NinjaMetahuman:
how is it Chelsea emotion if I want a player not from Barca or Madrid to win balon D' or? Where did you make that up from?

Their reason is the pandemic, yet the pandemic didn't stop Europe top 5 leagues from concluding the season or UEFA from concluding ucl season.
How is that acceptable?
Not like they cancelled UCL or top leagues.


Madrid paid top dollars for Ronaldo and kaka and even Zidane. They attracted galaticos with top dollars.

Now that's doesn't have to happen anymore. They dont even need to pay shishi before top players force their way to them cos media has built them up that way.

NinjaMetahuman:
if you failed to get the point, what's the point of responding then?

Lewandowski was the highest goal last season and he won UCL, balon d'or magically got cancelled for some dumb reason.

Lewandowski is the highest goal scorer in Europe this season and no one is even considering him again for balon D'or..
You don't think the story will be different, if let's say he plays for Madrid?

Like you said, you failed to get the point. Players wanting to go to traditional team has been twisted by media into players must go to influencial team.


And these influence happened cos Ronaldo and Messi happened.

Ennyjay69:
and you think Messi winning it is fair?

NinjaMetahuman:
it's about football politics and media building a team up to serve as propaganda.

Pre Ronaldo and Messi era, we didn't have to worry about player being from a certain team to win balon d'or.
Even till after 2012, best players just wanna join teams that could guarante UCL trophy or be competitive in UCL.
One of the reasons hazard signed for Chelsea.

Now we have best players trying to ship themselves to Madrid cos media and politics have built them up as a team balon d'or player have to be if they want to be the best.

Now we have situation whereby the likes of hazard mbappe think they need force their way to Madrid to be the best.
Imagine, mbappe still trying to join Madrid even when his current team has bigger chance of winning UCL than Madrid.

Despite Chelsea being UCL winner, if let's say halaand wants to chose a team today. Madrid and Chelsea are available, which team did you think he would chose.

NinjaMetahuman:
ain't you tired of hearing bullshit about players must move to Barcelona or real Madrid to win balon d'or.

If Chelsea player wins balon d'or, that's will put nail on that nonsense talk.

That's why I wanted VVd for balon d'or that time after people started saying Ronaldo was robbed of balon d'or cos he left Madrid (which is the truth if you look at it)


Players with balon d'or ambitions shouldn't necessarily have to move to Madrid or barca.

NinjaMetahuman:
well Chelsea player must win balon D'or
Na my own be that.

And it looks like it's easier to push jorginho for now since Kante didn't get to atleast final in Euros.

Roland17:
Salvia Prague wen don Ja for UCL qualification.

iamoyindamola:

These mumu clowns they select too, are they not the one that put us for this mess

Roland17:
Just negodu! A player with inflated ego! What has he done in recent times at Arsenal to even make that kind of demand? After playing defensive center forward strike back for us abi? He is a free agent next year please ship him out. If he does not leave this season watch Arteta offer an extension.

For the records, I like Lacazette like kilode but the guy has disappointed me so bad. I used to go into every game praying desperately he will perform but the guy fall my hand.

iamoyindamola:
Arsenal to offer roma lacazette for them to allow abraham to join us, if this no be juju i don't know it is abeg

Jodera:

E shock you??

MaziAlaye:
Modric won champions league best player, la liga best midfielder, World Cup best player, club World Cup best player, super cup best player , FIFA the best before he won the ballon do’r all in the same season , Jorginho wasn't even the best player in Chelsea

3minssex:
If Chelsea wins this match I'll give 70k to 7 people on this thread.


Watching....

OJURONGBE1:
Tuchel should be sacked if we lose this match.
What tha heck is Kovacic & Hudson Odoi doing in this match.

TheLequte:
Okay.

But how many golden boots has Henry got? And how much does Harry Kane have?

Not saying one is greater than the other. Just comparing notes.

Harry Kane would’ve been closer to Thierry H. if he’d moved to a top club 3-4 years ago.

TheLequte:
Maybe he meant to quote me. Was a bit puzzled when I saw his take addressed to you.

But then it’s his opinion.

Griffon:
Did you even read my post at all? Oga I am not TheLequte who drew up the comparisons.

Jodera2:
1.. Lol, juventus aren't called Old Ladies for nothing na.
If I call chiellini and thiago Silva old, I'm not wrong. I dunno why you see this as an issue to be honest

2... Yes, pique was slightly above average. Every barca fans knows that. No sentiments!!

raumdeuter:
Correct compilation but I think Henry was the best of them

Kane could have been if he had left Spurs 3-4yrs ago

See the defender who taught Vidic Stam and Maldini

Griffon:
Domination includes winning laurels, so it's TH14 for me. He was more complete. Big-game player, bagged numerous individual honours and team laurels. Ruud's one great season doesn't really change a thing about TH's dominance of the English game.

Blackburn racked up too many debts in the 2000s, that they had to slash down wages and sold some of their best players. They were above relegation waters in 2010 with a wage bill of 81% of their turnover and over 20million in debt.

Shits got more real when the shareholders sold their shares to an Indian chicken company who were run by the venkys, they had promised to clear Rovers' accrued debts. The venkys brought in Anderson to advice them on how to run the company and this was just the beginning of the fall.

First, they had to sack Allardyce for buying players who weren't represented by their agent Anderson. After which, they promoted a rookie coach who was represented by their agent, who between them bought couple of players who were largely represented by their agent. It'd turn out that one of those stupid players was the son of the agent himself. He hardly played, just sitting on a fat wage.

They got relegated, and with no TV money to hold unto, they sunk deeper in debts.

Moral of the short story: Stay away from debts and Anderson, lest you'll be like Blackburn.

Jodera2:
It's you guys that seems not to be getting us.

When you or we talk about building a team, we talk about signing players FOR THE FIRST TEAM right?
Why is everyone silent about tavarez and lokonga deals but raised eye brow for White's deal? Cos those two are back ups while white is for the first team.

No coach build their team on back ups rather you deepen your squad depth with them.

I know you're saying that if we didn't sign Gabriel we might be short in defence(maybe unless we include mustafi and sokratis) but what most of us are saying is that even without Gabriel, we would still have fared well cos we have more than capable defenders better than mustafi and sokratis and we wouldn't still have used mustafi and sokratis. So while he's a good signing, he's not a priority. Same way White deal is.

I know you're not pro-defence, but it's just that I feel you're not getting were we're coming from and I do know were you're coming from.

Jodera2:
Now for klopp own

Klopp change of his present defence is just grace or providence. In essence, aside Van dijk(his big signing), klopp stumbled upon the others.

Before klopp was manager, Liverpool had Lovren, sakho, clyne and Moreno. Now that was the 4 backline klopp met. He was okay with that reason why he went for mane(his big signing)
Matip was free at shalke so he was brought in to bring competition and backups(especially since they've lost toure and skrtel). It's not as if he was a necessary signing, just a good free signing Liverpool capitalized on to bolster their cb positions(we know that through his wages even tho he came for free as he was more of an average to above average defender)

Clyne was their Go to man at Rb. Infact he was so good that Liverpool was contended with him(just as how we're contented with Tierney). What brought Arnold to limelight was the cruciate injury clyne had. Mind you, Arnold wasnt a Rb at academy but a midfielder at academy. He was drafted in for clyne cos of the injury (same way we did Amn too). Arnold gave great performances that Liverpool and fans forgot who clyne was. After his long absence, clyne came back and he wasn't the clyne as before as he started producing underwhelming performances, so with that, Arnold took over

Moreno also was their go to first choice at left back without a suitable back up. If he normally goes to injury, sakho a cb will cover up for him. Since Moreno didn't have any back up and sakho filling in for him is shaky there, it was wise to get a young Lb. And there comes Robertson who Liverpool bought for cheap as a back up to Moreno from relegated Hull city. When Moreno had injury and Robertson filled in for him, the clyne-arnold situation played out.

So that's how Liverpool defence came about. All these while these was happening, klopp was busy buying big players like salah, mane, wijnaldum with high price oo.

Once that attack clicks and he needed defence, then he bought van dijk who was what he really needed and wanted

Note, the defence of Arnold, lovren matip and Robertson was still conceding goals like water until van dijk showed up and shored up things


As for man city, I've already explained that in my latter post to spy

iamoyindamola:
Bros mustafi wasn't with us last season, how many EPL matches did Gabriel play last season.
This is the person you claimed was the priority

sod09:
Can't we release mustafi ffs

iamoyindamola:
To start with, how many EPL matches Gabriel played last season

thorrvik55:
Rudiger at 27 needs an experienced partner to teach him the very basics of defending?? Very funny something...

It's just like Arsenal fans saying they need a top CB to be paired with Mustafi for his comical defending to stop when everyone knows Mustafi would still make his normal mistakes even if he is paired with prime Baresi..

Jodera:
Mehn bro. First of all I'll say you missed o. Lol.
It was a great game, our boys showed resilience in defence and midfield. Esp what Arteta spoke to those boys at half time did the trick.
Mustafi was really mustafi first half and his stupid under hit pass to Leno was picked up by Abraham, which resulted to luiz making a rash tackle on him and subsequently got a red.
Second half, we really tried o. Special shout out to martinelli who ran from our post to score a solo goal(you need to watch the goal).
All in all, everyone tried. Tho like I always say, Pepe and lacazette needs to improve our attacking play.
That's the few I fit talk o

sod09:
Can't we release mustafi ffs

kokanepyramid:
Mustafi happens

sod09:
I wish mustafi more of the same performance like the one he had yesterday so he can have his dream move to burnthisleaguedown preferably Bayern.
Amen somebody

sod09:
Monitoring spirit have sighted mhkitaryan in Rome, them Dan they go one by one .
Can mustafi be fortunate to find a club

sod09:
The guy is full of energy, someone said he's not playing the arsenal way I told him we should be happy cos that makes him unpredictable especially when opponents have no idea he will shoot or pass

In other news,
Mhki is going to Roma on loan with an option to buy, while mustafi helper might be here after all juventus are considering him after de darkness is having a shaky start.
Can these 2 happen and we can get decent replacements in January

sod09:
finally your MCM will gedifok out
I just they pity the next unfortunate club to buy mustafi

sod09:
Auba, xhaka,mustafi and mhki have all removed arsenal FC from their bios good riddance to bad nonsense.
If they can all generate 150m they should all fvck off.
Useless waste pipes, I hope ozil join body with them

iamoyindamola:
That season midfield was the priority, we explain alot that no matter how strong your attack or defence is midfield will be the connection and your lifesaver.
To score was easy cos auba was in a terrific form he doesn't even need provider to score alot of goals
Arsenal keeper won the golden glove with mertersacker and Kos that should tell you midfield of coq and carzola were the key
If you can't get pass the midfield tell me how you will get to defense
Lfc title winning seasons is another example, vvd was getting the praise but the 3 holding midfielders will press the living shít out of any team.
Same with city, the truth is we have accepted it like that but bringing Gabriel purchase again to justify we needing defenders is false

daveP:
Roma thanks but no thanks.


Meanwhile, third kit is the best out of all 3.

iamoyindamola:
Not relief yet
Abraham want to stay in London
If not Atlanta offered better deal than roma

iamoyindamola:
The fans are asking questions, he hardly features in preseason how did he get injury when clubs are showing interest
The coincidence is somehow
