Got us Disasi, Gusto, Badiashile, retained Maatsen and Colwill, signed Hall to a long term contract.


Got us a keeper that doesn't have T-Rex arms for 25m.

Got us Jackson and Nkunku for 80m or so combined.

Got us Tyler Adams for 20m.

Got us a competent coach.

Cleared out the expensive unferperformers.



Emotions are high but let's trust these guys and give them room to work.


I'll keep saying, André Trindade and Kudus or Olise and let Poch cook.

Chelsea board did well, I’m not mad at them. Mostly our defense we have warriors and ball playing defenders. We just need someone that can do a proper job in CDM, it’s not about amount to me. I like Caicedo as a player but he is overpriced so I’m not mad we didn’t get him.

Unlimited22:
Simple sturvs.

Get me André Trindade or Romeo Lavia.


Get me Mohammed Kudus or Michael Olise.


Let Poch cook.

Romeo Lavia did ACL before, he is 19, is that the player to trust in CDM position. Same player that went to relegation with Southampton.

Theuniverse:
Brighton suck Liverpool for caicedo, congrats to them. thankfully we have avoided a scam. sorry to all Chelsea fans who believed we will buy caicedo for hundred million lol. it's like you forgot our new policy of no rubbish expensive signings again and young talented players focus. other players dey, and we will get a more affordable, good and young one. let me see how caicedo will deal with the pressure of being the most expensive English signing at 110m lol. we sef we learn small from kepa.

He will deal with it since he moved to Liverpool instead of Chelsea. Watch how English media don’t give a damn about it, they will even taunt chelsea for losing him to Liverpool instead of talking about his outrageous fee.

Gucciboy:
100m caicedo is finally gone,Get Andre Trindade then we are good to go😁😁

Andre Trindade x Lesley Ugochukwu x Tyler Adams x Andrey Santos .....

We should go for Trindade nothing spoil.

First L of the season Caicedo is joining Liverpool.

When I talk here it’s from a critical observation due to football experience over the years.

Hmmmnn, having an edge to play over Gusto may be detrimental to the French's development. Solid depth in the team though.

True, that Gusto is good, he is what man u fan thought Bissaka is.

So Boehly has started creating companies out of thin air to sponsor Chelsea

Infinite Athlete name change was registered less than a week ago and they already signed £50m sponsorship deal within few days

The day UEFA will hold Boehly on his blockos ehn

I done talk am say na Saudis dey behind Boehly in disguise

Of a truth I’m scared something is definitely not alright.

nateevs:
What is absurd is that previously, you asked for Colwill not to start against Liverpool, and to be sold next season. This is the same Colwill that Liverpool wanted to tempt. So you can imagine what we are thinking when we see you say again that Colwill should be sold next season. Based on what?

You cannot continue to say things like these and then say they are only opinions. Don't share things like this abeg.

I was just exaggerating with the selling part, of course I know Sylva won’t be here next season while Fofana is injury prone.

nateevs:
Every time, you manage to come up with something that completely makes me marvel about the side of you that comes up with these absolutely absurd reasoning.

You have not even watched both of them enough times to make this conclusion.

Oga I’ve watched both Humphreys look more decisive and intentional with play than Colwill. Time will tell sha. Btw, what’s absurd in my reasoning? Don’t I have right to share my opinion again.

He was a close pal of Femi Kuti before he returned to the UK after his secondary school education.

That song was massive back then and also Lifted and High in the 90s.

Yes you are right, I just read about him being OBJ’s step son and Femi Kuti’s name was mentioned as his friend, they used to hang out together.

Gucciboy:
It should be silva and injury fofana

Yeah Colwill should stay. My bad.

raumdeuter:
That song is almost 30yrs old

It was used to advertise Rothmans cigarette back in the 90s

Yeah the song is old but it resonate with my mood.

Hope your second paragraph is not shade or you mean what you are saying.😃

Leyqute:
Yeah. Old song. Knew it from the 90s ad. Did some digging over a decade ago and bought the album (audio CD 😁). I still listen to it on Spotify from time to time.

Hensben, check out the album. You'll enjoy it more. You Might even like some of the songs more than Ocean Drive. My faves are lifted, keep remembering, ocean drive, beautiful night. Really good album.

Okay bro I will. Thanks.

Since when? Tunde is Obasanjo's stepson.

Really? Wow I never heard about that before. We learn everyday. He was born in England so he is British by birth.

Unlimited22:
Every time I think we've seen the worst take ever, you manage to outdo yourself.

Omo how do you manage to plumb new depths every day?

He should replace Sylva next season while Colwill stays.

You think you cook. Ask football expert around, Humphreys is the better player, he is less clumsy, erratic and more calm with the ball than Colwill.

Away from football. This song below is making my day already, it make me love and appreciate life more. I believe I’m not the only one who feel same way when listening to this particular song.
Title of the song; Ocean Drive by Lighthouse Family. Surprisingly the black guy is even a Nigerian descent.

BlueMann:

Humphreys has higher ceiling than Colwill. Colwill should be sold next season while Humphreys take his place.

Gucciboy:
Sterling out Mbappe in

Reserved Shirt number

4 - Moises Caicedo

Give me Moises Caicedo. No other thing concerns me at this point. Caicedo Santo and Enzo in midfield against Liverpool and other top teams.

airmark:
We need serious prayer. Even the Arabian fans are not blind like Sterling's supporters here.

They should take him, he will do well for them sighting the level of football being played there.

BlueAngel444:
If we end up with a midfield 5 of
Enzo
Caicedo
Santos
Tyler Adams
Gallagher

How would you rate the midfield options we have over 10

9.8/10, the remaining point is for me.

BlueAngel444:
Chelsea are set to trigger Tyler Adams' £20m release clause at Leeds but are REFUSING to give up on Moises Caicedo - despite Brighton rejecting their £80m bid. {Dailymail}


Chelsea will definitely sign a midfielder next week before the Liverpool game.

Sign Caicedo to pair up Enzo in midfield. Tired of bunch of quantity.

Android17:
They want to unlock Enzo. They will later need to unlock Caicedo if they get him. As long as Todd is listening to Hensben that is sure to happen.

You are not making sense bruv. Enzo need a defensive partnering like Kante and Jorginho. Santos too inexperience for that while Gallagher is not a CDM nor box to box, he is average too or you want us to turn into mid table team. When Madrid tried to use Kroos as CDM last season we all saw how they were pummeled by city and some la liga teams.

Hope Poch is not starting Colwil against Liverpool, he should be played against mid table teams.

BlueAngel444:
Kante WCPlayer, carried him from the hospital 😒

Carried him to ucl win.

OVA200:
Egbon always argue in line with his agenda so I'm not surprised.

Let me put Enzo in all the top teams in the world to see what we get.

Enzo in city is not going there to bench Rodri (their DM) it means stones is leaving the midfield.

Enzo in Bayern is not going there to bench kimmich (their DM) it means laimer is faced with bench.

Enzo in united is not going there to bench casemiro (their DM) Erikson or mount is leaving the midfield.

Enzo in Barca is not going there to bench romeu (their new DM) it means gavi's time is up.

Enzo in Madrid is not going there to bench tchuameni (their only DM) but kroos.

Etc.

But in some cases a CM can be ask to play DM which is a makeshift plan and not the norms.

Like kroos against city,
Gundogan for city at some point,
Enzo for Chelsea last season, etc.
But saying Enzo and jorginho play the same role is like saying kroos and busquet played the same role which is naive and comical.

But egbon no dey use eyes see your post he must counter it.
I leave it to you both.

You really know football. I don’t even have problem with Raumdeuter because it is expected of him, but some Chelsea fan arguing the obvious with me. Using Enzo as makeshift is limitation on him and the team.

OVA200:
Their is no level egbon can't go to push agenda,
One is a regista, one is a CM but egbon is feigning ignorance.

Regista are protected by team structure because they play Infront of the defender and no room for DM e.g busquet, jorginho, pirlo, verrati etc.
But CM dictate the tempo of the game in the middle e.g kroos, xavi etc.
Only pep manage to roll the two role into one in Rodri.

Enzo was always pair with florentino Luis a natural DM in benfica but Chelsea should not get him a DM because he cost 100m.

Throughout this pre season either Gallagher, Santos, casadei have been the one playing the role of regista while Enzo was the more advanced midfielder of the two pivot.

But we should go to the season with Gallagher or Santos as the first choice in that position because we have Enzo Fernandez which cost us 100m.

We are currently being link with every DM in the market but they want us to believe Enzo is a DM, can we have 100 million DM and still be linked with so many DM?
That alone shows Enzo is not going to the season as DM.

I get it sha agenda must agend.

Nor mind them. Truth is staring them in the face but because it’s Hensben let’s attack him by asking foolish questions. If truly they know football, aside position of players how about their ability, isn’t it obvious Enzo is not the regista type because he likes to move forward with the ball which make him a CM.

BlueAngel444:
lol semple quession dem ass u

Watch how your player plays and not just position. Jorginho played with Kante who carried him(a world class player) who is Enzo playing with?

raumdeuter:
Simple question was Jorginho a deep lying playmaker or a tackler?

Jorginho is a regista which is also DLP and can only function in that position unlike Enzo that progress play from deep so he is a CM or will you call Xavi DLP. Enzo and Jorginho are different type of players

raumdeuter:
When Jorginho played for Chelsea or Italy was he the deep lying midfielder or tackler?

Enzo actually know how to progress the play from deep unlike Jorginho.

raumdeuter:
Who was the CDM here for Argentina

Enzo was a deep lying playmaker, De paul was the tackler.
