[Rival Watch] Conte to Chelsea Confirmed (self.reddevils)

ssb5107Herrera が 投稿

All our rivals seem to have figured out their managers for next season while we are sending mixed messages! Lvg is now deciding preseason tour plans, while everyone and their Goddamn mother say José's arrival is imminent. Does this change anything?

Nothing good can come from announcing LVG being sacked whilst we still have a shot for top 4.

[–]CalimariaeSolskjaer 14ポイント15ポイント  (2子コメント)

Exactly.

I don't think LVG will be here next season, but there is literally no reason to appoint Mourinho right now.

[–]targeryian 7ポイント8ポイント  (1子コメント)

I seriously hope he's not here next season. I know it's hard to see all other clubs seemingly preparing for next season already but I think we just have to ride this fucked up wave.

[–]jbiresqHerrera 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

By reading all the stuff coming from his agents I think Mourinho knows who he wants to get if he's here. And the squad is super thin so it's not as if he'll need to get rid of tons of players. So it's not as bad as it seems.

But I agree that this parallel track stuff, where LVG is planning as if he's the manager (because he certainly doesn't think he'll get sacked) while Mourinho and Mendes go talk to players is not helpful.

I'm certain if we get top 4 LVG stays...

[–]ibaRRaVzLaWayne Rooney, United Legend. 9ポイント10ポイント  (5子コメント)

Me too. This scares me so much. I really want us to be in the CL next season, but one more year of Van Gaal would halt us from making any further progress and Mourinho would go elsewhere.

[–]mrpiggywinkles52Rooney 1ポイント2ポイント  (4子コメント)

Out of interest what would you prefer? Personally I'd forgo the Champions League to get Mourinho.

[–]YourTelevisionRooney 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

It's a slippery slope making the CL once in three years. I'd rather get top 4 personally

[–]mrpiggywinkles52Rooney 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think though, we get it this year, next year will be a lot tougher, You've got Liverpool and Tottenham who are only going to get better, West Ham as well, Leicster might still be doing well, Chelsea are recovering with Conte,City with Pep, Arsenal will be there as well, IMO it's very unlikely that LVG will get us top 4 next year anyways much less win the league, I think Mourinho is the better option.

[–]IBENGM 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think they haven't announce mourinho to keep players focused and target Top 4 so even if LVG get top 4 i still think he will still be sucked to get mourinho, because now is the only chance to get him and LVG will retire after just one season anyway!

[–]ibaRRaVzLaWayne Rooney, United Legend. 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Ideally, I'd settle with a top 4 finish and Mourinho here next season, lol.

[–]manudevil7Beckham 20ポイント21ポイント  (0子コメント)

That's another one Di Marzio got right.

[–]mufcirclejerk 13ポイント14ポイント  (2子コメント)

we are sending mixed messages!

No, we aren't.

[–]ssb5107Herrera[S] -3ポイント-2ポイント  (1子コメント)

the club hasn't issued a statement regarding his future amidst all the Mou talk! Neither have they assured him that he will finish his tenure...

[–]mufcirclejerk 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

I don't think you know what mixed messages are.

[–]K-QuickBeckham 6ポイント7ポイント  (1子コメント)

Really interesting appointment; the likes of Hazard, Willian, Oscar etc. better hope he has more than a 3-5-2 system in him.

[–]shinkag 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

He plays 433 regularly, I remember a few seasons ago he wanted Nani so he could use it

[–]ballsywallsyBerbalove 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Does this change anything?

How are we supposed to know? Everyone here just like everyone out there are in the dark about what's going on inside the club. Might as well wait till the season ends and see if the club comes up with an offical statement regarding this whole issue.

[–]shinkag 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Mourinho

[–]danskzwag 4ポイント5ポイント  (3子コメント)

If LVG makes top 4 I can see him staying tbh

[–]manudevil7Beckham 13ポイント14ポイント  (2子コメント)

This is what I fear. This is an Arsenal mindset. Finishing fourth should never be good enough for us.

[–]jbiresqHerrera 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

I wouldn't call it an Arsenal mindset because I don't think the board thinks 4th is good enough. It's more that there are factions in the club that really like LVG and others that really, really want the Class of 92 to be running the club.

[–]danskzwag 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

We already have a arsenal mindset the board are clearly after the CL revenue

[–]dyze_ 4ポイント5ポイント  (4子コメント)

Chelsea have Conte, City Guardiola, Liverpool Klopp and we have a manager that failed to qualify in a UCL group with PSV, CSKA and Wolfsburg after spent more than £250m on players. ffs

[–]manudevil7Beckham 10ポイント11ポイント  (0子コメント)

Also, he couldn't beat Midtjylland in Denmark, got eliminated by Liverpool in the EL, blew a 2-0 lead to Newcastlle, lost to Middlesborough on penalties, couldn't beat Sheffield Wednesday in 90 minutes, lost to Bournemouth, lost to Sunderland in a must win game, and lost to Norwich.

Can we please give him a lifetime contract?

[–]phrunkSAF 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Wasn't Klopp in the bottom half of the Bundesliga not too long ago?

[–]ssb5107Herrera[S] 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

on the flip side - considering almost every team in the PL will be considered a "big" team. LvG's record might earn him the year :)

[–]Trickybuz93van Persie 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

after spent more than £250m on players

Can we go back to players bought instead of how much was spent? The prices of players now are much higher than the numbers would make it look.

[–]nrshakyaRooney 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

imminent* although it might well be eminent as well.

Will make next season fun. Two of the best tacticians in Conte and Pep in the PL. We'll have to be up for it.

Thanks! posted from phone...

[–]swaggleDoreGriezman 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

With so many quality managers in PL now I don't think Van Gaal has chance of being retained

[–]FeezbullGiggs 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

He could be if we finish top 4 somehow. That's what the board might base it off.

[–]jorgelucas7Memphis 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I honestly don't see the point of announcing Mou now. Everyby knows he's coming. Let's try to save some face for LvG, the man deserves it. Fak.

[–]Creamy_Goodne55 0ポイント1ポイント  (3子コメント)

Several top journalists all saying his no1 target is Lukaku and he wants to go back to Chelsea.

Kicks any interest in him in the bud I think. Utterly pointless starting a bidding war on a player thats already going to cost close to 50 million.

[–]nainaisson 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Makes sense considering Diego Costa is probably going back to Atletico.

[–]monsterm1dget 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

Would Lukaku really be the kind of striker we need? We should mostly look for wingers IMO, with Rashford and Martial doing well up top.

[–]Creamy_Goodne55 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

I said the other day we dont need to sign a world class striker for 50+ million, the perfect outcome for us would be to sign a older striker like Zlatan and let them have a couple of years whilst Rashford and Martial gets ready to be no1.

A LOT of people on here disagreed with me though and though the best thing the club could do is go and get Lukaku
