why did he sign for another club in epl? Disappointed.

Which one be disappointed again? Oga leave my guy make hin go chop abeg. Oba no wan go transfer sey na by force?

hensben:
RCB, LCB, RB and CB. He is a utility player

Luiz is a utility player.

Azpi is a utility player.

Victor moses is another utility player.

Alonso can be a utility player.

Zouma is a utility player

Djoubalablala na utility player.

Please take a look at this present squad, especially the back 3 and tell me how your guy can improve it?

Nihilist:
You made this observation from just one match?

Let me even admit my observation is wrong so we can get to the root of the matter.

Watching him play for the first time which position will you have him play for us?

Ibime:
Ta!

Him mama dey collect diçk outside.

Lol.... I actually mentioned the guy would have done DNA test to confirm. The thing shock me wella

hensben:
moses don't have issues coming from bench so is Alonso when we sign sandro. The only thing moses has on azpi in that RWB is dribbling skills which by the way is more suited except that Moses is average at scoring and square play which azpi do comfortably. Another thing is to have players that don't have problem when glued to the bench and will be happy when call upon like Willian.

Can you please tell me which position is Ur guys best position?

All the best JT.....our legend always

lordfalcao:
I will even prefer azpi in the wing back role whenever we play UCL. He is more of a goal threat from that position than Moses.

Play Azpi in the wing back role and do what with a 6foot plus CB who looses concentration easily or a jittery CB?

We are talking about solidifying our defence you are talking about goal threats. You really need to go see most our matches of last season to realize how important Azpi is to that back 3. No be beans to answer present sir for all our matches.

donjazet:
Established means he is a REGULAR starter for a top team. He has played at highest level of football for about 3 years now. He has played in the Europa league and the champions league within that timeframe so YES, he is an Established center back.

And how on earth do you say an experienced starter for Roma with over 130 apps is not among the top6??

Stop being overly sentimental about this our defense issue. The board is getting it right this time.

How did the board get it right? Did we buy him to be a squad player or to get into the first eleven?

Who will he bench in that backline?

hensben:
he can play azpi position and azpi moved to RWB. Luiz is 30 so is Cahil. Moreover, I think we are still gonna sign van dijk and loan zouma.

Where will you then put moses? I think you are underestimating Azpis role in that back 3.

So you moved Ake out to buy another squad player who you are not even sure which position will be is best una dey try for this NL coaching work.

Nihilist:
You should ask him what Ake has done to earn a price tag of 20m.

If Ake can go for 20m on the back of only 10 matches for Bournemouth, only 8 of which were starts sef, then what is a fair price for a defender who played 40 matches last season including in the Champions League, and is good enough to start and win Confederations Cup final?

Mind you Bournemouth finished in midtable last season, Roma finished 2nd in Serie A.

Mehn I don't understand these complaints.

Where roma or Bournemouth finished is not my headache and thanks for doing a dayo with the Confederate finals. As bad as e be.... I understand sodjes hype is in top gear.

My own headache is simple, who will he bench in that backline? Or which position do you see him performing? Can we confidently say we have addressed the issues in that back three and we have an upgrade which will improve us? If your answer is YES I will rest my case till after the end of the season however if it is NO, why then did we waste how money?

hensben:
Rudiger is Sodje? That guy fit Conte style of play hands down. If conte can use moses and Alonso to win league then what do you expect him to do with rudiger...selling ake for that amount is a good business. We have azpi who is short and you want us to keep Ake in that same CB position, when he's not puyol huh.

Tell me who he will bench in that backline?

Guys I am not against selling youths or senior players to get a better player who will significantly improve the team e.g kante. What I am against is selling kdb to retain oscar or selling pva,bertrAnd and Ake to buy players like Rahman n sodje.

lordfalcao:
van anholt and Bertrand as still typical average English players, if they were at Chelsea they won't improve the team any bit.

How did baba rahman fare?

donjazet:
Baba Diggz, calm down , you can't be using just one game to judge him. That will definitely not be accurate. A final is usually a very nervous affair.

Why don't you look at this Rudiger deal from another perspective, we sold Ake (22 yrs), a POTENTIALLY good defender but totally bereft of experience and maturity for 20 million pounds and then bought Rudiger (24), an ESTABLISHED and EXPERIENCED defender at a TOP European club for 35m, thereby making a net loss of just 15m.
Tell me, in this over bloated transfer window, don't you think it's a very good deal.

In simple terms, we're getting a better defender than Ake for 15m. That's very good business if you ask me.

If we are looking for experience I am sure we can get that anywhere. I definitely don't see him as a significant upgrade to any of the defenders we have on ground at the moment, though I stand to be corrected.

Now the question is, since he is not an upgrade to any of the defenders we have on ground,why buy him at all? What is the special thing that he will be doing as a bench warmer to warrant us wasting away over 15mil?

How can you even call it a good business when the only side(Cahills position) we were clamouring for an upgrade, we got a sodje who Cahill will still bench for years to come? Or you seriously think he will bench Luiz or Azpi? I really didn't see why we sold PVA, Bertrand, loaned out Ake to buy baba Rahman and I am definitely not seeing why Ake was sold for another expensive bench warmer in sodje.

Nihilist:
His Dad is a white German o.

As in white like dusting powder.

That Siera leonan black gene no gree for am o

I am sure the father would have codedly done DNA test.

Nihilist:
Oboi I just found out that Rudiger is mixed race. As in Caucasian papa.

Mehn the black side of his family must be descended from Noob Saibot himself. Their genes no even let one gram of yellow from the oyibo side express for him body. The mama of this boy win the papa flawless victory.

Dammit.

Really....lol

Omo na sodje be that guy ojare. I no understand all this many English for here ontop dude.

How can we even dream of paying 40mil for a defender who is not cool headed enough to make decisions on the ball when he sees the opponent approaching him. Bobo will just shoot ball to role zero or do a sompu (anywhere Belleface).

airmark:
I was speechless, after watching the guy. Why wouldnt dayo and co be hailing boathand, despite spiking the ball and hitting himself on the ground like epileptic patient in front of an iranian last year?.Mou said that someone recommended djilobodji to him as a good player. I suspect the same person is offering this guy to us. Below was the gift he gave eriksen.

[img]http:///media/7-02-2017/nMJobl.gif[/img]

I am pained bruv

bigkesh:
Romeu,Bertrand,Ake,Lukaku......Players that would have easily been very reliable squad players for free

But we prefer expensive bench warmers like Schrrule,Rahman,Salah and co

Selling Ake is painful mehn....Musonda and co should better start submitting transfer requests

Those guys will surely buy brain and take off soon

Where is maziaga biko? That guy cannot be worse than rudiger pls!

airmark:
The most painful thing is, roma is asking for 40m. I dont want to believe this guy is conte's choice. I hope no one is trying to ruin his effort with this average defender.

The most painful thing we are making another baba Rahman mistake. Loan or sell our players to buy rubbish

Ibime:
I.miss the Confed final. I go London go play ball with my old uni team. So the guy been stink like that?

Sodje level bro.

airmark:
He looked like djilobodji to me. No german central defender should come to chelsea pls.

Chaiii Ur head dey dere. E b like say dem be brodas sef. I don't want to see dat guy near SB. What fvckery!!! Sell Ake then go buy another djoubulala2.0?

Chaiii.....dis board will not kill us with useless players. I will manage mangala right now sef

raumdeuter:
Ahh you don finish Rudiger be that. Sodje is the worst footballer to ever play in a world cup for Nigeria. That name still give me nightmares

Sodje ke?

Na the kind nightmare wey rudiger dey give me right now be dat. I won't lie to you Bros. The guy reminds me of a certain djoublajuoblahblah mou got from your league few seasons ago.

pamcode:
Exactly his own type of defending comes from out-muscling the opponent but he has pace sha so he should do well.

I simply don't know who to compare rudiger to.... I have not witnessed a defender of is type in a long time. Maybe a sodje perhaps?

raumdeuter:
diggz who is crazier

Vidal or Ramos

Vidal na mad man tho..... but Ramos wins it for me especially because of d way he chops red cards.

bigkesh:
I am not impressed........ishan defender

Omo .....I no see why we dey sell Ake for this guy

Nihilist:
He has questionable balance in my opinion sha.

I will still take him over Garri though. Worst case scenario, shift Azpi to LCB.

I will take Cahill over him I swear.

Ibime,griffon,bigkesh,nihilist,hensben,raumdeuter and lordfalcao.

Please what's your take on rudiger and how or where do you think he will fit into the present cfc squad?

eddie7:
The Video Assistant Referee spots Jara elbowing Timo Werner and the referee awards him a yellow. Could well have been RED!

Na pure red be dat

Chile looking tamed

Germany looking like they want to ball in this second half
