Not sure we are pretending, I just think ATM money is better spent elsewhere.

GK imo is top three most important position on the field, there is a reason both Pep and Klopp spend a world record fee at the time on Edison and Allison.

Top 3 maybe, but when you have already bought 3 of them, you can't just keep buying keepers until one works out 😂

Didn't see their level dropped with Kalleher and Ortega.

Seriously, Behdad: it’s going fine. Don’t worry, Todd. Everyone knew the plan from the start. Sack the guy who won you the Champions League, sack the promising young coach you hired to replace him, sack the experienced blue-chip coach you hired to replace him, hire a guy from the Championship, raise ticket prices for the first time in 13 years. This is the process. We get it. We see it working. Meanwhile, all the best in next season’s Conference League.

Excellent interview tactic. What with these owners love for numerical analysis. 

Moneyball approach which certainly works in a stats-heavy game like Baseball.

Regarding Sanchez, I'd not read too much into it; it might be a message to the transfer market saying that we are not desperate to sign a goalie, in an attempt to lower the price.

Five years is a bit optimistic - Jose was the longest 3 years 2004-2007 in recent history- and we've had 20 managers since then averaging a year.

Give it another year max before its Cheerio Enzo....

Yeahhhh it won't be 5 years! Def a year or so. That's bonkers when put that way!

There is a very good chance, even with the clown management, that there is a fixed termination fee in there. Just like there was when Pardew got 8 years or whatever it was. 

Anyway big welcome Maresca. I am not sure it will go great, but at this point I have my doubts about the direction of this club no matter the manager.

Kepa was very good in Sarri season. 

his short arms doom him (and he is only 1.87m too and not super athletic so no crazy jump)

so many goals let in that a 1.92-1.96m (or more, but too tall and they start to get clumsy quite often) GKer with long arms would have saved

Really agree with this. Maresca is not coming in trying to appease the players. He is coming in to get the players ready to win.

I really hope all this works out.

Not necessarily because I think so, and not because I think Clownlake have it in their capacity to learn.

I am just tired of seeing Chelsea going through the motions these past 3 years, moving 2 steps backward with every forward step.

We will see how much of a backbone he has when it comes to recruitment and even his team selection. Thats going to be more key for him than letting players go/not go to the Olympics.

If we keep seeing the likes of Jackson, Disasi & Mudryk starting every week then it‘S clear he is a yes man and will have very little power upstairs. Not saying the lads upstairs will be saying you must play X Y or Z but there is also no doubt that we should be replacing all 3 of them from the starting 11 and perhaps the the squad.

The problem with Jackson starting, is there is no alternative at the moment. He is the only striker we have that has any attributes for the position.
