Réussir oui, faire mieux que Diego Costa j'en doute.

Costa a remporté 3 championnats sur les 4 derniers (1 liga, 2pl).

 

Morata pour le moment ce n'est qu'un remplaçant de luxe, il va être en grosse concurrence avec Michy.

[MenthePoivrée]

Passer de Matic-Kanté à Bakayoko-Kanté, et de Diego Costa à Morata ... en dépensant plus Chelsea à réussir à s'affaiblir.

 

Incroyable leur mercato.

 

Je ne suis pas d'accord. Dire que les deux joueurs partant étaient en déclin est un peu fort, mais leurs saison dernière bien que respectable ne laisse pas penser qu'ils allaient pouvoir enchaîner PL+C1 avec un gros niveau de jeu.

En plus ce sont des choix tournés vers le futur, et qui peuvent être rentabilisés très rapidement. Conte est un formidable tacticien, et il a besoin de jeunesse qui puisse suivre au millimètre les consignes et la rigueur tactique qu'il impose.

 

Malgré tout si Matic était d'accord pour être en compétition avec Bakayoko je ne l'aurai pas vendu, et encore moins à ManU, parce que ce que je dis plus haut est vrai pour Costa mais moins pour Matic qui joue au milieu et à l'instar d'Arteta par exemple chez nous, à beaucoup de choses à apporter sur une fin de carrière.

[Naruto]

Pas du tout killian! Ils sont toujours competitifs. Et morata est très bon. C est juste que zidane preferait benzema. Quant morata etait à la juve, il a largement contribué à l elimination du real en demi de ldc.

[Invité Killian]

Faut lire les propos.

 

A aucun moment j'ai jamais parlé de Chelsea qui n'était pas compétitif.

Vous sous estimez grandement Diego Costa.

 

Puis en terme de complémentarité, par rapport au profil de Matic, Bakayoko corresponds moins.

[Naruto]

Desolé d avoir mal interpreté alors. Comme tu disais que chelsea s etait affaibli dans le mercato j ai donc tiré une conclusion. Costa a joué un role important dans le sacre mais si je dois designer 3 joueurs qui ont porté chelsea je dirai hazard, kanté et david luiz.

[Naruto]

Vu les absences sur blessures et les suspendus, je me demande comment conte va faire son 11 face à tottenham ce week end surtout au milieu où fabregas et bakayoko seront absents. Si chelsea perd encore, ca va grave jaser en plus du mercato qui tarde à demarrer.

[SkyMan]

6 semaines pour Morata pour soigner sa blessure d'après le Guardian. Coup dur pour les Blues. Batshuayi devrait être en pointe du coup.

Chelsea fait nul à Norwich en Cup.

Peut-être une bonne nouvelle pour Arsenal. En effet, Conte devra faire tourner en League Cup, sous peine que son équipe soit complètement à bout de souffle au moment d'affronter Barcelone, et je le vois mal brader le Replay.

[WillSch]

Conte: "The situation is very clear. I don't have anything to clarify. It will be the opportunity in the game against United when we go to Old Trafford. Me and him face to face. I'm ready. I don't know if he's ready."

 

Baston Baston Baston Baston Baston !

Que des enfants.

Je trouve que mourinho fait ce qu il reprochait à wenger: c' est un voyeur.
Le 4-0 doit lui rester en travers de la gorge. Depuis ce jour il n' arrête pas de citer conte ou chelsea dans ses itw.

[Invité Le Lancelot]

1.Il est jaloux de voir que son réel successeur a qui il a laissé un vestiaire divisé et une équipe à bout de souffle termine champion dès sa première saison sur le banc de Chelsea.

2.Il sait pertinemment que Chelsea est une meilleure équipe que Manchester United et qu'ils pourraient tôt où tard revenir à la seconde place : sa tentative avec cette diffamation pure et simple est de plomber le manager et de faire douter ses joueurs (habile)

3.Il n'en a probablement plus pour très longtemps (sauf exploit en C1) sur le banc de touche mancunien.(et encore vu ses déclarations tout porte à croire qu'il a déjà un "accord" avec un autre club tant il est flou sur son avenir à Manchester)
Donc il se lâche.

4.Les deux ont en tout cas très bien vendu une date : le 25 février.
(Nouvelle Strategie com de la PL? Illuminati? Zombi-Nazi? Rien n'est vrai.Tout est permis.)

[Arseballe]

Je trouve que Chelsea s'essouffle dangereusement.

Conte fait finalement peu tourner, leur mois de janvier a été très chargé, et ils en ressortent affaiblis.

 

Dans le résumé du match face à Bournemouth, pour la première fois, j'ai vu Kanté marcher, sur le 2e but. Leur défense a pris l'eau en 2e période.

Ils vont affronter le Barça en étant dans un sale état.

Leur fin de saison pourrait bien être très longue.

Morata interroge à chelsea!

Article (payant) paru dans le Times de hier sur la Russie et plus particulièrement Roman et le fait que l'argent que les russes placent en Angleterre est louche et devrait être confisqué.

 

Avec les tensions actuelles si le gouvernant Britannique saisi la fortune de certains magnat ça pourrait être un coup dur pour Chelsea et son propriétaire.

Russian spy case could spell trouble for Abramovich and Chelsea

Scene one: A courtroom, just off the Strand in London in 2011. The room is small and functional. There are cases of mauve-and-blue files near a wall. Halogen strips illuminate lawyers making polite argument as slips of paper are passed back and forth. Lady Justice Gloster smiles as Laurence Rabinowitz, QC, the counsel for Boris Berezovsky, mispronounces the name of Roman Abramovich, the defendant. Abramovich, a few places away, remains expressionless.

Scene two: An isolation cell in Moscow in 2009. Sergei Magnitsky, a corporate lawyer who has investigated wrongdoing at the highest levels of the Russian state, is lying on the floor. He has been held without trial for 11 months. He has been beaten with batons. He has been deprived of sleep. Pleading for his life, he calls for a doctor. He is met by a phalanx of riot police, who bludgeon him to death. His only crime, according to campaigners, was to “tell the truth”.

Keep these two scenes in mind as we try to “tell the truth” about the chicanery that followed the Boris Yeltsin privatisations. This is a story that will encompass the question, ducked for so long, about whether the ownership of Chelsea Football Club should be removed from Abramovich through legal decree, but it will also call out the near-silence that has surrounded one of the biggest scandals in British sport. This is an issue that should have been confronted far earlier.

First, let’s explore why Magnitsky was murdered and why a clause in his name may soon be a part of British law. Magnitsky worked for Bill Browder, an American hedge-fund owner. As told in Browder’s startling book Red Notice, the financier had been the victim of a £150 million tax fraud from which Vladimir Putin’s associates had benefited. Magnitsky, Browder’s lawyer, had courageously named the men he believed were guilty. The Kremlin responded by having him jailed, assuming that this would be the last of it. The power of Putin is so absolute that few people dare stand up to him.

Browder had different ideas; successfully lobbying the American Congress for a change in the law to hit Putin’s cronies where it hurts most. Officials in Russia siphon off money from legitimate businesses through threat and intimidation. They then squirrel the money out of the country, into prime assets in the West, ready for their retirement and holidays, and as a bolthole to escape justice when Putin finally leaves office. The Magnitsky Act of 2012 is, in part, about confiscating that money. It is not anti-Russian, but pro the Russian people who have been swindled by gangsters and oligarchs for so long.

As Browder put it in a column in The Mail on Sunday: “It only takes a stroll through Belgravia in west London to see this. Every self-respecting member of the Putin regime has an expensive home in Britain. They like our property ownership laws, which guarantee them title and give them a safe asset abroad should they ever need to flee.

“For them, there is no greater status symbol than a townhouse in Belgrave Square or Eaton Terrace. They send their children to public school and enjoy shopping on the Kings Road. It is important to remember that Putin’s cronies have bought these grand houses with billions stolen from the Russian state. Our response should be to seize these houses, bank accounts and shares.”

Abramovich has owned Chelsea since 2003PAUL GILHAM/GETTY IMAGES

Browder is right. The US has already passed a version of the Magnitsky Act and has seized the assets of dozens of corrupt Russians. The law sent a chill through Putin’s kleptocracy. We should introduce a beefed-up version of the same law. Why should anyone be allowed to benefit from defrauding their own people and then enjoy the trappings of gilded privilege in London?

And this takes us back to scene one. For, in his legal scrap with Berezovsky, Abramovich opened up for the first time about how he amassed a personal fortune of £8 billion. Jonathan Sumption, QC, his lawyer and now a judge in the Supreme Court, admitted that the auction that handed Abramovich control of Sibneft, the Russian energy giant, was “rigged”. The court also heard that it was a “stitch-up”. In essence, this was one of a series of deals in which Yeltsin handed the mineral wealth of the Russian people to the oligarchs at a fraction of its true cost in return, it is claimed, for free advertising on their TV channels in the build-up to the 1996 election.

Paul Gregory, the economist, described the Sibneft deal as “the largest single heist in corporate history and a lasting emblem of the corruption of modern Russia”. Abramovich’s involvement may only have gone so far as the “stitched-up” auction, but surely that is corruption.

For Yeltsin, the gamble worked. He won the election having trailed in the polls. As for Abramovich, who has always denied knowledge of anything corrupt, he became rich beyond his dreams. The deal enabled him to emerge victorious from the notorious aluminium wars.

He bought a fleet of yachts, helicopters, his own private Boeing and homes around the world, including a £125 million London mansion in Kensington. He also bought Chelsea FC, presumably confident that his assets would be safe in a nation that has long enjoyed the cash flowing from oligarchs. A strong UK version of the Magnitsky Act could change all that. It could enable the state to determine whether assets owned in Britain were paid for with ill-gotten cash. If our legislators have the courage to draft a rigorous clause, the deal could be looked into and it is not just Abramovich’s homes and private assets that may then be at risk, but Chelsea FC.

This could also bring to an end a long-running saga that has shamed the English game and received scant scrutiny. In football, the oligarch is mentioned affectionately for his engaging grin and enigmatic personality. People eulogise the money he has lavished on Chelsea and his charitable causes. This is moral chicanery, however.

How can a man be praised for spending a fraction of the wealth that, according to his barrister, was obtained through a stitch-up?

The closeness of Putin and Abramovich can be seen by examining Putin’s Kleptocracy: Who Owns Russia?, the book by Karen Dawisha, professor of political science at Miami University. “Abramovich helped fund the purchase for $50 million of Putin’s first presidential yacht,” she writes.

Regular readers will know that this subject has often been tackled in this space, triggering hate mail and anonymous threats.

As for Putin’s enemies, they have met all manner of curious ends. Berezovsky ended up dead in a locked bathroom, a ligature around his neck. A British coroner recorded an open verdict but US intelligence officials suspect an assassination.

Buzzfeed has chronicled 13 other suspicious deaths in the UK, including Alexander Perepilichnyy, who suffered a heart attack while jogging, and Alexander Litvinenko, who died after drinking tea laced with a radioactive substance. A public inquiry found that Litvinenko’s assassination was probably ordered by Putin himself. Yesterday, Nikolai Glushkov, who was a friend of Berezovsky and who testified in the case against Abramovich was also found dead.

Putin cronies act with impunity because they have, for too long, got away with it. They have never feared retribution because policy has been so lax. British political parties have taken Russian money, guaranteed anonymity for investors in London and only belatedly tackled issues such as Baltic defences and the strategic danger of Russia’s gas export monopoly.

This could be about to change. History teaches that bullies are only stopped when they are met by a stern response. That is why the Magnitsky law is not just about justice, but geopolitics. It is one of the few usable weapons that Putin and the oligarchs fear. As for Abramovich, he may be wondering, perhaps for the first time, whether that rigged auction is finally about to catch up with him.

Ca semble bouger à Chelsea, Conte aurait été viré, remplacé par Sarri qui viendrait avec Jorginho, 3 grandes questions reste Hazard? Kanté? Courtois? (et dans une moindre mesure Willian), perdre 2 sur les 3 seraient plus que préjudiciable, surtout que les cibles majeures sont parties déjà dans ce mercato

[Sborn]

Ça parle d’un done deal pour Golovin à Chelsea. Hâte de le voir en PL.

S'ils signent Sarri, Jorginho, Golovin et Rugani, ce qui semblerait en bonne voie, c'est pas mal quand-même. Reste à voir qui va partir? Willian probablement, et la grande question c'est Hazard.

[Talrand]

En espérant qu'Hazard parte s'éclater en Espagne et que Courtois y retourne aussi.
