So no then.

I got better things to do than counting your endless ifs. :D

You can keep quoting me I'll stop here. I think this must be getting more annoying for most people  than the harmless Monday jokes that got you super irritated.

Suppose it's something different for you instead of banging on about how rubbish we are and how amazing our rivals are all the time :)

Simon Johnson knows fuck all either.  His articles are copy and paste jobs of what the Italians say, but to hide it, he says "Standard understands..."  Same with that gobshite Nizaar Kinsella, knows fuck all

Simon Johnson is usually spot on. He at least has access to players and conducts interviews.

Fucking hilarious every time Chelsea post on Twitter, the comments that follow are brilliant :lol:

"Where the fuck is Sarri"

"Release the away shirt you fucking idiots"

"Sign someone"

:lol:

To be fair though, sometimes our official account tweets absolute shite. Like it'll tweet something, then repeat it 4 or 5 times through the day.

 

Stuff re. our players in the WC i enjoy though

What thing that I do not understand is why if Sarri signs, he wants to bring Hysaj, Rugani, Higuain and other players that "he knows". Why does he need players that he  knows, specially since they are not extremely good?

I would've understood if it was about Koulibaly and Mertens. But Hysaj and Rugani? Come on... Reminds me of Zappacosta. 

Guardiola never needed to bring any ex-Barca player to City in order to make it work, did he? 

When will this club sign another actually good and proven player again? We keep on bringing in mediocre lads and then complain about not winning.

Unfortunately I think this maybe the way for some time now, the Zappacosta comparison, add Drinkwater to that and also the likes of Barkley.

I'm not sure how true the Hysaj rumours are etc but based on the last few transfer windows there is a bit of a theme and I think it will continue.

I think Hysaj would be a very nice signing. Higuain would be great in the short term so he also makes some sense. Rugani is the puzzling one. The Italian/Juventus fans I've seen on Twitter have been saying he's super talented and they don't want to sell him, but he's far from the finished article that we should be after.

This exactly is the reason managers should never be allowed full power in transfer proceedings. Its just too much to ask for. You cannot succesfully be involved in all training sessions, match preparations, pre-season, tactical decision making, dealing with media and at the same time watch other football matches to scout players. It is that simple. Hence why managers tend to bring players they know with them, or other players from the same league that they play against and like.

We need football men in the board, people with vision and knowledge of the game and authority. Then in conversation and agreement with the manager they should make the decisions on who to try to buy or sell. Abramovich is at fault for this, because lets not fool ourselves he is the one hiring and firing at this football club.

This whole saga is driving me crazy. Some clubs are aiming to conduct all the transfer business before pre-season starts and we will be lucky if we sort out our manager before that time. If our club is just screwing around with Napoli just to get them exactly what they were asking at the very beginning someone should be send to archives for a year.

“Aurelio De Laurentiis said he wants to speak only with the president of the 'Blues'. Some contact with other figures (Marina) has been made, but De Laurentiis decides that he only wants to deal with Abramovich, this is his condition: otherwise the situation remains the same " (Areanapoli)

Top dog wants to speak to another top dog. Sounds about right.
