cm, ha,ha, nice try but you can’t absolve Mourinho of all of the nonsense he has been spouting in recent weeks on the back of Conte not being happy with who the Chelsea Board have bought him especially as Mourinho was claiming pretty much the same only a few days ago!

It will be very difficult to buy an appropriate replacement for Coutinho in this window.

Mahrez can’t effectively play the midfield role Coutinho does.

I suspect that 1) Liverpool agreed to let Coutinho go in January and 2) With £108m net inc the VVD purchase already spent by Klopp with Keita still to come at circa £60m there had to be a bit of a balancing of the books.

£145m is a great price for Coutinho and pays for both VVD and Keita and pushes Klopp’s net spend inc the incoming Keita to plus circa £25m nett.

Currently Mourinho is rowing his boat through troubled waters but even though he’s going through those troubled waters Mourinho still says he wants to stay at United.

Football fortunes turn around very quickly Mourinho might be a prize plum and a complete Arsenal at times but I still wouldn’t rule him out of winning the PL at United.

I thought the game was so poor I turned over and watched the Atletico v Getafe game.

Interesting League debut from Costa.?

Sean, RLC blows hot and cold he’s having a decent season at Palace but with the best will in the world playing for Palace is not like playing for Chelsea.

If RLC continues to develop at Palace he will come back to Chelsea in the Summer and get a chance to prove to Conte he’s worth a place in the squad and given that Chelsea will probably play circa 60 games next season both Barkley and RLC if he’s part of the squad will get game time.

Barkley is currently further forward in his career than RLC imo he has 22 full England caps and last season he had more assists than Coutinho, Dele Alli and David Silva and the previous season scored a goal every 4 games and playing regularly with better players should help lift his game.

As Pagan has suggested even if Barkley flops in two years time Chelsea will probably still make a healthy profit on him. Absolute no brainer deal imo.

You’ll all get used to Wise fans posting style soon he rarely if ever has anything positive to say about all things Chelsea.?

Pagan, probably the perfect summary mate sadly I suspect we haven’t heard the end of it all yet.

Come on Nil if a racist remark was made and it will be investigated to establish that you can’t pass it off with ” this seems all Allardyce to me”

Ed, only Jose knows why he introduced behaving like a clown on the touchline into the response to the question I would like to give him the benefit of the doubt but based on his previous form I think you might be being a tad generous but we’ll never know for sure.

What we do know is the press took that and threw it at Conte in his press conference and unfortunately imo he responded the way he did.

As for the Conte fight offer it could be bigger than the Connor McGregor v Floyd Mayweather fight I hear Ceasars Palace is interested in staging it.?

However if you read what Conte said though below I think he meant a verbal fight.

“There is a person that continues to look here. You understand? He went away, but he continued to look here.

“I am starting to be a bit annoyed. If you want to go to fight with me I am ready. I am improving a bit my English, because this is the real problem for me, otherwise we can go, we can go to fight.

“I’m ready to fight for me, for my players, for the club, with everyone. I have no problem.”

The match fixing barb was nasty and in fairness Conte was cleared of any wrong doing in the Italian Courts but I guess Jose was stung into that response by the Senile Dementia remark.

It’s not good from either of them imo and if it doesn’t stop the FA should get involved and warn the both of them.

cm, whilst I agree with you that the press have played their part in stoking up this conflict you’re kidding yourself if you think that Mourinho’s clown remarks weren’t aimed at rival Managers one of which was certainly Conte and Mourinho has been trying to rattle Conte’s cage ever since Conte joined Chelsea with a whole series of snipey spiteful remarks and let’s not forget that Mourinho has history for all this sort of stuff that goes way back to his early days at Chelsea.

What Conte did wrong was to get caught up in Mourinho’s nonsense but as some of the other lads have said on here there’s only so much someone can take from Mourinho without biting back.

Personally I think Conte went too far with his Senile Dementia description and he could have made his point without saying that but Mourinho is entering a new area of awfulness even for him with his Match fixing barb but that’s him and he will always escalate things to an unacceptable level at some point.

The FA need to step in now and tell both Mourinho and Conte to shut up or risk charges of bringing the game into disrepute.

As I predicted “pouring oil on already troubled waters” only adds to the problem and look where it’s gone now.

The FA need to step in and put a stop to all this nonsense right now!

As debuts go they don’t get much better than that. Poor Keeping from Pickford though.

Wise fan. At £15m Barkley who was at the top of the assists chart last season is a bargain and I doubt spending £15m on Barkley will prevent Chelsea signing a striker if there’s one available that Chelsea want to sign and how do you know we aren’t looking to strengthen in the left wing back area?

Wise fan, I’m not saying Conte wasn’t provoked or that he didn’t have the right to respond but Senile Dementia is an awful illness I lost my Mother to it and I think what Conte said was a bridge to far.

Mourinho can be a prize plum and a complete Arsenal all at the same time which is a shame because it detracts from his undoubted managerial ability.

Unfortunately Mourinho’s current persona somewhat reflects the end of both his tenures at Chelsea and the end of his tenure at Real Madrid.

There was absolutely no reason for Mourinho to cast the dispersions he has and clearly it was partly aimed at Conte but whilst Conte had every right to point out that Mourinho has forgotten his own previous actions on and around the line.

But I think Conte went too far in suggesting senile dementia and it merely pours oil on already troubled waters..
