lordfalcao:
which Dm has creative in the market, kindly list

May I respectfully forward this to one of our Chelsea forum experts?

@Ibime, kindly oblige.

andrewbaba44:
Even before Rooney stopped ,his body shape was already changing

Read my comment again. Isn't that what I said?

lordfalcao:
mk we sign a DM so we can know wether the lie that it’s DM been the reason we are not creative will be bursted

If we sign a DM that has zero creative thread, that ain't gonna solve the problem.

timbros:
Na Rooney be this?

The thing with sports is this, once you stop and you have the propensity to be fat or big or whatever, its super express way. The "transformation" is somewhat
You basically have to keep your body in the same routine but at a lower intensity to be in "shape"

popizaino:
120m is way too much to pay for a Defensive/centre midfielder. Even for a striker you will think twice before paying such an amount. Boehly and his scouts didn't try for this one at all.

Well I suppose Boeli knows?
My question is does 120milla solve the creative problem?

Ballzproblem2:
Twitter is the home of memes

Good to know.

Just finished The Handmaid's tale Season 5.

Be like na so future amelika go be.

airmark:
Maybe when we stop paying too much for washed and average players.

We lack the patience to allow players develop and this is not just Chelsea, it's a big club syndrome.

This season though is something else. Not sure if it's cos a of new owner, the previous manager or both.

Ballzproblem2:
Enzo Fernandez to Chelsea,not done yet but benfica don they soften their stand

Na that your gif/image/meme dey make me laugh. It's hilarious.

Unbelievable!

Rest in Peace legend.

Rest in Peace Pele.
The football community and entire world will always remember.

airmark:
Chelsea are not a team that pick a young prospect to displace a player earning 300k per week. Even them Mount and James had to go on loans before accidentally bursting into the team. The likes of Hutchinson in Brazil, would have got league experience by now. Endrick no do pass what many of these guys had done and he has played a league season in Brazil.

Using Brazilian league and Chelsea/England situations to evaluate our academy player, won't cut it.

Very well said.
And will this approach from Chelsea ever change?

VIKTO83:
Seems this Russia is a different version of the Russia that I and so many of my friends know.

Enjoy ur stay bro.
Anyways, tolerance is d only antidote to any form of racism and tribalism.

Russia is one big massive place and "Russians" are different from "Russians".
If you know you know.

ceeceeuwa:
How proficient were you in Russian language before your admission process.

You don't need to be proficient in Russian language to gain admission. You will be taught the language once you are admitted.

nateevs:
I am proposing him because in my opinion, he is good enough. All what Bimfo is putting together is highlights. 'He gave the ball away in dangerous positions' is highlighted arguments. How did this happen and in what circumstance?
Everybody gives the ball away. But what did he do after? This is absent from the analysis. Now that's what I want to see from my DM. Imagine what will happen if Jorghinho gave the ball away to Mbappe on the half way line against PSG?

Agreed. I never access a player based on highlights or youtube vids and that's why I'm a little surprised.
The good highlights - like the 50m recovery run has been mentioned 50 times already. Question is what else did he do of note?
We can all (save 1 or 2 people) agree that Jogginhoe is a no no.

nateevs:
The way I see it, Morocco did well at the WC but still had a team with some average (but well drilled) athletes who had tendencies to put their team mates in positions that led to giving the ball away. For me, what Amrabat showed was technique, positional awareness, creative advancement of play, recovery pace and solid defensive awareness. That's what I need from my DM.

100%. I was very impressed with Morocco's performance and it's no fluke they came 4th. With a little bit of self-belief and skill, they might have even gone further. Based on the matches that I watched, yes Amrabaat has got recovery pace, what I am not yet convinced of is as you call it, creative advancement of play. I want to see some finesse in that aspect.

nateevs:
Does the price play a part? Yes it does. Like I say, the focus has always got to be strategic squad building with strength in depth. £100m on Enzo and Jorginho as back up is not strength in depth. It's just stupid spending.

The club is not going to spend £100m on Enzo unless there is something else to it.
Surely there has to be quality DMs, CMs, CDMs out there.
If it is going to be Amrabaat then we need 1 more player. Jogginhoe is not even good for backup. He is good enough if and when we are up by 5 goals which rarely happens so....

But this Haaland na alien o. 20 goals in 14 matches!

How do we stop this guy from scoring against Chelsea?

Ibime:
Let the scouts go and their job having been given introduction at World Cup

The best way to scout a CM/DM is type in "their name vs" in YouTube and watch all their touches in a particular set of matches. This will tell you if they have the required technique. I did this for Amrabat vs Juventus and was satisfied. Following Bimffos set of posts, I will go and review more.

That's how you scout central midfielders as a layman rather than highlight reels which do not identify weaknesses. Using this method is how I saw Bakayoko was a fugazi and a danger to his own team, when everyone was hyping him here. A good central midfielder is summarized by the absence of his weaknesses, both technical, physical and positioning, and watching all actions in a game should give clearer picture.

lol @fugazi but OK I get your point.
My question to you is this - would you sign a player solely based on youtube videos? Really?
I don't want the club to sign a DM who is just run run run (and I'm not saying Amrabaat is like that) but also with a great deal of finesse. That is what we are lacking right now.
imo we need 2 players in that position, not one.

nateevs:
There is necessary spending and then there is just exorbitant insane spending. I am sure we can all come up with 50 reasons why it is 'necessary' to spend £300m on Mbappe but it doesn't mean you do it.

The likes of us were wondering why we spent over £130m on Fofana and Cucu in the summer when we have Levi Cowill, Dujon Sterling and Chalobah that can do a job. See where we are now.

And then you go on a tirade of calling those asking for responsible spending stupid and foolish.

Good player but why is it necessary to spend over £100m on Enzo when there are a ton of options?

I agree with you on this one and I still don't understand how?
What was Tuchel and his crew smoking?

Enzo for $120million? Say what

nateevs:
I echo Ibime's view on this. Though I never followed him before the world cup, you need only 20 mins to know if someone has it or not for midfield play. The guy was a standout technical player, without being a world cup star.

Not sure if you saw this 50m recovery sprint to stop Mbappe against France. That for me was yet another moment that just highlighted his recovery pace and intelligence.

Ibime never followed him, you never did, certainly I did not. Not sure if anyone did.
As per Ibime's theory - never sign a player from the World Cup - James Rodriguez comes to mind.

Amrabaat is energetic, committed and I watched his 50m recovery run- I like that but he also gave the ball away in dangerous areas.

My concern is this - are you guys proposing the club buy this guy because he is on a cheap or because he is good enough. Is he the long term solution or a quick fix?

Forget all those half turns megedefegede Ibime mentioned, strikers have way better half turns, that's how they are sometimes able to beat their markers in tight spaces.

That's life.

indeed.

OhBritannia:
Yes indeed, the movie has been marked never delete in my phone too.
I will send the movie to every young star i meet, from siblings, to cousins to nephews, i just want them to watch and learn.
This is the kind of movie teachers should be recommending for parents to make their young kids watch during weekdays.

Movies like this is what they should be watching.
Movies like King's Richard.
Akelah and the bae.
God is not dead.
Etc.

In the movie, you saw how will Smith made the girls watch a particular movie.
This is the system in which we as community and country should adobt but it's so sad now that in NIGERIA, children of 10 to 15 years old and now singing and watching Asaka, kiss Daniel and co.
It's a shame and fall of parental values.

Concerning America, yes it's true most of the things the black Americans fought for are now going down the drain now and not just black Americans, the whole America have now turned into a mockery by other nations.

When i see America the things that comes to my mind now is oh!!!! How has the mighty fallen.

America now has the worst media on earth, 80% of their big Media are currently full of crap.

They are not the America media we use to know.
Back in the days, CNN was the standard for every news media in the world, CNN was the beacon of light and hope to all humans on earth when it comes to knowing the raw truth but today CNN has been reduced to mockery.

Truer words have never been spoken. I stopped watching CNN more than 10 years ago and I'm 100% certain that I have not missed anything.

The likes of Asake, Kiss etc have their own space and it is same for every generation, it is however the responsibilities of parents, guardians etc to adopt some of King Richard's principles to better the lives of their children.

andrewbaba44:
The guy is a proven seria A player ,he has good from his hellas Verona days ,any team that get him will be lucky

Most said same about our very own CSO!

AnfieldFan:
Are you saying Avatar 1 deserved a best picture award because it earned a lot more than the Hurt Locker?

When you say not exactly as original, are you implying Avatar's plot is somehow more Original than the Hurt Locker, or are you referring to military movies in general?

How is Hurt Locker original? Any different from other military movies?
Avatar on the other hand stands out clearly. You can't argue with the record.

somehow:
Long time FBS

So you're still on NL?

I never left bro save the occasionally break off NL.

Well, I am the Balogun of Russia (if you know, you know) and while OP is mostly telling as it is, he may have overlooked some parts particularly in terms of racism.

Yakutsk is the capital of Sakha Republic and the "Russians" there are "different". They are mainly Yakuts and they make up more than half of the entire population. The rest are Russians, Kyrgz and others. The Yakuts look very asian and you could sometimes get the impression that Russians look down on those from Yakutia.

Think of Yakutsk as Kazan - also another capital city of another Republic. There are at least 20 other republics in Russia and this is why it is the biggest country in the world.

So, in these republics, Racism is less prevalent - or at least it's in a different form and that will explain the OP's point of view. They see foreigners/Africans in a different light. Something "exotic" if you will.

Same goes for teaching English in these Republics - you could say that they are less exposed to say "city" people from St Petersburg, Moscow, Ekaterinburg. In Moscow, almost every foreigner (particularly from Britain) teach English and they have established English schools.
My football team coach and his wife both teach english for a living.

The key to enjoying Russia is learning to speak the language and if you want to catch fun 24/7 - Russia is the place to be.
As we say "Moscow never sleeps".

CEOKmotors:
SIMPle man.

The woman too should be doing all the hustling and provisions.

If the man is the sole breadwinner, then helping out with domestic chores should be optional and his choice to make.

You think say to hustle na beans??

That your gif/mem/pic or whatever it was got me ROFL!
So so true!

Ibime:
Forget Enzo Fernandez deal, sign Amrabat for £25m, use another £25m sign another one. We need two DM, not one

It's only Chelsea that will sign 10 forwards and be managing 0 to 1 DM for the last 10 years, that DM will be getting overworked

Is that based on his world cup performances or have you been following the player before that?
Last I remember, you've always preached against signing players who perform well in the said tournament?

A good win and we moved the ball a bit quicker but some cracks when under pressure. Still a very good way to end the year. I will take that.

Special mention to Mount, I thought he was very effective.

Hope James is OK.

DrDax:
Take it easy.

One might think you have a Visa interview tomorrow morning...
