Jesus not a f**king chance. He was a great player and I love the guy, but he has no business being in our team again. The guy doesn't look after himself enough to have a career into his 30s.

Yeah if we think Kante walsing back in after we done well when he's our was frustrating, imagine tossing Pulisic to the other side where he's not even half as effective to fit Eden back in.

 
Hazard is still a great player, and talent wise he was the greatest Chelsea player we've ever had in my opinion, even though at times I was disappointed he never really hit the next level. At times I felt as though he could've really cemented his place as one of the greatest in the world, up there with Messi and Ronaldo but he didn't really have that drive to score goals and take risks, he would often cruise the game. 

I've said it many times before, and I'll say it again. Madrid was never a good fit for him, especially with Ronaldo gone. They have so many players who can pass a ball, dribble the ball, but not enough players to get on the end of it and score goals from out wide. When I think really, it was Barcelona who he would've fit in with well, I'm really surprised they never felt like grabbing him. 

To be fair to Eden though, before we signed him, he always made it clear that he wanted to play for Madrid, and the Premier League was a stepping stone for him. Whereas Victor Moses, we signed him and he immediately said Chelsea is just a stepping stone for when he goes to Barcelona, completely disrespected the club as we just bought him.

We tend to have a culture in the club that makes players grow to love the place, not sure exactly what is in place to create such a feeling, but it's there.

I mean, we even managed to get Anelka to settle down and behave himself 🤣

We are THE Chelsea!

 
What an incredible businesswoman she is. The value she gets for our deadwood players or players that don't live up to expectation is exceptional and the fees we are paying for top, top quality players is frightening. She really does deserve all the praise being turned her way, she's had a massive impact on the way our squad looks. It looks like there's a very joined up relationship there with Frank, Marina, Petr and Roman - how often has all the reports been about our manager being at loggerheads with the club during transfer windows? It's good to see everything working like a well oiled machine for once.

Hopefully she can move some players out this window as well.

As great as she's been, Cech has gone under the radar a bit but he's been just as important!

If you combine that with Morata's fees, we basically spent money on Mendy + extra.

That is amazing business!

Plenty more players to sell who we can get decent fees for aswell, Barkley, Christensen, Emerson, Batsuayi etc. 

 
I confess, in previous years I got on here and took the piss about Marina running the club 

fairplay she’s grown into the job, of course having Romans loyal backing insulates her from a P45, but now she’s outdone herself and when she gets a goalie in it will be Romans best ever window, KUDOS MARINA 😉

 




Great video. At some point Cech openly admits that there is 1 person that decides what is signed or not....

Yet that person is apparently never held accountable for the success of our signings, while managers come and go like buses.

You do have to wonder. Are our managers that poor that they turn Drinkwater, Baka, Kepa, Werner etc in to dross or was it we should never have bought them?

 
She’s been great for business but the ultimate business is ‘on’ the pitch as that translates to the business side eventually even with someone with lesser talent as Marina. Aside from Hazard the impressive player sales are just looking at a problem backwards, we shouldn’t be in a position to need to offload these guys to stay afloat after awful transfer business, awful recruitment and mismanagement of coaching staff. She was a key figure of the board when Mourinho returned, her legacy is connected directly to the mismanagement of Lukaku, De Brune & Salah, then we have the screw up with Conte and of course Kepa, she’s making Emenalo look like f**king Tiki Begristain. Wish we could just leave her to player sales and commercial deals (Nike etc), we go into this tie with Atletico with 4 of the back 5 from our Barca 2017 spanking and Bayern spanking of last season, we have no direction with recruitment and there are clearly no football voices in this boardroom able to out-muscle.
