I'm transferring from molde to Valencia for 62 million.

Your own good nah...see upgrade

I'm supposed to move for £42million

I'm leaving Rangers to join MK Dons bruh wtf

Dembele isn't coming after all.

Maybe in the summer.

BlueMann:
Goodluck

Everton have gotten VDB, and they're close to getting Dele Alli from Spurs - seems Lampard is an admirer.

Speaking of spurs, they just officially concluded deals for Bentancur and Kulusevski. Ndombele out.

Interesting moves on deadline day.

Goodluck

Lord knows I'm not stoked about Dembele possibly joining Chelsea. I'd rather wait till summer to get someone like Raphinha.

The rumours are catching fire though.

Kantebets:
Better than Alonso by far
Far aggressive and faster than Chilwell
LWB secure till end of season

You sure about the bolded?

In terms of offense though, he isn't at their level. He's gonna have to improve that aspect of his game.

Amoto94:
Chelsea have registered an interest in signing Leeds United winger Raphinha at the end of the season.

Heard they're interested in Kennedy...maybe we can use that as a bargaining chip.

Havertz10:
how about mount?

What about him?

Meanwhile, see what the real Mason was up to today

So, Joe Edwards (who's done a lot in the youth setup) is expected to join Lamps at Everton, but Anthony Barry (a huge catalyst in our set piece improvement - both defending and attacking) will stay with Tuchel.

Don't play with my emotions

Shey Greenwood never take e hand end e career like this

Just hoping that Anthony Barry won't be tempted to join Lampard at Everton. Also suspecting that one or both of Barkley and RLC could move - most likely Barkley.

Meanwhile, our U-18s pulled off a stupendous comeback in the FA Youth cup yesterday...trailing Liverpool 3-0 in the 69th minute, they ended up winning 4-3.

Tuchel will look at Levi Colwill in the summer & likes Gallagher and Broja, BUT if Chelsea receive bids that are too good to turn down, then they could be SOLD.

donjazet:
Once you agree with the bolded, the rest is semantics. They don't do it as often as he does.
But it's important to note that the role of chance creation does not fall primarily on jorginho. That is the role of the forward players. The central and attacking midfielders.

My issue is with your first statement I quoted, which I believe you phrased poorly. To say no other midfielder can give accurate passes or has the vision to release defense splitting passes is simply not true boss, whether or not Jorginho is our best passer. Shey u get?

lordfalcao:
and also one plays higher up while the other sits..

The stats are similar .

Fair enough. But he has been better, no?

Elnino4ladies:
Lampard is back in premier league #Everton

Wish him the best of luck.

lordfalcao:
Jorginho 5 big chance created, kovacic 6 in the premier league

Jorginho 333 forward passes, kovacic 216 forward passes

Jorginho 1,421 touches , kovacic

Jorginho 6 through balls, kovacic 1,033

All in the premier, is there any huge significance between this stats, that made kova definitely better

Okay, remove the "definitely" there, since that seems to be the issue. Kova has still been better.

Don't forget he's played over 400 minutes less. More than nine halves worth of football.

donjazet:
What do you think I opined?

"Apart from jorginho's passing, no other midfielder knows how to give accurate passing or has the foresight and vision to release defense splitting passes."

In other words, Jorginho is our only mid who knows how to give accurate passes or has foresight and vision to release defense splitting passes. That's not true now, is it? Kovacic especially would have something to say about that.

My point is: let's say Jorginho is the best passer of all our midfielders, it doesn't mean the rest don't know how to "give accurate passes" or lack "foresight and vision to release defense splitting passes". Na that statement be my wahala.

donjazet:
Does kante or kovacic give better passes than Jorginho?

That isn't what you opined initially.

And as for the question; what do you even mean by better passes? Through balls, big chances created, forward passes? If so, then yes, Kovacic has defo given better passes than Jorginho this season.

You said what?!

birdman:
Dosunmu dey my fantasy team, so I hope this helps me

I hope he doesn't get overworked sha...been playing heavy minutes recently.

How you rate Dosunmu? Steal of the draft maybe?

AnfieldFan:
So, are Chelsea attackers failing to convert or are the chances not just quality ones?

Bit of both.

birdman:
The suspension is just about right. If it was any other player, probably no suspension. But Allen has a habit of clumsy but dangerous fouls. A suspension should make him rethink some of those over-hustle plays.

That extra swipe with the right hand is exactly the definition of over-hustle. Another example, if someone is about to dunk on you and is already midair, you have to stay still because if you attempt to block the shot, or even move carelessly, you WILL injure that dunker.

Sometimes, you have to take the L, take the posterization and prevent injury. A suspension like this is an adequate warning for over eager players

This Grayson Allen wey I dey see so... one game suspension no go touch the werey, ban am for like 600 years.

It really hurts me cos now we've got three key guys - including our two key perimeter defenders - out for 6-8 weeks, and another out till God knows when.

Roland17:
I am not sure of what to make of G. Allen's suspension by the league. While I agree the play deserved a technical, I am trying to convince that getting further punishment from the league is justifiable. This is probably a case of Allen's history, including the incident at Duke taking precedence in setting a precedent in the NBA. Caruso suffered a fractured wrist from the incident and will be out for 6-8 weeks after surgery.

Mf has a whole five minute compilation(!!) of dirty plays on YouTube.

That play was dirty and intentional, as his history would suggest. And if it wasn't intentional, then that guy is dirty by default. The attempted block with the left hand was reckless but understandable, but how do you explain the swipe with the right hand, while Caruso was already rotating downwards in midair? With a bit more rotation, Caruso may well have landed on his head.

That one game suspension was too small.

Amoto94:
Eight trophies at Chelsea playing four positions

2012/13 - Europa League - RB
2014/15 - Premier League - LB
2014/15 - League Cup - LB
2016/17 - Premier League - RCB
2017/18 - FA Cup - RCB
2018/19 - Europa League - RB
2020/21 - Champions League - RCB
2021/22 - Super Cup - RWB
Captain Azpi

Eight trophies... quite successful, but it should've been so much more. We've lost so many finals in that period.

Ibime:
This thirsty guy is another Wayne Bridge.

Go dey advertise love with lesbian wey women footballers done smash tire.

Just like Wayne Bridge go fall in love with bar hostess wey every Chelsea player done smash especially Babayaro and Gudjohnsen, come dey complain when Terry went to collect his share of community tøto

Hmm...probably the reason I've been seeing her a lot on SM recently, as well as of her looks and her bunda.

Jordyn Huitema sha >>>

AnfieldFan:
Ian Wright

“I wanted to give Trent some flowers because I read something the other day. So, 50 Premier League players have four progressive passes per 90 minutes from open play. 21 players have five, five players have six, two players have seven, no players have eight, nine or 10.

''Trent Alexander Arnold has 11. He is out there, he is gone. He’s Elon Musk, he’s Jeff Bezos, he’s gone to space, he’s gone somewhere else. He’s got to get flowers.''

Got to hand it to Trent though. Just a different gravy offensively. His ambition and genius are unmatched.

And the above is why Robertson equally deserves massive plaudits with how he's kept up. I think he matches Trent in terms of assists since he joined (saw something like that somewhere, correct me if I'm wrong though).

Transfer update

Southampton (again ) are interested in signing Tino Anjorin on permanent basis before the end of the window. They're one of several clubs interested in his signature - with other championship clubs looking yo sign him as well.
