Na to sign this Dybala boy be the koko. Boy has got some serious great technique and a good workrate too. With him on the right side of our attack and Hazard on the left, na fire be that. Wouldn't mind paying 60milla for him, then get to cash on Willian to recoup some loss. |

Conte: "Tomorrow won’t be easy. Wolves beat Liverpool away and Stoke away. We must pay great attention because they showed in the recent past they have the capability to beat great teams. I hope tomorrow will be different and Chelsea will reach the next round." |

raumdeuter: But I am not blaming any of those managers. The fault lies with Roman and his lackeys. They have been the constants in those years not JM who managed Chelsea for only about 33% of the period we are talking about. Ryan Bertrand who had some potential went on 9 loans in 9 years and over a senior eligibility period of 9 years played about 30 matches for them. Torres your friend played week in week out despite only being as potent as Lord Varys, while young talented strikers like Lukaku and Sturridge were not given much opportunity. What happened to Rashford is not possible with the Chelsea set up. |

Antonio Conte: "I don't know about this situation because I think now it's very important to be focused on the present and not to look so far forward," "I think now for the players, for the people who work for Chelsea, and for me it's important to be focused on the present. At the end of the season we'll see the situation." Asked if he was confident of keeping Costa he said: "Yes, I'm confident, but I repeat now it's important to keep the great concentration for the present. "Tomorrow's game against Wolverhampton is the present. We must go into the next round and then, I repeat, this situation will be better to face at the end of the season." Don't know if I'm reading too much into Conte's words, but he seems to not be eager to get the contract done asap. Maybe he has other ideas? Btw, Here's a Video of Belotti. Enjoy guys .

Andrea Belotti is good, but hope he doesn't turn out to be another Ciro Immobile. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Thecassanova: 8:21am On Feb 18, 2017 |
^^ wow I prefer Belotti, apart from his scoring ability he dribbles and run well into positions. Costa should please go to china. Left to me I prefer this Belotti guy taking up our major 9 next season. |

Brestar: Well, if you must know, Italian football is on the decline, and one would be shopping there at his own risk. After the scandal of 2006, when it was proved that some teams were involved in match-fixing, foreign investors ditched the league, leaving Italians to manage their league. That was when it all started going downhill. Good players had to move to leagues where the money is, leaving the quality of football in Italy to decline significantly. So in order to stay competitive in Europe, Italians switched to more defensive football and enforced the famous Catenaccio. Reason Italian football seems to look slow and tactical. The players who currently seem to be making waves there, are the ones who're benefitting from the setup; slow tempo and tactical footie. Acquiring them can be a risk because you cant really tell if they'll thrive where the tempo is fast and where individual technique is placed above collective tactical setup. We saw that with Ciro until he joined Dortmund and spelt out his surname, Immobile. I can only hope that isn't the case with this Belotti guy. If he were to be with Juventus, Roma or even Napoli, sides who tend to move the ball quicker in Italy, I might consider signing him, but Torino? Nah nah baby. 2 Likes |

Griffon: Are you saying that Serie A only became 'slow and tactical' after the 2006 scandal? ? ? Don't forget that for every Ciro Immobile there is a Luca Toni. 3 Likes |

timbros:Was Luca Toni really that great outside seria A/Italy |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by timbros(m): 3:29pm On Feb 18, 2017 |
hensben: Bundesliga top scorer (24) in his first season. Overall in his first season 39 goals and 12 assists in 46 matches for someone coming from a 'slow tempo' league, a league where Ciro spelled out his surname is definitely GREAT. Was Zlatan ever great outside/post Serie A? Someone here mentioned Dybala as a perfect buy for Chelsea. Remind me again where he plays? |

timbros: Go through my post again and stop yarning anyhow. I would have any fella from Juve, Roma or Napoli because there's a gulf difference in their style of play compared to the other teams in Italy. This is not to mention that they are playing in Europe, thereby, exposing their players to tougher challenges. This is something you cant say about Torino and Belotti. timbros: I don't care how you put it, just know it that the current struggling state of Italian football can be traced back to calciopoli - the 2006 scandal. |

Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by timbros(m): 4:20pm On Feb 18, 2017 |
Griffon: There is no other way to put it. You directly linked the Serie A slow pace to the 2006 scandal. That's very wrong and you know it. From time immemorial we know Serie A as a highly tactical and slow paced league. Even before 2006. As a matter of fact, in the period starting from 2006 till date, Italian teams made 3 Champions League final, winning 2. Their slow paced footie have not hindered them conquering Europe. Why should the pace of a league determine the career of a young energetic player who has all the qualities of a number 9? Using Ciro Immobile as an example to show that Belotti will struggle outside Italy is flawed that's why I mentioned Luca Toni. Interestingly you skipped that part. If Dybala playing for Juve is the reason why he can succeed outside Italy, was Zlatan playing for either Juve, Roma or Napoli when he left for Barca? Didn't he succeed outside Italy? 4 Likes |
