The Next Manager?

[Ossie the King 634]

We need to get Pep if Mou is going to Man U, because he would be motivated to shit on Mou's head by winning the title.

Pep doesn't go to joke football clubs. He'll go to Man City because they're properly run and he'll get the support he needs.

Simeone is the best choice but with Roman still in charge, he'll last a few seasons before we sack him and completely change things again.

I'd happily have Simeone IF Koké is the first "must buy" he targets and brings with him.

Wouldn't the language barrier be a serious issue, though? It doesn't matter too much when it comes to talking to the press as we've seen the likes of Pochettino use a translated for that stuff, but would he be able to communicate well enough players like Hazard etc?

I can't agree with you on this one, mate. You can't give up possession when you are Chelsea and play West Ham or Bournemouth at the Bridge. It might win you the game by 1-0, but that's just a shameful thing to do. I understand the use of the counter attacking strategy when you are weaker than your opponent and you need to get a result. Like it was with us against Barcelona or Bayern. But your main strategy, as a big team, can never be counter attack.

Course it can. If a team sits deep you press them high, win the ball back as high as you can. Counter attack doesn't mean sit back and wait for a mistake. Dort mundane, the United of old didn't do that.

Is arsenal's possession football as boring as Bayern passing to death?

Koke and Griezmann...

Koke and Griezmann...

I'd love that, but it would be pretty hard to see him not only screwing Atleti by leaving himself, but also taking their two best players with him.

Would be amazing to have Koké in midfield next to Matic and Griezmann in the hole as a second striker behind Costa.

We'd essentially be Atletico de London with half of our XI having played under him before.

--------------------Costa--------------------

Hazard---------Griezmann----------Willian

--------------Koké--------Matic-------------

Baba-------New CB------Zouma-------Azpi

-------------------Courtois-------------------

Goddamn, that's a hell of a team.

If he said it we can all assume the opposite is true.

Hiddink arrived in London yesterday to begin talks with Roman Abramovich and is expected to be announced as new manager on Monday. [Express]

Guus Hiddink close to Chelsea deal after Jose Mourinho sacking

The 69-year-old Dutchman has yet to sign a contract but is understood to be happy with talks he held with the Blues hierarchy on Friday.

Chelsea likely to announce later today that Guus Hiddink will succeed Jose Mourinho as manager but on interim basis until end of season. via(@bbcsport_david)

[Kieran. 6,317]

Chelsea just announced it. Guus for the rest of the season.

[Fernando 6,455]

Like Henrique said, if he is doing good by the end of the season then keep him.

That's a big IF.

[Special Juan 27,424]

Hiddink in.

Prove me wrong, Dinky Dink. End the nightmare with your magical people skills.
