Just heard on radio. . .

Pep was known for playing false no9.

Now with Claudio Bravo, he has invented the false no1 position.

hensben:
Mr what are you saying? mou has proved himself in this league. Let pep do same before you have effrontery to troll mou.

The truth is pep is an overrated coach who got his first top flight job in a platter of gold(barca) and people like you think he is the best thing after slice bread.

Pep handed Mourinho his worst career loss, Pep has proven himself in the CL winning 2 titles against the EPL best manager of all time

Chelsea and Conte (and Costa?) may be looking to move on from the media- storm generated by the supposed training ground bust-up between head coach and star striker last week, but there are still more details coming to light. According to a report from the Times , for example, Diego supposedly rejected a £200,000 per-week contract renewal offer from Chelsea before the quarrel.
The £200,000 per-week deal, which has been rumoured to be in the cards for a while, would represent a £50,000 bump on his current earnings. Why would he reject it? Apparently, Costa received an offer from Chinese club Tianjin Quanjian to the tune of £570,000-per- week , which was first reported this weekend.
While Conte and the rest of the squad remain adamant that Diego missed our 3-0 win over Leicester City merely due to a back problem, the Times and other media continue to push the claim that the main reason behind is the offer from the Chinese Super League.
Somebody’s not telling the truth, or at least not the whole truth and nothing but the truth. The “bust-up” was initially reported as purely a fitness issue, but has now completely morphed into a financial one — neither of which make complete sense. Is the media massively misinterpreting or extrapolating from the scant information available? Is Costa’s agent, Jorge Mendes playing some typical Jorge Mendes games?

According to the Telegraph, Bamford
will be undergoing a medical this
morning before completing his, now
permanent return to his former loan
club Middlesbrough, with whom he was
named Championship Player of the
Year in 2014-15. The transfer fee is
understood to be around £6m upfront,
but includes plenty of add-ons that
could push the price to around £10m.
Bamford had been at Chelsea since
January 2012, joining on a £1.5m
transfer from Nottingham Forest . Over
the five years at the club, he went on
loans to MK Dons, Derby County ,
Middlesbrough, Crystal Palace, Norwich
City and Burnley. He never recorded a
single appearance for the first team,
despite it being one of his major
ambitions .

Airmark I got something for you...


Who is the best goalkeeper in the EPL at the moment?


Yet you scream out his name every time...

lekkie073:
dat doesnt mean he is better than any of the two. He stole a blurprint from the barca archives and felt he has d masterplan to dominate Europe like barca....... Forgeting dat some factors might render d blueprint non-effective.
Factors like...... U cannot create another messi

When he won his first CL title, it was the EPL best manager of all time who also had Ronaldo in his team and he brutally molested him in Rome.

To avoid doubt he repeated it in front of the queen at Wembley. Before taking Mourinho to Spain and giving him a brutal beating even with Mourinho having a football great like Ronaldo in his team

Ibime:
Nice to see Senegal winning in AFCON.

Mane should just stay there until we have played Liverpool on 31st Jan.

AFCON QF is on 28th Jan so I'm supporting Senegal to reach semifinal.

But TBH, from what I saw of Liverpool today, we should beat them with our 3-4-3.

Na Spurs dey fear me. You can't pass their midfield and their wingbacks are killing everyone. I'm rooting for City to beat them next week hut I doubt it. Pochettino might give Pep the disgrace of his life.

Marcelo Lippi with CL and world cup no dey

Maybe na list go define your career when its over

Thats how Terry will be filling up lists upandan without any perofmance to back it up

Havilah93:


Seconded.

But are Pep's boys up to the task?

A coach only measure is by his success on the field and what he wins not by any bogus list.

Simply show us your trophies in the continent not by writing names on paper like list of noisemakers

Will pep ever win the Epl with his tiki-taka philosophy ?

raumdeuter:

Is Pep playing tiki taka?
He has won trophies bigger than the EPL. Will Conte ever win the CL with his 3-4-3?

dyabman:
Yea that is why he's failing at the moment ..

raumdeuter:


Will his current failure take away his achievements?
