Imagine wildcarding Lukaku and Ronaldo in for Lukaku to miss out and Ronaldo blank...

Imagine not transferring the greatest goalscorer of all time in and then he scores a hattrick versus a shaky Newcastle defence. The 25% that did captained him and then you lost 10-15 points in that single gameweek (depending on how good your options do). That would probably lead to him raising in price as well, and now you either need to get him in versus a stronger defence, or get priced out

Ibime better be ready, FPL don dey address me as 'Mazi' and na five-star team we be now.

There's problem in the land.

Everyday is a movie for this man.

Speak of blending seamlessly with the team. Man looks so happy like he just got out of jail.

BlueMann:
Jovacic beware, King Saul is here

Saul is that sort of player that steps into your team and blends seamlessly with everyone and the system. He's very technically. Watch this space, he's going to prove to be a bargain acquisition.

Mehn, Niguez looked very sharp in Chelsea's training. Perfect control, quick pass, and physical agility all on point.

Barcelona selling Griezmann back to Atletico for €40 million, two years after paying €120 million to sign him - a transfer fee funded by taking out a short-term €35 million bank loan and mortgaging €85 million of future income.

Who are the imbeciles that run this club? Those idiots must have racked up tons of Fs during their college years.

Lazio sends the screenshot to Kostics agent,
Agent forward screenshot to Kostic,
Kostic is pissed and refused to attend training
Frankfurt is going to punish/fine Kostic for not attending training
Frankfurt claims Lazio did not include the letter K in the domain name
They claim there is no letter K in Italian alphabet

Shey no be this Lazio Hushpuppy use them head for DeVrij transfer

Someone has cloned a mail and has joined the conversation. He is waiting for the perfect time to drop aza. make the transfer fee land for his hand.

These pinks wont just learn.

Almajirihunter:
See Jorginho ooo

airmark:
Pique, Thiago Silva, Ramos are older than your useless Boathand, yet they are playing top level football in UCL. Yuropa is where Alagolo belongs and his agent even begged Lyon very well few days to the end of the window to get him signed.

Alago doesn't know what he is asking for. Ligue 1 no be moi-moi. By the time those black french boys carry him run for 90 minutes, he'll definitely be pleading for retirement.

When You Escaped Facing Bayern By Joining PSG.

Squad depth is when your Team B is stronger than Arsenal first XI.

hensben:
So you think Christensen is better than maguire or lindelof. Na tactics Dey cover him flaws. Pair him in a two man defense coupled with average coach like Ole. Btw, how was Christensen under Lampard.

You be mugu. So it was tactics that saw him excel in Germany which eventually led to him being voted Gladbach's Player of the Season, ahead of Granit Xhaka, the team captain?

It was tactics that propelled Barca, Bayern and Pep to be after his signature?

Thunder fire you for coming here to disgrace the Blue Family.

JayKayMaybachz:
Is Christensen better than Lindelof?

Why'd you want to make an argument for a player who is not physically imposing, isn't the best technically and is hardly consistent with his performance?

Who is Lindelof please?

hensben:
With a good DM you won’t even notice CB flaws. Christensen is not better than Lindelof.

Anytime you smoke SK no come our rivals thread to type, till you don dey normal.

Not an automatic starter, but the depth was necessary. Marina pulling off another blinder. Salute!

FOR THE RECORDS!

“I don’t want Pogba to go but if he does go I’d take Saul Niguez all day long. Not like-for-like but still a top player.

“What a player. I’ve been harping on about Saul Niguez for a few years now.

“I think he’s a major player. He’s composed, calm, great left foot, lovely conductor, he can score goals, tactically he’s very aware. You can see [Diego] Simeone, he gets his teams really well set up and he’s in the middle orchestrating and dictating things.”

- Rio Ferdinand (April 2020)

Chelsea have not given up on signing Sevilla centre-back Jules Kounde and could return for him in January, according to the Guardian.

The Blues were strongly linked with the Frenchman all summer, but after the La Liga club refused to let him leave for anything less than his £65million release clause.

Kounde had been linked with other clubs, but it was Chelsea who he had his heart set on signing.

Sevilla Sporting Director Monchi said: "There's been a lot of talk about moves made for Jules, the majority of which were rejected by the player.

"If there was one club he liked the look of, it was Chelsea."

- The SUN

Griezmann rejoined ATM for 35m. A stomach-churning £73million loss for Barca after signing the Frenchman for £107million in 2019.

Who are the imbeciles running that club sef?

Malang Sarr has seen a possible loan move to Grether Furth fall apart on deadline day.

The 22-year-old was seen as someone very likely to leave the Stamford Bridge club on Tuesday.

However, French outlet Foot Mercato states that even though Sarr travelled to Germany, his move was not completed on time.

Apparently, this guy was unhappy at ATM because he was being played out of position hence the regress.

Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic, and Saul Niguez for the midfield duties.

Good addition IMO.

The announcement video was cool as always, but there wasn’t any images of Saul with a Chelsea shirt and this is because he stayed in Spain last night whilst the deal was being completed and did all his part of the deal digitally.

So when will he be partaking in media duties? Well, according to the man himself, as we have reported and provided the full transcript for here at Si & Dan Talk Chelsea, he thinks he is doing media duties today when he flies in to London, which you’d also expect to be the official interview with the club.

Saul said:

“I don’t know what my plan is for tomorrow. Probably when I arrive I will go to the hotel and then immediately to training. Later, I will probably have to spend time with the club media, do interviews, photos…

“I’m looking forward to the trip, I’m about to go packing my suitcase. I want to be there and start a new adventure.”

The emboldened line up there does it for me. The competition is phucking real at Chelsea. Thats the stuff champs are made of.

"The only negative was not playing in my position [at Atletico]," Saul said in an interview with Ibai Llanos on Twitch.

"I could not show what I would like. I had a block in my head that did not allow me to play in another role. Chelsea's option was to leave my comfort zone. It won't be easy to get into that team."

A box-to-box midfielder, Saul is at his best operating in a central role, though his versatility and work-rate has often seen him deployed out wide by Simeone.

Saul made only 22 league starts last season, his lowest figure since 2014-15. This perhaps explains why he ranked only fourth in the Atleti squad for attempted tackles in the top tier, with 57.

However, since August 2019, only Real Madrid's Casemiro (190) had attempted more tackles by a midfielder than Saul (159) in LaLiga.

We’re delighted to welcome @saulniguez to the club on a season-long loan! #HolaSaul

"At Chelsea I will train in my position. Then we will see if I play. That is the biggest cause of my decision," Saul added.

"I want to go to Chelsea, try the experience and then see what happens. I don't want to think further. I want to go, compete and help Chelsea.

"Personally, I want to go back to being the Saul that I want to see. I don't want to see the Saul that you've seen these last two years. I was very frustrated not being able to show people what I am capable of."

Saúl to play on loan at Chelsea until June 30. We wish you the very best - you deserve it!

“At 11:57 p.m. we finished reviewing the contract and they had to see it there … I was like De Gea. I thought: ‘This is not going to come in and that’s it.’ It has been a long afternoon and night.

“My wife was very nervous, we have had some very complicated days, because this decision is not easy. Leaving my house on a new adventure is complicated.”

Ibime:
Hahahaha. . . . even veteran manager Chamotex chook mouth

He has been making few appearances on Match Day Nairaland. He comes to the studio with his can of snuff.

Oga Fit Collect For Him Boy Hand As High Flying Aba Netbusters Encounters Ipukulu FC In Gameweek 4!

The Aba Netbusters were at their best, overcoming Oasis007’s Odua Warriors 74-64, a team touted as a contender for the FA title, on Game-week 3 at the Aba outfit’s dreaded ground ‘We No Get Security’ Arena.

From behind the Colombian stand where the stench of marijuana could be perceived, a voice screamed at Mazi Griffon, as the game headed the other way, “Wey Ibime dey make him help you change formation for this game?” Griffon did not dignify the remark with a glare, keeping his eyes on the pitch and his mind on the task at hand.

The answer to the fan's rhetorical question was to be answered on Saturday, September 11th, when Aba Netbusters faces Ipukulu FC and their long serving head coach, Ibime Ayapripri Jack-Daniel, who was Griffon's boss during Ipukulu FC’s title winning season.

"I think he (Griffon) has a lot to prove this year," Veteran manager Chamotex said. "Everyone was saying Ibime was the brains. But now this year he has a lot on his shoulders.

Despite sitting atop the FA Cup standing and chilling on the sixth spot on Nairaland Main league table, the task for Griffon seems to grow more difficult by the day, especially as he makes the daunting trip to the creeks where Ipukulu Fc whose management is largely made up of militants ply their trade.

But Griffon, if he feels it, is not showing the pressure.

“I am relaxed, it feels like a home-coming. I was one of Ibime’s assistants during Ipukulu’s title winning season, I had my own gun then. So, the creeks are not new to me. I have great moments to look back to there.

"We will come out and hug,". I was a great assistant and I have a lot I know about the beautiful game to credit to Ibime. It's just the way it is, under the circumstances we both must go through this and then go home and deal with our lives. We will be fine. There is no rivalry there.”

Ipukulu Fc have equally made a strong start to the season. They are occupying the tenth position on the Nairaland Main League and the third spot on the FA Cup log, six points adrift of leaders Aba Netbusters.

Speaking shortly after trouncing Peter Upua’s Upuablog.com.ng 60-83 away from home, Ibime Ayapripri Jack-Daniel stressed that it is too early to tag Gameweek 4’s clash with Aba Netbusters an FA Cup title decider.

“Nah. It is just too early. This is a marathon not a sprint, I always tell you guys that. They (Aba Netbusters) have made a blistering start to the season and look to be in fine form. They are well structured and have a great mind as their gaffer. It is going to be an interesting fixture.

“I have known Griffon for ten years now, I’m not surprised that he’s taken this season by storm. When he told me that he was going back to Aba, I felt maybe he was planning to start a business in Ariaria, little did I know he was going to recruit the best legs that big town has got. We have the International break before us, after which we focus on that very cracker.’’

Oh, was that Boga? I was even thinking the lad on Sassulo's jersey is Ike Ugbo. My bad.

Four academy boys, raised (in part) in South London, born in the space of 437 days, all now playing in Serie A and living within relatively close distance of each other.

Interestingly, they're all of Nigerian descent.
