Yup Chelsea backing off after threat by Palace to go to town on Chelsea's tapping up - cannot risk a likely transfer ban that would kill off Boehy's plans. Big wages increases and minimum release clause.

Interesting as I was saying tapping up as an accusation seemed to have disappeared these days, yet we always hear from journos that personal terms are agreed before a fee is

Oh I'm not saying it won't. I said I'm reserving judgement. But it is a distinct possibility it/he won't be successful. So in the, premature, context of "why isn't Son effective in Ange's system" its arguable whether or not it's the olayer or the system that's an odd duck in the PL.

As I said, premature in any case as we've played 1 match and we know that Son is a streaky player to begin with. He's entirely likely to go a month looking like shit and then have 12 goal/assists in 8 matches.

Yes, it is far too early to reach any conclusions.

You can try and replicate Pep's style of play but you need players of a similar quality to what he has. Postecoglou's approach might work but the idea that any one manager has found a formula that can't be countered probably doesn't hold up. Remember when Bielsa was at Leeds? A very aggressive attacking approach that caught the league off guard for awhile and then the league adjusted and Bielsa didn't. Postecoglou should have some success with his approach. The league will adjust to it and either Postecoglou will adjust or he'll be somewhere else in a few years.

Evolution is required to survive and thrive. Pep has done that successfully.

Ange will have to adapt and evolve to succeed.
