Who is this twat?

 

No wonder 7/10 players leaving PL talk about the huge media pressure in England.

Journalists, pundits etc. would do everything to have the best players/managers in this league just to make them look miserable afterwards.

Happening everywhere I do agree, but I think it's on another level in the UK. 

They kept talking shite for weeks about Conte being at swords with the board - the next day he signs an improved contract.

Now supposedly the players are unhappy with him... 

Me as a fan get so annoyed about this. What about Conte? He's been a class act last season, but I think this season we will see him more distant from the media, maybe even picking some fights with them throughout the season.

I don't understand, last four years we made bad signings late in August once and good signing's 3 times. Why do you think it will be like the one time instead of the three?

Amazing so now we need to give credit to the board for Conte's brilliance in the last year.

Well is not just me, but Conte and many pundits are picking this narrative:

 

Chelsea looking ill-equipped after a summer of stagnation

Antonio Conte’s squad appears thin, with new signings merely replacing departed players, while Diego Costa remains in limbo

When conte was hire by Chelsea he was named has head coach not manager of Chelsea something tells me he has no control in signing players which I find wrong and I wouldn't be surprised if conte was to quit our club the way things are looking I think it's going to happening soon or later conte hinted he wanted matic to stay if that's the case who sold matic?? There's a cancer in our club that needs to go and I think it's a board member off our club and we all know who that is I'll probably be called the R for saying this it's Michael Emenalo #EmenaloOut #HireDrogba

4 In

30 Out (Including Baker)

Bit misleading, only 6 departees were part of the first team squad and 4 have been replaced.

Cuadrado, Begovic, RLC, Chalobah, Matic, Aina, Zouma, Traore. 

From my count, it's 8 players who were part of the first team squad at Chelsea (last season or previous seasons).

People crying out for depth...we had depth (Chalobah for CM/DM, Cuadrado for RW/RWB, Traore for ST/Wing) but the club preferred not to keep these players.

Yeah not going to last. 

Thank you board. 

[Tautvix 1,321]

Who's next?

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Feel for him. 

Betrayed by the board... have we not learnt our lessons from our last title defence? Utterly pathetic. I'm furious. 

[Laylabelle 9,534]

I hope things are turned around..we knew last season we'd need improvements. So many moments where it was obvious..now we have champions league as well and yet...sod all support is there it seems! Still time but we've had months and little done so don't think anything will be

Blame the right people!

[Fernando 6,585]

The bad thing is now we will panic buy. 

Just like Mourinho season they did crap most season and wait till the end to panic and buy. 

Horrendous.

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,920]

Defense looks to have quit on him.

 

Alonso hasn't tried to close down a crosser all day. He's slow and average, but not THAT slow and average.

Things will not be turned around. We all know that. Next week we will lose against Tottenham away (not a surprise at all) and so on. We all know this will happen.

Hope the board is happy now. Fukin cunts should resign.

Absolutely horrible sub by him. Getting Boga out was a disaster, even if he didn't give much in 20 minutes.
