Barbara 15,149 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 10 hours ago, Blue_Fox_ said: Agree with the whole thing, and, just to be clear, I'm not against the Mahrez buy, in fact, I would be very much ok with it. However I would much rather see the club throwing the proverbial "kitchen sink" at someone like Mustafi, who, whilst not world class, would vastly improve our creaking defence ( after all doesn't take all that much to improve that defence); Joao Mario, whilst not yet world class would make our midfield a force to be reckoned with (I'd much prefer having an overpowered midfield than an attack.) Hell, even that swede kid if he can actually, and we know from the get go, take Ivanovic's spot. If, and only when, we won't be able, for whatever reason, to acquire any of these targets, then yes, we could go all out on Mahrez while it's possible. Or maybe become greedy and get them all, that would be ideal, but these things rarely happen. In other news, Barbara extrapolating from my brief comments the meaning of life. Second time she quotes me and write things in reply to something I've never said, she thinks I implied. (I still think from time to time how the hell did one of my posts ever came across as if meaning "Conte's comments were ignorant".) Yes, I said we should and I am certain we're aiming for good, fluent play on both sides of the pitch (maybe you missed it) and yet with all the work that needs to be done, right now, I prefer a defensively solid team that doesn't concede (and can translate on the pitch Antonio's ideas) to an attacking team who simply tries to outscore the opponent (and clearly can't translate Antonio's idea of football. Which without being disrespectful, it's just a fact, unless you followed the man for the past few years or so, I know a bit more about than you do. He's from southern Italy just like me) I'm sorry about the ignorant on Conte's account I really stretched the ignorant directed to Style's comment to Conte, my bad. But here, at least the post I quoted, I was under the impression you meant it's pretty difficult to be efficient on both attack and defense and as such we should prioritize defending. But I said I understood where you were coming from because indeed it can be difficult to achieve both, I just think we have to at least try. I'm sorry I misinterpreted your posts twice. Can we link pinkies together? 5 hours ago, Peace. said: I grab the opportunity to tell you that I am glad that you are back ! This forum really missed you and I hope you stay around !! I 've missed the forum too and you're definitely one of the posters I've missed the most - if not the very one. I always learn something with your insightful posts about football. Hopefully I'll have the time to be around after vacation is over, with Chelsea playing basically only on weekends I think it'll be also easier to follow everything.

If he doesn't already have that risk, Leicester aren't investing enough in competition for places, which is just another reason to leave on a high instead of watching his team crumble.

Antonio8 736 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 in any case if the objectives of chelsea are people like witsel and mahrez conte will have to do another miracle to win.. de sciglio caceres musacchio ramsey would be functional objectives and also with small money..

Methinks that as well but can't dismiss that completely because every now and then there's random dude who really knows his stuff. Last year some random guy got Pedro spot-on even before Catalan media started rumbling about this. 7 hours ago, Dazzy_Vance said: Can you please link me his page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
