Chelsea

Yeah he is a beast, admittedly I haven't been keeping track of Napoli since they dropped off in Serie A but if he's anything like he was a few years ago, they've got a quality CB on their hands.

So Chelsea were loaned £5m a week by the Abromovich, so essentially loss making, how can the the new regime throw £100m in the transfer window, again without making up the losses?

There’s something dodgy about this takeover to me. Chelsea owed Abramovich £1.6bn this seemingly has been written off in the takeover, but it amounts to a £1.6bn cash investment by the owner which is surely against the financial rules in both the PL and Europe. (QPR were charged over something similar by the EFL for a much smaller amount.) Due to sanctions they couldn't have paid it back to Abramovich when the club was sold but from a football point of view it has given them an U fair advantage. And as you say Abramovich was loaning them more money every month to keep them afloat, I don't see how they are covering these losses and spending like they are if they are to stay within the rules.

Koulibailly and Kounde are a def upgrade on Rudiger and Christiansen

Just how can this happen ?

[Doc_Piptorious]

He is a bloody good CB and still remember him keeping an in form Salah under wraps.

He is good in a two man CB set up, think in a three man set up like that of Chelsea he would be even better.

Big, very strong, faster than most forwards or at least as fast at worst, and no slouch in reading the play.

If they get Kimpembe and Koulibailly it will be a good bit of business for them. If not for Silva still being at the back for them I wld have said it was Tuchel looking to add real pace to the centre of his back line.

Unless Tuchel plans to drop Silva more often and go with Koulibailly, Kimpembe and Ake as a CB trio (Hope they do not try to get a third CB whose surname starts with a K though )

They really might be doing it then.

Best hope nobody is looking to make nicknames like was done for Shearer and Sutton.

Exactly! 1.6bn loan written off then - Sterling for 50m, Koulibaly for 35m (?), Kounde for 60m = best part of 150m quid!

Remember this is the fan base that thought they could just change the red to blue on our Torres banner, Shankley Gates & all! I would not give them credit for not joining the dots on triple K.

Fancy a laugh?

What a whopper

[Exiled_red]

was that an attempted panenka?

He’ll get some stick for that one in the dressing room!

WTF is a “Sledge-o-matic”?!?

[Bender]

Tuchel the whining little ****.....Moaning about needing players urgently....as a manager he has failed to improve Zayich,Pulisic,Havertz,Mount amongst others...mark of a top manager is making good players even better and he has failed.

Tuchel for me is an excellent coach. He excels tactically, is very good at countering the tactics of elite managers, very good at knowing what he wants to happen with a team and how to lay all that out.


However he seems to be awful at the human side of sport. Really poor at man managment and seems to lack empathy when it comes to talking about other human beings at times.

If he was managing a team of emotionless drones, his teams would be unstoppable.

The biggest challenge to Tuchel is Tuchel.

Great coach, ****ing souless serial killer of a human being.

I reckon he would be awesome at the old FM games.

Doesn't sound that dissimilar to Guardiola, when you lay it out like that, just with less money over the years
