i liked watching and listening to Ray play and talk. RIP

nice articulate bloke and great footballer. get well Butch.

harry kane?

looking at some of the post there are quite differing views but as someone mentioned he plays for France with some pretty quick players as 1st choice! quite surprise that only 1 person has mentioned give youth a chance! especially since that 'youth' has started to play for England seniors!

you mean abraham?

a lot of very good managers have gone and he is still there. i maybe wrong but don't we have good scouts all over the world and in all probabilities even people on here will be able to identify the potential especially with the expertise going at the bridge. the way i see it conte is the manager and he will express which players he wants and it is upto the people behind the scenes to get on with it and not the other way round. he took a long look at victor moses who was already at the club and if he expresses concern about chalobah, ake and loftus-cheek leaving then we should be worried.

wtf is wrong with some people? all i've said is that elemano wants lukaku and that conte favours morato! at the end of the day it isn't elmano's head on the block! i mean he has been at it for so long and it hasn't escape anyone's notice that we have had many world class managers getting the sack while he remains in a job! are some saying we should not trust conte's judgement who is about to do a double? ok maybe my views are bias against elemano but over the years it has always been the manager who runs the team who has the final say. if his views are not in favour with a 'scout' who does not run the first 11 then tell me that there will be no tension because over the years we've all seen it!

I'll probably get shot down by people for writing this but i have a terrible feeling that conte is about to go the same way as our 9 previous managers! It may be nothing but it has been reported that conte want's morato and emelano wants lukaku. If this is the case then tensions will slowly erode the relationship that has been built up by conte over this season. i might be wrong but this situation has deja vu written all over it!

i remember that day because they got rid of that play off crap straight away!

my god! having a butcher on the many views and opinions on here i have come to the view that some are forgetting the very basic about supporting the club! through the good and bad times? sure there are areas that need's to be addressed and i would rather have a roman abramovich doing it warts and all! probably because i experienced the fruitless late 70's and going onto boro sending us down! makes me think if some supporters were around then, then they wouldn't be like this!

maybe he was eyeing up abramovich's daughter! seriously though this is just an appalling decision by the those who live around abramovich's colon! i fear this will destabalise us even more!

a very decent skillfull player who was more than good enough to play with the likes of gullit and co.

cluck me! chuckle chuckle!

we all know abramovich has no patience so people can forget any chances given to our youngsters! expect more expencive foreign crap! with only terry and perhaps mikel the job of integrating into the ethos of the club is decidely average!

lets hope he isn't dropped quickly if he has a so so gametime!

too many foreign signings! what's wrong with English talent? in fact what's wrong in just giving our youngsters a chance? the best tactic is clucking patience! would love to win every game and every honour but allowing our players to be developed by others just shows we will always be behind certain clubs! better to allow them to develop here like JT so that they have blue running out of their veins!

we should sell this little ****! £5573.40 down the swanny because he can't take a clucking pen!!

this old git is suffering from senility and his family should put him in a home for his own good!

whats that got to do with football? cech is still world class and still had a contract. yes it's selfish but i would still rather have cech here than at goons where he is influencing them. the very fact that JM realise that we need 2 good keepers with the added bonus that cech bleeds blue and has a huge influence in the changing room. and no i don't believe JM is a tyrant just a football realist and i suspect that JM himself knew he had a hard job when no one stepped into those 2 legends shoes!

it might gee up hazard!

i'm a bit slow are we saying hazard is/was shagging eva?

easy because he sided with the some of the unhappy bunnies! don't know how much of the interview was published but he said this was the same group of player that won the title and nothing about 2 absent legends! bollocks because personally i say it was terry helped out by cech and drogba. the very fact that the lot of them carried the big man aloft spoke volumes of his importance even if he didn't play as much as he wanted too. these guys were JM's generals who did their part and the fact that cech is doing well at goons showed why JM didn't want to sell him but someone did and undermined him!

nice to see someone being appreciative. abramovich let sentiment get in the way and the board undermined JM by being complacent!

your right about that. look at how JM didn't want cech to go and look at the way he was sniping at the board for being complacent!!! JM deserves his money and like you thanks the memories JM.

exactly because the football i have seen isn't that bad it's just when the chips are down the likes of fabregas, matic and costa becomes headless chickens! terry can't do all the encouraging and making people not to behave like headless chickens! ivanovic was the biggest surprise because i have had him nailed on to step up to the plate!
