That doesn't really surprise me. I think they're currently in a false position. They've had some good results lately, but I think it's only a matter of time before their luck runs out.

To be honest that's the difference between us and the teams above us. They generally mop the floor with teams in the bottom half whereas even if we win, we make hard work of it. But we all know this, our style isn't yet able to cut through teams. I think that even in an optimistic world, it's going to take another two seasons to fully transition to that kind of style, requiring more technical players to come through the academy and / or purchased when we can't develop them. But I do think it's worth persevering with because though Spurs bottled the league and might possibly have done the same again this season, they've stayed up the business end of the table whereas we've fallen off. And it's because teams can deal with our counter attacking style, but teams find it much harder to deal with technical football that is fast and passes between the lines. If we could do both, we could well be up in the top 4 slots ourselves... we've beaten two of the better teams and played very well against 2 others (Liverpool and Man United).

The guys contracted till June 2020, so another year and a half left, but they've accepted a "low bid" due to that. Reading between the lines, think Pulisic pushed for this one.

Will be a big miss....but I am an eternal optimist, one goes another comes...ala Gullit,Zola,Ardilles.....etc. All of them had their moments...but now many including Hazzard gave...5/5. run of games....Chelsea aren't running away with the league.... Man.city star players,also not!!! ... For me,without being bias...Vardy just as that something special,others don't have like Hazzard,Suarez... Just saying it takes,all types to create and leave behind fond memories... by n by..Weller remains my no1,he was English!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given how high profile the player is over there and how Chelsea go on US tours very often, from a commerical opportunity it could be huge. The player is very highly rated, but not 58m rated. If he is worth that much, then how much is Sancho worth!? Anyway Chelsea are famous for big money transfers that don't play. Doubt he will be another Drinkwater but there is no guarantee he'll be great. Could be another Moratta for sure. That said with Pedro and Willian getting on a bit, I can see why they were in for this type of player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicesterpool Posted 2 January 2019 Share Posted 2 January 2019 Cardiff are investigating Craig Bellamy for bullying and racist allegations, it is said that during his time as development coach there he made anti english comments to English based players, pressed players to change there international status from English to Welsh, muted the English national anthem during the world cup. https://www.90min.com/posts/6261199-cardiff-coach-craig-bellamy-accused-of-bullying-intimidating-english-youngster-over-nationality Can't say it surprises come across as nasty piece of work, be interesting to see if he keeps his job on Sky. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sancho has been incredible this season for BVB. From a selfish standpoint, i wish Pulisic signed with Liverpool instead. I think he would fit better tactically, into their system. He already has familiarity with Klopp, and I think he could develop better without the supporters' expectations as being Hazard's "replacement." As if anyone Chelsea is going to bring into the club will be as good as Hazard. Having watched Pulisic quite a lot, I think he is very good, but he is by no means a finished product. He tends to frustrate, like Mahrez, in that he likes to dribble a bit too much when you'd rather he just pass/shoot. Sarri will probably break him of that. If Chelsea are patient enough with him, I can see him developing into one of the better wingers in the premier league. But knowing Chelsea, they'll consider him a failure after three matches and ship him away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
