Monaco have managed to win only 2 of the 9 league matches with Henry in charge to fall to 19th. Henry could very well get fired soon.

it's unlikely. they've had a horror run with injuries the entire season with sometimes having nearly a whole 11 out injured. a horrible first up managerial job to take.

Silly month has begun!

Fab would be a great get for them and could well turn their fortunes around.

Why is Fab not playing? Isnt he still a pretty good option in midfield?

 

[chef]

Surely there’s nothing wrong with keeping both though. I’d much prefer playing CHO on the right or even Hazard at false 9 rather than Willian and Pedro. CHO can’t really be picky about which wing he’s on if Hazard is the guy taking the other one.. If we nab Mertens or Higuain in January, a front 3 of Hazard.. Higuain.. CHO would be very handy.

Can just see it coming back to bite us again if we sell.. Dont need Sarri having the stubbornness that cost us KDB.

By the sound of things from Sarri this morning hes happy with the strikers he has, doesnt want Batman or Tammy recalled and wants us to buy wingers instead.

So it sounds like Hazard as the 9 may be the plan. If so it opens the door wide open for CHO, needs to grab it with both hands though.

There's no spot for him to start, hes back up to Jorgihno as the regista in Sarris eyes. Which is great for us squad wise but Fab wants to play.

The other two CM spots are a battle between Kante, Kovacic, Barkley and RLC and he isnt suited to either of these roles.

And then theres poor old Danny Drinkwater.

Lol Danny Drinkwater. The classic example of a bloke ruining his own career for money.

 

[chef]

Sounds like Dom Solanke going to head to Palace on loan, another who made a dumb move chasing money rather than going to a club he'd get a go at.

Not sure he ruined his career, but hes certainly put it on hold for a season and a half. Money isnt everything hey.

 

[Magma]

he won the league and then went and got paid more money. i'd love to have my career ruined like that

Did Kante ruin his career for money?

You can’t seriously be comparing Kante to Drinkwater though?

Two midfielders at Leicester who won the PL and made a move to a bigger club to further their career?

Kante was player of the year and every big club in the prem if not Europe would have snapped him up. Everyone was confused even at the time with the Drinkwater transfer. They don’t compare

I'm talking from the player's point of view.

You think he ruined his career by trying to be ambitious and capitalise on winning the league?

Great news i guess

 

[Art Vandelay_]

With good reason too. On a good run, nearing the play off spots.
Keep it up another couple of months and Wembley is possible.

I think he must have known it was going to be extremely difficult for him to break into the side permanently but I suppose he would have backed himself. The money obviously helped him make the decision you can’t deny that. I think most punters would have bet that the move wouldn’t work out and they’ve been proved correct

We're quoting 15m for anyone that wants him, not sure who he'd realistically leave for, certainly would have to be a PL club. But yes hope he stays put.

I thought you didn’t want him? Good to get the yank support on your side though

Yeah come on SM, this is a horrible comparison.

Based on ability and position, you can't compare Kante and Drinkwater. As WR, Kante was in high demand, Drinkwater was just another English midfielder, he was never going to excel at Chelsea.
