If you think Chelsea shouldn’t sign a quality striker because of two tapins from Fraudvertz in Euro, then you hate Chelsea.

I can’t wait for a quality striker to be signed.

His fanboiz should respect British players working their a$$ out to take Chelsea to the next level, they should stop discrediting them and hyping German frauds because of price tag.

Havertz is too good to be loaned.
What has he done to prove he’s too good to be loaned? KDB was good, got benched and later sent packing, he became too good, switched to ManCity and Chelsea still won Ucl before and against them.

Nothing will happen if Fraudvertz leave Chelsea.

game reading differs sir, technically, he is good... Like very good. He might not be strong physically, but with time, his game will step up... He's got the magical feet sir
He should be loaned out to develop.

Peeps on this thread, we should all but agree that kai havertz is a game reader... He might be slow, he might not have that stamina, but he is a good lad
He should stop playing football and switch to coaching if he’s job is to read games.

An attacking midfielder signed for 75m+ flopped and you are typing about game reading.

this is too much, that's a starting defender for club and country

Gab marcotti said that hummels is a defender with good defensive qualities but a generally poor defender cheesy
I don’t rate him.

He’s not reliable. He’s starting for Germany because they lack good center backs.

I agree with the bold above



I disagree with this part. Rudiger has pace and energy which neds to be molded

Hummels lacks pace, he gambles a lot trying to stop attacks early and leaves his base open, he never perfected the act of defending as he has always been a liability in defence

When they played the European U21 in 2009, While Boatank and Howedes played Cebtral Defence, Hummels was played in midfield as a DM because he was too "as the spirit leads" in football, You can get away with such in the midfield but in defence where it's about positioning, pace discipline and moving in sync, he always fails.

his lack of pace showed early in his career was why he was shoehorned into defence. He failed to make first team at Bayern when Badstuber was chosen ahead of him and Boateng was bought while Hummels was sent to midtable Dortmund

At Dortmund, he had a traditional defender in Subotic beside him who covered his numerous errors

Bayern fell for it, bought Hummels back and within 3yrs sent him packing

Think about it, Bayern has a German player in their academy, sold him, bought him back and sold him again within 3 seasons. That enough will tell you he is damaged goods

The problem is when you have Hummels as a senior guy making elementary errors, is it Rudiger and Ginter that will be correcting him?
e.g If Ramos is messing up, Is it Militao or Varane tht will be correcting him
We are saying the same thing about Rudiger and the fact he was paired with Hummels who isn’t intelligent and a good leader.

Rudiger has the power and pace, but he’s not experienced and intelligent enough to go solo when his partner is shiit.

We watched Rudiger with Zouma, with Luiz, with Chris and with Hummels. He was shiit with these players because he’s a combat player and it’s difficult to see combat players with good football IQ[Ramos excluded]. They’ll always need experienced players with good football IQ.

Rudiger became good and very influential when Thiago got introduced to that defense, he became good when TT introduced 5 defensive players, if not six[Kante included].

Hummels isn’t the kind of player you can pair with a combat defender because he’s careless and not intelligent, he’s not even the kind of player you can put in front of your keeper because he can trap a ball, turn around and blast his keeper with a powerful shot. He no get sense.

The akpola shoed niqqa ran out of his position, tried to drag Sterling and when he lost him, he just stood at a place forgetting his position is open.


Ahh, see our top defender father lord.
Rudiger became good after the introduction of 3 center backs and Thiago Silva.

A clear sign that he can’t operate alone. He needs an experienced defender to play with.

Dost42:
German defense had brainfarts all tournament.. it was just a matter of when..
Imagine conceding seven goals in 4 games.

Too bad.

Immediately I saw Hummels partnering with Rudiger, I knew they’ll be shiit.

Hummels isn’t the kind of partner Rudiger can excel with, he lacks what Rudiger lack. Composure, leadership and intelligence.

The likes of Puyol, VVD, Thiago, Terry and Kompany are the kind of partners that can make Rudiger look like a world class player, not hummels wey no sabi en left from en right.

You are just trying to look for something to cover your earlier mess of not placing Marcelo among real Madrid world class player cus I dont understand this excuse of defensive liability. If I ask you to show me were and how this defensive liability has cost real Madrid now you will begin stutter. Need I tell you a certain jose Mourinho once preferred a certain contrao without defensive liability than Marcelo and you know how it ended.


Now watch this video and tell me why Sergio Ramos didnt cover for contrao the way he use to do for Marcelogrin grin grin grin when contrao hot dribbled by lahm grin


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnUhehOr1wk
Cover mess from who exactly? You?

I have no business with Contrao. My point remains that Marcelo is a liability to his fellow defenders. We’ve watched him get trashed and countlessly flopped with Brazil shirt because he had no multitasking defender like Ramos to cover his defensive a$$.

Without Ramos, the defensive uselessness of Marcelo and Varane would have shown well for people to see. He’s not a complete left back.

Na to dey do leg over dey cross ball for Benzema and Ronaldo be only work of a left back? cheesy

Alaba remains the most complete left back atleast for the past 10 years. You’ll even be surprised to know that Alaba MIGHT have more goals than him with lesser appearances. cheesy

Fine you will choose Alaba over Marcelo......but pls throw all those other reasons put of the window.
Marcelo na liability, defensively.

Stop acting like you don’t know what I’m saying.

He’s not a complete LB.

Ramos don help and sacrificed for a lot of players for this life, Marcelo inclusive.

What is defensively reliable ?
He’s not defensively good, Ramos and Varane suffered a lot because of his terrible defensive abilities. Marcelo isn’t a balanced LB.

Just like Trent, he’s more offensive, while AWB is more Defensive.


Alves and Alaba are complete/balanced Rb/Lb.

And I’ll choose Alaba over Marcelo.

You used FIFA11 as a reason to dispute what I said about Benzema and I’m asking if David Luiz, Pique, Pogba, Varane and Mbappe are world class players?

Why not answer, let’s start from there.

Then with time, you’ll realize how useless Drogba will be if we should compare him to Benzema. cheesy

Not scoring up to 25 league goals in at least a season for 20 seasons is not a world class feat. Name one world class striker without such feat in 20yrs playing for top teams? It is like calling Valdes, world class just because of trophies won and making a starting lineup consistently for Barca for years.

If Benzema is world class, Varane, Carvajal, Kroos are all world class players.
Do you know I can argue Benzema being better than Drogba and still win you? cheesy
