The deal was worth £500k. This is what is reported as the official figure. Chelsea probably paid another £200k cash to Parents and bought them a house in West London. And then there's promise of more money to come when he signs his first pro contract next year. That's all that's required. He joins Chelsea.

Checked him out yesterday when I heard the news. He's not bad.
He is not bad, what is bad is that, he won't play.

I feel it's not just right to cut the education of lads short by flashing cash in their face. This was exactly the same case with Islam Feruz. Just 16 and he was not bad.

Where is he today? I am pretty sure that boy doesn't even know what Stamford Bridge looks like. It's been from one loan move to another.

We need to work on our prospects and set up a system that ensures their integration into the first team after few years of education with the academy. Until we get that right, let's simply leave these boys in their parents' homes.

What y'all reckon about Riyadh Mahrez this summer. £30m.
Is he an upgrade on Pedro?

The Spaniard's rejuvenation would make it difficult for me and most probably any manager to think about signing a new winger now.

Pedro albeit not too young has the needed vigor, spark, brilliance and experience to help us mount a serious UCL challenge next term and play to defend our EPL title.

What that front three needs now is a badass forward that would take over from Costa.

Sanchez to replace Pedro? Maybe I'll then start nodding yes!'

Sometimes I question the rationale behind certain moves.

Why would Billy Gilmour decide to abandon his education at Rangers to join us? Moreso, why do we even need him when it is glaring clear there are bunch of lads at Cobham who are yet to test first team footie?

I wish him well at Vitesse though.

What are the odds of scoring 3 goals in one game with nutmegs?
Hehehe. Does such even exist?

Guzan needs to ditch those keeper's kits for an agbada. That's one outfit that could help stop those rolling balls.

This thing is not hard

Start Fabregas and you are guaranteed a goal or an assist, even if you start Nateevs, Griffon and Ibime as forwards

When it comes to attacking output he is the best CM in the world and probably the best ever in PL
Ibime has lost that which made him the most lethal forward in London years back - his pace.

Oga nateevs is more of a passenger lately.

Inasmuch as the foot-work and pace are still there, I stopped being a forward at the age of 19. My business is now at the back.

Fabregas' vision would be rendered useless by the three of us cheesy

The man had a brilliant game today no doubt, but then, he had little coming his way from that Boro's midfield.

Just this morning, Daily Mail arrived with an inference that Don Conte has asked the Chelsea board to make Lukaku, the club's main target.

So it's not Morata after all, and his brace last night isn't changing that.

You mean that Slaven Bilic who reportedly only had 2 games to save his job, was concerned about Matic and his mumu dinner?

Matic probably took Slaven to a kebab joint, based on his judgement on the pitch cheesy

Still prior to the game:

'Matic is a wonderful guy, a great player. I will accept that offer with pleasure.'

There you have it, the Croatian was obviously interested in that dinner. Incentive wey make sense is what you get from Matic's Services.

Respect the man cheesy

Prior to West-ham v Spurs game, Matic texted Slaven Bilic, “If you stop Tottenham, I’ll take you out to dinner.”

Yet Nihilist and his boys thinks this dude is a liability. See how he won us the league off the pitch? Class!

Some would find it hard to invest big into an ideal business plan, present them with the chance of staking thousands in bet9ja and they'll gladly jump into it.

There is a difference between real investment and pseudo investment.

diggz:
Conte trying to get morata is just annoying angry sign us any good winger with Costas cash and move hazard centrally or have the 3rotate positions without a point man.

E go pain me die if conte eventually end up buying morata with the ridiculous amount they are quoting for him angry
Hazard would only do fine in that position against weaker folks. He doesn't have what it takes to unshackle an opposition player who's policing him on the pitch. That was made evident vs Herrera and just last week Gueye.

Now imagine what the story would be if a player with a bigger frame is to be doing that policing in a central area where Hazard would have little space to operate?

Hazard vs Shawcross?
Hazard vs Lovren?
Hazard vs Otamendi?
Hazard vs Alderweild?
Hazard vs Koscielny?
Hazard vs Van Dijk?
Hazard vs Williams
Hazard vs Fonte?

Oh Jesus! Diggz are you a sadist?

Ibime:
This is the part that gets me. Everytime you pass him the ball, he has to look at it to trap it, wasting vital time and potentially in danger of being dispossessed. I have never seen a professional footballer that needs to look at the ball when trapping it. My man literally stares at the ball, knowing his ball control is too suspect. Even I stopped looking at the ball from the age of 10.

This dude is hardly better than an amateur footballer technically.
Technically he is just meh. Who do you see us getting in the summer?

That midfield really needs enforcement. I have lost sight on Bazoer, he was one lad I could have gone for but I don't know what's up with him ever since he moved to Wolfsburg.

Teilemans have always been on my lips for ages. Young, ruthless and creative. I believe Anderlecht needs the cash.

Ibime:
Griffon please keep eyes on Bakayoko and tell me what you think.
He was born for the break-up play, has the needed brawn to intimidate any player but the technical aspect of his game is quite suspect.

His ball control is a tad poor, not top class for a pro, he exposes the ball a lot. Then his vision is on the average too.

IMHO, I think his two biggest problems are maintaining composure when placed under pressure and indecision.

Before he receives the ball, he doesn't have his head up. He is always looking at the ball and as result of this, he fails to analyze the field quickly. When the ball eventually gets to him, he is already lost, get two men on him and I'll bet my testicles that he'd lose the ball. That clearly played out in Juve's second goal lastnite.

We don't need this nigga, he is scared of playing football. It's not always about the muscles, being technically adept matters too.

Chelseafan1:
Who would have thought we would score 3 in this match?
I did. Their backline was just there for us to feast on. They were getting no protection from their midfield. All we needed to do was grab our chances.

We squandered two in the first half.
