    @Odiddy I’m not sure how old you are or how long you having been watching chelsea for but I can’t imagine it has been a long time as some of your points are incorrect. Lampard was chased by Barcelona when they were at their peak and Ronaldinho who at the time was the best player in the world tried to get Lampard to sign over a couple of seasons. 
    I don’t want to start mugging you off cos I assume you are a young lad who probably plays too much FIFA rather than actually watching or playing football it you are well off on Lampard mate and I suggest you get yourself on chelsea website and order some dvd’s Of past seasons. 
    My Dad talks a lot about Charlie Cooke but I don’t have the same appreciation as I never saw him play as it was before my time

    Ashleyb got a reaction from old git in Alvaro Morata   
    Looking at our options I’d keep Morata this year to give him another run in the side. Yes he goes down with the slightest touch but so did Drogba when he arrived. I remember him getting booed when he got subbed for Kezman. I am not comparing him to Drogba because they are completely different players but my point is what are our other options Higuain? Mertens? Both over 30 never played premier league and wil probably need time to settle in. It was Morata’s first season as a number 1 striker and playing a different style of football it may help him fulfil his potential rather than playing with his back to goal. Morata just feels like another de Bruyne where he could go Dortmund rip it up and suddley he is a 100m forward. The way he started the season gives me hope that there is a player there to work with and playing in the right system and given time to settle in to a new environment he could be the striker we are looking for

    I expect to finish in the top 4. I think with the squad of players we have, this shouldn't be as hard as we made it out to be last season.
    I hope we can get top 4 and win the Europa League. Like i said above, we have the squad of players and i don't see why we can't achieve both.
    My fears are Sarri being another AVB or Scolari. After chasing him for so long this summer, it would be very frustrating if he can't get us into that top 4 and competing again. I also fear losing one of Kante or Hazard, we need them both if we want to compete with the best again.

    Ashleyb got a reaction from Kentonio in Antonio Conte - Now Officially Manager   
    I can only speak for myself but I think the way he handled himself in the last few months was a disgrace and we should have easily qualified for the CL. If he would have handled himself with a bit of class he would have probably still been in a job. It’s the same way he went out of Juve and fell out with Agneli and apparently he’s not welcome back. The fact a lot of players are glad to see him go tells you what type of person he is.

    Ashleyb got a reaction from All Barco no bite in Rugani   
    I would slightly disagree on this one too. Sarri plays a much higher line and the aim is to draw the press in by playing short almost risky passes from Abidol, Koulibaly and Jorginho to work the ball out wide and create overloads. Where as I find city play at the back in a much more safer way..... just my opinion I don’t want to get in an arguement about something so irrelevant. Whilst we are talking centre back Rugani is a good signing. Juve have good centre back but need to raise money and he is the only defender that they could get this amount for as they have signed a guy from sampdoria on a free. I can see him and Christiansen being a great long term partnership
