eds do we have genuine reported interest in Thorgan HAZARD?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed001's Note - genuine reported interest? I have no idea as I have not looked to see if there are reports of interest. If you mean do you have interest, then you have had the lad monitored throughout his career, I am pretty sure I remember him coming close to signing on a couple of occasions as well.}

We were the ones who sold him to his current club!

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I meant buying him back a couple of times, I should point that out. I am not sure if it is a bit like Donnarumma and his brother though, being bought to make him happy, rather than because the club want to sign him. Hard to be sure how genuine the interest is to be honest, as a lot of the monitoring could purely be as a favour to Eden, to let him know how his brother is getting on. I do know of a scout in the English game who used to work for a Prem team who would regularly get tasked to check out a family member for a senior pro who just wanted to know how they were getting on!}

Bloody hell. Some players need their egos massaged massively. It’s terrifying really. Just shows that players have too much power!

We want him for real, he's improved tenfold this season. Would be a great left or right forward or even a false nine. Can play deeper as well if you really need.

Agree0 Disagree1

I have a feeling that Leon Bailey might be the one Chelsea is most interested in and suits us the best (cos of the fact that we lack left footed attacking players and the balance it might give to our attack) .
Thorgan Hazard and Leon Bailey aren't bad names at all though having T. Hazard might help persuade his brother (Eden) to sign his new deal.
I feel we need an attacking midfielder/ Winger cos Willian and Pedro are ON and OFF as regards their best form; AND also cos no one knows how the Eden Hazard story (of signing on) might end.

Agree0 Disagree0

do anything to keep HAZARD happy.

I agree with u ed001 . I think we def bought them both so they could be close to HAZARD. because his younger brother is never going to get in our team. prob struggle in our under 21s lol.


anymore updates ed001 on our one and outs.

reports stating we are interested in Donnarumma if courtios goes.
anything else?

thanks buddy.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - Thorgan was supposed to be the better of the two but he has yet to show it.

Only thing I heard of was a possible return for Bertrand, as it came from his end though, I am not entirely sure if that is just his people trying to push City into making a move for him.}

{Ed001's Note - welcome.}

going to get pelters but hey ho wouldn't bother me if conte left to be honest
cant stand his style of football this 3 4 3 formation we have become very predictable
if we play a team below 15th in league we swap a midfielder fabregas for pedro or willian.

when we play better teams we just sit back and hope hazard does something.
if we play Barcelona with this way of playing we will get spanked
ed said a few weeks ago that 2 managers got sacked for being predictable and I think this team is more predictable than any in the top six and certainly since jose first time around.

I think conte will go to madrid personally Zidane won't be there
I understand he is frustrated in the transfer market but he started this new way of playing which technically I feel meant some good players left and some good players aren't being used to there potential.

We haven’t signed a big big name in a long time and are. It going to be buying any superstars so for me we need a superstar manager and conte is that, doesn’t let players dictate to him and I agree playing lower teams is our issue as maybe he under estimates them or just doesn’t have the player he wants, but for me his vital, who else is there, Simone is so boring, watching athletico was hard work other day, Tuchel is a foreign Brendan Rogers, great going forward but no control over players and can’t defend, Allegri isn’t exciting and only won with best team in Italy, ( contes juve )

For me Antonio Conte is the best manager out there. Chelsea board should be dissapointed if he was to leave. Give him his transfer targets and let's see what he can do.

Conte and that formation won us the league last year. The only problem I have is when we play the lower teams in happy starting with the formation but if things ain't going our way 3 centre backs seem to stay on the pitch when we don't need them, take one of them off and put a attacker on. If Conte was ever to leave at a long shot I wouldn't mind JT and lamps having go.

Agree1 Disagree0

Ancelotti in a heart beat. Some of the play under him was phenomenal. But I do think a lot of the issues we have with lower div teams is the mentality of the players rather then the coach. He’s not the one who crosses the white line. Some days he plays the same team. Same team who can perform against high end opposition (Atletico) and then play poorly against others. So can’t see if being the managers fault.

Agree0 Disagree1

08 Jan 2018 19:04:44
Only my opinion but ancelotti I feel isn’t the same man as before, times change and would be a step back, as for JT or lamps I wouldn’t want, his a legend at the club and should stay that way, come through youth maybe and become assistant but not a fan of ex legends taking over as manger,

Carlo for me too I agree with most on these posts I like Conte but he’s no plan B and we become so predictable I am by no means a manager but I can tell you most of time exactly what he’s going to do and who we have two styles or should I say two ways of setting up and it’s being worked out every week and that’s what’s making it so hard to beat the smaller teams.

Know body is going to come in and have full control of transfers and day to day activities but am sure there told that before they get hired that’s just how Mr Abramovich wants the club to be run and who are we to tell him other wise for what he’s done for this great club of ours.

Think it’s just the way of the world players / managers just come and go now if Conte leaves he leaves we will still get a good manager and still be fighting for all 4 top trophies same with the player hazard leaves am sure they will sort it I’d be a little more frightened if hazard was to go than Conte though. Again I like Conte but would take Carlo if he was to leave.
