OneMoSalah 7,985 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Underrated player. His combination and link up play is unbelievable for a number 9 but hes not selfish enough to score 20 plus every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the club needs to have a word with itself concerning the utilizing of all our legends. I would bring them in as a team but still under a TOP DOF. Bring them in as various trainers,scouts,youth development,team spirit etc. But I think we need to bring in a fully skilled DOF with experience and contacts throughout Europe at the highest level.

Monchi would be another I approve of. https://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/2018/6/7/17436564/possible-future-director-of-football-michael-ballack-sings-the-song-of-youth-for-chelsea “It’s not what Chelsea is asking for, running so far behind. Chelsea with its history shouldn’t have different ambitions. You have to think about what happened the last three years. “Finishing fifth is not good enough for Chelsea, and especially in the last three seasons not qualifying for the Champions League twice. It’s a sign, it’s a development with which you have to be careful. You have to question yourself inside Chelsea to see what you have done right and what you have done wrong.” ... to visualizing a strategy that Chelsea can implement to right their ship. It’s a strategy that might play well with Roman Abramovich, who’s invested so heavily in the academy. “It’s not always about the money to be successful it’s also about the strategy. They have a really good youth team that beats everybody. They have good young talent which you can work with. There is quality there. I have seen them myself there. “It’s not always about spending the big money, taking risks, relying on one or two players. Maybe it’s time also to go in a different way for Chelsea.” -Michael Ballack; source: Daily Mail He is a global brand ambassador for multiple companies, he works with the United Nations as a sports advocate, and has so many contacts. I think he would be superb in the DoF role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
