We have only one DM, that's Jorginho and Chelsea want to sell him without replacement.

Smh!!

FirstbornWds:
Nwoke Obioma... It's 2023, it's time to move on from senseless takes.

The only thing Alonso has over Alba is taking dead balls. For both goals n assists, Alonso will have to die and raise a million times to match Alba.

Trash!!

FirstbornWds:
Both in defense and attack, Alonso no reach

Nkogheri!!

Even Alonso haters will never pick Alba over him when it comes to attack. From set piece to finishing.

lordfalcao:
some of us did not see Enzo first in the world cup.

And the rice I know is not the ideal DM for us

You can't champion Jorginho for years and then think Rice don't have what it takes to be our DM.

Enzo before world Cup indeed....

andrewbaba44:
The only thing alonslow have over alba is scoring freekick

Attack he kill am ,to defend e dust and throway

Having more than 100 career assists as a full back isn’t for everyone

You lie. Alonso is better than Alba when it comes to attacking abilities.

Itsrm:
I seem to like players who offer something we don't already have

It's how I knew Mudryk will be a hit when people were having doubts over his transfer.

As for Gakpo and Co, how many matches dem don play wey you don already label them a scam.

That was the same thing you said when Haaland played against Liverpool.

How market now?

Gakpo and WereyGhost na scam.


Nothing to wait for, absolutely nothing to wait for.

oliverano:
Overall who's better and who will you choose to play for your team long term?

Alba.

Same reason James>> Trent/Cancelo


Overall!!

oliverano:
It's difficult to tell sarcasm on this thread though. But if it was sarcasm, then fair enough.

In this thread, Gotze>>>>>>>>Messi was a serious argument that took days to iron out here. yes, it really was.

There's Harvertz>>>>>Mbape
Alonso>>>>>>>>Alba
Drogba>>>>>>>>Ronaldo(OG)
Conte>>>>>>>>>Pep

So it's difficult to detect sarcasm here, really difficult

Alonso and Alba be like Trent and Wanbisaka.

One is defensively better, while one can attack better. Thou Alba is good with attack too, but can’t be compared to Alonso in that settings.

EmmanuelScott1:
I hate that transfer

The money and the hype is shit.

I hope he performs thou, still not happy we don’t have natural quality DM.

Itsrm:
I also have my reservations but he seems to come up with goals and asissts here and there from the middle of the park. This is something we lack in our current CMs.

Na so Gakpo and WereyGhost use World Cup scam ManU and Liverpool.

lordfalcao:
but we should drop 100M for Declan rice ?

Yea, we should.

We’ve watched him back to back, not 3-5 times in a rigged world cup tournament.

Not moved about Enzo.

3-5 World Cup games shouldn’t warrant the hype.

A big gamble

Lowkey, Mancity sabi make money from players that are useless to them.

This is how it all started.

Something some of us noticed long ago, it took Salah’s cooking for Pep to see it.

Salah acc ended Cancelo’s city career 😋 pic.twitter.com/NfF1HgLz0q

andrewbaba44:
I no really understand pep

Cancelo wey you go keep till season ending at least ,na so baba let sterling zichenko and Jesus join rivals ,Haba

KDB and Halland are next in line.

You no be Messi, you wan grow sense of importance for am? Na craze??

A manager that has made crap players look classy and quality.

andrewbaba44:
Hmmmm

Let’s see sha

He no send any player papa, except Messi.

https://twitter.com/mikekeegan_dm/status/1620079217701490692?s=46&t=k0KKhsyE-YyfTW25ys3wLA

Cancelo is lucky he’s going to a shiity league with zero competition.

He for just cast kpatakpata

andrewbaba44:
After starting almost all games for guardiola then suddenly Rico Lewis come from no where come Dey ahead of you and walker ,you must surely fall out with the manager nah

Bayern just got themselves a beast added to their already quality squad

But pep what are you cooking this time ?

Pep is the system. He’s what you think his players are.

Na wetin dey give am mind.

andrewbaba44:
Everybody na system player under guardiola ,keep deceiving yourself

Every young talented wingers like Rafael leao

There’s a reason they hardly perform outside Pep’s system.

donstan18:
Just like Trent, Cancelo will defensively get exposed one day.

It didn’t take too long...

nateevs:
6 Academy grads in starting 11. Wow! A day for some of us to be proud.

Lewis, go and shine.

Hey Chief! Tried reaching, can I get your mail address.

Segedinho:
Here for Benin

10ltrs goes for 10k

Black market or fuel station?

Oh well! I think we need Lukaku at this point.

Ramos and Thiago Silva comparison??



Gawd abeg oo

raumdeuter:
Chelsea signed 3 CBs yet they are giving a 39yr old an extension. What is the purpose of signing 3 CBs then?


Man City signed Laporte and Dias and they knew it was time to offload Kompany and Otamendi. If Kompany had stayed they would always find reason to use him at the expense of younger ones

Players wont get better when there is an older guy in front of them that you are afraid to move on.
Will KdB be better than Lampard in 2012? Its because of that reasoning that "KdB is not performing better than Lampard today-2013" that made Chelsea throw away the best midfielder in the league.
Was Nketiah and Martinelli better than Aubameyang and Lacazatte when Arsenal sold Aubameyang and Lacazette? Will Arsenal be playing like this if they had stuck to Aubameyang and Lacazette
Was Nacho or Militao better than Ramos when Madrid sold Ramos
Was Gabriel Jesus and Foden better than Aguero and Silva before they were sold?

Point is that it is terrible decision making to have younger players come through and put an older in front of them and keep extending the older player. It puts pressure on the young player and any small mistake the young player makes, as part of development, you quickly bring the older player back which you end up suffering for later. In that situation the young player will simply ask to leave

Minus Central defence is where many teams dont make much changes and prefer stability. How will you get stability when 3 new CBs are battling with a 39yr old starter

Chelsea spent over 150M on 3 CBs yet they are extending a 38yr old. This is not goalkeeping position where you don't move.

How does a 39yr old play a high line. Is it until they start wiping him in the mud before una eye clear

Well as long as Chelsea stay 10th they can even call back John Terry. Na small Terry use old pass Silva

Chelsea hater schooling clueless Chelsea fans who are in jubilation that we’re in contract talks with 82 years old Thiago Silva.

People just mumu. Some were even posting the screenshot as a flex.😭😭😭

raumdeuter:
Chelsea spent heavily on central defenders like Fofana Badiashile CSO yet giving extensions to a 39yr old mediocre always found wanting at key moments

No wonder you are 10th in the league with Thiago Silva a key part of the mess

Big clubs deliberately move on from older players I guess clubs that intend to be midtable and 10th won't do that

Barcelona moved on from Xavi Iniesta Puyol Alves
Bayern moved on from Lahm Boateng Schweinsteiger
City moved on from Kompany Aguero D.Silva Fernandinho
10th placed team na him dem dey package Aubameyang and Thiago Silva for wey top clubs say too old for them

You come dey envy Arsenal for playing a certain way and you can't see the way Arsenal deliberately offloaded Aubameyang when he was their club captain

There’s no way a true fan of Chelsea will read this and not understand the clear point

People love being foolish intentionally.

Fofana should come back abeg.

So he can partner with Badiashile well. That’s how rebuilding should be.

Defending a 40 years old player to be our main starter IN EPL.

Tufiakwa!!

lateefGRDT:
lol.. T. Silva??
Koulibaly you hype is not physically ready for premier league always out of position, he got dropped and we have 2 clean sheets back to back
T. Silva didn't play against man city in the fa cup and we mauled with 4 goals under the guidance of your cso giving away a penalty also
We all know the problem

None of our attackers has scored against the top six this season and you blame t. Silva

The credit for our back to back clean sheet belongs to Badiashile.

Was Silva not playing when our team was getting ripped with 3-4 goals some teams?

Griffon:
You’re typing craps.

Milan wasn’t elite when they had an evergreen Maldini starting for them. Roma wasn’t elite with Totti, Man utd with Giggs, Juventus with Buffon, Javier Zanetti with Inter etc.

These were all players who played and gave their best past their 40th birthdays. What’s your issue with Thiago Silva?

At the moment, there’s no single CB at Chelsea who’s better than the man, until we have someone to fill in the void he’s going to leave, we’ll keep praising him to the high heavens.

Keep praising him while languishing in 10th position.

andrewbaba44:
Bro Thiago Silva is not bad nah

If I am not mistaken you are the only Chelsea fan I have seen bashing him ,on Twitter self na praises everywhere for Thiago Silva ,the real definition of an old man in a young body due to his performance

If not for salary self and one or 2 issues Ramos will still be at Madrid ,even modric might even get a new contract despite the age ,as far as you are still top of your game ,age shouldn’t be the issue

Yet Barcelona didn’t give Alves 6 years more contract for their rebuilding.

lateefGRDT:
bros try dey calm down
Despite being 10th in the table we have conceded only 21 goals, only arsenal Newcastle and man city has conceded less
Can you see the thiago Silva and the defense is the least of our problems right now?!

Least of our problems? He’s the major problem in that defense, that’s why we keep signing defenders in every window.

Name one elite club doing well with 40 years defender as their main starter.

In a season where he’s been seen as our best player, we’re flopping, what does that tell you?
