RLC's work rate worries me

Hopefully Conte can do something about it

Hopefully it's only because there's been nothing to play for as he can become a legend at the club if he puts his head down.

Well we are nothing if not consistent.

Ended our last game the same way we have been all season: managing to disappoint despite having zero expectations to begin with.

Never thought I'd see the day where Chelsea finished behind Stoke City in the table. Time for you guys to forget this season ever existed.

Re: ***The Official Chelsea FC Thread***

finishing 10 points ahead of you should mean you've won the league. What a crazy year.

Well we signed a 60 million a year deal with Nike. 2nd richest in Europe behind Man U.

Nah the alert I got said Nike. I saw it come up from Bleacher Report and it directed me here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/...eal-with-nike/

Re: ***The Official Chelsea FC Thread***

I'm all for it. Anything that brings the club more money can only benefit me as a supporter.

I have nothing against Adidas, per se, but they don't make club merchandise readily available. There are 2 soccer shops within 15 minutes of my house and they both tell me the same thing - they can't get their hands on the variety of merchandise for Adidas-branded clubs that they can for other manufacturers.

Of course, I have bought lots of things from the Chelsea Megastore but sometimes it's nice to walk into a local shop and find something you like (even better if you didn't know it existed) and walk out with it.

Hopefully, a switch to Nike means better local access to Chelsea merchandise.

Re: ***The Official Chelsea FC Thread***

It will definitely be weird seeing non-Adidas Chelsea kits, but a change was needed. Our sponsorships in general have been way outdated when compared to the success we've had, Adidas and Samsung were giving us pennies compared to other big teams, and even compared to teams with far less success than we've had in the past decade.

Also, Adidas is absolutely phoning in their kits these days, cookie-cutter to the max. Nike doesn't do national team kits very well, but their club kits always look amazing. I'm really excited to see what a Nike Chelsea kit will look like

Re: ***The Official Chelsea FC Thread***

If Nike gets close to the brilliance that is the Manchester City kit over the past couple years, it should be a real treat for you guys.

PLEASE, Nike. Nothing like this.

I HAPPILY stand corrected!

There's an adidas outlet by my house that not once ever had any Chelsea gear. The same strip mall has a Nike outlet where I even saw Roma shirts lol.
