City, United andpossibly Arsenal are going to spend big from now on. Maybe, but if we have another bad season, what do you think Roman's reaction would be? Saving money or spending to win?

Popular Post! Hybrid Angel 2,130 Posted January 20, 2016 Popular Post! Share Posted January 20, 2016 Sampaoli over Simeone any day. I'm well and truly tired of negativity and conservatism surrounding this club. I don't understand why so many fans have been brainwashed into thinking that defensive and counter-attacking football is the Chelsea way. In 2012, our style of play was reflective of the quality of players we had in the team. Chelsea Football Club and its fans are in dire need of positivity and an eye for the future. Simeone(although he does pay attention to youth) is clearly a no no for me. Belgiannutt, Spike, MefiX19 and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beigl 1,387 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I've never heard of the bloke. [emoji38] Me too. [emoji23] Sometimes I feel really clueless when someone on this forum opens a new player thread and people call him great but I never heard of him.

Iggy Doonican 4,186 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Sampaoli has just got a new agent one Jorge Mendes. That's all I need to convince me to go to Ladbrokes in the morning to put a few quid on Sampaoli being our manager in the Summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sampaoli quits Chile and then hires Mendes as his agent. Mendes has a lot of links to Chelsea. The Guardian implicated Mendes and Kenyon over third party ownership which Chelsea have declined to comment on apparently. But the main reason and this is just my own opinion but I've got a couple of mates who work for bookies one an online firm who say a lot of dosh has gone on Sampaoli in the last few days. Sky bet have him as evens and the best I've seen is 2-1. Speculation of course but I think it could happen. Spike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideshow Luiz 2,310 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I must admit, I do not know anything about Sampaoli either. Then, I read these articles on his tactical preferences: https://footballmanageranalysis.wordpress.com/2014/03/12/a-tactical-analysis-of-jorge-sampaoli/ https://defendingwiththeball.wordpress.com/2014/06/15/chile-attack-attack-and-then-attack-some-more/ I'm intrigued, but I also really wanted Bielsa as an interim manager and Pochettino as the next full time. So I suppose it only makes sense that I'd be excited to see Sampaoli after leaning who he was. Of course, this now means that it won't happen and we'll get Rafa. Edit: I should note that I don't actually think we have the squad to implement the philosophy of any of those coaches. The back line is too slow. Terry was one of our best players last season, and possibly the best CB in the PL. But he really needs a team that defends deep to cover for his (lack of) pace. Sampaoli (from the brief amount that I've read) seems to want midfielders that go box to box, and we don't really have those (Vidal > Ramires). If he comes in, we'd be looking at a lot of new additions to the starting XI. I'm not against that, but it's a difficulty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bethos1 802 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I wouldn't mind Sampaoli, I loved watching Chile. Sure he doesn't have that much experience but which coach that we can get does? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue_Fox_ 2,086 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 We don't have the players for Sampaoli, we need a whole new defence and more, and if we don't back him up with funds this is going to end in tragedy. Essien19 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
