Well last season playing to those supposed strength's we wound up 5th with our second worst run of form in the entire Roman era. What exactly was the plan when Bournemouth came to Stamford Bridge and took the piss out of us?

Baka was a Conte signing, else he would have been frozen out by November.

And again Bakayoko was thrust in to the starting 11 to replace Matic despite the fact Conte wanted to keep Matic and slowly bleed Bakayoko in... Matic night not have done well for United but the last season where he played next to Kante they were very good... Matic also got 7 or 8 assists that season. 40M was a good fee but I think people really underestimated his performances with Kante, who yes is brilliant and got more plaudits, but didnt give Matic any real credit.

Last season told its own story my man....we were rather decent till Jan, we ll know why it turned bad. That season isnt some benchmark we should use every time Sarri is mentioned.

Ohh yeah I know......thank fuck for that. But I dont think you anyone can deny they are much better now compared to prior Poch came in. You see more steel, more organised, desire and will, progress. They get CL often now and even put City out of CL this season.

if we had scored more goals, we couldn't have conceded more than we did. its all about cover for the defence, some cried at the sale of Matic but are they better? this is a team in transition with at least 3 forwards that are not good at tracking back and Jorginho that has been weak defensively since the Tottenham loss. William, Higuan/Giroud and Hazard offer little or nothing when we are defending, which we are most of the time, Hazard can be excused but a team like Chelsea can't afford the luxury of so many weak defensively players, you can throw Odion into that category as well.

 

Cant say no to that, then why the fuck is Sarri so adament with this fuckery? Why not have the insight to admit his way is not suited for us atm? That is why im sarri out, its 433 no matter what, same way and tactics no matter what, the list is long. I will bet with anyone here that if he stays, we will struggle badly again. You take Eden out and we are fucked, hell this season without Eden and we would be in top 4 no more, in a season full of bottlers and gifts given by our rivals.

Do you have any idea who there manager was before Poch Tim fucking Sherwood an improvement on that is not an achievement. Praising Tottenham is not allowed on this forum mate they could beat Barcelona 5-0 in the Champions League final and I still would say they are shit.

Again thank god for that......may the spursy continue. Yeah another Club that can do no wrong in the media.......but stinking pool takes the biscuit. Such wankathon in the media is unheard of.

I hate spurs as the next Chel supporter.....I just used them as an example. They are the bottlers afterall, otherwise they would have won something under poch.

correct , the British media adore the mediocrity that is Spurs . Poch is a failure , his buys have been diabolical,  Sissoko, Aurier, Liorente, Jensen etc. Much of your media wear the cockeral badge that report in a bias,  over inflated impression of this whore club. 3 wins in 14 is relegation material. 

Sarri in comparison has achieved top 3 and will deliver a Euro final . l am proud as our club that  has been destabilized by the British establishment has risen above their petty prejudices and will always prevail.

No way should we recall morata. Perfect case of grass being greener. He was/is pathetic. I would rather give the chance to Tammy/giroud/michy

 Bats has been horrid other than that short Dortmund spell. 

If we renew Higs for a full year that is litterally almost £25m down the shitter in loan fees and salary for just the 12 months. Could have bought 30 goal Piątek outright for £31m. Piątek salary is £1.5m per year. Higuain's is £14m!

He is making only £30K PW less than the monster contract we offered Eden. Higuain is the 4th highest paid player in the EPL. LOLOL.

1 De Bruyne

2 Alexis

3 Pogba

4 Higuain

5 Özil

I am not saying that we should buy higuain.

Tubby has hardly done anything to be bought, no matter if sarri stays and throws all the toys out of his pram like Conte over the transfer. 

BUT, bringing morata back is hardly any better. Another bang average footballer and most importantly a bang average footballer who does not even want to play for the club. 

Michy showed far more in his half a season with bvb about leading a line ALONE than morata has in his whole career.

In theory him and Higuain would probably be the best options if we are banned, but if we recall him against his will he will sulk into oblivion.

Quote from the shed end that sums up what I want to say better than I explain.

"Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But you have to change your mind as the facts change. So i have to ask some of the doubters - how can you persist with the same criticisms when, one by one, they've been answered, to varying degrees? here are a few:

1. Sarri stubborn on team selection: see others' stats above on RLC and CHO. Whether it was fan pressure that did it or not is irrelevant  -  the stubbornness argument no longer holds true. 

2. We always lose when we concede first: ahem Cardiff away, Burnley at home, United away, Frankfurt away... did i miss any? ok all but one ended in draws (again, did i miss some?) but still a hell of an improvement on what was going on in our dark patch.

3. No team spirit: see 2.

4. Lack of imagination on subs: when was the last time we saw Kovacic for Barkley or vice versa (and this ties in with one)?

5. Always play worse in the second half: last two matches the exact opposite.

6. boring football - ok this is somewhat subjective, but i think it's unfair. While we have lacked consistency, there have been some great performances with top quality football - off the top of my head - Watford second half, belly of the Frankfurt game, Tottenham at home, West Ham at home, City final.... 

As i said, you are entitled to think Sarri is not the coach for us. But i don't think it can any longer be based on any of the above. Kudos to abramovich (not THE abramovich, or at least i don't think so) for basically acknowledging this and giving credit where due. And he may well yet be right to still be sceptical. We "ins" could easily be wrong come next season and should be ready to change our minds too. But for now - the table doesn't lie (solskjaer said so and it's hardly in his interest to say it), and there's no point rationalising it with "it's only because man u, tottenham etc were crap".  1. they're probably not that crap (one is in CL semi); 2. so what (great even!) if they are."

Bringing back Morata is super bad, but I'll take that over perma-signing Higs. We don't want another deadwood, finished player signed up to this club. Chelsea isn't a retirement home.

Morata is still under contract with us so there's nothing we can do if Morata doesn't want to leave.

But if Sarri pushes the club to permasign Higs, fuck Sarri he HAS to go. Because that is where his standards are.

 

If we perma signed Higs , so 3 more years after that, until summer 2022

 he will have cost us EIGHTY-SEVEN MILLION POUNDS for 3 and half years (his end of career years unless he goes and cashes in in the US or China) of fees and wages, and at end he is worth NOTHING

that is fucking madness

Piatek, for 4 and a half years, all fees and wages, would have cost a total of £38m  and would be only 27 when his last season under that (2022-23) ended, and probably worth between £90m and £120m if he is even scoring 17 to 27 or so goals all comps each year

 

and people still question why I call the board literally the worst in the top 30,40 teams of world football

[Vesper 29,022]

1 minute ago, Mana said:

The board hasn't permasigned him yet, so let's not pile this on the board just yet...

Without anything to do with Higs they already are the worst. Hundreds of millions in lost player revenue, shit buys, multiple botched transfers, horrific sales, absolute shambolic contract management, and corrupt rule breaking that will cost us dearly, and isn't even done being exposed, as new illegal shit is now coming out.

Joke puppets.

Oh no, don't get me wrong I agree that the board are muppets along with everything you said here.

What I'm saying is don't pile the Higs thing until they actually do it. And I'll blame them as well as Sarri.

Even if we just extend his loan for the full 18 months, that is £43m in fees and wages total! For a bloody year and half with zero ownership! That's fucking bonkers.

If the board somehow do this, then thats sackable offense on the spot. Nevermind all the other shit they have done these past years. Again this is what you get when you have non footy people running the show, we look clueless.
