Yes, lets sell all the proven players bar Auba who won us the Champions League, Super and World cup and bring in a bunch of 10 or more players who may end up being bang average and win the club nothing for 10 years!!!!!!! 

Out of the guys that was listed its hardly key cogs to the CL success now was it?

Pulisic & Ziyech proven? Proven to be shit and not up to it maybe.

Havertz also hardly proven considering one week he looks ok then he doesn’t resemble a footballer for 8 or 9 on the trot. Like saying keep him only because he scored a CL final goal - was it same story for Torres because he scored a CL semi final goal? Or a Europa League final goal? No

Ruben & CHO probably never be regulars regardless of their salaries. 

So whats the issue getting rid of them? The club should want to keep Kova and Mount but realistically if we struggle to offload others and theres no movement on their contracts - they will be sold.

Can someone please send a "Kind reminder" to the corporate guys in our board?

Tiresome of some of the fan base lately generically on phone ins etc about we should have got an elite manager like Zidane etc etc like when do people take a step back and have a think about us as a club? When did we last win the league? Yes we’re a big club, spoilt by success and a beloved owner in Roman.

 

The reality is that we are in transition, therefore looking at what Poch did at previous clubs, and I really do discount PSG it’s a joke of a club for management (pot kettle..), but I’d rather have someone who has consistently worked with bringing a squad up. Would anyone then be against someone else coming in after a few years to finish the job if Poch was never able to take that step? No. We’ve got a talented squad, albeit it needs trimming, but the owners are realising their mistakes e.g rehiring the medical staff. 
 

Get the season ended and onto preseason, I’m happy with Poch coming in.

All this argument about selling or keeping players at this point, is moot.

I'd like to see how this squad performs under a competent manager first.

Almost all our squad is playing below par, and they've all been managed by a bunch of flatfoots for an entire year almost.

Interesting that all these crap players are wanted by top clubs in Europe, Kova by Man City and Bayern, Mount by Liverpool, KK by Juve. RLC by AC Milan and Ziyech by PSG.

Like usual, watch them spring into beast mode the moment they leave Chelsea…

How many times have we been in transition it's just a cliche bruv the fact is we are a badly run club have been for many years winning trophies has papered over the cracks.

We have been in transition since at least 2017. The fact that we have not been competitors in the Premier League for 6 years speaks enough.

Every season we are in transition.

Sarri - Sarriball need time,  

Lampard- no transfers no expectations

Tuchel - glory in Europe ,  nothing in PL

 Russia entered in  Ukraine and then a disaster for Chelsea Football Club.

And now this season .

Now that is true.

Yeh It’s always badly run clubs who make lots of expensive transfer mistakes like Chelsea and Utd who are always “in transition”

I really like this De Zerbi guy, he's taken Brighton to another level since they dumped Cucurella and Potter on us, and we fell for it.

I wouldn't say we were badly run, we had the target of winning trophies under Roman and that's what the club achieved through various top level managers and some very good players representing us over the years. 

The fact that it's been a number of seasons since Hazard left us and not a single attacker can replicate what he brought to our attack....that's the biggest concern. 

We keep signing shiny new toys but they don't work because every single player we've bought is a system player, not one has the actual individual brilliance to beat their opponent and get a goal for themselves. 

Changing ownership was never going to be easy and the club got it all wrong the minute they decided that Potter was the man to lead the club forward.  There were rumors that Tuchel did something with the backroom staff which led to his sacking from Chelsea but it's a shame that we couldn't get a top level manager in to lead the first season under new ownership.
