7 RB's who would be upgrades, some massively so, on Allonso, especially the first 5

all COULD be purchased by us, most on this list will move by the end of next summer

Lucas Hernandez

Junior Firpo

Ben Chilwell

Alex Telles

José Gayà

Alejandro Grimaldo

Ferland Mendy 

 

the board is shit though (I am sure you will disagree on that as they gave La Tortuga a big renewal) and probably will not move on any

they are talking about bringing in Rogerio, a 21yo part time Sassuolo starter on loan from Juve, who may end up being Emerson 2.0, who we will sell for a loss in a couple years

 

You want to see what good fullback play is, go watch Victimpool, go watch Shitty (when Mendy is heathy and I am sure they will soon buy Firpo or Chilwell) Go watch Dortmund, Juve, Barca, Bayern (if they didnt have Alaba and Kimmich they would truly be struggling), hell go watch Leicester. It isn't a coincidence that fullback struggles are playing key roles to many big teams struggling atm.

Lucas Hernandez looks like an interesting player, but still a gamble.

Would not go for Telles, as a former gremio player I know his style well and is already past his prime. Terrible in defense and never played in a competitive league. Pass.

The others are huge gambles as tiny league and team players. If you think they are not (gambles), you haven't followed enough youngster's careers... That's why scouts make so much money - perhaps you should give it a go since you like to do it for fun anyway?

The board is not shit. What does that mean anyway? Maybe you should support a different club? The board is whatever the fuck the owner wants it to be. No, I do not agree with many things the board does and have done so in the past, nor do I think the youth system is run for the benefit of the senior team, but I do presume that they are doing what they are instructed to do. Why? because they are still well employed.

I am done here. Your opinions are dead wrong IMHO. Hernandez a gamble and Telles past his prime? Lolol

Couldn't disagree more with most of what you just said here and most all before. 

Btw, I will support whomever I please. I dont need to ever be told what to do,

Cheers

Telles plays in fucking Portugal... how the fuck do you "just know" he would do well at Chelsea and the PL? By watching him against different opponents with different styles of play and weaker leagues? Switching clubs was merely a suggestion since you don't seem to like anything about Chelsea.  BTW you are giving me power I don't have, and I do know I don't have it. 

So, you are saying that the people who work for the owner and are paid by him are doing something he does not want them to do? Or perhaps that they are incompetent, but the owner is completely oblivious to it? I mean if you think you can do so much better, why not do it professionally like the people you constantly criticize? You know these people working for the "shit" board make a lot of money doing that "shit" work. Again, just a suggestion.

You win, no player in Liga NOS is good enough to ever play in the mighty EPL.

Roflmaooooooo.

Also the board is infallible, walks on water, and every move is made with god-like prescience.

Get back to me when Hazard is sold for £100m or more less than he is worth, or walks on a free.

I would say get back to me when we at least break even on sales, whether it is vis-a-vis what we paid, or even worse, what we were offered, but then you wont be getting back to me much.

Get back to me when we finally break ground on a new stadium, that will put us on at least somewhat equal footing with other top 15 clubs in terms of revenue generated from ticket and luxury suite sales. Again, I will not be hearing from you.

The board as currently constituted  is not (at the trigger-pulling level) football intelligent. It has not been for years. They got lucky a few times (most recently Hazard, Conte, a few others) but overall have made far more blunders than successes, especially starting with the De Bruyne, Lukaku, and Salah sales, and continuing on with multiple disastrous buys. The Drinkwater purchase alone is damning enough evidence.

We don't (and have not for well over a year now) have a director of football. It is madness to run the club this way, with the blundering puppet Granovskaia having the absolute whip-hand over the entire personnel operation.

Furthermore, the club is at serious risk of seizure via a worldwide systemic effort to shut down Abramovich due to his inner-circle and financial ties to Putin.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/12/07/romanabramovich-list-six-russian-oligarchs-targeted-uk-intelligence/

The USA Democrats have taken over their House of Representatives, the Mueller investigation will probably wrap up within a year or so, and with Trump's probably downfall due to linkage with Russia, there is going to be a giant shitstorm of blowback, and Roman already has a massive target on his back. Our UK government, especially post Brexit, will do whatever the yanks demand.

The club needs to be sold post-haste for that reason alone. The SIBNEFT mafia running riot over basic football sensibilities is just an added piece of justification.

100% of the points you are disagreeing with I did not make.

my point remains that you, who made the claim, not I, that a player Y from a smaller team would Easily made it here. I don’t think it’s that simple given the many players who failed here and succeeded elsewhere.

While I don’t disagree with the rest, it is mostly irrelevant imo. I wouldn’t be surprised one bit if there is money laundering in the mix too. It is what it is though.

ok back to the nightmare that the arsenal game looks to be.

Good post until this bit. 

One can either think Conte, sarri, and most coaches employed by Chelsea are deluded, or that there is a minority here on this site who are completely deluded - not my choice of words.

another puzzlement is how do these folks, who just “know” (literal meaning of being deluded) that Emerson is so much better when we hardly seen him play?! And especially we hardly seen him play against stronger opposition - Alonso always plays against them.

asking for more minutes for Emerson is great and makes sense. But calling a manager deluded because of his starting choices is just bizarre.

I maintain my point. Alonso is shit as is Sarri.

Best left-back in Europe. 

Whoever suggested this bloke should get a new contract, and whoever decided it, should be sacked straight away. Shocking decision.

Not sure on the accuracy of this, that is making rounds on Twitter, but it could well be roughly right based on his new contract. Disappointed but not surprised if true. The club and fans like to tie themselves down to ‘hard working’ mediocrity like Alonso:

My goodness. Remember the other rumour making rounds on social media, when we signed him apparently people at Fiorentina could not believe their eyes that somebody, especially a club of our caliber, put such a bid in. I am starting to believe it, no wonder he's been at Bolton and Sunderland before.

What a donkey.

[1chelsea 864]

Always my first goto site whenever a players mentioned. Then transfermarket then find if theres any scout reports on them. Lots of info available for checking out players.
Then I wait to hear what Mz [mention=16599]Vesper[/mention] has to say about them.

Five years contract what are they thinking.
