At least some stronger than usual rumors seem to be moving Higuain to Chelsea and Morata to Atletico. How do the Chelsea folks feel about this?

For me Higuain has been a bit of a mystery. It's hard to see enough Serie A football, but the few occassions I've seen him, he hasn't looked that spectacular. Obviously he's a quality player, but at the age of 31 he seems more like another short term solution.


I'm OK if given it appears that it's a loan with option to extend loan or purchase. So no obligations. I personally don't rate him much, but he has succeeded with Sarri and clearly would be an upgrade over morata. Morata is a flop and I think enough chances has been given. It's not his lack of goals or shocking misses but his constant offsides and most of all him falling to ground that pisses me the most.

If you dislike strikers that are always offside, you're really going to hate Higuain.

The hacker responsible for football leaks was arrested yesterday in Budapest.

Probably not that relevant for the european footbal but it's extremely relevant for the Portuguese football.

Don't know if you are aware of it but he stole the internal emails communications from Benfica for the last 10 years and allegedly sold it to a Porto. Let's see how this develops.

Morata is shit so there's nothing to say there

but I think Higuain will be too sluggish to succeed in England ... 3-4 years back it'd have been fine but not in his current stage

Buying Higuian equals no title ambitions.
Because he wont score in big games

Guess Chelsea's new aim is to be just like Spurs/Arsenal. Top4 is a trophy!

I think anyone is better than morata anyway, and this is a short term thing

For me the interesting bit is where Morata is going and whether some manager can turn him into a succesful player somehow. In theory he probably still has all the talent that made Chelsea sign him in the first place, so he could be an asset somewhere under the right management.

OGS is bringing in the results! 2-0 up at half-time. Rashford is looking like a world beater now

in his post-game tunnel interview he decided to go back to the translator cause he wanted to make sure the press didn't twist his words in his criticism.

Giroud may not be the striker we need, but he still is the best striker we have. I simply don't understand sarri's stubbornness. That and persisting with alonso and Willian.

Got no issues with Sarri saying what he did, but he needs to fix it. Get the players out who he thinks are the problem. If they aren't motivated enough they need to go.

First Mourinho, then Conte and now Sarri. Clearly this squad just cannot be arsed when things aren't going smoothly.

It has been easier to just replace the manager. I hope Chelsea allow Sarri to do what seems to be necessary.

Yeah with the players left i assume its probably Luiz is hard to motivate as he had a shocker. Seems Willian/Pedro might be an issue not sure. Hazard can't really blame him as he played false 9 and he is poor there when he is outwide and can get one on one or at least one vs two he can do something. Him in the middle is just no option cuz he can't run past 5 players.

Higuain is coming in so Hazard can go back out wide, but if Willian/Pedro are the problem he needs to tell the board and let them go.

Can you imagine if we had a fitting striker and suddenly our attack gels and goes crazy, then you realised the problem all along was morata XD
