Great read

No owner is going to sack a manager and pay up 60m quid to terminate his 5 year contract after 2 months, not even Roman.... never mind the fact that the 60m can be used to buy players to support GP...which is what all us fans should be doing...Tuchel is in the past...it's about time he is consigned to the memory banks! Or go off and create a Tuchel appreciate thread so fans that support the club and not the manager don't have to read the constant drivel that is being spouted on a daily basis!

Doh ! 
Only 5 career Chelsea goals in the line up then 🙂 
Anyway, Mendy Cucurella and Chukwuemeka are all confirmed as ruled out now !

Koulibaly scored vs Spurs.....

f**k Boehly.
f**k the pieces of sh*t that wear the shirt.
f**k this club.

I'm of the opinion now it doesn't matter who we sign until there is a change of system...

I don't, think it is outrageous and I completely disagree with this comment, fact of the matter is we have a squad made up of several managers choices that are an ill fit for the way Tuchel wants to play.. Certain players can only play in one way and one system, no amount of coaching is going to change that.
 For example, Werner will not improve his strike rate with coaching in this league, he’s in a rut and frankly although I rate him for workrate alone, he is not suited to the premier league and will never get enough space to score, for a player that needs several chances and space to run into, you cannot coach him to become a completely different player and even if you could, we have a squad full of players that do not suit the system.
 Ziyech is not all of a sudden going to become a beast and fight for every ball, he’s too lightweight for the prem.
 We get fans on here calling for a back four to suit the attackers, all well and good but look what happened when Lampard played a back four we were shipping goals left right and centre and the opposition was shutting up shop. The team and squad is so unbalanced I can see why Tuchel is making these comments, at the very least you would expect a player when pulling on the blue shirt to give 110% in every match and if they don’t then damn right they should get called out on it… they earn enough money to at least play for the fans!
The squad needs to be balanced out with smart signings, but we can't do that at the moment as we don't have enough centreback cover, we have too much deadwood and we are behind due to sanctions etc..
 This mess will take at least 2 seasons and 4 transfer windows to sort out.

As far as I am aware transfer fees are split over the term of players contracts so for Lukaku that would be approx 20m per season negative towards FFP plus wages....so a good deal of reported rumours are 8m + 4m add ons and his wages off the books....frees up a bit of loose change towards transfers...  Whereas player sales/loans count in full for that season....

It frees up 325k wages per week....with FFP it's vital to get that off the books

We get it you don't like Pulisic ... Jesus!😄

Ridiculous isnt it.

Probably hard to negotiate with the current international fixtures going on as well

The club was already on an upward trajectory, thanks to Matthew Harding and Bates, Abramovich pushed us over the edge and into 20 years of glory, Kudos to the main man, without him and his billions who know's where we would be now.. we will never know. His best signing for me was Mourinho v1... people sat up and took notice of us then... Should have won the Champions league in 2008 as well if not for JT's slip....!! close margins... onto the new owners, the club should make a statue or when SB is redeveloped name a stand after him.... that would be a fitting tribute to the man who was at the helm during the greatest and most successful period in the clubs history.

Such doom and gloom....we rebuilt a defense in 2004 and won the title breaking the Arsenal/Man It's duopoly in the process...Tuchel is the right man for the Job and seems loyal to the club and loves it here...with the right players in his preferred system we can achieve big things next season...maybe not win the league but it only takes a few injuries from the top two and us having a good season and who knows...look at the dippers last year without Van Dijk they were all ovr the place and losing home games left right and centre...our issues are not closing out games and conceding stupid goals...perhaps it's a good thing half this defense are on their way out...
 
 

Its ridiculous isnt it, by all means think Silva or James or whoever was more deserving of the award, its an entirely subjective opinion, but why then disparage one of our other best players, on who has came up through the ranks at Chelsea and represents everything the fanbase has been crying out for. Its so weird this desperation by "fans" to talk him down at every opportunity.

Such doom and gloom....we rebuilt a defense in 2004 and won the title breaking the Arsenal/Man It's duopoly in the process...Tuchel is the right man for the Job and seems loyal to the club and loves it here...with the right players in his preferred system we can achieve big things next season...maybe not win the league but it only takes a few injuries from the top two and us having a good season and who knows...look at the dippers last year without Van Dijk they were all ovr the place and losing home games left right and centre...our issues are not closing out games and conceding stupid goals...perhaps it's a good thing half this defense are on their way out...
