So Portugal with Bruno,Pepe,Carvalho,Neves,Gomes,Renato,Ronaldo,Moutinho,Bernado silva and Nani can't beat a Local government


I just dey follow stupid teams come these days

Nihilist:
Bonnuci though

That guy can see your future. General overseer.

I don't know ifconte can replicate that counter attacking formation at Chelsea though.

We don't have that libero type defenderived with the eyes and feet to spot and ping those balls. Eric Dier and Vertoghne are two epl CBS who I know can do that. Maybe Emre Can

They say Stones is in that category too, but I've only seen him play nonsense so I don't know

This kinda game is what we should be expecting in our big games under Conte
Baba said he doesn't play on the counter,even if he does we will be trying to break down our opponents in 70% of our games
I will love to see Italy play against Sweden,a game where they will have to hold the ball and dictate things

I remember we had that problem in 13/14 season losing to teams like Sunderland and Norwich and clearing all the big games


John stones is rubbish,in everything!

Conte will do nothing without proper buys
Italy have Chellini and Bonucci,we have Iva and Cahill
They have De Rossi,we have Matic




Abeg I won't mind any of Carrasco,Mertens and Candreva
All better than Willian and Pedro

How a human being with 2 retinas functioning in sync will think Hazard was Hidden is beyond me!

Wilmots is a goat!!!!

God didn't give u Hazard,Carassco,KDB,Mertens,Dembele just for you to build the team around Fellaini!

I hope God can ever forgive me for comparing Lukaku to Drogba


Shoutout to captain Hazard,Witsel and Nainggolan.....
Conte I see u

kokaneprodigy:
Walcott,Ox,Gibbs,Chambers,Wilshere in our first team, even Adelana1 won't troll with this line. Even Welbeck didn't start upto 5 games in all competitions last season if I'm not mistaking.

Gayners don't know the diff beetween first team and first XI

Pataki:
France won their opening game, it was an Arsenal player who scored their first goal.

Wales won their opening game against a team that just recently flogged Germany. It was an Arsenal player who gave an assist for the winning goal.

Switzerland won their opening game. It was an Arsenal player who had the most completed passes.

So if you want to troll, at least troll with something valid.

The focus is on English players

You have Welbeck,Walcott,OX,Gibbs,Chambers,Wilshere......
You have more english players in your first team than other teams I listed

Tottenham had 5 english players that started for England
Liverpool had 1
United had 2
Chelsea had 1
City had 2

Guess who missed out despite having like a whole English XI
Ur club has more english wastes than any Recycling company in London


Even the Mumu who was selected just to be Sterling's weed partner that was brought in had enough time to spread the bad luck he carried all the way from North london

The only advantage of having a dormant and lazy board like ours is that you avoid expensive,useless and clueless signings like Sterling cause they are never going to bid anyway

What a waste


Roy didn't even disappoint me

BREAKING: Piet de Visser confirms Chelsea's interest in 'several players of the France team' live on Dutch TV (NOS)


Di marzio reports Chelsea enquired about Payet....West ham asked for 60-70m

BREAKING: Piet de Visser confirms Chelsea's interest in 'several players of the France team' live on Dutch TV (NOS)

Since Xhaka is another Ozil then that means we have the 2 best midfielders in the league..........


COYG

I don't understand what Tevez,Milito and Payet were doing with their lives when they were 20-26 years old........

Latecomers



Pogba ehn,he is just a jack of all trades and master of none........
Can pass,mark,dribble and shoot.....But he is not special in any of it.....
I will pass

A CB didn't goof against Suarez,Ronaldo,Bale,Benzema,Griezman,Neymar,Messi But the one time he bleeped up against Torres, he is average

nateevs:
Now you are up my street. For all of William's work rate, output is still way below what is expected of a midfielder. I have been saying this since Willian's arrival. For me, I have extreme views. I have observed for a while that there is a certain manner of imbalance that fielding the likes of Fabregas, Oscar and Willian brings. None of them is a complete Midfielder. If you ask me, if I can get cash for all, I will.

As a matter of fact, I believe even Matic brings a manner of imbalance to the team. I am beginning to look in a certain way. Left to me, I will re-staff the midfield and wings with the sole aim of bringing balance, structure and better ball retention to the midfield and attack.

Nainggolan ------ Kante
-----Mkhitaryan----

------Winger Hazard----
------- CF

Dream-Nainggolan,Kante and Mkhitaryan
Expectation- Coquelin,Wijnaldum and pjanic
Reality- Mikel,Matic and Fabregas

PietroRico:
Aubameyang is just a slight upgrade on Danny welbeck.
Another speed merchant with average finishing.

Nigga,u don't have to be bitter....

After the comment above i decided to check the transfer news before going to bed,a decision am regretting right now......

According to Portuguese media we are in the final stages of Brahimi's transfer......

Another winger without end product,dribbling up and down like a pendulum bob.


What kinda unfortunate bastards are in charge?

City will announce Auba the day we announce Kwadwo Asamoah



If Roman is tired,he can always sell.......
You don't have to buy big,just be serious....Dortmund are winning the market with cheap,reasonable and valuable signings


I will soon retire as a fan

lordfalcao:
Conte: i do everything except counter attacks. I do not play on the counter, I never even train on counter-attacks. Its not in my concept of Football.


Premier league needs a lot of counters ooooo

I don't really think you need to train on counters to be decent at it.....

Let him do his thing

http://m.calciomercato.com/en/news/bologna-set-a-price-for-juve-bayern-target-diawara-161058

Juve and Barca in for Fulham's level

http://www.espnfc.com/story/2886121/samuel-umtitis-move-from-lyon-to-barcelona-is-not-a-done-deal-says-jean-michel-aulas

Barca almost completed Umtiti deal

http://www.espnfc.com/story/2875279/barcelona-target-hatem-ben-arfa-considering-three-clubs-for-transfer

Barca wants Ben Arfa....This guys had 17 league goals!!!!! More than William's total as a Chelsea player
Even Hazard,Payet and Auba never scored 17 league goals in france


When m talking Cretin mutants like lalaboi typing with his Grandma's inherited primordial china phone should shut up and listen rather than throwing shots at things your brain with a memory space of a matchbox can't comprehend

I can see an idiot throwing shots,well m no goalkeeper . ....
No time for diluted brains

A Man is scared of what he doesn't understand....


Weisser is the best RB in Bundesliga this season...hands down
If you don't like Ben Arfa then no p,I can understand that one......But he is for free and if we can mange his injuries he will come good

The truth is Willian is at his peak,At his peak he has 4 goals from open play in the league...This is the best time to sell him....
Did someone just complain about Musonda? A player that did in 6 months what none of our wingers did in a full season

Costa is like 74,Injuries,suspensions and inconsistency...... I don't understand why you don't want him sold....

I have seen this somewhere before.......last September when I was calling for Kennedy,Musonda,Traore,Aina and co they said we will relegate, well we almost did with their superstars.....

Shebi its Willian,Matic,Fabregas( half season merchant),Iva and Cahill una want,No p......I dey here dey look

Diawara is better than 85% of EPL DMs already

If I had said we should sign Kante,Dembele,Alderwield,Dier,Weigl, and Mahrez for 60m combined last season...You guys would still have preferred your Matic and Iva and call it Fulham's level


Oya go and sign expensive shits like Koulibaly,Manolas,Morata and co

When you can get Bazoer and Tielemans of this world

Lemme bookmark this first

My transfers......

Ins- Murillo,Umtiti,Weisser,Kante,Diawara,Shane long/Dembele(Rennes),Ben Arfa(free)

OUT- Iva,,Mikel,Pedro,Willian( for funds,his display can be better...wise to sell now),Baba,Costa,

YOUTHS- Ake,Baker,Colkett,Musonda


Coutois-
Wisser-Zouma-Umtiti-Kenedy/Azpi

Kante-DiAwara-Baker

Musonda - CF- hazard




Subs- Ake,Murillo,Cahill,fabregas,Colkett,long,Ben Arfa.......

Wisser+Umtiti+Murillo can't be more than 60m combined
Diawara and kante have a 40m release clause combined

The sales should cover at least 60m.......

With Diawara and Kante protecting Zouma and Umtiti,we will have more clean sheets than any dull waec candidtate....
Kenedy and Wisser,Hazard and Musonda.....Wing play just got crazy




But yeah,this is Chelsea.....

When you sign an EPL CF without competition from no one,then you know you are offside......

IF Vardy is a hot player for 20m,it wouldn't have been Arsenal

Nihilist:
Chambers is better than anyone currently in our academy. He has almost 2 full seasons of EPL footy under his belt, and only turned 21 this year.

I'm not one of those people that would shout 'I know footy more than you', but I do have an understanding of the game that is possibly different to most people on here, and I think that's because I attend a lot of live matches from the EPL down to League 2, and I tend to see things slightly differently to the average Nairaland pundit.

Maybe that's why I didnt agree with the Emenalo thing...and if I remember correctly, you ran away when asked for a fact-based assessment of what the man actually does. I suspect that the same thing would happen if you were asked to tender an opinion on Chambers outside the 'We want a big name' argument.

First of all I was just joking as usual,not interested in the argument....But now that you brought it up
Whether you see games from EPL to LA liga down to French open,We don't need a player that behind Per and Gabriel

I ' run' away from arguments because m in a very crucial period right now and I don't have time for arguments which no one would be right or wrong at the end of the day.....

Any one who have followed my posts will know m not the 'big name signing' nigga,I was one of the few guys really crying for Kenedy,Cheek,Traore and co early last season in place of big names like Hazard,Costa and co.......Same way I wanted Musonda and Boga last season......Just get me someone who can do the job and Chambers who can't get a shirt in a defence that has gone 4/5 years together without a league title isn't the man...
I don't know why You will want Chambers when we have young players like Andreas and Kalas....

Its obvious the only reason you think Chambers is better than anyone in our academy is because he has 2 full EPL seasons under his belt...... The same way you were on your 'Youth need professional experience' whatever before Rashford,Musonda and co bleeped that talk


No one gives young players chances as much as Wenger does,yet the Frenchman had to sign an average Gabriel and ignored the Awesome young Chambers....
Chambers was ahead of Bellerin the same way Per was ahead of Chambers 2 years ago,you know the rest.....


Same thing for Wijnaldum,a player Newcastle fans that saw him play every EPL minute desperately want out of their club.....

Nihilist wants Chambers? And I was surprised when he supported Enenalo

Pep is not the best in anything,not even in Using Messi

Look at how an AS Roma failure floored him in all aspect of Football at Barca
Its worth knowing Pep had a far better team than Enrique on paper

Messi has won the UCL with Rijkaard,Pep and Enrique....Played the Copa and WC final with Argentina....Like Jose said,Dundee will play a final with Messi

If Pep can't use Barca better than Enrique, I seriously don't get the PEP hype....

Also good to note Enrique didn't need Ovrebo to win his first UCL ...

Pep XI
Valdes
Puyol
Pique
Abidal
Alves
Yaya
Xavi
Iniesta
Henry
Eto
Messi


Pep is a certified fraud

Someone just called SAF mediocre


Barca fans ehn...very stupid fans

They asked someone a question in True/False format and he was writing long essays

GBR1:
Are you trying claim Pep is responsible for Barcelona's Academy success? I know you are a Pep fan but you should be more objective than this.
In 2008 when Barcelona needed a coach, why did you think Barcelona's board found it so easy to overlook the CV of top coaches then and give a rookie like Pep the job? Pep turned out a good coach or he's a really good coach but those folks knew exactly what they were doing.
Pep reached 2 CL finals in 3 years with Barcelona easily but he couldn't go past the semi finals in 3 same years with Bayern? What has changed if not the team and the players? Here I'm being nice by not saying he took over a Bayern team that just won the CL, a team that made 2 consecutive CL finals, a team that made 3 CL finals in 4 years and he made them lose disgracefully (5-0) at his first attempt to Real Madrid who had not made a CL final in over 11 years. How can you defend him here?
Do you know how many Barcelona players formed the core of the Spain team that dominated football and won every trophy possible between 2008-2012 including the World Cup and 2 euros?
Was it Pep managing them too then?
How much credit do Aragones and Del Bosque even get compared to Pep?
What silly structure are you referencing here as invented by Pep? You mean the same tiki-taka that Spain used to win euros 2008 pre Pep?

Your points are too easy to pick out. You need to do better than this or this debate won't last very long. Better still, call Dayo and your fellow Barcelona friends for help as you guys are used to doing and it still won't be enough.

Now this is a smackdown....Ramdueter,counter this

What if I tell you I don't understand the argument anymore

Diademk07:
I know people use the Bayern team as a Stick to beat Pep but then the squad left behind by the previous coach, although a quality one was an injury prone squad. The 3 most important players of that squad (Ribery, Robben, Bastian) were quite injuryprone and were already ageing. Maybe he could have won atleast a CL with that squad but the good thing is that he left them in better shape than he met them.
Players like Kimmich, Thiago, Costa, Coman and Lewy are all young quality players having atleast 8-10 quality years ahead of them and there's the likes of Muller, ALaba, Vidal and Boateng to complement them. Bayern couldn't have asked for anything more.
The point is he's shown that he's capable of building a team which Mourinho has never shown apart from lurking around to pounce on any cast off from the big/quality teams.
