The date is september 1 2018, Chelsea lost 1-4 against Bournemouth at home. Conte steps up on the podium to give his pressconference. The message is clear. He did everything he could with the players he had in the squad. They did a superb job in suffering without the ball. He is commited, commited to get 120% out of the players and he belive he did so against the mighty Bournemouth. Next game is Cardiff at home and Conte once again reassure us that we WILL suffer without the ball.

Yeah suffer without the ball indeed is the current shiney thing. Aswell the 3-0 loss vs Newcastle, 4-1 vs Watford etc etc. Oh and its really shiney to watch every pressconf. from our shiney Conte. The relationship between the board and Conte seems really shiney too. 

Juventus can work out a deal for Ronaldo in a week and it takes us 2 months to sack a manager.

Sure. I bet every big club would love to have him. Beeing unemployed for two years tells you a different story though. 
I mean.. sure he would do a ”decent” job here finishing 5th och 6th. But what else could he offer us? To rebuild our team and implement a new philisophy in the club? 
It is one thing to coach PSG with a Ibrahimovic at his peak and steamroll the ligue 1 than try to fight Man C, United, pool, spurs etc. with our squad. Especially when we wont spend as much as PSG did back then or the Manchester clubs + pool are spending atm.

Laurent f**king Blanc. Jesus christ. From Conte to Blanc 
With Sarri here we would have our own project and build for the future with a new philosophy. 
Getting so turned off by Blanc

Sky Sports really seem invested in making any appointment of Sarri a poison chalice, What a scummy outfit they've turned into. Pretty much the TV version of the Sun.
Oh and Laurent Blanc? Grade A plonker. If we end up screwing up and not getting Sarri, next year is going to be horrendous.

I hate when fans say stupid things like this because they are blinded by emotional bias.
Napoli are simply looking out for their own interests, same as any other club including Chelsea would and should do.

I'm starting to dislike the way we've gone about this though. Sarri seems to have been the coach we wanted to replace Conte, we knew Conte would be leaving. However, we seemed to have dragged this out and now there's talk of legal action between ADL and Sarri. Did Sarri really need all this? I am assuming he thought it would be more straight forward, and that Chelsea would want to pay his release clause. How must Sarri feel to know that Chelsea don't even want him enough to pay the clause? If we desperately wanted him, the release clause should have been paid for immediately. We have the money. It's just a bit of a d**khead move on our part. How to make a new coach feel welcome, eh? haha. 

Gardening Leave. he gets paid his full wage to sit out the rest of his contract and watch telly

Tomorrow will be full of rumors that Chelsea have activated the clause along with rumors that we activated Icardis clause, bidding for Higuain and how Lewandowski wants to join us. A official confirmation of Sarri seems imminent according to every reliable journo. Then everything will go silent. One week passes, two weeks passes. "We still only in June" etc etc. Mid July we sack Conte and sign Blanc/Hiddink. Rumors about the big fishes have gone dry and instead we can read about imminent signing of Mitrovic, Crouch and Lorientedjilobodji.

Just checked twitter. Liverpool have signed Fabinho. Done deal. Not too gutted but he will strengthen Liverpool in midfield. Dont want to derail the thread too much so I'll end it there. 
 

Meanwhile our rivals are busy completing their first or second signings of the summer already.... United bidding for Savic, Liverpool for Fekir......
I am no expert on the matter but god knows why paying a release clause and terminating Conte are taking so long. 

he's not gonna reply exactly the same game as we were used in naples, he's not that stupid :D He changes with what he has. His original tacts was 4231, as he was playing in empoli. when he came in naples he tried that formation for a couple of game and he switched to a 433 because was more balaced and solid. 
Left or right doesn't matter, we were building the game on the left cause insigne and ghoulam are better in playmaking and have more pushing attitude, while on the right side hisay is more defensive, giving the change to callejon to appear from nowere and collect the insigne pass from the other side. 
He mostly plays with a very high defensive line, with the two central defenders able to play the ball in case of pressing, spanish triangulations with the playmaker that in our case was jorginho, a man the always plays with one touch. 
Anyway it depends if he wonna continue with a 433 or get back to the 4231.

If Atletico's president keeps running his mouth, just activate Griezmann's release clause & see how he feels.
