“I’ll never forget when Conte courted me for Koulibaly, going up to €58m with Chelsea. I told him, ‘what can I do with €58m?’ Money is a means, not an end. The end is Koulibaly.”

-Aurelio De Laurentiis



This sounds like Conte had a lot more power in the transfer market than I previously thought

For sure conte was 50% behind our signing last season. He likes to sign average players and turn them into world class, why? Due to his ego he can not manage world class players, except you are Italian.

diggz:
Lordfalcao and Laumdeuter must be the guys signing players for us

The thing weak me.

Fabinho would’ve fitted more with Kante instead of bakayoko. He shield the defense and make perfect runs forward when needed.

So Chelsea see Fabinho for Monaco and sing Bakayoko??

This people nor well true true

Ibime:
Your eye dey there - you picked a good bunch of incoming players, but your outgoings are disagreeable.

Zouma can easily be reabsorbed in a 4 man defence. Our problem with him was he wasn't a technical fit for 3 man defence.

Jorginho is a perfect fit for Kante but with what players cost these days, transfers tend to be more financial than having eye for player. Jorginho price may prove restrictive.

Seri is also very technical. Infact you have highlighted the 2 most fitting partners for Kante on the market this summer.

My only problem with Koulibaly and Seri is I don't trust age of any African player over 25. They might cast by 27 or 28.

You are somehow right about zouma, he can only stay if either one of Luiz or Cahil is leaving the club.

Koulibaly was born in France so I believe he can’t falsify his birth date only seri is questionable. Drogba and Essien lasted for us though.

We have drinkwater to sell to raise half of Jorginho’s money. Jorginho can not be more than 60m pounds.

diggz:
you are chasing drinkwater away when we still have bakanonsense and fabregas escort services? mbanu I am still afan of willian tho but if he wants to go nhe can fvck off asap...the rest names are not even worth addressing asides zouma...so fvck them and they can fcvk of too

Fab and Baka will be useful for carabao and FA Cup

Jemi7:
Lmao, which Martial? Martial arts abi na another one? Lmao

Dope don’t be naive. If your coach insist on getting Willian then he should be swap for martial.

diggz:
You don't have a coach yet do you? My own be say if dem no even sign new players fab n yoko should fvck off for younger players to come play their rubbish, I no go mind.

Rlc, pasalic n van should return abeg let them fvck off fast...

Player IN: Jorginho, seri, koulibaly, Martial, Icardi and Bailey

Player OUT: drinkwater, Pedro, morata, zouma, zappacosta and willian(if he still insist to go).

Unlimited22:
Henderson, Lallana, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Wijnaldum, Keita and Fabinho.
That's Liverpool midfield next season, and I didn't include Emre Can.
Good God.

Emre can is going.

That’s a handful of midfielders there for Liverpool. Fekir is signing soon.

CFC which way?

eph12:
Now you understand why we call you shekpe when you use Neymar and Hazard in the same sentence as if they are mates

I know say na Sunday but OGUN kee u there. Hazard and Neymar can be compared not Herrera and Kroose that’s sacrilege.

larride:
Forget Kross bro, the guy is only good at passing sideways and once in a way forward pass. He’s German version of Herrera.

Modric is the real deal.

Kroose and Herrera in one sentence? Manure fans can never change

Na Chris Benoit style Ramos wan do Salah for there.

raumdeuter:
Asensio and Vasquez are young and Madrid will rather keep them than Isco

WILL? Make I leave u sha

raumdeuter:
Benzema starting where is Bale

When me and u discuss Bale huh.

Isco starting where is Vázquez and Asensio?
Amala turner

Raumdeuter Isco starting ucl final.

Where is Vasquez and Asensio?

raumdeuter:
Eden Hazard tells his Chelsea teammate: I want Real Madrid move

Btw, bring out Hazard’s quote were he was telling team mate he wants Madrid move.

Neymar want Real Madrid move

chrysan:
wow Nice

You look pretty.
I’ll want to wife u
What ya say

raumdeuter:
"Eden has rejected a contract extension so he can, if neccesary, deal with interest from Real Madrid, where he likes what he sees," declared the player's father, Thierry Hazard, in an interview published by the Belgian paper.

https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/eden-hazard-chelsea-real-madrid-14285697

So Hazard’s father is now Hazard.

raumdeuter:
I want to work with Guardiola can mean Pep coaching him at PSG unlike Hidden Hazard that has been begging to go to Madrid for the past 4 yrs

Neymar begging Madrid too.

mayormick:
Seriously, don't even know where d news of d man signing a two year deal originated from. As u said, waiting for sky sports or even on Chelsea website. Remember, conte has not even been sacked

The man will be signed June 1, if he is signed now Chelsea will have to pay his release clause which is expiring may 31st.

obainojazz:
Lingard>Malouda

Attention seeker

diggz:
sandro reminds me of malouda... I don't know why.

Yeah you are right. Their ball movement is same.

MoR2:
to those that wish alonso to be sold or think he can't play lb

Barcelona star Lionel Messi has told the club to move for Chelsea’s Marcos Alonso, reports claim.
Alonso could leave the Blues if a new manager replaces Antonio Conte at Stamford Bridge.
And Barca, who are in search of a left-back, appear the idea destination.
Don Balon claim Messi has spoken to the Barca top brass to push for a deal for Alonso.
He could cost about £40m.

He will be more suited in La Liga. CFC should go for Sandro.

diggz:
fab can fvck off sharply...

LOL..That guy is weak honestly.

Ibime:
Kante, MVG, RLC is a workable midfield

However I prefer to unleash Kante as a B2B midfielder. I saw how Atletico midfield could not cope with him as a B2B.

We are sleeping on a serious upside if we do not utilise him as a B2B

My point too. Jorginho as sitting DM Kante as b2b while either of Loftus cheek or fab as AM

MoR2:
pls when you say "una" do you mean hen and Ben

Off the ball movement is not sitting at the back as you envisaged in your previous post.

MoR2:
off the ball is when you lose the ball and keep having to recover it.

so are you saying Chelsea should keep getting players to play games on the back foot, sit back and soak up pressure

or you want to explain to me the off the ball work rate of KDB and Silva

see, simple advice forget getting jorginho.

When you guys hear off the ball movement you think of defending tactics. Mou style of football don configure una mind.

MoR2:
jorginho is a 26year old DM, he will wisely pick City over Chelsea.

pick another CM.



yea, you talk about load being too much for VG and RLC. In whose formation and style of play, Conte or Sarri?

I mean offball those two work rate is average and the load will be too much for Kante like this concluded season. You know why we won the league last two season? Matic. He shielded the defense for kante to roam the midfield, so it is best we Jorginho a DM/CM who can shield the defense and Kante play box to box because he can run forward and recover as well. Since Sarri prefer three midfielders we can now go for either Loftus cheek as Am or weak Fab depending on the opponent.

Ibime:
Alonso may be too slow for the recovery runs. He would have to become more defensive to reduce the recovery space.

Exactly!

MoR2:
how!? if Sarri can get Hazard, Willian and Morata (if they stay) firing at all cylinders.

Midfield is the heart of football, once it’s below par strikers will starve of the ball and defense becomes vulnerable. We need quality midfielder to pair up with Kante next season and I suggest Jorginho of Napoli.

MoR2:
First off I didn't pick that midfield (Kante, Barkley and Van ginkel)

secondly Dier or Fernadinho is not a better DM than Kante.

thirdly the person that picked that midfield preferred Barkley to Fabregas(has had a poor season).

fourthly any midfield can cope against any midfield, besides before this season who knew Silva would play in midfield. if Liverpool can cope with Ox, Henderson, Can or even that other guy wind...***

at first it was even RLC I put there sef not van ginkel.

if Bakayoko can cope against Matic, pogba and herrera I don't see why players with better ball control will not

Without the ball players like MVG and Loftus cheek will struggle the load will be too much for Kante. We need a quality CM in person of Jorginho of Napoli to help Kante our next season.

MoR2:
in terms of what you wrote above without "Sarri" spending one dime (I read he doesn't like transfer windows) his first eleven would be

TCourtios; Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Cahill, Emerson; Kante; Barkley, Van Ginkel; Willian, Morata, Hazard.

bench: GK, Christensen, Zouma, Alonso, Zappacosta, Bakayoko, Fabregas, RLC, Moses, Giroud, Batshuayi

Tell me how we can win the league with that first IV?

MoR2:
those teams have been in UCL for the past two to three seasons. their team bang in more goals than Chelsea and play an enviable style of football yet they didn't have to break the bank like city to win the league and Carabao cup or like united and still go trophyless.

money doesn't guarantee victory. if you can't establish your own players then you have a serious problem.

buying one or two "established" players doesn't change the fact that fringe (upcoming) players will be in a starting eleven.

Liverpool is in UCL finals how many "established" players did they buy or have in their eleven

Liverpool are spending on players too only Tottenham spend less and we all can see they haven’t won a trophy in a decade now.
