5'6 player on the wing. In terms of teams who're doing better than everyone else in the Champions League this season, the dilapidated and Pep-less Barcelona line up with a 5'7 & 5'9 winger. Atletico's wingers are 5'8. Bayern deploy 5'7 Ribery on one side & 5'7 Douglas Costa on the other. 

And what's given you the impression Bernardo Silva can't last a whole season in high intensity? And why on earth would we need Lampards and Essiens when we're talking about wingers, and already have the likes of Matic/Kante/Alonso and engines all over? 

Sounds like you want us to be Stoke, and that you think only Stokes can win the league now. It seems you'd rather flat-track physically bully teams to a title than enjoy the beautiful game being played how it's supposed to be played, with feet. That's just sad. We'd be the only top team latching onto that insane anti-football mentality.

And who would play instead of Costa?

Hazard, Pedro or Michy. We've played without a pure striker before this season and done well, so it's not like Conte doesn't have options to field a mobile and skillful player up front.

Really impressed me against Man City x2. would slot nicely into our Right wing for 343 or top of a 352 midfield. Gives us another hazard on the other side and also a backup creative force if hazard does move on eventually. Would be absolutely thrilled to sign him in the summer. Wizard on the ball. I am not worried about the height at all, to not sign an attacking player with his skill level cause he is a couple inches shorter than someone deems essential is ludicrous in my mind.

I can't imagine what some people were thinking before we signed Kante. Probably that we should've signed N'Zonzi instead for his physical presence or something, as if stamina, pace and agility aren't all aspects of physical presence, which both Kante & Silva have in droves more than their peers.

Been saying it for ages, a lot from that's Monaco team would start here. French league/talent in general is so full of talent. It'd be stupid to miss out. Found this on twitter the other day, talent depth is ridiculous:

Yet they didn't win the EURO 2016.

But yeah...France got some players.

A lot of those players didn't make the squad for EURO16. And they still made the final which they really should've won.

Silva has said that he would like to play in England or Spain.

" Its good to see your name linked with big clubs. One day, i wanna play in Spain or in England, at one of the best leagues in the world. But for now i am very happy at Monaco"

100% leaving Monaco this summer, i love Pedro, but we would be absolute retards to let him join another club.

You are missing my point. Its not about height. Lemar is not big either and I would take him in second. Besides Bayern first choice is Robben, not Costa. Sane from city is 6'0.

Also, I said to look at premier league, since we dont play in spain. Barca can play with 4'0 players for all I care. They dont play in england which sets different standards. 

And you talk of Mata? Come on, he is good little player, but not good enough for big team because of his poor off the ball contribution.

I hope that Kante dig wasnt pointed at me, because then you are missing the point. 

We play already with Kante who I love. To a point I prefer him over 95% midfielders out there. But we cant play with another small guy next to him. 

If we didnt have Eden, I would kill to have Silva. But since we already have similar player, I would prefer different TYPE. Nothing to do with height. Sanchez aint tall. Neither is Lamar. Both seem to fit here much more than Silva. 

And come on with Stoke. We never played fancy football. We were always a very very rich version of stoke with much better quality players. Much better. But during past 10 years, we were parking buses left and right and only attacked when we needed goals. And under Ancelotti. 

Im not sure why you follow Chelsea then if you are so desperate for beautiful football, because we didnt play it since Mou came. Well definition of beautiful is hard to say, I think we play beautiful because we fought till end, we were effificent etc. But beautiful on eye as you want it, no we didnt. 

And btw, I dont want tall players who can only hoof the ball and tackle. Again you are missing the point big time. Monaco has two defending mids in middle, two powerful fullbacks, and they play absolutely beautiful. You dont need Veratti for that. And their Silva is our Hazard if you want. 

Take a look where was golden era of english football and what happend once we tried to play barca style. City arsenal underachieved in europe. Arsenal even in prem. You talk of Liverpool. Yes they are doing fucking great job, good example...

Just because I would take Lemar, Sanchez, Vidal, Bakayoko etc over Silva, Verratti (who is one of my fav non chelsea players, just think other type suits us better), doesnt mean I want to play hoof and pray football. 

But for your info, we can have 5 Verrattis and 5 Silvas, when we play Bayern, Real, Barca, you can bet we will park the bus 9 times out of 10. Its Chelsea DNA.

And we already are only top team latchin on that "anti football" mentality for quite a while. And guess what. We are fucking great at that. I love watching the club for 10 years and I love how we do it the old fashion way when all the rest of world hates us and we prove them wrong. 

You got Paris and City and Arsenal who try to be nice. Ask any neutral fan what they think of them? Overrated fancy players who do fuck all when it counts. Only Chelsea gives a little bit of fear these days to any of other big teams fans. 

Only successful teams that play fancy football are Real, Barca and Bayern. Bayern had great generation of players, now they have top talents from their own league, chelsea cant get top talents from Prem because prem doesnt have any top talents we could buy. As for real and barca, you are a fool if you think we can beat them at their game. They got more money, more fame and alot more experience playing nice attacking football. 

Ffs when will people accept we are Chelsea and we play the way we play? Yes fancy football is attractive as long its not tiki taka, but the club is not build for that. 

And if right now I had chance to pick either barca style or our 2005 style for next 10 years, I prefer the later anytime. 

The reason I supported Chelsea was because I loved english football and lets stick to it. We are losing the identity already with as little english players we have. Spanish diving cunts can stay where they are.

Seriously, some of you would sell all the honour just so you can get Neymar and watch his diving shit left and right.
