Conte is cooking

I wish he can get his man Vic mo on loan
Spurs will only challenge if they can land a very decent CB to partner either of Dier or Sanchez, a DM who isn’t anything like Skipp or Winks and a chief creator in their midfield.

He’s 33.

Not a big miss as a Wing back for any serious club.
And what has 33 got to do with anything? He’s a free agent, pockets less than 100k as wage and is very much pretty in form.

Squad depth miss.

Looks like Ivan Perisic will be joining Spurs on a two-year deal.

That’s a big miss.

Although rubbish managers like Iamoyindamola shouldn't panic too much. Banter and contribution to this thread is still a criteria for FA cup qualification

The loose rules are, if you finished top 50 in main league and you request code in time, you should make FA Cup. Winner of Carling Cup (both winner of playoffs and winner of regular season) should get FA Code if they apply early. If you contribute regularly to this thread and don't totally sück as a manager, you should get in. Past winners of league and FA Cup also should get code. . . . all the above contingent on applying early enough
Thank God we write articles grin

IB something came up as regards to that japa parole. I go write you before the week runs out.

I know Pep can never do what Conte did at Chelsea because he asked Roman for 10 new players to be competitive

If Pep managed Chelsea, we would be hearing now how Chalobah ended up in Watford, Baba Rahman in Reading, Moses in Spartak Moscow, Ivanovic in West Brom, Cahill in Crystal Palace, Batsuayi in Turkey and how Pedro was chased from Roma. . . .just like we hear about Clichy, Zabaleta and Sagna

"It is very important, the choice. Morata, for sure, is our first choice," said the 47-year-old head coach, who signed an improved contract with Chelsea this week.

"He is a good player, the right prospect for Chelsea and hopes to show his value with us.
If you know nothing about a club, shush your mouth and ask those who follow the Club.

Cuntay got his targets like Morata Bakayoko and he finished 5th in the league

Was it not Cuntay who sacked Costa personally with a text message
Got $50 to spare that Bakayoko was never Conte’s target?

In fact add Morata to the list.

Cuntay was the first manager to surrender before kickoff
You’re spewing thrash.

Conte and the board couldn’t stand the sight of each other when the latter failed to provide him with his prime targets.

Conte wanted Walker over Zappacosta, wanted Kane over Morata, wanted a CM that wasn’t Bakayoko, in fact when he was quizzed about the transfer when Matic left, Conte said: "You must ask the club about this."

Anything wey you no know about this club, just calm down and ask questions. Conte no be your mate.

No need paying for Pope.

McCarthy and Sam Johnstone are available on free transfer. Can even get Karl Darlow sub £10m
Well, shouldn’t be much of a concern I guess. Johnstone and McCarthy are very good cheap alternatives.

Can we even succeed in letting Kepa off our wage bill?

I agree with ibime on us giving cowill a chance instead of splashing 100million on defenders alone

We need to reinforce our midfield and build around havertz
Same way we would've spent 60millon on hakimi when we have James
Going forward, I wouldn’t mind building this team around Havertz, as much as I hate to say it.

The fluidity of the positional setup is just one part of the beautiful game. TT was trying this out this season with the triumvirate of Pulisic Havertz and Mount, but then, there was no way that could have effectively worked without a solid midfield base.

We tend to look predictable when Lukaku leads the line. He simply finds it tough getting involved in a fluid attacking play with his teammates, this of course can be attributed to his poor technical ability.

Since ‘rebuilding’ is the word on everyone’s lips, I’ll say let’s prioritize the acquisition of a top attacking midfielder to line up with Mount and Havertz upfield, a top CM, a backup LB for Chilwell and two CBs.

We can try prizing away either of Chiesa or Gnabry from their respective teams. If Dembele is available, then he’s equally a good alternative.

Tchoaumeni should be the man for the CM role, then Kounde/Fofana/Colwill should sort the defense out.

If we must challenge on all fronts next season, this is what we should be looking at or a template as such:

Mendy/Pope

Kounde/Azpilicueta Silva/Fofana Colwill/?

James/Sterling Kante/Kovacic Tchoaumeni/Gallagher Chilwell/?

Mount/Pulisic Havertz/Lukaku Chiesa/Gnabry/Odoi

Hope you realize Chelsea has spent almost 750million since Conte last season and haven't finished even 2nd in the league . With Pep, Klopp, Conte and Eth next season, Chelsea will likely finish 5th.
You’re capping crap. Why are you limiting it to the league? Because your demigod is struggling to win the UCL with his fantasy team?

Since Conte left, Chelsea have won the UEFA Europa up, Champions League, Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup, while also hitting decent net profits on two different seasons.

We’ve spent 750m rada rada, did you factor in the sales that were made to recoup most of those losses? This is unlike City and manyoo, who have been spending all their lives but are yet to record a single net profit for the past five seasons.

Pep doesn’t have what it takes to balance a squad whilst also balancing the books, he’s just a cheque book manager. He’s a fraud!

It’s a Chelsea thing, it’s in our DNA to keep winning. Either on the domestic or international fronts. So bring on your ETH or even Ethereal. We are here.

I honestly don't know why we are spending crazy millions on defenders

Romain Saiss on free transfer with Levi Colwill should sort that Rudiger spot in the team for the next two years. Saiss is rugged, decent on the ball, knows that LCB inside-out, and very deadly at set-pieces. Give him two year contract to take him to 33 while opening a pathway for Colwill to take the spot immediately or in the next two years, depending on how Colwill performs, with the insurance of Saiss if Colwill is jittery.
I rate Colwill so highly and I expect him to make a bold statement next season. Lampard is asking for a loan move, I doubt TT will grant that.

How someone would look at City and Liverpool with the top players at their disposal, sees the gulf in class and still resort to blaming Tuchel for us finishing third while having Havertz, Jorginho, Pulisic, Loftus-Cheek, Barkley, Alonso, Ziyech and Christensen all along really baffles me. grin

lol. Issokay .

Soludo warned IPOB members Stop enforcing sit-at-home order , they threatened to deal with him . His local government secretariat has since been burnt and now the member of house representing his constituency is beheaded .

Well maybe not all crimes in the east being tagged with the name IPOB/ESN were actually committed by the group, but this particular one is surely not a coincidence . But if u say they are incapable of carrying out such dastardly act, let’s hope u are right and the victims are apprehended before they do even worse.
Nah. All I’m saying is that you shouldn’t swallow hook, line and sinker what the FG controlled media sells to you.

IPOB isn’t even on UK’s list of terrorist groups, but look how they were proscribed and made to look so evil here in Nigeria just because they’re a separatist group.

That should tell you something.

Are you aware that your FG can commit atrocities under the guise of IPOB and still use their media channels to accuse IPOB of such atrocities?

Anything to keep the group at bay bro and give credence to their claims that these guys pushing for self-determination are terrorists.

God forbid I support arsenal.


How do you claim we are competitive when we just finished almost 20points of the first and second place?

How were we competitive when we have forgotten when last we won a league game at home?

How were we competitive when we did not beat any of the big teams bar arsenal the regular customer?

You can only claim we were competitive if this wasn't how our season played out,now my issue is not even being competitive like I said earlier but our pattern of play,if our pattern of play was encouraging while being less competitive then we also agree with Tuchel concerning his excuses and look forward to next season with much optimism but that's isnt the case has our pattern is pathetic and we are not competitive so how are we to absolve Tuchel the excuses.
It’s funny how you lot fail to appreciate the good work done by Tuchel.

Despite success being very unlikely, he was able to do it, against all odds. Winning the Champions League in his first half-season with us. Followed that up with a UEFA Super Cup and FIFA World Club Cup trophies this season and have been involved in over two cup finals in the last 14 months.

But somehow, just somehow we aren’t a competitive side.

Speaking of finishing 20pts adrift of the Champions and Liverpool, were you really expecting us to match the challenge those two sides were going to present? It’s akin to taking a Toyota to a Ferrari race. This is not to mention the off-field distractions that rocked us this season.

Neither Pep nor Klopp fit deliver with that squad at TT’s disposal. The imbalance in that squad is glaring clear but somehow you lot want magic to happen.

It’s funny.

Attack Tuchel, his style and philosophy when he FAILS with the team he creates.

I saw the news and wanted to mention Great.ihex that was supporting ESN when IPOB went military initially. I remember how he called us ignorant when we warned about the monster that is being fed by supporting those guys; he claimed ESN was pursuing Killer Fulani herdsmen from their forests.
How do you guys arrive at these conclusions?

Every killing now gets attributed to ESN or IPOB? Like there were never killings, kidnaps and other atrocities committed in the East before the emergence of these groups?

It’s an election period and it’s normal to have these gory news making the rounds. Which one be IPOB? Did they come out to claim responsibility for the killing?

Do you have any proof that members of IPOB handle ammunitions? Or do you just swallow what the FG controlled media sells to you?

Thomas Tuchel had to deal with injuries, sanction, fall-outs, ownership changes, contract rejections and over 60 games in all competitions this season, yet still finished third, won two trophies and got to two other finals.

But somehow, some football neophytes here believes he isn’t the man to lead us going forward.
