ferguson1 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Chelsea could do a lot worse than take Frank Lampard and Jody Morris back to the club. Think they would both jump at it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 This makes interesting reading, a year later. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/mar/04/antonio-conte-chelsea-jamie-redknapp-gary-neville-sky-sports Quote Antonio Conte branded the Sky Sports pundits Jamie Redknapp and Gary Neville “stupid” after they described Chelsea’s display in their 1-0 defeat by Manchester City as “anti-football” and “embarrassing” respectively. Redknapp also labelled Chelsea’s performance as a “crime against football” while Neville, who was on co-commentary duties at the Etihad Stadium, said the visiting players had performed like “mannequins”. Informed of the comments, Conte said: “The pundit has to use the head to understand when you speak about tactics. I think you must have knowledge to speak about tactics and not only to speak in a stupid way. You have to accept every criticism but I am not so stupid to play against Manchester Cityopen and to lose 3-0 or 4-0. I bet he's had a good laugh tonight.

A back 4 with Luiz at the heart of it is very suspect against the top 6. Bingo. Can see Chelsea finishing 6th. They need to take the europa league very seriously now. Actually some Chelsea fans on twitter who want Mourinho back for a third spell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LakotaDakota Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 The job has just got a bit more difficult for the next manager as Chelsea have been banned from signing any players for the next 2 transfer windows for breaching rules on under 18's transfers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 ban for signing 27 kids illegally that they then never play, brilliant means that the hazard transfer value will go up by 25% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Doubt the ban will stand. Money talks and FIFA will probably suspend it after appeal as it stands though, sacking Sarri has become more problematical if the new manager couldn’t sign new players. The ban will not restrict them from selling so I expect both Hazard and Willian to be amongst the leavers. if their appeal fails, I wonder if Abramovich will call it a day and attempt to sell the club (new owners could lead to a fresh transfer ban appeal too maybe)?

Demitri_C Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 So Tammy also stays that means for them not that we would have had any hope of signing him on a permanent contract anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Bet they'll get it postponed for 1 window so they can still do deals in the summer, possibly on a 1 in, 1 out way. Then they'll still be able to sign players over the following 2 windows. They'll just wont be able to register or use them til the ban is over.

Fingers crossed the ban stands though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Guaranteed they'll appeal and sign/sell players while the appeal is pending. Barcelona signed Luis Suarez and Ivan Rakitic in the window after their ban was first announced iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
