Rumour of real unrest in the Chelsea dressing room, even Conte's wig is rumoured to be considering putting in a transfer request.
I wonder how much the players liked Costa, I know it's apparent that the manager doesn't but Costa could have been popular, it seemed so from the celebration footage last season.
Cahill was on Talkshite this morning and was asked about him. He was coy and said he was great footballer who'd be missed.
There's a certain type of manager who prefers the Mark Hughes' mentality. Get in, do your work, then **** off. Leave the humour and chit-chat at the club gates, and collect on your way out.
no he's ****, always been ****. had a few good games but even robbie savage scored some screamers. Man isn't physical enough and had the brain of a flea. Technically he's good but thinks he's all that and does too much. Brilliant statement though
Kante at 7m was 6m more than we'd spent on any other midfielder in our squad. He was our third most expensive player ever. He definitely was a marquee signing. His ability has no effect on that.
That's not a marquee signing ffs A marquee signing is a well known player joining a club. Kante wasn't that back then. A marquee signing could be on a free so isn't really related to cash tbh. Ruud Gullit and Vialli to Chelsea were both free transfer's. Sami Khedira to Juventus, also free. I'd say your biggest 'Marquee signing' was Cambiasso, he was even on a free (I think?).
Only a fool would pay more, when you can pay less Your club might learn a thing or 90 about paying over the odds. Anyway...Danny Simpson lol Lindelof was getting roasted on the radio, is it true he has the turning circle and acceleration of an Oil tanker?
I'll be honest mate he doesn't look like he's up to the standard required, but we'll give him time. There's plenty of top players who have looked like **** at some point. As for paying over the odds, a product is worth what the buyer is willing to pay. A drop in the ocean really to us but I can see why you guys would struggle to swallow it.
You boys need to pray we dont make any marquee signings when Poch can put together a mish mash of riff raf and still finish 2nd only to some Russian bloke's money laundering scheme
Amen, Bruv! Part of me doesn't want us to buy a Billy Big Bollox player. I've said it before, but getting a "name" into the club would give them the impression that they have an automatic right to slot straight into the first XI, when that clearly cannot be the case. I like the fact that we can spot a Dele Alli playing in the lower leagues, and turn him into the most prized youngster in World footy. I want Poch to do more of that. Let's win things the Spurs way.
