it's actually very good to be ruthless, to know exactly what kind type of player that you want to keep

but genuinely curious, is it common to say things publicly, this player a,b,c are train apart from others?

aren't there some better approach/treat player, they way you explain, make the club and also manager treat them like no respect

i mean you can add things like, we already talk one by one, in very calm and positive manner, i know its hard but we want the best for them aswell, we trying to find the best possible way, etc

those extra detail is important sometimes 

Yeah his way of handling this sort of weeds out the tough and ready, but may plant a seed of doubt in some of them, asking selves Jesus Christ will I go through this myself if I don’t perform for xyz duration. An extra inner dialogue, an extra wall between player x playing freely. Indeed you can handle this better but he’s leaning into the extreme of acting alpha, for I guess lack of it being true, inexperience in balancing that hand with warmth. The aura is very fake it til you fake it. Awareness of implications, of all this, would be visible to someone actually used to successfully leading a group, who could justify such a heavy hand, yet again if just in having, would be coupled with grace usually. 
 

Tis inexperience. In life. At his big age.

The one clearest actual credit where it’s due to BlueCo, if Disasi goes out, is their willingness to get rid of players quite quickly once they truly are “seen”, as opposed to the extra few years of blind faith afforded to the more difficult to shift Sterling say and obviously Mudryk. For all the greatness we had with Roman, one key we fell short of toward the end was keeping past it players too long, and not replacing them with alike types all fresh. Pep has that mastered. 

Very true that.

The potential of getting rid of both Disaster and Sterling seems too good to be true. 

Badiashile is even worse...

Well, Sterling, and his agent, were the ones who brought it to the public eye.

It's just a strategy; players can sit on contracts and there is little the club can do other than remove them from the squad. This strategy is also giving a message to other clubs that these players are fair game, and a deal may be facilitated.

Also, why you guys don't think he'll be like Lukaku and accept huge pay cut just to play somewhere regularly? For all the shit Lukaku gets gotta give him credit for that including rejecting Saudi move. 

Wrote this yesterday and glad this is the case. Many thought Sterling is unmoveable due salary but just like Lukaku it seems he will go wherever and accept huge pay cut. Credit to him for that. Many would just collect +300k a week for next 3 years.

On my knees for these Disasi briefs. Most people don’t believe in physiognomy, but I do think peoples faces clearly show their disposition - how close is their baseline to anxious, stress, relaxed, confident. It exudes. Disasi and Badi I didn’t want largely due to both exuding nerves. 

Believe in it? I can't even pronounce it. 🙂

[Strike 7,761]

It is disrespectful but its hard to argue with the logic of the sales.

[Mário César 1,475]

I think we are being to harsh with sterling, tbh 

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

Seeing Felix take over the shirt number from Trev is honestly more sad than what happened to Conor. The latter at least got a good season representing the club, wearing the armband, then there was a disagreement with the contract so he now takes on a new interesting challenge. All parties win, no hard feelings. But Trev is just as much a blue, happily signed  every contract handed to him, always gave it his all, got unlucky with injury, returned as our best CB only to be cut loose before there was even anyone asking,  now has to hand over his modest shirt number to the 17th attacking mid we randomly signed, will now be sold for peanuts to join some boring mid table club to rescue his career

Leaving out tiny detail that most people could see there isn't much in those players even before they came here and it took the board few years and several tens of millions to notice it. It's not like they were uncut gems with 50/50 chance of turning out wonderkids, rather fishing in very muddy waters for big cash. I get they could expect the reputation of The Project will at least increase their value in the meantime, but the project turned out what it turned out. 

And knowing our luck, it's only matter of time when one of the dross we managed to shift unluke Mudryk will turn out KDB and Salah story.

Also it's fine that club is showing assertiveness, too bad it directs it mainly towards our academy players who deserve the spit in their faces least of whole bunch.

Getting rid of Disasi 12 months after buying him is proof enough that the football directors are fucking clueless.

Tried his best, had some half decent moments but probably never good enough in the first place. The fact its taken them a year to figure this out, when the plan was always to work towards a certain style of football, is even more proof of how hugely hugely incompetent they are. If it was even in doubt.

At least they recognise their error and are looking to improve things. If we sell and replace disasi as well as getting a striker it’s been a great window

Recognise their error? Should’ve known from the start. Clearly - and this has been for a long time now - there is no actual plan in place for on the pitch and it’s more of a business model…

Whats been constant/consistent in our transfer business? Young players, lower incentive based wages, long term deals. Selling academy players for PSR. Selling players on higher wages (some that were only signed 12/24 months ago). 

I mean otherwise, can you tell me how it is anything else, when managers like Tuchel, Poch, Potter & Maresca all have literally next to nothing in common in terms of playing styles? And you don’t build a playing squad without tailoring it to the manager and his philosophy in all honesty. You can put blocks in place but ultimately, can’t do it all.

exactly 

this is a chaotic board and we already knew since the beginning 

[Mário César 1,475]

the goalkeeper's situation is so unreal that it sums up all the incompetence of management 

[Stats 7,225]

He has divided opinion ever since he has joined here, however the way he has been treated and discarded is awful. I support the team on pitch no matter what, but the owners are ruining the image of the club. I get it, his performance has not reflected his salary, but it is more to do with the fact the owners need to reduce the way fill rather than Maresca 'preferring other wingers'. I know we have never been liked by opposing fans, however even as a massive Chelsea fan, I feel embarrassed with what is going on at the club. The way we just buy players then get rid of them just doesn't sit right with me. Then next season, it will be one of the new signings being pushed out for another 'flavour of the month'. Just don't know whether there is an actual football strategy.
