Conte is seriously denying us.

Didn't see the game, been travelling all day!

iykmora:
pato is not owned by cfc

Na true sef. Where the hell is Loic Remy by the way?

Finally, we are after Kante's signature.

Ibime:
Zlatan wants to come to London. Get him!

Man I wont mind dealing Pato + £20m for Ibra.

I've got a question, is it really necessary to have directors of football?

A pal of mine who is a fellow blue was writing on his blog and he had this to say:

"For me, splitting personnel and playing is downright weird; can there really be a strict line btw what a coach/manager and a GM/director of footballer does? After all, by far the biggest part of the team is the players, players who will carry out a manager's vision.

Surely that manager knows who those players need to be? By the time you become a manager, you've been living, breathing and sleeping football talent for decades."

So why do we need the Emenalos and Sabatini of these world? Shouldn't Conte be in charge of our signings?

Cc: Nateevs, Nihilist, FBS, et al your views are needed.

AdeLaNa1:
None of Depay or Rooney were named the best player in EPL 10 months ago. He's supposed to be the best player in the league but even Zouma has more league goals than him

What nonsense is this? Rooney is the highest paid footballer in the country and Depay arrived with much hype, why can't we compare their stats? If the two can't outscore a defender and a mediocre of a defensive midfielder, then I wonder why you're hell-bent on dragging Hazard's name to the mud.

Moreover, Hazard was voted the best player in the country last season by the virtue of what he did last season not this season, so what are you on about?

SmoothCruiz:
Let me start with this:

If you're a gold-digging oppurtunistic leech, don't date a Nigerian man. We will find you out. It's not a one-off that an 18-year-old Nigerian boy can con a 56-year-old British professor. WE ARE WORLD-FAMOUS FOR BEING SMART.

Of course, the thieving Nigerian girls wouldn't want smart Nigerian men. We'd screw you girls and pass you on to our friends when we discover you're unfaithful.

Who wants a woman who's always at the receiving end of favours? Nigerian women always beg for favours!

When was the last time you visited your boyfriend, do his laundry then prepare him a meal with YOUR OWN MONEY? You can't remember? I thought as much.

How many girls on this thread bought the phones they're using with their OWN money? The fake wigs? The eyelashes? Heck! You even beg to purchase sanitary pads.


The average Chinese and American girl starts getting wages for job done from age 13. She babysits, runs errands, sort out groceries... Anything.

Nigerian girls? They sit on their lazy, buttpadded behinds!

The average Nigerian girl fantasizes about Marriage from age 16. No, it's not because she's romantic or homely. It's because she wants a man who'd take care of her financial needs while she brings only her unshaved _vagina to the table.


Oops! Bad for them, my Nigerian brothers are getting wiser.

Until you girls learn to be homely, loving and stoic like our mothers past, we'd continue to play and prey on you.

You guessed right- IT'S A MAN'S WORLD.


Cry us a river!

Murder was the case. I hope that biatch doesn't ponder suicide.

Good one homie.

These lot only 'seized' chances, and believe me, such chances doesn't come around always.

Nothing beats working on a worthy idea. Knowing where you are driving to and giving it your very best shots.

The best you can do with your money is to invest it wisely.

A defence is only as strong as its weakest link, and Baba Rahman is that link.

Could it be that the nervy Ghanaian only played on Saturday v Stoke cos confidence-to-the-point-of-arrogance Kenedy was injured? I hope the Brazilian stays fit for tomorrow's clash, the lad would definitely help us keep a good defensive shape.

sleekdot:
Iniesta plays as a CM, Hazard plays as a Lwinger
Iniesta has 3 strikers ahead of him and isnt responsible for scoring
Iniesta has been MOTM in a CL final, In a World cup final, In a Euro final
Tell us about Azadus

The Central midfield is not just a position but an area of the pitch. When you tag Iniesta a CM, be sure to tell if he's operating as a DM, a box-to-box midfielder or an AM.

That said, on paper Iniesta is unproductive but every seasoned footie pundit knows that is hardly true.

The ninja is more of an orchestra conductor - engine room, one shouldn't expect him to be posting figures anyhow.

Ibime:
When Fabregas went to Barca, did he go there and claim Barca already have 3 scorers so he will not score or assist?

No! He simply went there and scored 15, 14 and 13 goals in consecutive seasons with 12 assists or more per season.

Yet one clown is trying to convince us Iniesta is a defensive midfielder. Are Xavi and Busquets carrying water behind him? GTFOH!

Sentiment is for suckers and Dayokanu isn't far from it. Niggi would say about anything to discredit you and stand clean, that has been him for the last five years.

Like the old saying goes "Wolves lose their teeth but not their nature". Raumdeuter and Sleekdot can't just better Dayokanu - the original cretino version

Word is that the allegedly incoming Chelsea manager Conte will be handed a £130 million war-chest upon his arrival in SW6.

How true folks?

According to Corriere dello Sport, Abramovich has told the Blues squad that Conte will definitely be in charge from next season.

The Russian is said to have held a team meeting at the club's training ground in Cobham during which he made the announcement.

Ramuzaki?

Hehehe. Arabic innit?

It has to be said though, a 3-5-2 would hardly accommodate folks like Hazard, Terry, Pedro, Cahill, Mikel, and Rahman Baba, so from an angle, a major overhaul could be on the cards.

At the back, the centre-backs don't have the constant reference point so they have to be a very well-drilled unit, combining qualities likes strength in the air, good tackling, mobility and confidence. A limited defender like Cahill who simply tackle and clear would be in danger of becoming redundant if Conte arrives unless the Englishman decides to change his game overnight.

My ideal combo would be: Ivanovic - Zouma - Aymeric Laporte

The wing-backs will have to move up field to support the midfield and be involved in the build-up when we're with the ball and would have to spring back to support the defence when we're without the ball, so. . .

My ideal combo would be: Cesar at the right, Willian at the left (Yes Willian!)

My three-man central midfield which will line up in a variant of a triangle would be a mix of vision, power and cohesion.

My ideal combo in that case would be: a rejuvenated Matic or Naingollan - Fabregas - Koke or Vidal (Dayokanu die).

The two net busters?

My ideal combo would be Costa - Harry Kane (Get Levy drunk and break the bank for the English lad I say).

Except that I'm not Conte and there's no chance of me getting a call from Roman Abramovich.

hensben:
I like conte's tactical football(what Italian coaches are good at) but his formation(3-5-2) is my worries. That formation can only work in Seria A due to their general slow pace with the ball unlike in epl.

A formation would work in any league if only executed well. Would you claim that European football was slow paced when LvG won the Champions League with Ajax in 1995 using the 3-4-3 formation? Or that the 2014 WC was slow paced when he LVG finished 3rd with Netherlands using the 3-man defence line?

It wasn't about the league or competition, it was about the tools at LvG's disposal and how effective they responded to instructions.

Van Gaal may not have helped himself at times during his early days at manyoo, but it was a tough gig. And if you want a measure of how tough it was, you need to take a closer look at the mediocrity that resides in that manyoo's team.

Conte can come along with his 3-5-2 if he cares. It's a formation that places a lot of emphasis on space; maximising your own and restricting that of your opponent, and I believe with the acquisition of a weed-smoking defensive midfielder we can do just fine in it.

According to reports, LvG is seriously demanding a 'horn¥' display from his lads. Now that got me wondering, are the fans supposed to get in the mood and come along with dildOs and condoms?

Candreva and Vidal rumoured to be Conte's potential signings if he seals his move to SW6.

Bring them on I say.

Pataki:
When you openly indirectly stated that you don't engage your brain creatively before posting, I thought you must have typed that under the inducement of ogogoro. Let me task your brain further: What is the meaning of ''your neighborhood olosho mama used''? Is it the numerous cyber blows from thread to thread you have been receiving since Friday, that has dis-orientated you so bad?

It is actually meaningless asking you how does bleaching cream corrode the brain, since you have indirectly admitted yourself, you don't even engage your brain creatively before posting on this board.

Let us be realistic here. A heavy blow to the head certainly moves the brain, go ask any neurologist you know, and when the brain hits the inside of the skull, damage occurs.

So imagine 40 getting repeatedly hit in the head very hard, the net effect is dementia. But I strongly believe he is nowhere near that ish, he isn't, he is a strong dude.

Your reason is damn weak.

Vivalavida99:
Pls someone should enlighten me about Patrick van Aanholt, is he still a Chelsea player loaned to Sunderland or has he been sold outrightly?

The guy seems to be playing so well for Sunderland, if he is still a blue, would love the management to recall him for next season to fight for a place in the squad.

Lad has been sold and shipped out.
