Over 10 apperances against Chelsea in the league and he has been more than shït all through. And I am still wondering why some Chelsea fans still want him.? |

nateevs: I honestly think that you don't know what is worrying you. I never said anything that dimarzio said must be true. In case you have forgotten, this was your original comment: The numbers don't lie but we don't see the Bayerns, Barcelonas, Juves, Madrids trying to sign lukaku. Dem no sabi count? Now I have given you the word of both a respected sky journalist and Lukaku's agent himself telling you that Juve , Arsenal aND Chelsea actually know who he is and are actually making bids for him. So what else did you want to see as proof that Juve tried to sign Lukaku if the word of even own Lukaku's agent is not enough? Are you saying the only acceptable proof that a club tried to sign a player is an actual succesful transfer? We must not have tried to sign Pogba then, or Naingollan We're you expecting Nihilist to get one of the Agnelli's to come and post on Nairaland? You better try and figure out what is worrying you, and stop yarning for yarnings sake - you're not a piece of string 3 Likes |

raumdeuter: It you tell me something about your wife, I would be stupid to ask for newspaper link as proof while ignoring your opinion. Di Marzio is the most credible source on Pogba for example, due to his closeness to Mino Raiola, hence several 'respectable sources have been quoting DiMarzio on the issue including espn, the independent, the guardian, and of course skysports. So if you're looking for a credible source in the intentionally opaque world of transfer dealings, especially as it pertains to Mino Raiola , it doesn't get more credible than GDM |

Nihilist: I believe DiMarzio didnt come to knock on your door to tell you nor did he text you. Is there any link on the internet in the past 30days which also got this scoop on Lukaku to City through DiMarzio or Raiola. Or you just want me to take your words for it? I see rumours of Aubameyang to City, I see rumours of Lukaku to CHelsea But Lukaku to City is what i am seeking because I would be surprised that Pep would consider a striker like Lukaku with the first touch of a rapistt 6 Likes |

Nihilist: For the simple reason of financial interest from a move, agents will say anything. That's where you need more than just mere quotes to prove this. You know how many agents have claimed their players are being wanted by XYZ just to start a bidding war? This is our point. . . These same guys claiming Juve are interested also claim Guardiola and Wenger inquired. However, anyone who has watched Guardiola's and Wenger's football for two minutes will think naaaah! That cannot be true. So there's a question of credibility in these claims. Whether Skysports, ESPN or whatever relays the story is not the point. The point remains, that the 'source' is questionable. Meanwhile, if you are not saying what DiMarzio said must be true, what are you saying then? |

It's great to see how this 2-man midfield fares against a PL side. |

We still struggle to create chances |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Nihilist: 6:49am On Jul 28, 2016 |
nateevs: I said Di Marzio is a credible source. Credibility is does not imply that something is definitely true. It is a measure of how likely a thing is to be true. There's a reason why some of us read the guardian and not the sun, and the punch instead of Linda ikejji..and that is credibility. If you know you can't trust even what the agents say, then why were you asking to see the Bayerns and Juves of this world try to sign Lukaku? Where you hoping to see letterheaded paper? You're yarning for the sake of yarning. That much is pretty clear. |

mithel: I worry about that as well. Although, I will like to see what the final set-up can do when the likes of Hazard and Kante join. A few positives to take from this. 1. If this is anything to go by, we will be super solid at the back. Great organization. 2. Everyone looked fit and committed. New Manager factor or Conte factor? 3. We will definitely play 2 strikers. One interesting thing to note is that until Fabregas' red card, Conte kept RLC on, in striker position, from the first minute. Traore was taken off and Bat went in but not RLC. RLC only had to go off when Fab got a red card. This might suggest, RLC is closer to the first team than last season. |

Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by FBS: 7:55am On Jul 28, 2016 |
The only thing I can take from this match? - we are trying to move the ball even faster... But just what was Fab thinking? It's a red card all the way. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by hensben(m): 8:45am On Jul 28, 2016 |

I see Conte going for the pl title this season, from what i saw from the match with loserpool. Very compact set up in defense same as from his juve days. |

nateevs:red card in a pre-season match. What did he do. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Griffon: 1:09pm On Jul 28, 2016 |
nateevs: These are the very words of Conte: ‘There are many players with a good prospect for Chelsea. I don’t know why in the past a few players have played with the first team,’ ‘It’s important. Because Chelsea has a fantastic academy. I think that the academy is a great source for the manager of the first team,’ he added. ‘It’s important, also, that the young players must show to play in the first team. ‘But I love to play with the young players and to improve them. It’s important to have good quality to improve and to show that a young player can play with the first team. ‘I haven’t any problem with the choice to take a young player in the starting 11. ‘For example, Pogba. Pogba arrived at Juventus and he was only 18 years old and after three months he played in the starting 11.’ Ola Aina and RLC are the names if you ask me. |

Pre-season matches are supposed to be 'friendly'… right? That I saw couple of hours ago wasn't just a friendly game. Damn feisty contest. Meanwhile, below is a well-constructed, well thought-out article that you all would love to read. It dissects the appointment of Jose Mourinho as the new Manchester United manager and questions whether the man with the aura about him is actually Not So Special. It was written by a manyoo fan. Quite a long read I must say, but hell yeah, it's worth the time. The following article was sent to me by Guy Bennett, it provides a few sobering thoughts for us Manchester United supporters with the author asking whether we have the right man for the job 3 Likes |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Nihilist: 1:40pm On Jul 28, 2016 |
Are you sure nateevs didn't write that article? I disagree with picking wage ranking as arbitary determinant of team strength because it does not allow for the consideration of the following factors: 1. Opposition Talent could be underpaid. I believe that Xavi at his maximum wage was earning less than Toni Kroos. And we know who the better player is. If you compare the wage packets of the likes of Malouda, Wright Phillips,or Fernando Torres to their counterparts in other teams who were actually better than them, then the flaw becomes immediately apparent. 2. Paying over the odds to attract talent. Imagine a player like Raheem Sterling going for 50m and earning 250k a week. Imagine Pogba signing for 120m and 300k a week. Imagine freaking Torress, Falcao,Cuadrado, etc. Those guys aren't earning their astronimacal wages because they are that good - sometimes football clubs are forced to pay world class sums to get average players. Falcao, Torres,Pato would have all massively increased the wage bill without a comensurate increase in talent. So I cant agree with that bogus metric. I agree with many other things he said though. I definitely hold Mourinho personally responsible for our dismal showing last season - However, like I've always said, it takes a lot more than money to buy success. Mourinho is a fantastic manager regardless of his spending, and I'm sure that he will do well at United. 2 Likes |

Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by SIRcumalot: 2:30pm On Jul 28, 2016 |
@griffon
this is nothing new,
you could say the same for any big time manager And if their is any merit to this article we've deep pockets so no worries. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by raumdeuter: 2:34pm On Jul 28, 2016 |
SIRcumalot: I disagree with everything in the article even though I dont like Mourinho. I think its Bullshiitt. I am actually curious if there is any big manager that has a Positive MER. According to this MER, Ranieri is probably the best manager in the world Big clubs pay big salaries and look for big managers because their ambition is to stay BIG or become Bigger Like Biggie said Sky is the limit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3vOeCkeCNA 3 Likes |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by afrodoc2: 2:34pm On Jul 28, 2016 |
All these mysterious geniuses sef. They should check the MER of SAF, Hittzfeld and Guardiola. Tony Pulis has a better MER than Wenger, but who is the better manager? |
