This Édouard Mendy transfer is developing all sort of k-leg. He has returned to training with Rennes as they are demanding Tomori loan as part of the deal.

And what's difficult in letting Tomori join 'em on loan? Afraid he'll come back as a French speaking CB which in turn will disrupt good communication at the back?

I've always wanted a Ligue I move for the young lad, and this is a great chance for us. I've been following the French Ligue I for some years now and I can authoritatively tell you that that league is Europe's real talent hotbed. If I were to send a young player out on loan, to have him equipped for the big stage, the Ligue I is my go-to league.

This is a league where the least rated club have an organized psychological wellness programme that offers yoga sessions, hypnotherapy and access to mental preparation coaches for players. You'll find clubs with grounds where technical dexterity and individual expression are allowed to flourish.

I rate Tomori very highly and I believe a move to Rennes will improve him massively. That boy kicks the leather much better than Rudiger and Zouma, while being much stronger than Christensen. He just need a little mental lift to become that ideal player for us.

Griffon help this brother abeg.

So that you can focus on tweaking your team? Alaye

nihilistjnr:
Meanwhile, I see Adolphus wan start again for that side...

Bruh, I see you.

timbros:
My first ever GW in FPL, 51 points.

Ibime what sayeth thou?

What happened to your whole funds? Don't go thinking you'll be allowed to withdraw some of them here in Nigeria.

Go get one or two premium signings bro.

timbros:
Are you sure "Costa" will play normal? Won't he flop?

Of course, your instincts are usually correct

Instincts bawo. Albert Einstein of Institute FC. That niggur is lame fa. Ask am which Costa. Douglas Costa or Diego Costa wey don leave?

CapitalCee:
I was so sure he will flop. My instinct are ussually correct, it fails me only very few times. Ziyech and werner will be very good. Costa and chilwell will play normal. Kai will flop. Kepa will be forgotten soon.

Get this now my guy. Anytime you see supporters making excuses for any player, saying he is played out of position, the system dint suit him, give him time. Walahi that player na otu. The player I saw today is clearly out of his depth. They want to divert attention to RLC. Like we wont notice

And since you've noticed what is the worst you can do? Bark from the other end with your device in your hands?

Did someone slip a Viagra in Werner's water bottle?

TeflonBlixx:
we're still playing shit sha.

Playing shit against one of the best defensive sides in the division and still winning by two goals margin, that's what you call character niggur.

It hasn't been entirely our day, but I'll take this home.

Bring in Odoi for RLC already. I want to see Kai in that central position.

Ibime:
Congratulations on your performance against Fulham Sir.

Two assists, man couldn't have asked for more

19 pages of jealousy-ridden pages. I wonder why anyone thinks net-spend is a "convenient excuse". Chelsea has transitioned from a club that spent Russian money frivolously, to a well-run club. The club relies heavily on annual sales to fund transfers and that equals net-spend.

One of the many business strategies that Chelsea employs is the strategic scouting of fringe players. These players may or may not make it. These are the likes Lucas Piazon, Pasalic, Papy Djilobodji, Matt Miazga, Michael Hector, Keneth Omeruo, Danilo Pantic, Baba Rahman, to name a few. Recently, the likes of Malang Sarr and Xavier Mbuyamba have been picked up on a free.

Hector, Pasalic, Djilobodji are examples of players who have recently been sold on for more money than were purchased for, whilst all the time, their loan fees cover initial transfer value.

Their sell-on fee don't hit the news because they are not high profile. But £8m here, £6m there, £10m there all add up. Why would anyone think this does not matter?

You don't expect these dundees to understand your point, do you?

It's not worth it man.

donjazet:
Well, let's see what happens.

BTW, how do you hope to bypass the Manchester players conundrum? Will you buy and keep them on the bench or will you select without them and use your WC early?

We all need the first week points, just avoid them with Citeh premium signings, then use the WC on GW2 and 3.

How would you be wanting a 2015 car when you have the 2020 "Belgium" available?

The 2020 model isn't in my garage anymore and doesn't dorn my ten anymore. Why should I be concerned about him?

I need a cruise ride of my no10 2015's performance, kini big deal.

elrony:
Careful what you wish for bro, Madrid are biting their nails right now in sifia pains

Hehehe. I'm talking about 2015 bro. PFA and Premier League player of the season.

Pulisic has been handed the no10 jersey.

Give them some Hazard-esque shits next season boy!

donjazet:
I think you are underestimating Leeds. They just might surprise people.

Dominating possession in the Championship is an entirely different ball-game to replicating that in the Premier League. It's the only reason they kept out teams at the lower tier.

Liverpool will cease possession and expose their backline.

pamcode:
In that order?

Sure.

The only tweak I could make right there is Salah leapfrogging TAA. I expect a goal fest against Leeds with a clean sheet for the Kops. You'll naturally expect both TAA and Salah to be heavily involved in those goals.

donjazet:
Griffon, Pamcode, who are your primary captain choices for this gw1?

Option A: TAA
Option B: Salah
Option C: Kane
Option D: Auba.

Ibime:
That midfield has destroyer, runner, passer and goalscorer. Aimes Jacquet would love such midfield. Ancelotti completed his midfield for the same price as Havertz

Say no more. Na Deschamp et al arrangement be that. They're only short in attack right now.

Allan, Doucoure, and Hames in one midfield?

I'm not saying they're going to win the league, but Everton look poised to inflict damage on teams.

Wow So na papa and son get Udinese and Watford respectively?

Never knew they were sister clubs.

13 touches in 48 minutes? Was he stranded?

How about a Kante Rice pivot?

You don't forget the face of the person who was your last hope

BlueAngel444:
how about we used a standard site rating to adjudge the players. A site like who scored that isn't bais

We'll still be suggesting the same thing. At the end of the day, our judgement will be influenced by how consistent the player kept scoring, assisting etc which all come in the form of stats.

No standard site uses a metric like how many UCL or World Cup won to adjudge who's a top player, we only see that on Nairaland.

MercylessMercy:
What is the standard metrics of judging and rating players this new season. Is it goal scored, or assist or performance on the big the stage, or only ucl performance?

Pls let's have this discussion now.

E get why.

Are we rating number of pk scored?

The standard metric to adjudge a player has always been consistency. Consistency in goal scoring, assists and overall performance.

I cringe when I read craps like "He isn't a top player b'cos he doesn't perform in big games". That criterion alone doesn't make one a top player, rather how consistent they've been with other metrics I.e goals, assists etc.

Fabregas is among the best midfielders in the world, however, he loses his guile at the most crucial part of the season. February-June is the festive period of the Champions League; the knock-outs. And he almost always fails to deliver when it is needed the most. Should we now say he's a fraud cos of that alone?

Ibrahimovic has won almost everything there is to win at club level – except for the holiest trophies of them all: the Champions League. Should we now adjudge him by that failure?

Don't read those craps Dayo and some scummies post about UCL this, World Cup that. The only metric that count most is CONSISTENCY. Let's stick to that.

ennyjay72:
Kai havertz is 8.5m on fpl

I'll need to know where Lampard will be playing him before i make the move, I'm really tempted to but I may just have to wait till GW2.

Ibunkun1:
Geez!

Solid unit. Les Blues are in safe hands.

donjazet:
Una just dey full the thread with rubbish. Na so so rubbish person just dey read since.

So trite mehn. You'll think this is some sort of SS3 WhatsApp Group. There are levels to trolling, what these scumbags are doing is just unimaginative, clichéd and irritating.

Varane, Upacameno and Kimpempe in a back three. Heaven!

England are down to ten men. TAA on for Sancho.

Who're these kids that can't even punctuate?
