Think Alonso will be good, unsure about Lampard, think Gerrard will struggle at Rangers.
 
I think the only thing that will go against Lamps, is that from what I hear Derby is walking an extremely fine line financially, and the club is very poorly run.

I'm not even a Chelsea fan (huge Lamps fan though) but I'm excited to see what happens.
 
What a waste of his better part of development years and most of his career


Many Stamford Bridge regulars will not have heard of Matej Delac and even fewer would recognise him, but the goalkeeper leaves #CFC without a hint of regret, writes @OliverKayTimeshttps://www.thetime


The following players will leave Chelsea this summer when their contract expires on the 30th of June:

Mitchell Beeney
Isaac Christie-Davies
Cole DaSilva
Matej Delac
Eduardo
Jordan Houghton
Renedi Masampu
Wallace
Tushaun-Tyreese Walters

Not that much of a shocker seeing as it's been touted since before the end of the season, the only shock is that it has taken so long to happen. Or are you being scarastic?

Edit:
"Shocker"

It is baffling how long it took and only Arsenal has been recruiting well for now. United also a bit.
 
Eden Hazard: “After 6 wonderful years at Chelsea it might be time to discover something different. Certainly after this World Cup. I can decide if I want to stay or go, but Chelsea will make the final decision - if they want to let me go. You all know my preferred destination.”
 
Chelsea fans; worried? Not baiting, just curious, really. Roman's visa problems, no CL, if he doesn't get his visa sorted will he keep pumping money in? Courtois wants out, Hazard might want out, Willian's leaving. Squad isn't exactly balanced as it is.
 
I think Sarri has come in at the wrong time.

Weakest looking Chelsea squad in some years and set to lose Courtois and Hazard.

I hope he gets time to build, if he can get Chelsea playing anything like his Napoli, we're in for a treat

Bit strange saying he’s board of the transfer market and he prefers to train players than spend on them. Tbh sure Klopp said the same so most likely spend a fair wack. Especially if players leave.

He will have to I'd think. More pressure than at Napoli. Not sure what Chelsea will get to spend but they will need to spend it!

Or, maybe they see Sarri as the man to transition in to using their acadamy instead of spending big money, because god knows if Abramovic will be putting much in to the club now!

Chelsea have to be committed to Sari for a few years if this is to work. Fans included. Same as at Arsenal now with the polar opposite of Wenger. As it will be Utd if they try go attacking after Mourinho. You’re changing a complete philosophy. It’ll need patience and time through the inevitable dips but if they stick with him, the payoff will be imemense.

Napoli have been Italy’s version of Klopp’s L’pool the last couple of years. Exhilarating side to watch.

Looking at all the opposition, presuming Pep diesn’t stay much longer as is his want, Sari at Chelsea would concern me the most the next 2 or 3 years.

But he must be afforded the time. Which would be a first for the Russian.
 

Once a Blue, always a Blue!

Gianfranco Zola will join Maurizio Sarri's backroom team as Assistant first team coach! Welcome home, Gianfranco!

I'd say Sarri/Napoli were closer to a Pep/City than a Klopp/Liverpool. Heavily focused on technical football & positional play, not so much 'heavy metal' gegenpressing. But I get your comparison; outperforming what he has available to him & doing it in an attractive manner.

Oh he's definitely from the Pep school. That said, he was exceptionally bad at rotation with Napoli, and it probably cost them the title, so remains to se seen if he will do better with that. That said, he might well bin off the Europa league entirely
 
Can’t wait to see how he performs in England. Loved watching his Napoli side. Your right Mike it was pretty much the same 11 throughout the whole season. Depending on who they lose and bring in. I wouldn’t be surprised by that either. Just have s major push at the league or to get back in the CL.
