BangrakBob Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 2 hours ago, oldgit said: According to Costa, Conte has sent him a text saying that "he is no longer in his plans" for the coming season. I wouldn't have thought that sending a text was Conte's style but, it appears to me that Costa 's flirtation with joining a club in the Chinese League in January, was too much for him to bear. He waited until the season was over, then f****d him off. It now looks odds on Lukaku is returning. Good to hear, that Chinese sulking put Chelsea's season in jeopardy. As a boss you can't tolerate that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will start at <23 but has a much better chance of breaking into the 1st team at Anfield. Tammy Abraham was in front of him at Chelsea....and he'l probably be loaned out again. He didn't stand a chance of breaking thru' at the Bridge. Hopefully can get tournament top goalscorer if he plays in the final today. Would join previous youngsters Messi and Aguero if he does Edited June 10, 2017 by wilai 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithsimmonds Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Board meets today and apparently Antonio is on thin ice.

champers Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Another manager engineering his way to the exit door? Collect £10 million plus on the way out. Thomas Tuschel, ex Dortmund boss, has shown himself to be a man of principle so you can rule him out. Luis Enrique will get the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilai Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Dunno if it's true but apparently Conte first sent a general text to all the players wishing happy hols but keep fit etc. Costa sent a flippant reply, to which Conte responded with the " don't worry I don't want you here anyway" retort.

Chelsea want to appoint a new number 2 probably from within its own set-up to replace Steve Holland ....Conte wants to appoint his own number 2 (rumoured to be Pirlo ) plus he wants overall control of transfers. It,s no coincidence that from all levels 1st Team right down to the under 9,s that they are all coached to play the same system....makes sense if that system is successful (which it is) to promote from within (like your old boot room).....so we can expect to see Jody Morris as our new coach anytime in the next 5 years 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldgit Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Fanfare of trumpets! Sky sources have announced that Chelsea are "in talks to sign Tiemoue Bakayoko and Alex Sandro". Well, we've been in talks for weeks to sign these two but, given the excitement in the Sky studios, it looks like that their signatures will be penned very, very soon. From what I've seen, they will be excellent additions to the squad. If we can get Thomas Lemar and Douglas Costa as well this transfer window, I'll be ecstatic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't count those chickens just yet "Juventus have rejected the Chelsea offer for Sandro, which was worth 60 million euros." Sandro set to sign new Juventus contract There is now speculation in Italy that Sandro will sign a new contract until 2020 with Juventus and earn 3.5 million euros per season. Gazzetta add that Juventus do not see a suitable replacement in the transfer market for Sandro, and are unwilling to let him go. As a result, even an offer of 70 million euros from Chelsea will not be enough to persuade them to sell Sandro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Muton Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Chelsea TV online - any of you got it in Thailand? I subscribed when I was in the UK and am thinking about signing up again here, but have a couple of queries. Can we receive live match audio feed here? the reason I ask is that both 5 Live and TS are blanked out, quoting lack of audio rights in Thailand - although I've been unable to find any English language online radio commentary within Thailand. Also, can we view the delayed showing of matches, are they shown at midnight UK time on the night of the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilai Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 ^ Had it last season via my IPTV MAG Box. Like a few other channels though, it has dropped off this close season. Hopefully these will be back when the new season starts. I will be e-mailing the provider regarding the LFC TV channel this week so will mention the CFC channel as well. Will PM you if I get a positive response along with details of how to get the box/contract. The channels are from UK so whatever was on CFC TV there is mirrored on the channel you get here. As to getting radio commentaries, have a look at using a VPN on your computer/mobile (Browsec or similar) You can choose a UK internet address and therefore get radio transmissions. The IPTV box mentioned above also provides Talksport and R5 Live as well as many other UK Radio Stations but I've never used the facility as the TV shows every game live from one place or another.
