see wentin you dey bakayoko was a good buy?,I stopped reading.

was? yes na, abi you no watch am last season. That 22year old guy balled in Monaco o, shebi him enter champions league eleven

laPULGA:
there is a difference btw being defensive minded and ensuring defensive stability that is why barca has conceded the least goals and also scored the most goal..their goal difference currently is more than double that of any team in the league and they also dominate posesion and create most no of chances

that being said i agree that allegri is not a defensively minded coach..but ensures balance and stability on both ends

when you have more defensive players you play defensive, when you have more attacking players you playing attacking football.

I get that Conte is a defensive manager but them calling Allegri so was strange to me.

atheist5:
conte should not be given full policy over transfer because he wants shit players like bakayoko.
Read my statement again,we didn't go mediocre last season, I am referring to this season, here and now,why should I be romanticing the past?,imagine playing a formation that requires just hazard and morata to do all the work

bro gone are the days of Alex Ferguson and soon Wenger, when manager do all the signing.

Bakayoko was a good buy by both Chelsea and Conte it's not like your other players are doing better. Is he supposed to carry your team or the team carry him

Morata and hazard no be eleven players they play, abeg shebi Alonso get more goals pass hazard so Alonso no they do anything abi.

Wetin do fabrepass, him no fit pass ball again, wetin con do Pedro today him go score tomorrow him go balloon ball commot.

Chelsea is having a bad season it happens, conte said it would happen so why all the noise kwan

randomperson:
most of those victories happened when Chelsea was not in champions league. If the future you hope for your club is one where you don't complete on r champions league, then all the best

and so

miremoses:
that's it. Neymar can't come with ronaldo still in Madrid.
In as mush as I like having players like Neymar in the team, I seriously don't fancy the idea of signing him. It will hinder vinicius growth when he arrives this summer or next. Same way it will hinder his growth in the Brazilian quad course they play the same wing.

Oh boy I done forget that guy self, 30M abi for the 16year old. Chai

miremoses:
ya, I don't know what his good at. I would choose Neymar over him when you talk about creating chances, scoring goals and making runs.

with ronaldo in the team

atheist5:
our transfer policy is an issue, I must admit,I even leveled all the blames for our mediocre season on it at a certain point,taken a deep look analysis I think it is all not responsible for our doddery
Napoli is quite top of their league,they play almost the same breath taken football as Barcelona and city this season(those clubs also share one thing in common),who bought bakayoko one of the most brainless midfielder I have ever seen?,is it not the same conte,the transfer policy is bad,but some contes target is quite apalling
am not some fans,I just want a tactical flexible coach and a good man manager,
its bad enough that we will likely go trophyless this season,more bad that we play shite football too

shite football since when, where were you when your team won 30 games last season.

chelsea plays shite football , na wa for u o.

and the bakayoko issue, didnt barca buy gomes, didnt bayern buy renato sanchez did their season go to shite.

atheist5:
dude just wait for the PSG tie first,this is football mate, this change very fast

chelsea, bayern and barca didn't find psg easy. it won't change anything bro

atheist5:
zidane won back to back champions league,but he may be kicked our this season

just renewed his contract

cstr1001:
His transfer policy is a defense-first policy. That is the problem.

Look at the players he actually wants but couldn't get. They are all defensive options.

The transfer market is secondary. Chelsea have spent 200 million pounds or so . They were all spent on somewhat defensive options with the exception of morata who was a replacement and which to me is a downgrade.

what of pep that bought up to 5 defensive players. so wetin you go call madrid, way they play counter attack.

how many defenders has the world's best defensive coach bought for man u, chelsea and even when he was in madrid, were they more than 50% of the buys.

so conte wanting to upgrade chelsea's defense na wahala. you watch chelsea vs roma.

did chelsea not go for insigne, candreva, vitolo, llorente

is chelsea not going for lemar, bailey, barkley. abeg wetin be your own wahala

person go think say na only defenders full chelsea team, 5cbs, 2dms, 2cms, 5ams/wingers, 4 wingbacks, 2cfs,

atheist5:
you get sense abeg,I.just tire for people,how many Chelsea fans can't see Conte's flaw just tire me,play azpi as the fifth defender against city still lost,if not for hazard people would realize Chelsea play stale football, no good team is reliant on one player to create a simple move,I just tire my brother

the same conte that won pep last season, na wa fans and short term memory

cstr1001:
They ran city ragged attacking wise, but with a fraction of the attacking talent city has.

Imagine what sarri could do at chelsea.

like chelsea would wait like napoli did, sari started in 2015 even with all the cash city spent before pep came and that summer, city had to wait a whole season.

popizaino:
I agree with you on everything except allegri been defensive.

especially those three years allegri coached milan, not too defensive minded as some they talk

popizaino:
Aside Italian manager been naturally successful at chelsea, allegri comes as a better tactician than enrique whose exploit with MSN hasn't changed his status as a mediocre coach to me.

people think Allegri is defensive but has highest goal difference in serie a. even barca coach EV also employs tough defensive tactics

Greatihex:
Precisely two-thirds of the way through the Premier League season, Antonio Conte’s men deserve credit for achieving 14 victories from the 22 games today – the second highest in the top flight.

conte in chelsea 70% victory, pep in city 68%, mou in man u 60%. conte does deserve credit

miremoses:
papa Perez will break the bank this summer. Hazard to Madrid? I for one wouldn't like to see hazard in Madrid shirt. I mean, what's hazard really good at, just dribbling players on the left flank and losing the ball later? Nah! They are better players.

Neymar to Madrid? I seriously doubt that psg heirrachy will negotiate any deal with Madrid this summer, and neymar has no release clause also. It will be hard! Maybe summer 2019 is the best time for any possible transfer.

Kane to Madrid? I read some Spanish news, and most of them say that Kane's representatives are in talks with Madrid board.

Let's hope we bring in the best next summer tho. But for now, we should focus on playing better.

you don't know what hazard would add?

casemiro, kross, hazard, isco; ronaldo, kano

you don't know what hazard would add

HPS3:
You must be too stupid to realise that leganes are higher on the table than the team you guys got,might want to check that next time before you start chatting shît.

lol no mind them

Oasis007:
“I don’t think it’s ethical or correct to be speaking about players of other clubs. If somebody speaks of one of my players, to tell we are interested or not interested - this kind of thing - I wouldn’t be very happy. Sanchez is an Arsenal player." 

- JOSE MOURINHO

jose finally learning small sense and maturity from conte

raumdeuter:
Yes there are awards won not in booth or through election.

E.g highest goal scorer award, highest assist maker award,

If season ends today and Harry Kane is awarded the best striker award in the league that isn't polling booth because he has goals to show.

Ronaldo wining best player and striker in last seasons CL is not polling booth

oga ramu ramu so them they give highest assist award

so them no vote ronaldo as best player abi

that year aguero win golden boot him win best striker abi?

hardeycute:
He won DFB pokal last season and lost on penalties in his first season.

Conte in Madrid?Lol.That man is a coward, Jose Mourinho 1.2v

Did you watch Chelsea vs arsenal(EPL match),vs city?. I don't want a coach that would concede defeat before the blow of the whistle and his 3-5-2/3-4-3 formation always irritate me

so because of 2 matches he is a coward.

abeg did pep not use 3-4-3 community defence with no real cb and win

usbcable:
Exactly.

He has won 8 trophies in 1.5 seasons and he suddenly deserves to be replaced by one white haired German just for replacement sakes.

Even if we don't won anything this season Zidane deserves to be given next season.

If by then he still performs woefully (something I pray and don't expect) then he can be replaced with anyone Papa Perez wants.

correct guy.

just saw this, my thoughts exactly.

miremoses:
Just in

Copa Del Rey quarterfinal

Real Madrid vs Leganes

You can watch the draw on Marca TV.

Well, I hope zizou takes this serious.

semis straight, let the players become more serious both in attack and defence

hardeycute:
Enrique is the only one i wouldn't mind about his appointment

Emery who?
Conte is a coward

that psg coach

how is conte a coward, with 70% win in chelsea and only 12 loses, pep has 68% with 11 loses and more draws.

did you watch italy in euros 2016.

shebi if chelsea no keep am, psg will nab him.

miremoses:
Emery? I would rather take mourinho (if managers done finish).

Zidane signed a new contract just few days ago, it shows papa Perez and the board still trust him. But I know everything will change if we mistakely loss to psg.

the club knows it didn't prepare properly for this season, even if zidane doesn't win a trophy this year it would be understandable. the team is weaker than it has ever been, it's youth project has been 50 50 by summer there will be flushing out and serious refreshing.

zidane has shown he can work with the best of players and upcoming players, let's see how it goes

kane or icardi, hazard or neymar who knows but this sure madrid go rebuild this team.

Eden Hazard claimed that he will "never" leave Chelsea and indicated that both he and Thibaut Courtois will sign new contracts with the Premier League champions during an appearance at the NBA London Game on Thursday.

LUIS ENRIQUE
Age: 47 Nationality: Spanish Current club: None
Previous clubs: Barcelona B, Roma, Celta Vigo, Barcelona
Currently without a club following his departure from Barcelona upon the expiry of his three-year deal last summer.
Luis Enrique has been waiting for another opportunity to come up ever since and has, in the past, expressed an interest in managing in England.
Luis Enrique has not been in a post since leaving Barcelona last summer
He maintained Barcelona's golden period of success during his three seasons at the helm, winning two league titles, three Spanish Cups and the Champions League when they defeated Juventus 3-1 in 2015.
This impressive CV, his relative youth, and the attractive brand of football he championed at the Nou Camp will all be appealing to Chelsea.
Trophy cabinet: (Barcelona) La Liga 2014-15, 2015-16; Spanish Cup 2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17; Spanish Super Cup 2016; Champions League 2014-15; UEFA Super Cup 2015; FIFA Club World Cup 2015

DIEGO SIMEONE
Age: 47 Nationality: Argentine Current club:
Atletico Madrid (contracted until 2020)
Previous clubs: Racing Club, Estudiantes, River Plate, San Lorenzo, Catania, Racing Club
Simeone has been linked with a number of top jobs in recent years but will prove difficult to prise away from Atletico Madrid, where he is contracted until 2020.
Hailed for transforming an unfashionable and underachieving team into achievers both in Spain and the European competitions, Simeone certainly isn't short on passion.
Diego Simeone, the Atletico Madrid manager, is a candidate but potentially hard to get
His animated touchline antics are pretty similar to Conte's, though his approach tactically may not be to Chelsea tastes.
But guiding Atletico to two Champions League finals, beating a raft of top quality opponents along the way, has confirmed Simeone is a man who can mix it with the best bosses.
Trophy cabinet: (Estudiantes) Argentine Primera - Apertura 2006; (River Plate) Argentine Primea - Clausura 2008; (Atletico Madrid) La Liga 2013-14; Spanish Cup 2012-13; Spanish Super Cup 2014; UEFA Europa League 2011-12; UEFA Super Cup 2012; Champions League runner-up 2013-14, 2015-16

MASSIMILIANO ALLEGRI
Age: 50 Nationality: Italian Current club: Juventus (contracted until 2020)
Previous clubs: Aglianese, Real SPAL, Grosseto, Sassuolo, Cagliari, Milan
Allegri was the man who succeeded Conte at Juventus and he has successfully managed to maintain their standards domestically as well as lead them to two Champions League finals.
Though contracted to Juventus until 2020, having extended his deal just last year, Allegri does have ambitions to test himself outside of Italy for the first time.
Having managed two of the Serie A giants in Juve and Milan, Allegri certainly knows what it is like to manage under the pressure of sky-high expectations and still thrive.
Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri is one of the leading contenders for the Chelsea job
He also favours an exciting, attacking brand of football and gets winning results, which would certainly win the favour of Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich.
Given that Allegri has taken Juve forward on the European stage, the club's hierarchy will be reluctant to lose him, but the man himself may find the lure of a new challenge in England irresistible.
Trophy cabinet: (Milan) Serie A 2010-11, Italian Super Cup 2011; (Juventus) Serie A 2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17, Italian Cup 2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17; Italian Super Cup 2015; Champions League runner-up 2014-15, 2016-17
Allegri has won four Serie A titles with Milan and Juve, and reached two European finals

Chelsea have been on the search for a new manager to replace Antonio Conte if he leaves the club next summer and the candidates will keep Chelsea fans drooling till an official announcement is made.
The Italian manager is under increased pressure this season despite winning the Premier League title last season following Chelsea’s poor showing this term. Four defeats in the Premier League, coupled with a further four draws in the England top flight put Chelsea way below leaders Manchester City.
Pep Guardiola’s side have been on a stroll in the Premier League this season, having won all their games but two against Everton and Crystal Palace and have stretched the lead at the top of the table to 15 points, 16 above the Blues.
Conte may leave at the end of the season if reports in the media are anything to go by, and Chelsea’s top brass are preparign to approach four top managers with the view of luring one to the Bridge.
Former Barcelona manager Luis Enrique is tipped to be a favorite to takeover the reins at Chelsea, Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri is also on the list, Atletcio Madrid manager Diego Simeone and Napoli tactician Mauricio Sarri make the four men the Blues are chasing to replace Conte according to Daily Mail.

Chelsea Oasis version

hardeycute:
Joachim Low is not feasible to me, Pochetinno to me is an Argentine Klopp(Serial failure) who has shown he doesn't have the ability to challenge and win titles

Thomas Tuchel should be considered

tuchel ke

what of conte, emery, Enrique or better still let's just stick with zizou
