if Kante gone, this team will collapse

rumor:

Maurizio Sarri will be allowed to join Chelsea if they sign a ‘gentlemen’s agreement’ not to activate Napoli release clauses, claim Sportitalia.

Transfer guru Alfredo Pedullà has been saying for some time that Sarri will be the new Chelsea Coach, even when negotiations seemed to have broken down definitively.

He insists the breakthrough will come not by paying €8m or even €4.5m, as the release clause in his contract has now expired.

What President Aurelio De Laurentiis wants is to ensure his old tactician doesn’t dismantle the current Napoli squad under new boss Carlo Ancelotti.

He’ll therefore release Sarri for a minimal fee if Chelsea also sign a ‘gentlemen’s agreement’ promising not to poach players from Napoli without their consent.

That means avoiding the stars who have release clauses in their contracts – Elseid Hysaj, Raul Albiol and Piotr Zielinski.

They should also halt their interest in Kalidou Koulibaly, who doesn’t have a release clause.

Albania international full-back Hysaj has a release clause worth €50m, Poland midfielder Zielinski’s is €65m and Spanish centre-back Albiol is available for just €6m.

selamat hari raya and happy hols to all! hopefully our team will be back stronger next season

costa says hi from world cup.

hopefully Chelsea make a bid for this fella. seems to be talented
his 1st shot on target for World Cup, scores.
2nd goal was the 1st goal WC goal awarded by VAR

too bad de gea make a karius-like mistake

Yesterday match was awesome. Made the right choice woke up to watch the game. Balance game, portugal defend well up until that foul lead to 2nd goal. Nacho strike was superb to. And that cr7 last free kick was superb! I though portugal sure lose one after 3-2. Suddenly a wild freekick appear. I think isco is my motm. Damn that guy really something

Btw somehow wonder why spain manager sub out costa. He still can contribute. Iniesta maybe due to stamina but costa?

tbh, for Spain, Costa and Isco played well. For Portugal, i think they played well, however William is too slow to handle the quick tiki taka.

Spain seems to have upgraded slow tiki taka to up tempo tiki taka, great to see. Isco playing well. Isco > Bale for me. Costa is his usual self, fighting for all possession.

my motm is cr7

spain coach think they sure win, so sub out iniesta and costa and wanna tiki-taka all the way to the end
too bad a reckless foul outside the box gave cr7 a chance to prove his muscle at his legs are not play play

Missed the way costa played for us.. so much determination and deadly in the box, compared to crybaby morata.

Morata really crybaby,when he first came everyone was looking forward...such dissapointment

Apa boleh buat, conte x suka conte, costa x suka conte

Any news on transfers?

Heard that RLC looking for way iut if hes not on chelsea 1st team plans...

Looking at our midfield pack with Fab, Kante, Bakayoko, Drinkwater, Barkley...most possibly RLC will be sold

Surely.

Can we say Costa is 2/3 of CR7? Morata is just a sad header boy.

Thats just a too big statement.

For me top 3 striker in d world shud be someone like aguero maybe costa not there (yet?)
(he is usually incosistent in 2nd half of season)

And u know aguero is not close with ronaldo messi argument either...hahah

But yeah id sign aguero in any days

erm then again, Costa is also half season player. do very well for half a season, then end up pick fights for the next half

wow...thorgan hazard is on belgium’s sub list

yup. he's quite good tho. saw him playing during friendlies.
