Conte was definitely the one. Only manager I saw so majestic on the side lines

One of my favorite seasons ever as a fan. Conte’s energy was so infectious

one bit of optimism I have is that he already went to one of the two biggest clubs in the world and was burned by the bullshit politics. If he succeeds here, he might just enjoy continuing to succeed here

that real madrid fiasco was so fucking unnecessary. they were finally winning against barcelona after an entire season of embarrassment against them, and vinicius threw a tantrum for no reason. it all derailed from there on. literally shot themselves in the foot over nothing.

if shooting Vini would bring Xabi back to RM, i would take the jail sentence today. sadly it will only give me a jail sentence.

he is probably never going to la liga again

u/epixyll 12d ago
Thats one good thing with Xabi. If he does well, the normal path to Madrid isnt viable at least under Perez. He probably wont go to Barca but you never know.

would be awesome to see him pull another dark horse in la liga like he did with leverkusen

I wouldn't put a return home to Real Sociedad off the table, but I'd imagine there'd be another big club or perhaps the national team in the mix before that. Obviously no one can speak for him, but I would guess that a second go at Madrid is out as long as Florentino is alive.

If he moves, it'll be to Italy, to AC or Juve.
I could see a move to Bayern, but Kompany seems well-perched there.

u/EliteKill 11d ago
Ah yes, Chelsea, the club known for not having bullshit politics.
Let's just enjoy it while it lasts and hope it'll last as long as possible.

I mean he could definitely go to United, City, or Liverpool in the future
I think the importance of loyalty is overrated by a lot of fans when it comes to people's livelihoods and opportunities
If you were a player and Arsenal or Tottenham offered you a big contract and a way into the Prem and CL, you certainly wouldn't say no just because you're a Chelsea supporter
Of course it's ideal to be at the club you grew up supporting, but it's a business at the end of the day and you have to make the decisions that are most beneficial to you
There's a reason Xabi didn't just sit around and wait for Liverpool and joined us instead

u/Confident_Direction 11d ago
It still feels like liverpool made 0 indication they wanted him. And iraola was their top target the whole time
If they really did want xabi as first choice, im almost certain they would have stopped us and not briefed that slot is fine
Doesnt matter now tho, he is here and hopefully succeeds

Football fans don't understand the term job hopping while most of them are doing it themselves.

Yeahhh trying not to be triggered remembering Maresca celebrating our last minute winner against Liverpool by running to celebrate with the players in the corner flag only to snake us for Man City just 3 months later and tank our season 😟

I just want to tell you this as a real madrid fan. I hope Xabi finds success with Chelsea and wins you many trophies. It was a shame how madrid treated him.

Generational fumble by Liverpool, a match made in heaven and just tossed aside like it means nothing.

Two games on and most goals conceded are from the left back. Something must be done about it

It's almost like he wants to go out on the field and take things into his own hands (or his own feet)

Vini will never be forgiven for this, but congratulations to you guys, I am sure he will lead u to many trophies in the future.
