Greatihex:
fear don dey catch you already?

I asked the mumu to put money on his claim, that Hazard wouldnt score more than 15 goals in all competitions.

Whizlight:
I thought i could stop from being silly. But it is in ur blood. And i never said u are nt making money. That one no concern me.

You actually couldn't stop from being silly.

Eruditor:
How many games did Messi play in his first UCL?

You go and check the number of games, the world best young player, that played a big role in getting Chelsea knocked out, played.

Greatihex:
forget all this.

If not for the transfer ban. Kai. All these stories for no come out.

True but there are some good points in there.

nihilistjnr:
I swear this man used to read Nairaland

I just dey remember all those pro-youth, anti-youtg arguments now

Where bigkesh dey sef?

I also remembered bigkesh while reading it.

Emenalo: “I defended the academy when there was pressure and doubt and pessimism. There was a time when there was a clamour to do more and a manager came in to make a presentation to say the academy was not necessary."

Emenalo: "The argument was it takes too long, we don’t have time, we should use it to make some money here and there, and that the owner should stop pumping money into it because it seemed like a waste. But that wasn’t my idea and I had to fight against it."

Emenalo: "This is where I am very, very proud of the owner Roman Abramovich because of the trust he had in me and the willingness to listen to me and give the academy time. He would not abandon it. He believed in it and in me, and I can’t thank him enough for that.”

Emenalo: “When you implement a policy, you expect it to work. But sometimes the timing or how it is going to work is not so sure. What’s happened with these boys, you can only feel pride. Not just for the boys, but I'm thankful for the effort of a lot of people"

Emenalo: "...coaches and staff, people at the academy, the first-team scouting and loan departments, secretaries, all these people who have had a lot of input into all of these boys succeeding. Of course, you always need some luck"

Emenalo: "and that luck has come with the transfer ban and with the appointment of someone like Frank and his assistants, Jody Morris and Joe Edwards. That’s what you need. It doesn’t mean it will be smooth sailing from here, it just shows that it is possible.”

Emenalo: "The policy was always to have the players grow together and to grow the culture. You saw it at Barcelona with Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets. You get a real culture of boys who understand and care about the club. Look at the celebration at Southampton."

Emenalo: "The first two who arrived to Tammy were Mount and Hudson-Odoi. Then when Mount scored, it was Tammy and Hudson-Odoi. Tomori couldn’t get up the pitch fast enough! You build a really, really wonderful football culture"

Emenalo: "A Chelsea culture and this is where identities come from and these guys will play and care for this club for years and years and years to come. It’s amazing what is unfolding."

Emenalo: “One key area we changed was the training methods. You would see these young lads join the first team and they were knackered after 40 mins. You're asking young lads to play with Lampard and Essien, who played 65 games a season and had the endurance capacity of lions"

Emenalo: "and they were not ready for it. So we implemented the fact that every player in the academy played 45 games, whatever sort of games they were. So, for example, Jay Dasilva played for the Under-18s, the U19s and the U23s to play at least 45 games."

Emenalo: "I thought that would equate to 25 games in the Championship or League One and that’s progress. They learned how to deal with fatigue and they could look the part when they trained with the first team. Then there was the loan programme."

Emenalo: "We realised one reason coaches were coming in and taking players from another team was they could see them in a different context, so why not put our best academy players in this context?"

Emenalo: “You see Andreas Christensen playing for Borussia Monchengladbach, playing in the Champions League against Manchester City and when the coach comes he says ‘ok if this guy can play at that level then he can play for me’. That immediately breeds confidence."

Emenalob “Of course, it didn’t always work and we had to change and adapt but it was beneficial to the boys. Look at Mount, he played a season at Vitesse and a season at Derby, so he’s ready. Tammy, the same at Bristol City, Swansea and Aston Villa."

Emenalo: "Tomori at Brighton, Hull and Derby. CHO is different, but you always get one exceptional talent and the games and training helped him. The idea is at some point, you only have to top up 30 or 40% with those big signings. The other 60 or 70% are players from the academy"

Emenalo: "That leaves you to buy exceptional talents from the transfer market. I think Chelsea are close to that now. You want a scenario where you have £600million of talent from the academy and you only need to spend another £200m to get it over the top.”

Emenalo: “The owner wanted to know what was going on. He watched the young players on television and made notes, and he sent me questions. He was in town when the final was on in 2015 and he wanted to see what the academy looked like. It was fun for him to do that..."

Emenalo: "and to pick out a few players to watch. He’s an unbelievable owner because he struck a good balance with being able to support the first team and support the academy at the same time. He’s won a lot of trophies and his patience with the academy is paying off.”
#CTSR
Emenalo: “I think this will be like a validation for the owner and a certain sense that he is again being the trendsetter in doing something that others are trying to do and struggling to do. So I think he will enjoy that. Ultimately, he loves to see the club lift trophies..."

Emenalo: "but for this season, I like to think as long as the team are above 10th, then he will enjoy the fact that all the boys are coming through and playing great football. It is a success, it is like lifting a trophy.”


Ok.

spillo1:
At inter Milan..... First champions league in 44yrs delivered by Mourinho

At Porto ........First champions league in 17yrs delivered by Mourinho.

Not like Guardiola that Barca won the Champions league just 3yrs before he came in.

You are lecturing eruditor well, but trust me he wouldn't bow to superior points.

Eruditor:
Then, he should also win it without spending money. Then he should also win it with Woking football club. Then he should win it without substitutions. Then he should win it with 8 players on the pitch.

You will always shift the goal post because you have accepted he has scored already.

Messi won UCL before Fraudiola joined Barca and won it after he left. So we cant say without Fraudiola Messi wouldn't have won it. Has Fraudiola won UCL,, without Messi? Only one answer, NO.

Let him prove us wrong that he's not a fraud, carried by those 3 midgets in Barca that time. Must he spend 2billion before winning another UCL?

kendrick93:
He has managed three pre tournament favourites since 2012 namely Barca,bayern and man city yet he he hasn't made the final since 2011 he last won it....

The most overrated club coach in the history of the round leather game bro.

LegoxMetahuman:
why is no one hyping this fraud.

klopp has 3 ucl finals already against all odds. 2 back to back finals.

pep is not better than any manager with 2 ucl

most managers with 2 ucl have either been final. e.g ferguson or replicated their success.

let your overhyped apari do it before you block our hears with hype.

I'm still waiting for when he will lead another club not named Barca, to win UCL. Not sure if he had led another team to the final sef.

Fraudiola should be worshipping a triangular object having pictures of Xavi, Iniesta and Messi at each angle.

raumdeuter:
Zidane is better than Pep Agreed

Bookmarked.

raumdeuter:
Meaning Hazard should topple the best Neymar barcelona season which is 39 goals

But Neymar hasn't done it in France in 2 attempts but you wanted Hazard to do it in his first attempt.

raumdeuter:
If a player claims to be better than C.Ronaldo e.g if Mesi comes to Man Utd and claims to be better than C.Ronaldo

What will be the target for him to prove it?

Note Ronaldo scored 4 goals in his first season

Hazard is a 28yr old not a 22yr old, Hazard is at his peak and he should be giving peak numbers

What concerns me with Ronaldo's first season in Man utd? Anybody claiming to be better should first topple his best season.

Neymar hasn't outscored 20yr old shakushaaku Hazard in his best league season in France, after 2 attempts, yet you said Hazard must score 40 in his first attempt. That's the problem in front of you.

SkimpleD:
Egbon Dayo forgets easily. Our prayers are with him.

Are you sure it's spiritual?

raumdeuter:
[s]Common sense is needed

If a player joins Man Utd and claims he is better than Ronaldo, will they compare his output today to Ronaldo when he first joined Man Utd

Will anyone say Daniel James is better than Ronaldo because he scored more goals than Ronaldos first season?[/s]

Stupid example, senseless post.

If a player claims to be better than C. Ronaldo and that player goes to epl and couldn't outscore Ronaldo's best league goals in a season, in two attempts, such player would be asked to go and sit down. This is exactly what you asked Hazard to do in Laliga and you even asked him to do it in his first attempt, when you said he must score 40.

Can you see how you don't think well before posting your mumu requests and views?

popizaino:
Chelsea are preparing a stunning offer of over €210million to land Neymar in July amid Barcelona interest. #CFC [Don Balon] https:///6BRxbUlv96


How authentic is this news biko

Fake news, Neymar's influencers have started again.

Whizlight:
u guy dont grow tired of aurguing

Whizlight:
Wait is hazard ur brother. Answer me oo airmark. Why will someone just carry other person problem on his head. Be here auguring while hazard makes his money

Why must i answer you?

My auguring here shouldn't give you seizures to be mistyping. Go and fix your life, don't bother about me not making money.

Greatihex:
airmark, nihilistjnr. There is something to bookmark here

Thank you jare, Dayo always lead them to burn their fingers. Neymar's goals that season in all competitions - 15.

Homesteady na mumu, he should put money where his mouth is that Hazard won't score more than 15.

raumdeuter:
So Hazard is comparing himself to a 22yr ol Neymar

You didn't consider the ages when you misled people below. You made it look as if he scored 39 in his first season.

raumdeuter:
Neymar went to La liga farmers league dropped 39

Why can't your 28yr old Neymar outscore the highest league goals in a season, scored by a 21 yr old shakushaku Hazard, in France?

spillo1:
When Rijkaard took over Barca the previous 3 seasons they had finished 4th, 4th and 6th. They were in a real mess, much worse than when Pep took over. Yet even an average coach like Rijkaard, when working in the Barca structure was able to win both La Liga and the Champions league. So it shows there are very good reasons why people are still unsure about Pep. I don't get why there is this resistance to that kind of very reasonable thinking. Look at how the Spanish team was dominating internationally at that time, with Xavi and Iniesta at the heart of it. They were the best players at Euro 2008. Am I supposed to believe Luis Aragones is an amazing coach, as Spain were pretty fantastic at that time and this was before Pep? Then when Pep left Barca, didn't they win the league with their best ever points total, despite Tito being seriously ill and having to manage without him for much of the season. A coach less Barca creating records. If Pep was so vital to Barca's success, then how can he be replaced so easily by someone who is only there part time? Is Luis Enrique an amazing manager?

I had replied that foolish boy that Barca won UCL before Fraudiola came, yet he kept asking me what they won before he came. I don't know if he's physically and mentally blind.

homesteady:
[s]Lol!! Anybody with an iota of sense after seeing their stats will know that Neymar has done better, Neymar was just one goal away from reaching Hazard best of 20, in just 19 matches, while Hazard used 38 matches to get the 20. Sensible people wouldn't even think of comparing both players stats in league one, or have you seen Neymar fanboys coming up with his good stats in league one whenever Neymar vs Hazard arguments is on going?

If you can be saying this kind of nonsense, what do we expect the sheep you are leading in the Citadel to say? [/s]

My question was directed to Dayo, for a reason but you are known for foolishly jumping on posts that are beyond your mental grasp.

Ryocaj:
From ur grammar I get y u don't fancy Vector.. u don't understand him..

goodnewscliff:
What did vec said that was deep?? That needed spiritual decoding ??

homesteady:
[s]That's why you will always continue to be airhead. This will rank high as one of the most stupid thing you've said here on nairaland. Even the guy that had the original tweet has disappeared because he later realized that the post doesn't make any sense.

Even a newbie here knows the drill here, so I wonder why you have decided to display your true self this morning.[/s]

Come back when Neymar's goals match Hazard's best league season goals in France. Maybe this will be easier for your dumb brain to comprehend.

homesteady:
Oh wow! I forgot I was dealing with "Airmark". Time doesn't really change some things.

Next time, don't start writing irrelevant story for a YES or NO question.

homesteady:
You should have known better than posting this nonsense here.
Hazard best tally in French league? Neymar has already surpassed Hazard total league 1 goals with less than 100 matches.

Hazard "best season": 38 games - 20 goals

Neymar league 1 total: 42 games - 38 goals. (In 3 seasons)

Hazard total: 147 games - 36 goals.

[s]The comparison is silly at best, Hazard was still developing while he was in league 1, and Neymar went there as a super star, so of course, Neymar should do far better.

But I'm 100% sure that Hazard will not do better than Neymar first season in Barcelona. Even though that was his first season in Europe, played under the joint most useless coach in recent Barcelona history and had fitness issues, his first season with Barcelona will still be better than Hazard's first season in Madrid.[/s]

It was a simple YES or NO question to raumdeuter, and there was a reason for that. Nobody asked you to be adding Neymar's goals in 3 seasons together to make a point not related to the conversation. It's only about Neymar/Hazard's first seasons in laliga and Hazard/Neymar's best season in France so far.

You can create your own case separately, if you find it difficult to type a YES or NO.

Eruditor:
You are the only one who bigs up corny nonsense.

So, MI is a nobody to you?

popizaino:
So if 1UCL >100 local league trophies how come Conte without any UCL is better than guardiola with 2 UCL according to you?

Some cognitive dissonance?

We had used when both first met in epl, to kill that.

randomperson:
This is ridiculous..... How old was Neymar when he joined Barca? How old is Hazard now?

thorrvik55:
This is ridiculous..... How old was Hazard when he left French league? How old is Neymar now?

You beat me to it.

Raumdeuter, is this true? Just a YES or NO answer please.

Eruditor:
He said he was not going to reply....to him.

In other words, he was not going to do another diss song DIRECTED at Vector.

He may do songs and throw indirect jabs but no one will be this direct again.

You have been in Canada too long not to know the huge gulf in class between the 2 rappers. Vector is inconsequential.

The reason I am not looking forward to anything Vector has to say is because I have listened to him enough to know he does not have what it takes.

Ibime stands a better chance. Vector is corny..trust me.

Hahaha, you are thinking like some Ogbomosho locals. I can get to listen to Vector's materials within minutes.

Bring the Vector of Disstraction1, MI is dead. But Vector may be rusty now after years of drifting away from pure rap. Even your MI knows what he could do with words and a better battle rapper.

popizaino:


Na raumdeuter fit you truly and na you fit raumdeuter.

If you had said this back in 2007 I would have agreed with you but this is 2019 open your eyes Ancelotti is not better than guardiola.
Fifa will have to form another team entirely that will beat pep guardiola if he had what Ancelotti had at ac Milan.

That Bilbao spanked Ferguson, wouldn't make any United fan disrespect their Sir Alex.

Let Fraudiola win UCL with 2 different teams first, then we can bring him close to his elders.

For now, all we know at aparisports is 1UCL> 100 local league trophies and we stand by it.

kokaneprodigy:
Finally we have Eph12

Yaga, Ephraim will be happy.

raumdeuter:
Ancelotti has bee coaching top teams Juven AC Milan Madrid PSG Chelsea Bayern for over 2 decades and has 4 league titles

Now it's about local league trophies won, not UCL trophies again.

raumdeuter:
Yes I CL is >>> 100 local league

Since Ancelotti won 3 UCLs, do the maths for us.

lordfalcao:
ancelotti has never won more trophies than guardiolar

Ancelotti - 3 UCLs

Fraudiola - 2 UCLs

Though it was 1 UCL > 1million local trophies before, let's go with your mentor's latest update below

raumdeuter:
Yes I CL is >>> 100 local league

You can do the maths or call your mentor, names.
