Sarri But Not Sarri Thread

[Jase 43,479]

So maybe, Sarri does want to go back to Italy due to family reasons (as reported in The Guardian and Telegraph)...?

It looks like he is done and dusted.......a goner.

I agree with @Tomo no way Lamps is going to knock this gig back if it's offered.

The more I read the more excited I am getting.

He just signed a new contract extension last November. He might be on the consideration list but is likely to be low on the list.

2. There are still former teammates of Lampard in the dressing room. How would that affect dressing room dynamics if he decides to chop/change the starting 11.

Correct me if I'm wrong but think that's only Luiz, Azpi and Willian. Don't think they're gonna kick up a fuss, but if they do, boot them!

David Luiz and Azpi will likely be captain and vice captain next season and both are very professional and always seem good with the younger members of the squad, etc. I don't see any problems with them whatsoever.

Willian had the spat with Conte but besides this he's seemed professional too and whether we like it or not, he'll have to assume responsibility next season as one of our main attacking outlets when Hazard leaves, and with CHO injured and Pulisic likely needing some adjustment time.

I don't see this as a problem. If anything if Lampard came in, he would probably lean on them for a bit of experience and knowing what some of the old characters in the squad were like.

We're Chelsea. It will be in the next 48 hours.

The main problem with Lampard is Chelsea boars and fans. 

Even if he has potential to make us a very formidable side, he will never have the time to do it, because we all demand instant success. Sure some will say thats not true, but as soon we have couple bad games, people start bitching here and call for every player from established ones to Odoi to be dropped.

We all want chelsea youth to play as much as possible, but only if they deliver results. The moment they lose a couple, it wont matter if Lamps throws entire youth team on the pitch, people will call for his head.

We dont have the spine to support a manager with long term project. Thats the problem with the board and the fans. 

Not all fans though, but most.

Thats why it would be almost suicidal to bring Lamps. Because unless he delivers very good first season, he is done. If there is no trophy and we finish 6th which is likely, he is gone.

The absolute scenes if Lampard makes Alonso his #1 left back. 

Can't wait to see the 180 of some members.

The lack of a top level striker and RLC's injury are what will hurt us next season regardless of manager coming in but I still don't think they'll be much difference between the 4 teams challenging for the 2 other Champions League places again. It'll be interesting to see what Giroud would possibly manage to do as first choice next season. Perhaps playing regularly in the Premier League he could push for around Hazard's numbers for goals (what was it this season 16?), and if others chip in around him it may be enough next season. 

When fully fit, I believe we have a better well rounded team than both United and Arsenal and that's even without Hazard. There are huge question marks over those two teams and major surgery needed. Arsenal likely won't spend the money they need to and United in recent seasons have been abysmal with their transfer policy. If some transfer reports are correct too, they are targeting a lot of younger talents too and may be looking at a bit more of a long term view of things which will also take some time.

The only thing in my opinion Spurs has going for them over us is a proven goalscorer which will time and again bail them out of tight games, but they too are in desperate need of freshening up and there's talk of Poch breaking a fair amount of this team up so you don't know which way for the short term that will lead.

Honestly it wouldnt be a surprise if that happens ... It all depends who shows more determination in training

Ah so if Lampard picks Alonso, it's because he shows more in training. But if Sarri picked him, it's because he was purposely sabotaging. 

Btw, I've looked at your posts regarding Alonso/Emerson. Different tune you are blowing now. 

[Atomiswave 6,117]

If Lamps comes in he wil be afforded time thanks to the ban.........He will have us going and pushing in one direction and the players will be with him. Will that alone be good enough? Will we see Progress and the overall hunger and fight greater? Or they could get Allegry and most likely be safer? This week we'll see.
