Jose is the reason that De Bruyne, Lukaku and Mo Salah are all top 10 players in the world....for other teams.

I'd eat a bullet before having Mourinho back. I mean seriously with Maxi and a slew of other competent managers available, who shouldn't have to put up with him again.

#SadButTrueStory I'd take Bakayoko over Kovacic all day...,mainly because RMCF want a ridiculous amount for Kovacic. They can eat his salary after the Courtois situation and not giving us fair market value for Hazard

GK: Kepa, Caballero, Bulka DF: Azpi, Rudiger, Luiz, Christensen, Alonso, Zouma, Emerson, James MF: Kante, Jorginho, RLC, Mount, Barkley, Ampadu Attackers: CHO, Pulisic, Giroud, Abraham, Willian, Pedro (this is our biggest issue that cannot be fixed with our transfer ban)

So I know this is off topic but why is FFP even a thing if they don't hold teams like City (the new Real Madrid / Barcelona) accountable for spewing money. I'd hate to think about this but maybe UEFA needs to look at an American style salary cap. It seems to work in the NHL where there is parity among the league.

So let us entertain the notion that we back the manager for a couple of years. IF Sarri is actually having a difficult time motivating these players than we need an entire overhaul of our team. Who do we keep and how in the world do we sign and entire team in one summer?

So in that same way of thinking Sarri would be just as successful as Pep is at City? I don't think there is ANY team in professional football that is currently Sarriball ready. Maybe PSG

I have two issues with Sarri as the manager. 1) His style of play relies heavily on players who have great close quarters ball control and high passing %. It is clear to me that we have less than 5 of those types of players on the team. However the one player that Sarri identified last summer for his team (Jorginho) has been absolute garbage. I am wondering if the EPL is able to support a Sarriball type system. 2) As we've seen from previous managers our board fails epically to get the players in that they want. How much B/S did we go through with the Sandro saga? Do you really trust this board to get the players in a transfer window to fit with our manager? With that being said I think we need to get a manager in that can work with what we've got.

Sarri just snubbed Pep's handshake.....THAT IS IT FOR ME! How bad would Zola be as our manager?

That literally could be the only way I would be okay losing Courtois, Willian & Hazard

Give me Dybala + Isco / Asensio / Eriksen / Pulsic / Rashford to replace Hazard / Willian

I'm not sure if you are joking but Robben and Higuain are not French. You might have been thinking Ribery and Benzema.

Here is what I'd line up with: GK: Tibo DF: Azpilicueta (C) DF: Christensen DF: Rudiger LWB: Alonso DM: Kante DM: Luiz (if fit) / Fabregas RWB: Moses / Emerson FW: Hazard FW: Willian ST: Giroud

That is a f**king outrageous tackle.

Yeah...because we've done a great job at that over the last several years. Wanting Alex Sandro....getting Zappacosta and Emerson.
