To return. Two of them have not had a pre season after surgeries. History tends to tell us that players who miss a pre season struggle massively to find form in the first half of the season...,that's not very encouraging  now is it? Also we sold Matic knowing Baka wasn't ready to play for a while yet we stupidly still sold him....explain the logic in that to me...go on! Even when they do return we are still woefully short of players for a side expected to do well in several competitions and Europe.

It's a farce simple as 

I have absolutely no doubt we will go on a positive run when the missing player's return from injury, Pedro/Willian, Morata and Hazard axis will rip team's to pieces and Baka and Kante i truly believe will be a revelatation as a pair. The unfortunate part however is looking at our fixtures it might be (even this early) too late for the title before it all comes together if City or Spurs fly out of the block's (it's one of those 2 if it ain't us winning it, imo).

This is the sad part, we are on the verge of greatness. Pro activity 8weeks ago and others fear us. We can still do it  though from a position of adversity.

Sorry I'm not a big fan of melodrama. We're the champions of England and we're going to manage the problems we have in front of us. Will we be champions again? Probably not, but then again I never expected to see the huge pile of titles and cups we've won in recent years happen in my lifetime, so I'm not going to start expecting us to win every time. Maybe have a bit more trust in the club to know what they're doing and a bit more gratitude for the incredible success we've been lucky enough to have.

Gratitude? Lol you sound like a politician.

Sounds like a line from a Donald Trump book. Real business professionals understand that markets are complex and that sometimes you don't always achieve the highest goals you set out for. Which is why I fully expect the club to have contingency planning in place to ensure we don't finish the window empty handed.

You sound like some happy hippy from the 60s.  What contingency plan?

No, I sounds like a Chelsea fan who actually remembers what it was like back when we didn't expect to have silverware handed to us every season. Shame a few more don't.

That's funny, because I work for a global corporation, and if someone walked in with that 'only amateurs try' bullsh*t they'd be laughed out of the building.

I remember it since the 80s which is Long enough.  And this has nothing to do with gratitude.  Nor does it excuse the Board of its failure to back the manager.  Resorting to platitudes of gratefulness and remembering the hard times smack of clutching at straws.

Whom you work for has no bearing in this thread.  Show us your contingency plan since you trot it out like a fashion item.  What is it then?

Not being a teenager I really have no interest in explaining myself to you, or for that matter dealing with your passive aggressive bullsh*t. Maybe if you spoke to people like an adult, you might actually get an interesting conversation.

And only teenagers explain themselves ? Lol.  In this circumstance, it's plain for all to see that it's you who is acting like one if you aren't one yourself.  When you are asked to explain your statement, an adult doesn't hide with words like "contingency plan" and refuse to explain what you mean when quizzed.

I don't know who you are, we've had no prior interaction that I remember, yet in the space of half an hour you've told me I sound like a politician, a hippy and generally talked to me like a c**t. If someone talks to me like a c**t, I'm going to assume that's basically what they are. Frankly I've got no time for it, so I'll be adding you to ignore. Well done, you're the only person here I've ever felt any need to all to use it for.

In your smal mind, you don't like being questioned on your statements and opinions.  Hence you label me as a c**t which merely shows how vulgar you can get when you are cornered when you have run out of factual arguments.  Don't post in a forum if you don't like your opinions being challenged, small boy.

Now im not excusing the board but i hate this mentality. When we win it's all the manager and none of the board but when we screw up its all the board and the manager's are innocent? Carlo and Jose both made grave error's that went beyond the heirachy.

Sorry but that`s simply not rigt. Carlo was done nothing wrong. Board messed in his work, interact and once again when we was champions, they lower the level and get no one.

Of course it`s not only their fault, especially with Jose 2014-2015, but they should have learn from their mistakes, but they simply do it again. Time after time.

And we foresee this. Conte foresee this and it was telling them week after week. The sign was there from last season Fa Cup final, that this team with it`s best player available, need to be strengthen, and also to add quality depth.

And then the community shield against Arsenal.

How many times Conte told them, and was sending message, that we should not repeat Mou season, that we need a lot of signing in both qualities and depth, tell me ?

You and few others guys defending the board big, so when you are proven WRONG, you should accept that and said it i was wrong.

And it`s not only who the board get, but who also go.

And what will be the relationship with the manager. And that bond it`s gone. It`s obvious he is pissed at them and i`m almost sure he will be gone in the end of the season.

So whatever they did after that, they messed big. Cause we will lose 1 of the best manager right now.

If we make bad season, our best player, and the only one that is world class will go too - Hazard.

Football right now, especially in England, if you lower the level even a bit, you get punished and just 1 bad year, could be devastating.

The board did great job by selling player, tho i think they sell too early and loans would be better. They are under contract, so it`s up to us, not to the players if we will loan them or sell them.

And also they bring good players this season, and last season Kante was great add in, but this summer they did too little, too late.

And what is the point that we will look good, when Hazard and Bakayoko return ?? When we will be far out from the PL title chances? And no one knows when they will be fit. Cause after such injuries with surgery, they will need big recovery time and a lot of time to find their form back.

And the f***** idiotic board sell Matic, without Conte permission or bring him a good replacement.

At the start of the summer we was tallking that we need 6-7 new qualities player, so we can try to defend our title and make good run in CL. Then the board sell so many players, and we just get 3 new players - Rudiger, Baka, Morata.

Sorry but i can`t be happy with them. They sh** on everything, once again and make a disaster once again.

They make unnecessary strain on the whole team and the coach, that is shown. All of the problems it`s transfered to the players as well. The same happen in 2014-2015.

Well you were certainly wrong with the title.

Looking at the time stamp on the post, he posted 'Hey guys, I am back' just after going 2-1 down on Saturday.

No comment after the full time whistle went at 4-2.

....not that I'm a cynic.

It's better to be right than support the club. Didn't you know?

Do you want a f**king medal? Jeez, a lot of people agreed with you on the thread, but this gloating is just stupid, to say the least.

This should be engraved across the entry to this forum, on the front screen of every Chelsea match streamed, and over every gate at the Bridge.

Take a bow, BQ for bringing it back again :)

Hold on, does anyone think this season is as bad as 15/16, like actually?

Edited November 1, 20178 yr by Argo

2015/16 was alright in the end.. easily avoided relegation and put us on the right track for more stable management...
