Baba Rahman did not get enough time. He played around 14 games in piecemeal minutes all last season. This is a young player moving to a new league, and struggling for minutes. I've always said that the loan system is good for development and this Schalke loan looks good for him.

Bertrand is useless abeg. Stop calling that guy's name. Bertarand was competing with a right back his own age and still couldn't cut it.

I never once suggested that Baba was ready to displace Azpi. My own has been Baba is better than Ake, and that's patently obvious.

I like the way you call Bertrand useless but, ever willing to accommodate a glorified otondo like baba. One useless expensive shyyte of a player who can't even do his primary duty to save face.

How has baba been better than Ake....? Lol...bro you kinda funny sha! Once you have your mind made up there's no changing it.

Please, try look into useless Bertrand time with us at 22 and tell us if we deserved to be punished with bad signings like baba.

afrodoc2:
Chelsea is not making any bank balance gains from Rahman, he is going to be sold at a loss. All he has done is dog-in-a-mangerly block the growth of the Chelsea youth. Ake is miles better at left back despite Ake himself preferring Central Midfield.
It makes no sense to sign mediocre mercenaries for millions and not play your youth team players who are even better and have real potential for improvement.....if you are waiting for this "22 year old" Ghanaman to get better as he approaches his "peak" you are on a long thing.

Thank you for this post.

Nihilist:
Young players develop with game time. Baba is only 22. He needed game time to adapt to the EPL, and he didn't get enough.

Baba has now been loaned to a European regular, that has finished finished in top 4 positions 3 times over the last 4 seasons.

If Baba can cement a first team role at Schalke, then this could be very good for his development, which would be very good for us...either on the pitch or on the bank balance

Bruv, baba got enough playing time and chance to show the world how Uber useless he was defending and clueless attacking....

I don't know why you want us to be patient with someone who is 23years old? Do you have any reason for this, asides him still being young?

I hope you remember Bertrand was about his age when he featured in our UCL victory in the finals against Bayern? Plus judging from the little I have seen of Bertrand , he was a better defender than baba at this age.

I sincerely do not have a single iota of hope/faith in baba. Even if he turns 19years old in 2years time,I will still pick taiwo taiwo ahead of him.

Baba couldn't hold his own... What a gigantic waste of money! Keeping faith in some of this youth guys should be the way forward especially when we are not 100% sure if the quality we are getting is better than what we already have.

^°° Costa staying won't be bad only if he chooses to play soccer and not fight.

Ibime:
I hope Inters enquiry about Oscar is followed up with an official bid. . . that nigga need to GTFOH.

Chelsea apparently seeking £30m.

Asked if Oscar has a future at Chelsea, Conte said: “All 29 players are Chelsea’s players at the moment. After this period I speak with my club.

“I agree after this tour to see all the players and then to take a decision. When we finish this period I will take the right decision for the player and for the club.

“There are players who will stay and others will go. This is football. It is important to be clear with all.

Oscar is so useless! Even China no free bid for am..

I hope obi will join him to free useful space in the team

Ibime:
Baba Rahman signs on loan at Schalke. . . . better than Ake. . . yet we're now looking for a leftback.

What a way to start the week....Very exciting news

I am glad the fraudulent Ghanian is almost out... I only wish for Mikel n Oscar to fvck off....asap.......

lordfalcao:

Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis says the club cannot compete with their Premier League rivals over transfer fees because they "can't afford to make huge mistakes".

Thank God stones is heading somewhere else...

Nihilist:
Except Torres in his prime actually knew where the net was.

Morata is actually a white Welbeck without a fancy haircut.

Welbeck is even better in my opinion...

Dongorgon5:
Everton vs westham(last season),lukaku stupidity cost his team 3 points in that match, Wasted many chance, missed another penalty.He also missed another one against man utd in fa cup semifinal. Another one against neuer too.
He is not even a big game player like Drogba.
I like the way morata play his football,his movement,dribbling technique,close control,hold-up play,ability to play from the wings.
Morata is like torres in his prime,morata in his prime will be unstopable.

Noted you are pro-morata. So I will be adding your vote to moratas.

Just so you know, Torres could score goals while morata can't! So I guess that is one reason nateevs said morata wasn't a player.

Anyways, we can only hope whoever the club gets to sign scores plenty of goals for us.

timbros:
Again don't compare keepers and outfield players.

Cech never made ANY professional appearance as a striker. He has always been a goalkeeper.

Outfield players can interchange wings before a game ends, goalkeepers can't do that.

There is no way Chelsea can give Courtois number 9 jersey to play as a striker, no matter the emergency. But we have seen Azpi play LB for years now even though he is a RB. Essien played virtually all the wings in Chelsea before he left. How many goalkeepers does that.

From open play, strikers can fall back and make touchline clearances to save a goal. How many keepers from open play join attack to score a goal?

I am right to compare Sturridge and Lukaku because both of them are strikers who played part time winger in Chelsea. Every player is unique so don't expect everyone to have the same body build.

When Mal[b]ouda-Drogba-Anelka was scoring for fun in Chelsea, did Anelka stand in the 18 yard box with Drogba because he was a striker too? Wasn't he drifting in from the wing to score? Why must Lukaku's case be different? Drogba with his wrestler body build, don't he drift to wing sometimes receive ball and score?[/b]

This your line of argument is really sounding funny! There is a clear difference btw sticking a player to the flank and asking a player to interchange positions from time to time.

Please,why didn't the coach stick drogba to the flank while anelka played upfront?

I saw were ibime compared lukaku to drogba,lewandoski,yekini and not anelka,henry,Suarez Or DS. That alone should have settled this unnecessary argument Bros!

Lastly, I am shocked you are taking nihilist example of playing courtious as a striker serious! Bros, Nihilist just dey use indirect way to tell you say na dust u dey yan.....

Nihilist:
Oscar aint going nowhere. I doubt that Mikel is too.

Mikel isnt even interested in first team football - he just wants a nice pillow for his spot on the bench. Conte sees an experienced pro happy to play backup rather than an untested youth so he's probably happy too.

The only person who isnt pleased with this arrangement knows himself

Oscar is one very useless Brazilian though! Even juv don see the light too!

They should give them the maloudas treatment abeg....mk them find another club go pls

Wahala dey o!!!

Please can anyone provide us updates on Oscar and Mikel sale....?

Odunharry:
Yeah.. You arw good to go

Thanks boss!

Odunharry:
Download Modbro or Sportstv or world sport stream(wss) or syblatv.

I will recommend the first two though .

Just that and I good to go, yea?

timbros:
But he still got his chances. He should have grabbed those chances with his two hands and feet.

N.B: He never played with Eto'o in Chelsea.

Was it not same season eto came in, he left? Didn't say he played with eto in Chelsea bro.

How many minutes did he even play in those 10matches Bros? Hv u even bothered checking?

I am very sure he was getting introduced like 5mins before the end of each game in bulk of the matches to play from the flank. ......So we should now cruxify him for not scoring,right? Bros be fair please!

Spy360

Which of the gods you offend? This one wet everybody dey after you so....

timbros:
This same Costa you guys are dissing is the same guy who scored 7 goals in his first 4 Chelsea game (a EPL record), his 20 goals help gave us the title, his goal in the League Cup final help gave us a domestic double.

Please let him fight and wrestle all he want but keep on banging goals for us.

Wait, does Lukaku need to be played as no. 9 first before he register a goal for us? How many matches did Sturridge play as number 9 for us? Did he draw a blank like Lukaku?

Lukaku doesn't need competition. He wants to be in a club where he is the main man. If not, he will fight for his place in Chelsea even if he was played as a DM!

Please be fair to him at least he stuck around till it was clear he will need to move on.

I mean how do u expect him to remain on the bench when we had fernandud, legend drogba, and eto being placed to start ahead of him? Staying back would have been very phooolish of him!

This many guys dey all out to Fvck Dstv up...

Abeg make una shaaare the info proper biko.....

Ibime:
Those looking for 4-4-2 forward should also consider Jese Rodriguez

Madrid guy right? He started as a winger but can also play as a striker too. I like that guy o! I no go mind am at all.

Bimffo:
I will choose anything over Lukaku. Even if its Ibime or Dayo.

I still prefer those 2 as my strikers.

Anything but Lukaku.

Lol bimfo u son mara.....

@ timbros...

I got you quite clearly but didn't agree to your point because we are looking at the best striker who can easily fit into CFC kind of footie and not barca, Madrid or juventus.

Though I take it you prefer morata to lukaku while nateevs categorically called morata not a striker.

Anyways from what I can see sofar, lukaku most likely will be the preferred striker by most fans including my humble self. He may not have all the attributes of a complete striker, though not my favourite yet, based on the options on ground, I will pick him ahead of the rest.

Tx guys for all ur inputs.
