I can't believe how negative the fans are being. If United had any other manager besides Jose, you wouldn't care. Move on. I still believe we will make class signings. Having said that, I am taking a break from posting for a while, the amount of needless negativity is depressing.

26 May 2016 23:24:48
I've just scrolled through the page and the only one who mentioned Jose. Drum roll please. Is you.

27 May 2016 07:36:18
I'm glad mourinho has gone. Grateful for what he won for our club. But I can't stand him, I can't stand his tactics and I can't stand the way he manages and treats players, staff. As far as I'm concerned he ruined everything since he came here by selling de Bruyne lukaku and mata.

27 May 2016 08:40:33
My honest opinion is that Jose is where he truly wanted to be. Even though we won the league on his return, I always felt like he got a little too comfortable like he felt untouchable. He lost his way at Chelsea and I'm sure everyone at Chelsea, fans and players appreciate what Jose did for the club. But having said this the club where right in sacking him. If Utd spend big then I'm sure he will be successful but we have a bright future with a lot of English young players so onwards and upwards.

Ed, are you able to tell us any other players Conte has asked Chelsea to look to - or even any areas of the pitch he's asked for particular focus on?

{Ed002's Note - I am not getting into providing lists of players.}

26 May 2016 21:27:36
We are linked with all these names Lukaku, Griezmann but our wimpish transfer policy is such that we will end up with a name that nobody has heard of. We just walk away when big amounts are involved. Sorry, I have no faith in out transfer poicy.

26 May 2016 22:00:43
Here here! Absolutely gone down the carrot pan we used to be so good but now we chasing players who want champion league! I fear for this club.

26 May 2016 22:08:59
Boring post.

26 May 2016 22:09:26
Why don't you just go off then and support Fulham.

26 May 2016 22:17:51
It's all too easy to spend money when it's not yours. If a deal is unviable for the club, (think of the overall cost, not just the reported transfer fee) then they will walk away.

FFP or has Roman tightened the purse strings?

26 May 2016 23:03:04
Sounds like CFCFOREVER and G8 is a papa and hector fan! Or maybe Nathan or still hoping for Marin the German messi to shine and were happy when kdb was sold with the hope of Moses being better.

Dagenham gooner it's not Roman tightening the purse strings ITS buying the right players and realistic players at that! Stop chasing theses super stars at top clubs when they not going to give us a glance with no CL football.

We run this crap system of one in one out when other clubs strengthen and have a deep squad! Look at us last year our strikers Costa with injuries backed up with remy and falcao! Our midfield is weak and we have a ageing back 4!

But guess it's ok tho because hector and van ginkel will be back to save the bloody day next year.

I am a long term fan who remembers when we were really in the duldrums. Last season was a cakewalk compared to the struggles of the 80s.

26 May 2016 23:49:22
Am late 80s so seen it all myself what's your point! There ant one! You can't go away from the fact from the original poster point there been some terrible decisions.

27 May 2016 00:47:32
Agree if you look at some buys and sales most have been terrible for us either way.

27 May 2016 07:02:32
Most have been terrible for us?

I can see why ed002 doesn't bother replying to much anymore.

26 May 2016 15:50:39
Chelsea's Cavani bid falls through due to the departure of Ibrahimovic from PSG. Also Ed any interest in Griezmann?

{Ed002's Note - Try the search engine.}

26 May 2016 19:44:37
Have you not been reading the page man?

26 May 2016 20:11:51
Chelsea lead the race for Griezmann according to the Metro, most likely a better option than Cavani anyway.

26 May 2016 23:07:00
Metro is the worst source you can read from! The editor plays football manager the night before he punishes the paper.

26 May 2016 05:27:47
A few rumours this morning about Utd being interested in Willian. If the figures being talked about (60m) would you sell. I would bite their arm off!

26 May 2016 06:49:25
Are you related to luis Suarez.

26 May 2016 07:11:46
I'd take that without second thought.

26 May 2016 07:27:25
I'd let him go for 40.

26 May 2016 09:29:28
Half a dozen free kicks seemed to earn him a whole lot of praise for last season, the rest of his stats are not impressive at all and 2nd half of the season he went missing. 60Million I would take that.

26 May 2016 09:33:20
Put him in a midfield 3 and he could be world class. Very similar to the way iniesta is used at barca.

26 May 2016 09:37:32
Juan Mata was my fav player (along with the club and supporters for two years) however, the profit made on him was great. If someone wants Willian at a profit for us, and he wants to go then do it! let's not get confused with " OUR" lifelong support of a club v's players personal money ambitions during their somewhat limited career span. This is professional sport nowadays, there is no longer the loyalty thing that was present in years gone by. Hence my (often relayed on here) thoughts re JT, MLS don't want him, China don't want him (at his outrageous wage demands) and he can't cut it anymore in the epl. Chelsea has made this man a multi millionaire over the years compared to an Osgood or Grieves who gave easily as much, without the financial reward, to our club, so forgive me if I have a serious issue with the present players who have a price for their loyalty. let's not forget that most of the present day players will be "sunning" it up somewhere whilst us supporters will be scrimping and saving to buy our season tickets to continue to support our club. Reality v's greed IMO. Terrible rant, I'm sorry fellow fans.
