Amoto94:
Thomas Tuchel is a fan of Declan Rice but Chelsea prioritised the signing of striker Romelu Lukaku and interest in Jules Kounde, and will only sign a new midfielder if an opportunity presents itself between now and the end of the transfer window.

- @Matt_Law_DT
Interestingly, Rice is very unhappy with his 100million price tag and is reportedly looking for a way out of West Ham.

Marina gets high from competing deals whether the deal is wise or not.

That's how Executives roll. They will start hi-fiving each other and book bottles of champagne to celebrate pushing a Bakayoko transfer across the line. Their mumu no be here
Same madness they displayed after our title winning season with Conte.

Kounde does not affect the progress of Chaloboah.

Chalo is primarily a dm, we need a fourth midfielder, No brainer isn't.

It would be stupidity to say we shouldn't sign Kounde just because of Chalo's performance.
Nah, it's most preferable to have a ball playing def in a three man backline, and that's what we've got in Trevor. What that means is that we've dealt the need for an extra defender, and can now place our attention on acquiring a DM - most probably Tchouameni.

And believe me when I say I prefer Tchouameni in our midfield over Trevor, the latter looks tailor made for that RCB, whilst the former was born for the midfield battles.

Na like this we dey start get issue for our club.

Trevor don impress TT to the point that he doesn't need Kounde anymore but Marina isn't buying that. She's angling to land the Frenchman with hopes to resell for a higher value in the future. And there's no better time to make the move than now Barca and Madrid are battling financial ish.

She's doing her job no doubt but then, TT is equally doing his job. He's the manager and wants to have a happy squad. No need stacking up unhappy players.

Na like this problem dey take start.

Guy left Tutsi and Hutu problem to be ranting about Arsenal grin grin grin

Iamoyindamola, Roland17, you see what your club can cause?
Like left national issues to be hammering on Arsenal defeat. Maybe he's pissed that Rwanda's 30million pounds' Visit Rwanda deal is looking like a very bad investment.

This is the very first time I'm seeing a president publicly criticize a football club that isn't in his continent. Man was ranting like an average fan.

Na this tweet mad me pass:

It's been a struggle of about decade(s) -ups&downs-more downs until this point. Can't we have a plan that really works?? One part to look at is how we deal in the market- players we buy to execute the plan. The touch&go mentality does not bring change.

Let me continue my praise for the improvement in officiating rules. While it is not perfect, we are getting a semblance of the EPL before 2012.. Those who have followed the league from the very late 90’s int0 2012 will understand. The flair is there but it has become a fair physical battle, I am not seeing too many whistles for cheap fouls..and many more..
Hopefully, it stays..
I noticed this in our game with Palace. ''Play on'' was what Jonathan Moss kept signaling even when the tackles got a tad nastier. Few players were lucky not to have gotten into his book.

I should be doing 108pts right now, If I had started Benrahma. Boy is sitting on the bench with my 10 freaking points while Coufal who got the last minute nod couldn't even keep a clean sheet.

Lukaku’s agent Pastorello has had to speak out against abuse he’s received – potentially from Inter fans over the transfer of his client to Chelsea.

The statement read partly: “What we absolutely cannot tolerate are the falsehoods, insinuations, insults and threats we have received (also against my family and my daughters, i.e.), which have far exceeded the limits of civilisation, decency and tolerance.”

Pastorello also dismissed suggestions that Lukaku’s Inter departure was money-driven.

“The narrative – that Lukaku’s transfer was ‘engineered’ and ‘forced’ just the pander to financial interests – is leading everyone absolutely astray,” Pastorello explained.

“Where Lukaku has never publicly expressed any unease or discontent about his experience at FC Internazionale, his contractual situation or the well known events of the Club, the interest of Chelsea has really touched Romelu’s soul from the very first moment because that club means to him something unique and special.”

Meanwhile, the 28-year-old has rejoined Chelsea on a five-year deal after two seasons at Inter. He expressed his excitement to help Chelsea build on their continued silverware collection.

.............................................................................

Keep your Haaland, the emboldened is enough reason to re-sign Lukaku a miilion times. Boy is a true blue in and out. Damn!
