He was surplus to requirement, so, we never cared where he wanted to move to.
Which still contradicts your postulation that you don't sell to blah blah blah.

@emboldened, the thunder wey go strike that stadium wey them never build just go register for gym house.cheesycheesycheesy

Of course we have some financial issues. But then, it wouldn't come to that as we have other means of generating income. We have our shirt sponsorship deal on the pipeline. The reason we are yet to get money from that end is because we are negotiating for a better deal (like the Man Utd deal). There was an agreement before, but Barça are trying to up it to get tue best deal out there.

On a second note, our stadium naming could bring about some massive income also. We are really working hard on that too and hopefully soon we will get a hold on a very good deal.

So, dream all you want. Neither Messi or Neymar is going anywhere anytime soon.wink
You all need to hire the best economists around lest na total breakdown of MSN i dey see so.

I still wonder why they don't build large capacity stadiums in England albeit they have fans that are willing to fill them up.
I've always thought of this and I think it might have a thing to do with old architecture.

Lately, a large number of English sides have ongoing schemes to redevelop existing grounds or to move to newly constructed stadia.

This must be them moving away from the archaic architectural plans.

Well to the news many wouldn't love to hear/read.

Despite the global attraction and success of Barcelona, who won the treble last season, the finances are in sticky situation and it's been revealed that Enrique's side didn't even make a profit on their Champions League success.

Staggeringly, the wages of the Barcelona squad take up a monumental 74% of the La Liga leaders revenue - with Messi and Neymar being the high-earners.

Whilst there's still plenty to sort, like the sponsorship of the team strip and the Nou Camp itself, the likelihood of either of Barcelona's superstars leaving the club seems more likely and Neymar in particular seems to be in a precarious position as he negotiates a new contract.

Hazard + £40m for Messi wouldn't be a bad bid though.

Well, it looks like the application will involve demolishing not only Stamford Bridge but also surrounding buildings on the site.

The areas affected are marked in red in the pic below.

The London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham will now review the plan and drop their feedback.

I'm actually staying in Ogbor hill too. At a place called Ukaegbu or something like that.
Oh well bruh, you're living in my hood.

Ukaegbu road is under construction at the moment. The work should have been done with by now if not for the construction company's incompetence.

I'll send you a PM shortly.

Afam4eva simply put, Aba is a ghetto.

I've got a home in Ogbor-hill and the area isn't as bad as you've illustrated.

I'll love to know which part of the city you are staying, wouldn't mind having a drink or two with you.

In other news, we have submitted our 60k Stamford Bridge plan today.

Whilst Rennes have been issued a warning to play Jeremy Boga who's on loan at the French club or risk losing him.

Link please
A quick google search of ''Vardy's hand written transfer request'' would be of immense help.

I saw the letter on twitter and I can't believe an issue of such magnitude can be presented in a trivial manner by Vardy. Dude actually submitted a sentence request cheesy

Quite epic!

Gone are the days when men would troll intelligently on here. Days of Debosky, Ritchboy, Pataki, Coogar, Sagamite, Honeric, Mukina, A40 etc

These days all I see are Gary Lineker wannabes who are just out to disturb our peace and have us waltz away our megabytes.

If you can't prove beyond every reasonable doubt that Mr A is a better football player than Mr B, why not just shut it and suck your thumb?

okay. Most important game of the year.

Dayo used the same logic for Boateng against Terry and you all disagreed
Wrong. We all disagreed because it's quite silly to use a single game as the sole criterion in judging who's better between two players.

In the case of Gerrard/Scholes, we're using every available fact and evidence not just a game.

We've reviewed both players' personal honors, legendary moments, and significant impacts, it's glaring clear G shits on the retired albino.

Not even bench. . Train with under21's

He's acting like a spoilt baby because there's no competition for his place and he knows Falcao and Remy are not trusted byy mourinho.
Dhellake:
IMO, Nigger should remain on the bench for two more games

Just one season and he is already seeing himself like some overlord, it's Bournemouth, even Kenedy can start up front
Dongorgon5:
Costa should sit on the bench or even dropped to reserve team,so that the Twa*t will learn in a hard way.

We will beat bournemouth with solanke upfront.
It's obvious Jose doesn't trust either Remy or even freaking Falcao, so is that going to see us stick with the conservative false 9 tactics we deployed against Spurs?

chrisley024:
spare me that 'playing with average joes', he was a big fish in small pond and might as well have been swallowed in a team with top players grin
This is a baseless conjecture. Common sense should inform you that playing for a better team would by all means improve a player.

Gerrard wouldn't have to worry about some responsibilities had it been he was at Manyoo. He'll have the chance to express himself more and play towards attaining a legendary status.

chrisley024:
what did he win when he had the best attack in the league?
Istanbul glory is all you need.

He won the the holy grail with s****s like Smicer and Milan Baros.

chrisley024:
Scholes was the architect of last minutes points picked by United. What's the number one job of a midfielder if not to string passes.
By only stringing passes together you'll be seen as every other midfielder. You're considered special when you're doing something other than just stringing passes together. Overall game play bruh!

There's a reason Cesc isn't highly rated despite being a super pass master.

chrisley024:
Scholes came out of retirement and helped his team to clinch the title while Gerrard fumbled to end his team's hope of getting one. grin
This na blatant lie cheesy
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by Griffon: 12:37pm On Dec 01, 2015
What could be the punishment for Costa's disrespectful bib antics?

Personally, I see him starting against Bournemouth this weekend.

It's a game we should easily win, hence we have to throw all we've got at them.

I'll love to read your opinions on the issue.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by Griffon: 12:07pm On Dec 01, 2015
chrisley024:
na by?
Your overall game play. Unlike Scholes, Gerrard is one ninja who is willing to carry the team along.

His leadership qualities, sheer determination to win, and ability to slot into any position and still deliver is quite unrivalled.

I lost count of how many times Gerrard single-handedly won games for Liverpool. The man played mostly with average joes and being the team's captain, the onus to deliver was placed on him and he sure did.

Apart from stringing together passes, what can Mr Scholes do better than Gerrard?
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by Griffon: 9:40am On Dec 01, 2015
Steven Gerrard over Scholes for me anyday anytime. No be by up-through passes.

Good game.

Spurs are a team in all sense of the word, not a bunch of individuals.

Happy to come away with a point, looking decently solid in the process.
Quite solid bruh.

SIRcumalot:
@griffon he was well on his way to becoming one if he was never sold.
You need longevity to reach legend status.
Honestly the way you guys are trying to downplay his achievement is strange its not like you sold him for small money.
Except that he never became one.

Which achievement really? I think Im only downplaying his stats.

Replace Mata with Dele Alli in our squad of 2012-13 and we would have still done that European back-to-back sh1t.

Yeye Torres wey score in that UCL semi-final and Europa league final neffa claim legendary status, Mata wan yarn cheesy
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by Griffon: 12:26am On Nov 29, 2015
Mata was a good player for us but certainly not a Chelsea great. One will be making a colossal mistake by including the Spaniard in our team of all time greats.

Truth is you need to look beyond stats when drawing up a list of greats, figures don't usually explain to you who was doing a yeoman job.

Malouda finished the 09/10 season - his debute season, with an impressive 15 goals and 15 assists. He helped us land a major domestic double. He then followed that up the next season with 13 EPL goals, finishing the campaign as our top scorer in the league.

Statistically, Florent Malouda is a great at Chelsea. But then, that'll be backward thinking because realistically Malouda lacked legendary moments, consistent standard overall play and longevity. Which happens to be the case with Mata.

Another key thing greats do is to be influential in winning a major title not won in many years or for the first time. I can bet my testicles that Lampard, Cech, Drogba, Ashley Cole and freaking Ramires were more influential than Mata in our winning the 2012 UCL.

All Mata offered us were good stats, with no legendary moments and a single-handedly won major title.

He's in the same category with Malouda as far Chelsea is concerned, good player but not a legend.

Emaprince:
As soon as i saw lacer's suggestion on making chelsea's flop list, boularouz was the first name that came to my mine, chai! And Ibime no even waste time there. That guy is a real flop. I remember chelsea vs barca at the bridge where he stiffle ronaldinho, i thought he was reliable, then against spurs at white heart lane, chai chai... Robie keane(i think) use that chop kpomo, come table the pass give lennon.. SMH. United topped the table from there and we never recovered.

Felipe luiz and del horno are flops. Even hilario. But the chief flops are caudrado and falcao, abeg!!

Ibime, i think it should be Iva over Azpi. You guys are judging Iva based on his recent form. This is a ninja that used to be the best right back in Egland in his heydays. He offers a lot - attacking and defending, scoring all kinds of goals. He can also play as a RB or CB. He was a massive player. But Azpi only does his defensive duties brilliantly, nothing more.
Oh Boulahrouz!

I phucking saw that game and I can't believe Khalid was actually defending there.

Dude was dancing to the beats of Dre cheesy
