And Chelsea got £5m out of it too .. pure genius! :hehe:
Gone to a bigger club after his successful first season in the premier League
I've just put £500 on Juventus failing to win the Champions League :biggrin:
Brilliant news for Ampadu too, he may actually get a game :thumbup:
With the transfer Embargo Chelsea are under I would have thought the youth and fringe players will certainly play a lot more.
Lampard to Manage aswell. To be honest the amount of players they have on their books and out on loan its about time they actually played some of them.
I totally agree, and I hope that Lampard gives the youngsters a chance.

I'm not convinced that Ampadu would have played much more under any other manager last season, given the class of player he needed to displace.
Sarri rated Ampadu and said so on a number of occasions
That's just not true.
Lotus cheek got some game time, and he also brought through Hudson odoi who was 17 at the start of the season.
How many other 17 year olds have played much football for champions League teams in the premier League this season?
Hudson odoi also had to keep out Willian or Pedro who are both quality players worth 50m +
I think his handling of Hudson odoi has been pretty good.
Sarri said Loftus-Cheek wasn't ready and he still had things to learn. It was only a dip in Chelsea's form and criticism from the fans and the press that put pressure on Sarri to play him. Regarding Hudson-Odoi, he already had one foot out of the door, so Sarri was forced into promising him game-time to prevent his move to Bayern.
Or, he's a young player and... had things to learn?
Sarri is a manager at a club like Chelsea. Top managers want young players to kick their door down as the risk of not getting top 4 means they're sacked. Take Robertson and TAA have done at Liverpool. Neither were regulars at the start of last season but became indispensable. RLC was on his way to doing that after taking on board Sarri's points and becoming a key player. He'd probably have started for England last week if he was fit.
A typical Chelsea training session was Sarri and his fellow chainsmokers standing away from the pitch, and smoking their brains out. How he managed to totally transform RLC's style of play is beyond me. Maybe they had a few no smoking breaks? :biggrin:
They'd have still qualified for the Champions League in 4th place if Spurs had finished above them.
But yes, Spurs were also in freefall, along with Chelsea, Man Utd and Arsenal. It was a race to see who didn't want to play in the Champions League. Arsenal and Man Utd won.
And for winning a European trophy, so does he have to thank Arsenal, Manchester United, Frankfurt, Slavia Prague, Dynamo Kyiv, Malmo, Videoton, PAOK and Bate Borisov? While we're at it does he also have to thank every other team in the league they finished above?
Face it, he did well and has been rewarded by going to Juve, your strange devotion to this idea he's under-performed is frankly bizarre
Lampard would be a very strange appointment. There are also rumours of Ralf Rangnick which would make a lot more sense.
The Europa League is a tinpot trophy that is used by the bigger clubs to give their fringe players a run out!
Ok, here's the thing for all you guys bigging up Sarri. You say the best club in Europe came for him, that he can turn average players into world beaters, that he can win tinpot trophies and finish above teams in freefall. But here's the kicker .. if Juventus don't win the Champions League, he will go down in history as being a failure.
*Thread bookmarked. See you all again, same time next year :biggrin:
:hehe::hehe::hehe:
99.9% of people in football want to be at the best club and get the most money. To think otherwise is extremely naive. Lampard is a West Ham fan, he went to Chelsea. He then went to Man City and scored against Chelsea. He's a professional, just like Sarri.
