Epic Fail. The man is an absolute legend. The people who liked this post should hand their Chelsea fan membership in. Embarrassing. 

The title of this thread is ????? Pardon

Saddled with too many past it has-beens like Cahill, cesc, luiz and pedro etc, too many never-is-gonna-bees like baka, zappa, drinkwater etc bang average players like Moses, Alonso, rudiger, willian etc.

And only a few really good players who are being dragged down with the ship,  azpi, tibo, Andreas and Kante with the one truly world class player who deserves better in hazard.

Honestly we should get rid of almost all of them and start from scratch. Sadly is the good and one great one we are likely to loose.

It’s called unpopular opinion for a reason, get over it

Marina is incredibly talented and an excellent Director.

I think Hazard is overrated quite a bit by Chelsea fans and even outside of the club by other fans and pundits.

Completely agree, he isn’t ruthless enough imo.

10 men went to mow is an outdated, sh*t song that is too slow and should f**k off and die. 

It frustrates me when I hear two separate went to mow's in the same stand. Impossible to sing along when we can't even time it properly. People nearest me will be about four numbers behind sometimes...

I dont think Rudiger is average

If we have a few sh*t seasons all the plastics/ Thomas Cook supporters will lose interest, and find another club to follow. 

Relegation to the Championship would allow new grounds to visit, get a bit of passion going amongst our support again- it's funny how the loudest supporters in the Premiership tend to be clubs who've suffered in the past, and have just got promoted.

Every cloud has a silver lining!

Timmy B is actually a good footballer who's drastically short on confidence / not up to speed with the Premier league. Has everyone forgotten his performance against Spurs at the start of the season?

I don't think anyone actually knows what she does so i don't see how you could possibly have come to this conclusion.

If lamps signed for the ratmunchers or Rottenham, I would have been very upset but still Would not consider even that Something to remove Lamps from Chelsea legend status.

Kante is overrated

Just to clear up the Lamps situation. It was the underhand nature of the deal which stunk....... His Uncle and Father have previous.

Lampard’s arrival at City was a surprise given the statement he made on 27 July on “joining” NYCFC. “I didn’t want to play anywhere else in England because I had been so affiliated with one club,” he said. “So it made sense for me to move.”

A LOT of people have the exact opposite opinion. I dont know how they come to that conclusion. 

But I base mine off the fact that we consistently sign players for below their perceived value and sell them above their perceived value & that we've conducted a number of good business deals recently.

His distribution during the first 20 minutes last night was piss poor, Baka would have been flamed for a couple of Kante's attempted passes to the invisible player on the pitch so for me the criticism of Kante is only fair. That said he improved considerably in the second half.

I personally don't mind her as i don't know what she does, so can't see why people hate her either. Same with Emanalo.

The last bit i don't agree with. The last few windows i'd actually say we've signed a fair few sh*t deals for over their perceived value. I.e. Zappacosta, Drinkwater, Baka etc. 

We do a bloody good deal when we come to selling people though.

Most youth players are overrated, especially when they are being compared favorably to first teamers (Musonda, RLC and Chalobah).

Most first teamers don't warrant a place in the first team over promising youngsters (Baka, DD, Pedro)

So easy to make that comment when they haven't had a chance. Did you say the same about Andreas ? probably.

Andreas was a no-nothing before the start of the season and not getting VVD was going to make us relegation material according to some.

I honestly feel Chalobah could have been a decent squad player, specially if Baka had hit the ground running (who i still think will go on to be a very good player for us), and it would have made DD totally redundant. As for cesc, i feel RLC can easily match him.

Jermaine Beckford and Akinfenwa haven't had the chance to play for Chelsea, maybe they are good enough?

RLC i fear is a new Sturridge, good player but will probably spend half the season on the injury list.

Cesc is a liability defensively the game has moved you cannot have many players that are not able to press and when you have creative players like Hazard do you want them pressing to allow Fabregas to be the spare man. If we went four at the back there would be more opportunity for him yet still think it would be limited.

The overwhelming consensus was that AC was ready because he had first team experience in germany and the CL with good performances everyone actually watched. As opposed to other youth players who don't shine in the championship but get touted to be better than half the first team.

I barely saw anyone who would have been happy buying VVD over him. a Chelsea fan NOT saying youth player x is better? pull the other one
