Did you hear about Conte's outburst at Buffon in 2014? Even if we win the title tomorrow there will be minimal to no rotation for the last two games.

Just read the article, think it was more about making a point on the bonuses/acting like they have already won it than resting up for the last couple.  They were also going for 100 points.

I think, if he believes the players can come in and we can still win the remaining game/s, he will swap the squad a little.  I can see Chalobah, Ake, Zouma, Willian, Bats and possibly RLC getting some starts.  Nothing too drastic, they've all played this year.  

 

Doubt we will see Kenedy or Solanke.  I'm not sure if he would be opposed to giving someone from the youth team a debut either, seems like a decent reward to give young players and keep them committed especially after they have been so successful again.  Ugbo? Sterling? Chalobah (Trevor)?

Todd Kane hopefully...

(... he's one of our own )

Does anyone know what Kenedy said on instagram? Seen the stories but don't know what was said.

What an idiot.

Surprised he got on the park yesterday (if it was before the game) 

 

One post was a pic of him saying f**king China the other one was a sleeping security guard saying wake up China...and it was "racist" new term for anything that a non white person disagrees with, stupid posts but racist?? Come on, misuse of the word ditracts from people who actually suffer racism 

No chance of offloading him to a Chinese team now then...

The club has issued a statement.

He's basically done nothing wrong and the PC Brigade have kicked up a fuss for the sake of kicking up a fuss.

Come on, that's barely a 3 out of 10 on the Aurier scale.

Seriously you can't even fart nowadays without offending someone...

What a pathetically PC world we live in.

Maybe explains his woeful performance or maybe he just isn't that good, which would be my interpretation. Move him on as quickly as possible and don't waste pre season minutes on him.

That was utterly stupid of him to post such drivel but it still doesn't disguise the fact that he was a bad buy and is pretty much useless on the left.  Sell him off and release a squad space.

Stupid little sod, but what is racist about it?

And what exactly makes him not good enough or a bad buy exactly? Is it that he's not the second coming of Messi? Good player, done well whenever called on and well worth his place in the squad. People have no patience these days.

Oh and this whole "incident" is a total non story. Pathetic that it's actually got coverage in any media nevermind the club bowing to the PC brigade.

Because he's not good enough for Chelsea.

I'm not sure which games you are on anout but every time I've seen him p,at he's stood out like a sore thumb for all the wrong reasons.

When you've only got seventeen international spaces in the squad and you are short of 'home grown' players already, the seventeen have to be pretty special to gain a place in our squad. Kenedy simply isn't good enough for us or probably most premier league sides. Move him on.

In the minutes he's been given for us in competitive matches he has shown at the very least that he is competent in a number of positions and that he has potential and room for improvement. Absolutely miles ahead of Baba Rahman from what we've seen. Would rather we stick with him than just throw money at a position which isn't a massive issue.

Kenedy counts as U21 so doesn't taken up one of the 17 spots

Fantastic excuse to sell him.
