This guy found a way to smuggle Thiago Silva into it, Silva that has played one below average season for Chelsea will suddenly make Chelsea best 11

You go don do fayawo for Seme border before abi you are one of those smugglers who roughride tokunbo cars across border

Bayern post 2010 was stronger than Bayern in the 2000
Barcelona between 2008 and 2016 was stronger than Barcelona of the early 2000
I will say Madrid of the past 10yrs was stronger than Madrid of the 2000s slightly
Man Utd 2006 to 2013 was stronger than Man Utd post 20013
Teams like PSG and City have also gotten stronger

Villareal was not better than Sevilla of recent times
Valencia of those times was not better than Atletico of recent times

I will say Chelsea got weaker if we compare the 2000s vs recent years
While teams like Milan and Arsenal got poorer significantly

The Galactico's Era was not successful. Always getting eliminated in the round of 16 for six consecutive seasons.

The quality of EPL teams in general, not the big 4. But now, other smaller things have been equiped to compete slightly fairly to the bigger teams hence the improved quality of which I talk about.

What am I even saying... It should be glaringly obvious to you that the competition and quality of EPL has improved courtesy of TV right funds.

donstan18:
The earlier Chelsea start looking for another striker the better for them, else they’ll end up making panic signing by signing Pukki

dyabman:


If Haaland deal is impossible , we should settle for Kane but that levy na our problem.

airmark:


Because dodgy moves never started back then by Madrid and competition was stiffer in Europe which is exactly Amoto's point.

We are comparing Real Madrid of then and Real Madrid of post 2010. It's like a night and day if you know who De Lima, Zidane, Figo, Roberto Carlos, Beckam were.

monerozi5590:



Airmark, what are you saying?... I watched all those guys in Madrid. Beckham and Owen didn't even see quarter final in the UCL with Real Madrid. From2005 to 2010 we didn't cross the round of 16.post 2010 was stronger.

From 2011 to 2021 we made 9 semi finals appearances in the UCL and won 4
From 2000 to 2010, we made 3 semi finals and won 2.

Havertz10:
Some old men wouldn't evolve

Celebrating mediocrity of the past

Dating back to the 1950s

2000s was one the least competitive era of premier league football

Top 4 strandings remained relatively unchanged and the gap between the top teams and the rest was vast

We are looking at real data, that one keeps talking about what he watched

donstan18:
Chelsea dey find striker, these ones dey fight over era of dominance

Ibime:


The more money does not necessarily translate into better players in comparison, all it means is players charge more for salary and other leagues charge more for transfer fees. Europa League performance is still a decent arbiter for the strength of the midtable.

Havertz10:
his assertions are absurd

Can't back his argument with anything other than the mystic players had and his sentiments

Havertz10:
imagine

More money means premier league teams can take good players from other leagues because they can pay more

It means better players

You are not very bright honestly

donstan18:

I actually agree with him that Chelsea had better players then, but I think the league became tougher lately.

Havertz10:
riddle me this

If it's tougher now, can you say that the past was good when the competition among premier league teams then was minimal?

donstan18:

What has money done for PSG and ManCity in Europe for the past 10 years?

Between PSG/ManCity and other Ucl winners for the past 10 years, who has spent much?

Havertz10:
imagine

More money means premier league teams can take good players from other leagues because they can pay more

It means better players

You are not very bright honestly

Havertz10:
I don't think you understand what in all competitions means

Havertz10:
it elevated them, where was man city before the money? Do you know that man city as a brand is more valuable than chelsea today? Actively competing is a valuable part of the whole thing

it's not necessarily about winning it, being in contention to win it, is a big deal, a player can pick PSG over milan because they know that psg are poised to win it soon

BlueMann:


You dey catch cruise with me? Or you really don't get?

You keep mentioning all competitions. Is the PL not part of all competitions?

You have nine oranges shared across three baskets. Five in one, three in the other and one in the third. If you remove two from the first basket containing five, leaving you with three in the aforementioned basket, does the total still remain nine oranges? If the number in the first basket reduces by two, will the sum total also not reduce by two?


I am telling you two of the 'nine' assists which Havertz has are actually penalties won, and they don't count as official assists. You dey mention all competitions.

Na wa o. Oga mi

Havertz10:
add their national team stats, that's why I said all competitions

donstan18:

ManCity and PSG made 2 Ucl semis in 10 years even after their money.

They’ve spent more than Barcelona, Madrid, Juventus, Bayern and even ATM.

Please explain why they failed to contend for Ucl more than the aforementioned teams.

BlueMann:


If you add national team stats, Mount's G/A will bee more than that. He had 18G/A in the regular season.

Even Havertz's G/A will be more than what is there. Unless you're telling me that in all the national team games he played for Germany this season, he had no goals and two assists.

I'm telling you, they're adding penalties won.

donstan18:
Mou!

Good manager need to handle this England team.
