lordfalcao:
what he said made sense.. How many youth are in Madrid's and Barca's first 11? 1 or none

Apart from asensio how many youth team played more regularly for Madrid this season? You will find out 2 or none.

How many youth played regularly for barca only sergi Roberto...

When last did a youth break into barca 11 from LA masia?

Despite barca and Madrid having youth scattered over Europe.. When it comes to the competitive front they don't use youth and keep bidding for world class like hazard every season..

You think by having enuf youth in Madrid team playing regularly dy would go back to back and win 3 UCL in 4 Yeatrs.. Football no dy like that..

1- No one is having we should have 5 youth players in our XI

2- Madrid has 10 world class players in their XI,we have just 3.......Big difference
Nacho,Asensio,Jese,Vasquez and co are not playing because of Players like Pepe/Varane,Bale,Isco and James..........Not Cahill,Mikel,Baba,Matic,Pedro and Alonso


It is hard to play a youth in Madrid's team because it is hard to find an U-22 player better than Ramos,Modric,Rinaldo and co.........


But here
Ake is already better than Cahill
Baker is better than Matic
Chalobah is better than Matic
Andreas is better than all our defenders not named Azpi


Don't ever compare our situation to Madrid's

donjazet:
I really can't comprehend you guys at all. You can't eat your cake and have it back. The board clearly had to choose between ake and Christensen and decided to sell ake at a very handsome price with an inserted buy-back clause and you guys are complaining . Haba.

Today you clamour for the club to buy a world class defender(vvd, bonucci) and relegate cahill to the bench, then you want Christensen promoted as a starter bearing in mind that we still have zouma, luiz and azpi, now we have Sandro and Alonso and you want neither sold that's 7 defenders and you still think ake shouldn't be sold when it's very clear he has no future in the club?? HABA!!

You can't have it all!! There are limited registered players you know??

That's the problem I have with us( Chelsea colleagues) we clamour for youth promotion and integration and at the same time agitate for the club to sign the latest world class stars, what sort of hypocrisy is that?
How can you clamour for the signing of vvd when you already have luiz, azpi, Christensen and cahill and still wish to keep ake?

You're happy about the record breaking signing of Sandro when you already have Marcos Alonso, what message does that that send to Kennedy and Ola Aina.

Some Chelsea fans on other forums were sad that traore was sold when it was as clear as night and day that the boy absolutely had no future whatsoever at Chelsea. We are clamouring for world class strikers, he has already gone to 4 different teams and countries, do you really want his future to be that unstable?? We don't understand the plight these loan boys go through. Some have been to 5 different countries and at the end, it was tantamount to failure. We have to sought our priorities right.

I read Martin Samuels article on daily mail yesterday and felt it personally. He was spot on.

You can't have it all, it's either we continue this way or we go the way of Tottenham. They haven't won any trophy in a lot of years but they are competing at the very top with youths. They don't go after world class stars and their fans don't agitate because they are contented with their current model and they believe they'll get there soon.

We have to choose and end this hypocrisy of ours now

Madrid are eating their cake and still have it
Barca use to do to


It's all about sense...If we had defenders better than Ake,no p,but we don't
You can't be benching and selling the best youth team in the world for Baba,Mikel and co
A backline of Azpi-Luiz-VVD with Ake,Christensen and Cahill means you will eat your cake and have it


A midfield of Kante,Veratti and Fabregas with Baker,Chalobah and Tolusso means your cake still get icing

A front line of Hazard-Insigne and Lukaku with Pedro,Musonda,Michy and Traore means you are doing well


Spurs and Arsenal aren't failing because they really on youth,they are failing because they 'Over rely'on them

You see Asensio and Nacho? That's how to groom a player in a big team
See Kimmich

Ibime:
lalaboi, I got your back. Whoze am, whoze am!

Yeye Matic fanboys

Ibime,lalaboi and Hensben right now

lordfalcao:
Arsenal joker of a club, they can't even land onyekuru, dude is going to Everton..

Actually they pulled out of the deal because they are getting Mbappe

Here is a picture of Kylian having his medical

The player I am almost at the point of hating is joining and causing meltdown of the fanbase of my most despised club


Bigger joy than when CFC won the UCL

lalaboi:
In the end, you cannot understand what is above your reasoning.

Who told you Matic > Fabregas?
1. Everyone else told you that for us to be sound defensively in this formation, Matic will do that better than Fabregas in that Central Position.

2. Conte deemed it fit to start with Matic on plenty occasions ahead of your Fabregas. The stats didnt lie. But you, youtube scout from ogbomosho thinks otherwise on nairaland

3. The same Bakayoko that never offers anything going forward in atleast 3 full season of professional footy. Think about it, do we need another tackler/runner in the midfield that has Kante doing all that already? This is the point you fail to understand because you more interested in throwing imaginery L's that'll uturn on you. Bakayoko is not what we need in that middle, how you fail to see that is what i don't understand. Winning an arguement of last season which will be irrelivant in the new season is what your myopic mind is all about.

4. What everyone that supported matic here said was that we needed an agile Central Midfielder who would offer defensive solidity and as well come up with a fair share in attack. Just look at Bakayoko and tell us here if he will do more than matic has done attack wise in a season? So why are we buying almost the same thing with just little margins?

5. The same nonsense about Fabregas pairing Kante will come out your mouth again when You wont see the what Bakayoko brings to the team. Conte was wise enough, He figured Fabregas was no competition with Kante or Matic and started using him in switching to 352 when Willian or Pedro are off.

The little margins that make you think Bakayoko is better dey make you hyperventilate anyhow on the thread. Your eye go clear very soon.

Still......You can't comprehend


Bakayoko is not my first choice partner for Kante,dude is not even top 10 on my wishlist

BUT HE IS STILL BETTER THAN MATIC....HE MIGHT OFFER NOTHING OFFENSIVELY LIKE MATIC BUT HE WILL MAKE US MORE SOLID AT THE BACK

Clearly Conte preferred someone to make us stronger at the back to a playmaker than is defensively ok..
When you reason clearly like this it is not hard to see that Conte thinks Matic offers nothing big defensively

I mean,when you sell a DM to but another DM the reason is obvious to every straight guy not some of ya all crushing on Matic

lalaboi:
Twice the player Matic is indeed. . You go dey talk all this nonsense talk. Why are we not seeing double the numbers. ALl this little margins from bakayoko and all of a sudden he's better than the angel you know.

It's also people like you that will be the first the complain when Kante is doing all the tackling once again and Bagayoko offers less defensively and zilch going forward.

Baba actually thinks you have to have twice the numbers of a player to be twice the player .......
It is no secret that I don't like Bakayoko but he is better than Matic,no debate

Kante won't be doing all the tackling, you know why? Because Bakayoko doesn't have the speed and agility of a heavily pregnant 95 year old woman trying to climb the stairs


Ya all Matic brigade are actually becoming pathetic,Conte didn't think twice before discarding the good for nothing Serbian.....He would be lucky if Conte informed him by text,if na me na Pigeon go deliver the informal 'Bleep out' letter

Tackles,interceptions and Duel success....Despite playing less minutes and playing for a team that dominated possession in French league in almost every game,Baka still piss on Slowtic


Baka will not improve us offensively, Matic didn't either....But defensively?? God punish Matic

Against Liverpool, Kante had 13 recoveries,Even Hazard 3,Matic was struggling with 1.......In a game which we were badly dominated ooo
No one should believe something like " he couldn't do much because his partner was doing almost everything".......So lame,this is a football game not chemistry practical


Ya all told us Matic>Fabregas because Conte thought so
Oya take am......Conte just confirmed Baka>Matic and he is keeping Fabregas

hensben:
This sandro to me is not a proper Lb. It's just like signing replica of Malouda to play left back. Football don evolve sha. But still, sandro nor worth that money.

We should have signed Bertrand that is PL proven, right?

Griffon:
We will be here to regret selling Matic to the scummies.

Watch this space.

Wait....When you see Matic,what do you see?


I am baffled honestly

hensben:
Twice the player matic is? Ok can you tell me what you see in bakayoko that matic is not doing aside running.

Btw, where is Ben Afar? He's no longer in PSG?

More tackles
More interceptions
More take ones
Better work rate

What else do you want bro??


Ben Arfa?? That one is all talent no desire......Bobo dey lazy gan

E shey ibi teti beere(Mata,Mourinho)
E shey ibi tey bade(Matic)
Adupe o Woodward,ibi tie mu waa lo(Cahill,Costa)


Matic-Fellaini-Pogba...........Imagine the height /ball sense ratio of that midfield........ Kai

hensben:
selling matic to get bakayoko? Ok sit don luk na dog name.

It is not about who is replacing Matic

You guys swore that Matic was doing a very good job and the fact that Conte trusted him is a pointer to what he brings

And yes........Bakayoko might not be the ideal signing,but he is twice the player Matic is

One minute Silence for the Matic brigade

Gigantic L coming their way,we know them but we won't mention names

Antonio Conte though

Man was seeing Costa and Matic deliver -2/10 performances every match day and he kept playing them,only to discard them now


Weirdo

Segadem:
that's how we lost Petr Cech to arsenal and lost Courtois to injury few weeks later, and we all know what happened there after

Even if we lose Baka and Kante to injury,Chalobah dey,if we lose him,Ake dey........IF Ake get suspension,Luiz dey

Funlord2:


Na bigkesh and Griffon nigga for life you dey advice so?

Immediately I read the bolded part I knew it could only be one person....He can be annoying sometimes..... Actually everytime

airmark:
You aint serious. Matic may deliver for man utd o.

The only way he will deliver is if they make him their pizza delivery boy......And they players will probably die of hunger because the idiot is slow like Glo network on 2G

Jose Mourinho forever proving he is one of us

This guy might not be that bad

Most balanced LB in the world
Beat destroyer in the world
Eden Hazard
Van dijk


We are getting there


P.S- I am still quitting if we sell Ake

ALEX SANDRO!!!


WHEN HAZARD HEARD THE NEWS

None of the bolded names plays for France and he still couldn't break through

raumdeuter:
Matic fall on you, Lukaku fall on you

Dembele run from you, Mbappe run from you

Are you done talking? Tell me DAYO are you done talking?

Matic don't wanna be my player no more

Ibime:
Make season quick start so you can stop asking rhetorical questions.

I don't want any mention notifications this summer until Chelsea make a signing please. I dey vex.

Bakayoko fall on you

If we sell Ake,I quit


Simple

pamcode:
Really? How did you confirm?

Lukaku's latest Instagram post,and Bakayoko na settled story

Lukaku and Bakayoko are already Chelsea players
VVD and Sandro almost done

One more marquee forward needed..............James?Mahrez? Insigne?

I would like Auba on the wings though

What is this world turning into??

Celebrating a thief who doesn't pay his taxes.....Gosh

What an upgrade

Oasis007:


Your love for Romeu is kinda funny to me and better describe as a copied Assignment, coz...........!

Romeu is class abeg.......very very good

It's hard to understand why you guys talk about Carrick's replacement and never mention him

Van Dijk,Luiz,Christensen


That's a back line with more vision than someone's 89m

Southampton can't reject that Van dijk bid for sure
The bid for Sandro is big enough
Bakayoko fee agreed(Of course this club must add a bit of bad news)


Conte lost it in one day and niggas started working.....DON
