I am with Tuchel on this. We paid 33million for Kouli, a national team player and an important player for Napoli yet Barcelonia wants to buy Azpi for cheap despite being our captain and Spanish team player.

They are even almost the same age yet Barca wan cheap price. We will not sell for cheap. If Barca really value him, they should cough out 30m. Yes! 30m.

donstan18:
Barcelona did.

Na de same scout Chelsea and Barcelona dey use!?

Loser.

Ibime:
If Kounde comes, he comes. If not, I won't lose sleep. If he goes to Barca, we'll manage Azpi for one more season with Chalobah. Azpi won't have a place in Barca if Kounde goes there

No wahala but there are other options.

Ibime:
Defence was only porous toward the end of the season when we were secure, and only focussing on UCL

Forget yarns, if you want to blow money on defence, it better not be for community defence that you can play decently with any Furo Iyenemi

We are competing for major trophies. Most especially EPL and Champions league. You don't expect us to use academy players to achieve these goals and I agree with you it must not be for one yeye community shield.

We topped the league last season but defensive erros let us down.

I am in support of buying more defenders to replace the lost ones.

donstan18:
With a quality standard defensive midfielder, that defense will be fine.

Na Jorginho’s lack of brute and agility dey worry us for that back. Watch Maguire behind Rice and Philip in England, then watch him behind MacTomi and Fred for ManU, you’ll see the difference.

DM should be prioritized, not one Sevilla fvcktard dragging height with Shaqiri and Valbuena.

At one point, we were on top the league but as soon as Reece and Chilwell were injured, we started shipping in goals and lost dynamic.

Besides, Rudiger and Chris who were part of the defense are no more in the team. Therefore, it's reasonable to add more defenders. Azch and Alonso are likely to be sold this season instead of losing them for free.

It's wise decision though we do agree we need a solid DM. Don't forget we had Saul who could also play in that position but flopped bg time.

It's not easy for a buying club like Chelsea to buy players because they don't come cheap. That's the problem.

Chelsea is interested in De Jong as at today and other players.

400m euros don enter Barcelona purse.

Ibime:
Tuchel done program Chelsea boys to lose sleep over not signing a £55m defender. Thank God sef. Instead of spending money where it counts at DM and in the attack, baba want blow budget on centrebacks

Conte taught me you don't need stars in a 3 man defence. Blowing money there is law of diminishing returns. If Conte could win league with Cahill, Luiz and Azpi, then we have enough. Same Conte turned Dier and Davies into solid performers in same back 3.

Even Tuchel showed that a weakling like Chris would be very fine in a back three. We lost the Rudiger and replaced him with Koulibaly. For Chris loss, we have Colwill. What is there to be blowing budget on centrebacks again. Na Raphinha pain me, not Kounde

When Tuchel could have signed Bissouma and make us calm, he is chasing centrebacks upandan. Na only respect make me no cuss am sha..

Last season our defense was porous hence the need to add quality defenders.

Chelsea are still talking to other clubs in regards to signing players. Just that this Kounde news is more louder due to Barca's fighting to steal him.

Kounde is training alone in Lagos while Chelsea is interested in adding more players including RONALDO BABA.

If true, it's a welcome development. Dude can still score goals with his eyes closed.

BlueAngel444:
and you are sure Kounde no go fvck up

Well, no bi new thing for Chelsea. Hope he comes good.

BlueMann:
Poor from Ampadu - who had a decent game with some impressive distribution - to give away the ball which led to the penalty. Clumsy defending from Chalobah too, arm out like that.

Slow start from Sterling but he picked up and looked dangerous. Mase played some really brilliant passes today. Havertz largely uninvolved but did play one sublime pass for Sterling. Chilwell still very rusty, needs more game time.

Decent outing from Colwill. Sarr, on the other hand, is a danger magnet.

Tbh we looked like sh!t for the most part of the second half. Obviously out best setup would be the defense/midfield of the first half plus the attack of the second.

I said Chalobah is disaster to happen. Hope we get Kounde and more players in the midfield and attack.

Sportsweb:
Todd Boehly should pull off a Roman Abramovich first year. Sign everybody

Exactly! EPL sure be dat.

Chelsea still wants to buy Kimpembe, Antony, Leo and De Jong this season!?

Too much money. If we add these players to our team ehn ........

FirstbornWds:
Cos they need to invest on more than one team.

Make start with one first, perhaps it will ginger Hopp and Red bull owner to spend more.

Fear go grib Bayern.

FirstbornWds:
Na insecurity day worry them. Even with the seeming dominance in their league, they still don't have enough relevance when top teams are being discussed. Now they fear that they might just lose the little regard left of them if competition stirs in the league and they can't measure up.

Menh! That league is boring. If Bayern were good, they should be winning Champions league.

The league needs Arab billionaire to rejuvenate it.

BlaqFaze:
They were in Germany's third division in 2006 before the investments came in, then they played 2nd division for just one season and qualified to Bundesliga in 2008.

Now they're Bundesliga regulars, they seemed to be reserved in their spendings compared to other clubs with wealthy owners e.g Man city, Chelsea.. etc but time will tell and eventually the money would flow, Bayern knows this, that's why Dietmar Hopp is the most hated person in Munich.

Another one of these clubs is Leipzig...this club was founded in 2009!(fvcking 13 years old) and they're already a top 4 team in Bundesliga. It's only a matter of time before they start winning titles (they're the current Pokal champions).

They should be grateful someone like that wants to make their league competitive like EPL.

Anyway, na dem sabi.

BlaqFaze:
Dietmar Hopp is the owner of Hoffenheim... Bayern Munich fans so much hates him that they called him "a son of a wh*re"

https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/11070086/bayern-munich-walk-off-unveil-banner-hoffenheims-owner/&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwjUw7ebmYf5AhWQt6QKHRlkBE0QFXoECAMQGA&usg=AOvVaw3KWpQB884noWvToFyG2lvS

Na wa ooo. It's not as if Hoffenheim is even a title contender. Na just bad belle dey worry Bayern.

BlaqFaze:
because they have wealthy owners

Oh! Okay. I already know about Leipzig owner though.

Thinkam:
Seun was speculating, so was the writer.

The only one that sticks is the one in which he was caught, there's no way Obi would have done so continuously and not have had numerous encounters with Efcc, even governors with direct links with all federal governments from the east that have engaged in corruption have case file in Efcc ( OUK, Theodore, Rochas, even Obiano)

Until the writer, proves the continual withdrawal and not mere statements or speculation its hogwash.

I don't believe Tinubu built Lagos, so I think we should end the comparison there.

Speculating with source to back his claim up and quotes from authorities involved!?

BlaqFaze:
very stupid league with low revenue, lack of competition because Bayern Munich is AFRAID... that's why they're protesting against clubs like Leipzig and Hoffenheim because these clubs will pose serious threat in the future...

Bayern without Bundesliga is just West brom Germany version

Why are they protesting against Leipzig and Hoffenheim?

BlaqFaze:
That guy nor get sense normally, ask am what use has Dayot up-and-coming been to bayern

Dude is misyaning. Me I no dey watch Bayerliga.

So, I wouldn't know about him.

Very predictably league.

raumdeuter:
Yes its their money which they owe us and we collected

Jumping like Kangaroo no dey solve this one. What use has Silva been aside being a cheerleader

What use has Silva been to Chelsea? Is this a joke?

PetroDolla2020:
You call it rivalry? I call it ………. . Just admit it, Nigerians generally hate Ghana and Ghanaians. True or false?

Olodo. Na you love Nigeria. My best friend na Ghanaian. Olodo.

" LaLiga President Javier Tebas to MARCA �️

-
(translated) "Barcelona cannot register Raphinha and Lewandowski to play in the league unless they offload Frenkie de Jong. They also need to sell more players if they wish to make more signings. Transfer money is not an issue for Barcelona this year as they are activating economic levers and selling their TV and Merchandise rights, the problem is their wage structure which breaches LaLiga financial fair play. They have no other option but to sell De Jong if he is refusing to take a pay cut or else they will not be able to register Lewandowski and Raphinha."

Make Chelsea buy am cheap.

Kounde is too short to be a CB in the EPL. Except he is good with his head.

Make dem buy Leo complement the attack.

drisham:
Jules Kounde can be considered a new Chelsea player. 5 year deal plus option for a further season. €50m fee. Now flying to London to complete medical. https:///E2qw8TpYqz

From David ornstein

Very good. Hope he can be a good competitor for Reece.

Next is one or two more attackers. Lb or wing back is also important.

Jodera:
I agree with the bolded but will you be happy if your club signs him now? Would you call that a "pull" if your Chelsea signs him?

Are you saying if I sign Marcelo now, it's called a pull because he's a WC player?

Fyi, I'm not a Barca fan, and while I will always regard Ronaldo a WC player, there's a reason most top clubs are distancing themselves away from him. 5yrs earlier and such a thing would never ever ever ever ever have happened.

So na the same thing with falcao

Which same thing with Falcao? Was Falcao 37 years old when he joined Chelsea?

FirstbornWds:
Most likely a precaution.

Okay

FirstbornWds:
That's very untrue. Besides this one that happened now that lasted 4 weeks, his only out was coronavirus

Okay but why is injury clause in his contract?

Barcelona is yet to officially present their offer.

If truly Kounde has injury issue then it's best Chelsea keeps away from him.

Jodera:
What are you saying?

Did you guys sign him the very next season after he made the FIFA world 11?

3 years after. Dani is a still a wold class player though.

Except Ronaldo is no longer a world class player to you Barca fans.
