Tbh without di matteo, chelsea are screwed. His the one who picked us up after avb and got us to be champions or europe. Apparently Drogba put in for a loan request as chinese season is over but it got denied
Rafa Benitez has only signed until the end of the season, so Roman Abramovich must still be hoping Pep Guardiola may want to come for the next season after his sabbatical. Plus I see why Abramovich has brought Benitez in - he spent £50m on Torres who lets be honest hasn't lit up Stamford Bridge like he did Anfield. Who was manager when Torres was at his most lethal? Exactly, if anyone can get him to play it's Benitez. Abramovich doesn't make mistakes in business, and he's determined to make Torres perform - one way or another. Even if he sells him on he needs Torres to at least find his old form to minimise loss on transfer fees.
Torres hasn't performed well because his heart hasn't been in Chelsea. He didn't want to leave Lpool in the first place.
Liverpool fan here. A lot of Kopites are unhappy with Benitez for taking the job but I for one wish Rafa all the best. I would only get offended if Rafa took the United or Everton job tbh. Don't think Chelsea fans will feel the same though. They hate Rafa
I hope pep doesn't go to Chelsea I'm guessing Murinho goes back there, unless city fire Mancini then he might end up at city. As for Chelsea it's time to get rid of Terry he has to much power RDM got Chelsea what no other coach could and that's the Champions League but guess Abra doesn't believe in loyalty and he's right it's his toy to do as he wishes, but I believe RDM was the right man for Chelsea
If Ferguson retires my heart would be at peace if Pep or Jose got the job. (Manu Supporter) I am a tad disappointed with Di Mat getting the boot. Chelsea ARE screwed. They should have got Pep instead of Rafa. I don't think under Rafa they will get far. Matteo did a great job at least he helped them achieve their goals and won champions league they wouldn't have done that under AVB. :| Torres lost his spark after he joined Chelsea. He is not special anymore. However he is improving~ baby steps.. a waste of 50m I'd say same thing happened with Berbatov. They should sell Torres and buy another player or a few lol
Don't know much about Pep do you? Roman Abramovich wanted Pep Guardiola. It was GUARDIOLA who didn't want to discuss any job opportunities until the new year.
What are you talking about I already knew pep was taking a year out I'm talking about pep based on his skills and my PERSONAL opinion on who should have been manager for Chelsea DiMat shouldn't have got the boot.
If Ferguson retires it will be the end of a generation. Thankfully a new one will be born. Chelsea lost their mind when hiring Rafa. Jose won't come back. It would be stupid for his career. Although I read he is moving soon. Apparently his daughter is studying in this art school in England. Nice excuse to go to Manchester United. Someone got tired of losing against Barcelona.
Chelsea cant sell torres until he gets his form back, otherwise he will be hard to sell and be sold at a loss. Bring louis to midfield, his always up there anyway. Mata and louis all the way <3 Also need lakaku back from loan. We are missing someone strong upfront who can push past everyone!
Alex Ferguson pointed something out to the media today which I do find quite funny. In two weeks time Chelsea have the opportunity to win the World Club Championship as defending CL winners. Rafa could win his second WCC winners medal of his career. His other one came when he took over from Jose Mourinho at Inter Milan - after they had already won the CL the previous year. So if Chelsea win then Rafa will have two medals where he did none of the hard work qualifying.
Rafa did great at liverpool, plys Di Matteo should of been given a whole season instead of been sacked so early into the season.
Rafa is only the interim manager. He'll most probably be sacked at season end to make way for Pep Guardiola. Also, Im not quite sure of Pep's managerial capabilities. Agreed, he won a lot of trophies with Barcelona but the Barca team he managed was just brilliant. I don't know if he's really that good, or barca made him look good.
