Our results and performances since then have been desperate for a supposed European giant. It's depressing, Jas. Just thinking back to the end of last season when we were Champions and all thought it was only up from there. What has happened since is beyond the most outlandish Hollywood scripts. We could've taken that next step up and joined the big boys in Europe but are instead at our lowest point in years and years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I'm looking forward to what's next lol. This is a genuine chance to see what the club does in times of such low points, they can rebuild correctly and choose players who truly have a hunger to see us return to where we should be. The manager, dare I say, is irrelevant. Recruitment is a bigger part of the picture then someone who'll serve as 'head coach' for 6-18 months. I'm looking forward to seeing which players will edge for a move. The likes of Hazard, Costa, Fabregas, Courtois haven't been around long enough to be considered 'Chelsea boys' so their motives and agents' behavior will be fun. More importantly, I'm far more relaxed now . With barely anything to fight for, no need to stress over 'vital wins' and such.. Maybe I'll get to enjoy seeing Traore shine! obiwan92, Blue Armour and Blue-in-me-Veins 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Socur Toxanarosa 145 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Fu** Hazard, the big mistake was selling De Bruyne, much better player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on his way out as soon as Jose got here. It wasn't really 3 months of bad football, he barely got a look. chelseafan26 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSG have built a team that has a top player in every position on the pitch and has players that show up on the biggest stage. They've invested masterfully. We on the other hand have failed to replace our legends and are now looking at one hell of a fight just to get back to the good European sides, much less the great ones. Well, we were never really going to match their squad....given how FFP no longer applies to them or City, But yeah, the last two transfer windows (Jan 2016 and summer before) have been nothing short of shocking. We actually regressed in the winter window by giving away Ramires without getting a replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! Pizy 18,975 Posted March 11, 2016 Popular Post! Share Posted March 11, 2016 That mentality is basically why we've regressed so much. Persisting with players who aren't up to scratch. Oscar has played under how many managers now and still hasn't really progressed? Of course we don't need a huge overhaul of 7-8 first XI players, but we certainly need 3-4. If Conte is told he must start next season with the same midfield and same defense as this season then he's doomed from the beggining. Same thing that happened to José. "These players won the league last season so we don't need any big signings." Let the manager decide whether the players are good enough, don't tell him.

Eh, I'm sure Conte will come here and bring the players he wants as well. Conte won't take no nonsense from our board, it's one of the main reasons that he resigned himself from Juve.
