Well done Luke - and it's Xavi with Cesc for me as well.

Thanks for the insight Luke, great piece. Amorin feels like the banker choice and they way to go, even if the formation does not best suit the squad (especially once the Yanks sell Trev!)

The punter in me would love to see how McKenna would fair.

I actually think his formation suits our squad better than a back 4.

I think McKenna would do well with time but my personal affection towards him is telling me that I want him to stay away.

Luke

I get that the defence works well in a 343 but does leave a lot of midfield players and wingers with not a lot to do

Would also like to know who your choice would be even if not one of the above

Xavi (with Cesc as assistant) closely followed by Amorim for me, we need pedigree and we need European experience in my mind.

Brilliant article, Luke! Thanks for sharing this with us.

Out of interest, who do you favour?

Out of these 4 the dream for me would be Xavi with Cesc as his assistant

Yeah, that does sound exciting! By all accounts, Flick is ready to join Barcelona if they part company with Xavi.

Ironically, he'd be going from one madhouse to another but I guess he'd prepared for it! 🤣🤣

Curious to know who you would like?

Joining in here Amorin because he would have the players at Chelsea to make his system work.

The second one Sebastian just wouldn’t be able to use his preferred set up at Chelsea and it would mean back to the drawing board

Xavi great idea with Cesc who knows but isn’t he still Barca manager dream on with regards him joining Chelsea ( runs into garden and burns all my hats)

McKenna worst win % of the lot no premiership experience or European experience so whilst the club will go for him ( I loved Gerry Anderson and Thunderbirds as a kid but you couldn’t hide the strings) he just isn’t ready it’s a step too far.

Is Amorim a yes man to management or is he a fighter? We all know that the Chelsea owners want ONLY a pitch and club house manager who will

not raise any club issues to upper management. So what type of guy is he?
