  1. If you were his agent he would stay for life
  2. Never get 200, the figures quoted 130-150 is even generous, naymar was an exception with his release, Mbape would go for that or less and he is more of a talent that Hazard and 8 years younger
  3. I'm watching Hazard in the semis and I won't say he is too good for Chelsea but he is far too good for a 2018 Chelsea, it's a waste of his talent, we aren't an ambitious club at this time, in reality he should go it's the right decsion for him as a player
  4. Not nearly as large compared to having Scott Brown controlling the middle of the field, Begovic was the worst keeper in the league statistically last season, did a decent job for us
  5. The point is, take a keeper from a lower end team in the league, he still pulls off brilliant saves and keeps his team in games, now vs Tibo, I mean the gulf in what they actually do is very limited in the bigger picture, and PL even Championship goalie will go basically the same job give or take playing out and distribution, now take a lower end midfield vs cities and you'll see how much the gulf in performance is between a good and a poor midfield. On another note I really don't like Tibo his heart has never seemed in it, I'd be very happy for him to go, he is a Diva and the constant Real rumours are disruptive, and I used to rate him, I think he has filed to meet the potential he showed at Athletico
  6. Apparently now Napoli are trying to put a clause to stop any players being poached by Sarri if he leaves to Chelsea, between De Laurentiis trying to to his best Mussolini impersonation and Marina stumbling about trying to save a few bob I think Antonio's job is safe, either that or we get Sarri a week before deadline day and buy Danny Welbeck and some obscure fullback from the Dutch second division with injury problems
  7. Yea I saw that, good player, now that juve has Ronaldo surely they have to sell players I'd start looking to them instead of Real
  8. 25 mil? Thats change when you're a multi billionaire, his current club also paid for him and he has real value so they need compensated at that price wheres the angle for Roman to get any money there? I' sure he would like a Russian star seems far more plausible
  9. Of course it is partly because he is Russian, Roman has brought in people solely because they jewish, so it it in character
  10. My question is what sort of useless c**t checked Sarri's contract from his side? That he is still under contract even if they replace him, they are playing hardball, while they have no intention of paying 2 managers wages, I'd say to tell them ok, f**king keep him, put the pressure back on them, but then they will just offload him to a w**k Italian side beautifully and seamlessly, I'm telling you Marina gets peoples backs up, De Laurentiis is a c**t, but Marina brings it out more, why Roman hasn't replaced her is beyond me.
  11. You are missing the point, OUR youth won't improve US, all good youth, if good enough will shine, doesn't matter where. KDB went to Wolfsberg he showed what he can do, Salah went to florentina, Kante was league 2 in France a few years ago, you don't need ushered through an elite team to make it, if they were good enough they would play, it's their job to show themselves good enough not our job to weaken the team to pamper youth players, when any one youth player is good enough to start for Chelsea he will start guaranteed, we have only had 1 in the last 15 years so waiting for a squad fu of them, isn't going to improve the team is it? Using that video just shows that you are being unrealistic, you are trying to make the exception the rule, everything Hansen said was correct in principle, just liek if I said you fall out a plane with no parachute you will die, that's correct, but some people have done that, are you going to use that as a template, a good solid plan? Name someone else who used youth as a core or a big part of their squad and won anything in the last 10 years? You can't never happened, but let me guess if we just give RLC and Odoi the chance they will be teh ones to do it, again not a realistic plan, hence the people paid lots of money to make these choices don't do it....
  12. Right, so our starting midfielders then, so he doesn't improve our first team, it's easy to say he is better than Bakayoko because Baka has had some poor games and an injury but he isn't better than Baka not a chance, and he is by far our best youth player still not improving the team and barely the squad, you know the point you're trying to circumvent it but it's a fact, youth aren't going to improve our team, except by making us money to re-invest in the team. No one club can produce enough talent to have serious impact on a first team it doesn't happen at this level it's fantasy, maybe in Spain because of the national talent and 2 teams to choose from but not in England, name me a team doing that in modern football? Even Man U famed for its youth has only pulled it off once in history in a very different league.
  13. Rumours flying that we are considering selling to PSG if they meet the 80 mil Euros evaluation, this better not be true, it's literally the worst idea we have had if true and we have had some sh*t ones
  14. Yea probably could, but my initial comment was based on someone saying bringing through youth will fix our troubles it won't, I would rather the scenario you said absolutely but in the context of improving us no, unless we save money on squad fillers and invest it in big players then I'm totally with that, it's not a bad shout, having said that when we sell on squad fillers we usually don't lose money
  15. That's so far from being true
  16. No they appear from other clubs when you pay for them, hence you buy from other clubs, no team produces a first 11 of their homegrown youth mate don't be silly, if a big team brings through 1 player from their youth academy to the first team that is a star every 5 years they have done well. In our league the answer is good scouting and money to back manager, Tottenham have come on some very good players relatively cheap but that's not a sustainable model, what is sustainable is being commercially successful and reinvesting to stay an elite team, youth don't really come into this picture at all in 2018 football, like it or not these are the facts of reality, our youth team is good they do their job and make us money, RCL is a decent player but never would we pay money for him to improve our team, or any of our other youth they just aren't good enough, it's not easy to make it at elite level, this is just reality.
  17. The youth while romantic is not the answer in this high power league i'm afraid, the answer is cash to back the manager, RLC and Tammy arent winning us the league or improving the bench even
  18. I agree I like a big team, height has its used but at CM, not really I mean....kante
  19. I mean if it stays the same with the Spuds, all we had to do was beat huddersfield and newcastle for top 4 hardly a monumental task but we are literally a Europa league squad right now so it is just, put me out my misery
  20. Well on the plus side if Roman is going to turn us into Arsenal wenger is available...
  21. Of course they did mate without a doubt
  22. The good thing is we have given ourself 3 chances now, as long as we win, liverpool just need to draw one and we can go up or if Tottenham lose against newcastle or Leicester, it's probably not going to happen but it very possible could, and we never thought we had a chance when we lost to Tottenham
  23. 5 ming extra time...c**ts honestly. What a 3 points, Giroud great signing, Rudiger becoming a very capable defender, we are getting back to our stride, not too late I hope
  24. what a chance whos gambling at the back post f**k me
