Easy implement youth from the academy.

Have patience on them like he does for Ivanovic.....

Owner with a track record of being impatient during lean spells,a coach who is also impatient..they will need to be in a mutual agreement with making an effort to integrate RLC,Solanke,Baker etc... or it's not gonna be so easy and with some english not ready and foreign "homegrowns" more ready in some cases. And Jose possibly fighting to save his job..Fergie and Wenger were safe in their jobs to survive the odd bad year.

I think most of the regulars at games would support it, i'd probably take a break from chelsea forums for a few years tho..some fans expect constant success and ,want huge money transfers and see 3 rd or 4th as not ever acceptable and i can't be bothered with that.

Stones i think and hope will remain a target,he's more ahead than our own english at this point and he fits the bill as somebody to build around where as some of the other english lads we already have there are still doubts in where to best play them. Josh never really had a defined position for us for an example.even if he had been nurtured properly.

RLC the nearest but still a learning curve ahead.

Not asking to put in 4 or 5.

But 2 would be a nice start.

Just by having time and patience in 2 like he has done for players like Oscar, and recently bad performers like Ivan is not much to ask.

But no Mourinho rather criticize the younger player then say a bad word about the older folks like Ivan.....

[empire of emotions 247]

Tbf that squad look pretty full, who would you leave out for him? maybe Traore but then we/Mou will be accused of favoring too many defenders. Essentially it is down to this guy vs Traore and we can't afford 5 mid for 3 positions vs 7 defenders for 4 with 4 of our current defenders can play CB as well anyway.

maybe ivanovic. even if theres no rb in our squad. you cant tell the difference between ivanovic at rb and no player at rb

I've been saying the same things as you are saying since i joined 5 years ago and before in other places. Just pointing out the fact that those who makes the calls don't have a history of giving youth a chance. At present we have atleast RLC on the fringes. Some Foreign kids with potential too.all we can do is see how it pans out. Wouldn't mind some of the deadweights like ramires,mikel and ivanovich having niggly injury problems.i believe in Oscar.not consistent but a key player when on form,gives us something we lacking.but i'm heading to bed now so leave it at that for tonight.

Its kinda sad that he has been left out of CL squad.

Sometimes I worry how we deal with the players. Even if he wasnt Mou buy, it will be disgrace if he will ignore him or threat him differently. After all that is the worst thing you can do. Show him some trust and maybe he will perform better than expected.

Also why is there no interview with him yet?

Sure we should get past the group and then we can include Papy in CL squad for knockout stages if he performs well in PL.

[Special Juan 27,457]

I actually think the board, Mourinho and others actually think everything is alright.

[El P. 1,354]

Traore shoud be left out, no doubt. It's not like him AND Kenedy will be needed. We'll be lucky if we only see Kenedy in action.

Papy is needed, whatever you think, especially if we want to play high block. Can easily be better than Cahill, time will tell.

Who cares if Mourinho didn't want him, now you have him and do best with your squad, coach. When life gives you lemons, make a lemonade.

EDIT: Notice that this is the squad ONLY for group stages. If he proves himself in EPL, he will have a chance for a knock-out.

Passive-aggressive move by José - he clearly didn't want the player.

Leaving Papy out for Traore who probably won't be seen again until he leaves for Vitesse in January haha.

[Bacika 188]

We are short.of.defenders..just 6 defenders for 4 positions...we'll get in trouble if someone got injured..

I fail to see how a 10 minute cameo has placed Kenedy ahead of Traore to so many of the people on this forum.

Traore scored something like 20 goals last season, and was only behind depay in terms of attacking in the netherlands last year.

If anybody should be left out of the CL squad between those two it should be Kenedy. He should have to prove himself in a European league the same way Traore has first.

Traore, Kenedy, doesn't matter. Don't know who is better from two, honestly, but yes, better should play.

[Clockwork 1,794]

I have no problem with this decision. Mou decided to pick players he has seen practiced on a regular basis over a player he has never seen or heard of.

What is up with sad or unfair crap? I would probably feel much worse for Traore or Kenedy if they were left out. Imagine your manager picking a player he has never seen or heard over you? Pretty devasting and unjustifiable decision. Especially Mou who is quite big on training or practices.

I have a quite of bits of anti Mou posts, I honestly can't fault him for this. Not like he has ostracized this fellow or Malouda him, he decided to pick players he trust and heard of. Nothing wrong with this.

[Melanicus 5,208]

Okay, what the fuck is this?

Of course this guy wasn't our first, neither second, neither third choice probably. Maybe he isn't a Chelsea quality. Maybe Mourinho didn't want him here at all.

But fuck me, how we have treated this guy is a fucking disgrace. Ignoring him completely, like he isn't even there. No photos of him holding jersey on official instagram, no interview on Chelsea TV, nothing. Like he doesn't even exist.

Leaving him out of the CL squad, knowing one of the main factors he has joined us was being part of CL team and that it was his biggest dream. I understand Mourinho doesn't know him and that he hasn't trained with the team yet. This is probably a right thing to do (still, he can't be worse than Ivanovic), but still the treatment of Djilo was awful.

Hell, we don't even know what his number is.

Maybe he isn't your dream central back, I understand. But support this guy nevertheless, I'm sure he wants to do only his best for the team.

Djilo gets the No.15 shirt - http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2015/09/djilobodji-takes--15.html

Everything thing the club does atm , is wrong and disappointing. He probably regrets the move already.

Isn't he on international duty right now? Maybe that's why there hasn't been any presentation or interview with him yet.

This thread is seriously getting funny it has to be said. Last week, everyone was moaning how we are signing some average defender from one of the lesser Ligue 1 clubs and now, people are complaining about him being left out of the Champions League squad.

I've never complained about signing this guy.
