Murder.

The circumference of blood spray on the wall indicates he was shot right beside the wall and dragged to his current position.

If he had shot himself where his body is positioned, there will be a wider circumference of blood spray on the wall.

Before 2007 Wenger didnt ply anything tiki taka
Arsenal started tikitaka from post 2004 when Fabregas replaced Vieira and further in 2005 when Hleb came in. By 2006, it was ingrained in them. They only ditched it for the UCL run in 2006.

Chelsea for kukuma sign the African Peter Crouch, Michael Uchebo. He is currently clubless and would accept £5k per week.

BBC sport reporting on bid for Peter Crouch

Conte wants a clear Plan B as not much changes in style of play with Batsman when he comes in.

After going through the wrangle of having to carry a useless Carroll for years on contract, I have been browbeaten into accepting Crouch on a 6 month contract with an element of relief.

I heard towards USA 94 when we were scurrying the entire Europe for players with Nigerian link even if their plane ever flew over Nigeria or saw a documentary of Nigeria on the discovery channel

That was when we started digging up John Salako, Efan Ekoku Chris Armstrong, Dion Dublin Reuben Agboola etc. That was when every Albino like Ibime and Abbey George started claiming Nigeria
Agboola finished with Nigeria after Senegal 92. He was not jumping on no bandwagon, neither was Ekoku. Both had been with the squad long before World Cup, playing in AFCON qualifiers etc.

But Ibime is good though, almost as good a campaign manager as Dayo. He successfully initiated a one man campaign against Emenalo on this forum and in the blink of an eye a large number of fans here had joined the bandwagon.

I think it is high time you guys shift your laser focus to Marina G. She should be the new fall guy/gal LOL
Ibime is the most balanced reporter on Chelsea transfer dealings on this thread.

I have always followed my club well, and know who is responsible for which signing and which strategy.

I have never accused Emenalo of something he didn't do, and never failed to absolve him of transfers he didn't make eg Torres, Luiz which were Roman preference and Bakanonsense which was Conte preference. I also always provided links proving Emenalo reticence to improve the midfield including his heated arguments with RDM and Benitez over the matter, and never accused him without evidence.

I also follow the powerplays at Chelsea and know who is in favour, for example I provided evidence way back in 2010 that Emenalo was Romans go to man, and that the TD of the time Frank Arnesen was becoming powerless, providing the signing of Ramires in 2010 on Emenalos recommendation as evidence. In the same way I knew Emenalo was losing power in 2015 and reported on it.

As far as this Carroll transfer goes, I can confirm this is a Conte request after much research. Benteke was also on his list. That is the profile of striker Conte prefers, following from his preponderance for the likes of Llorente and Lukaku whom he requested, and his love for Graziano Pelle etc. I have also gone back to read on Conte's effusive praise of Andy Carroll a year ago when we were about to play West Ham and the picture is clear in my head, buttressed by several other reports that Conte asked for Carroll and Benteke in order to send Batsman on loan.

Following on from his Bakayoko and Zappacosta transfers, Conte's choices in the transfer market is becoming appalling and almost verging on the sackable. I can understand a short-term loan move, but if he selfishly pushes for permanent transfer of a player who is not fit to clean Tammy Abraham's boots who will be available to us in 6 months, then I may join the Conte out brigade.

If Chelsea have any sense and looking for backup striker so they can send Michy on loan before world cup, there are a plethora of options much better than Carroll without disturbing the bank account too much

eg

Recall Loic Remy
Ask West Ham for Diafra Sakho
Even ask Everton for Niasse
Ask Leicester for Iheanacho (I would actually sign him outright cos he can displace Morata sef)

Not going to price striker that West Ham are hoping and praying to get off their wagebill for free, then soon as they see Chelsea interest they start talking £20m

I haven't seen any official confirmation of Carroll transfer. Una want fear me. I dey disregard that wicked rumour till I see am on BBC jare.

It's like the press are trying to tarnish the image of our club and paint us as clueless bozos by linking us with that big lump

Andy Carroll transfer is proof that Emenalo was the one making transfers in the past.

We know it's not the manager, and at least with Emenalo, we know we can expect a Demba Ba or Loic Remy not bloody Andy Carroll

Are Can and Wijaldum elite level? Hell No? Do I want them ? Hell No! Despite this, will they upgrade Yoko and Drinkwater? Absolutely!
I want Can and Wijnaldum oh. Forget story. Especially Wijnaldum.

In the past 7 years, Chelsea have only signed two functional midfielders - Kante and Matic.

Maybe Drinkbleach but that remains to be seen.

Still not interested in Oxlade in midfield. I'm looking for a midfielder that can play in a midfield 2, not interested in a 3rd midfielder type.

Can I'm a fan of.

I feel Nateevs defence boils down to a simple analogy - The fact one is driving Innoson (Donkeyoko) does not mean he should accept any Peugeot (Oxlade) when he has money to go to market and buy Benz.

Ibime was it that Debruyne didn't play midfield today since he was the reason for their defence
He is the reason City stay on the front foot and teams don't attack their defence. Once you attack their defence, Otamendi and Stones will start dancing one corner. Can't wait for City to face Barca in UCL. Fraudiola will be disgraced and exposed again.

Now liverpool has shown everyone how its done.

Mancity's defense is shit as ever.
They attack too much for anyone to notice the flaws in their defence.
Tell Raumdeuter who was hailing Stones and Otamendi last week.

I still said we would soon see Otamendi dancing one corner.

lordfalcao:
what were other attackers doing last season. Shebi they were waiting on Costa like nihilist is waiting on morata. Nihilist is telling us the teams problem is because of Morata
They took out Pedro and put an AM in the team (Donkeyoko) that only has 4 league goals and assists. An AM!

Only because that same AM was brought to play Matic role and failed, so now Pedro has to be sacrificed as none of them can play 2 man midfield.

Nihilist:
Tell thst to morata who has been directly responsible for more dropped points than any other chelsea player this season.

Add hazard to the list too as he was a striker in a 343 for a couple of games and he didnt score.
Costa went on leave of absence last season from January to season-end, only scoring 6 goals from January to May and we still finished on 93 points.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by Ibime(m): 12:33pm On Jan 14, 2018
The case of Matic is like Cahill. A 6.5 or 7/10 player who is not everyones cup of tea but who does his job and understands the system. There are 3 or 4 players that could have comfortably replaced Matic (Cahill) last transfer window with no sweat. Unfortunately, desperation and lack of tactical knowledge led some people right from last season to start calling for Michael Hector (Fabregas) to replace him, then compounded in the summer by signing another Djilobolodji (Bakayoko) as a so-called upgrade. We would not be talking tactical conversation right now if Michael Hector and Djilobolodji could perform their basic function.

Ogbeni i aint got time for dusty argument this morning

We've played 343 thirteen times in the league this season, won 9, drew 2

That's 11/13.

So i dont know what you're talking about.
Against who?

9 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses is 29 points.

Which puts you on course for an 85 point season.

Last season we made 93 points against all teams, big and small.

This record is 85 points if we only played against the smallest teams in the league.

This is a pitiful record.

Nihilist:
In my opinion, which Conte agrees with, even when we play 343, we are more defensively solid than we were last season, so any argument about bakayoko or fab not being able to play 2 man midfield is dust.
We have not played 3-4-3 against any decent team this season, only relegation candidates that don't create chances.

No English you speak will absolve the incompetence of Donkeyoko and Fibreglass which we warned repeatedly about and have been vindicated.

Wisdom from the mouth of Lordfalcao.

lordfalcao:
This season we have been playing big teams with 3-5-2 because conte doesn't trust any of fab or bakayoko to do what matic was doing with kante. This is what kante vs matic did all through last season against bigger teams without qualms. Now we have to pack midfield like sardine before playing a decent game against a better side.

undecided

Seem some Chelsea Fans are arguing with Emotion instead of being critically objective?! Though Conte ain't to be wholly blamed, but he must definitely share from the Blames.

Nothing is wrong with the Formation - 3 - 5 - 2 or 3 - 4 - 3 - rather the Personnel executing it. Conte needs to play the right Players in the Midfield.

I suggest he tries out Kante and Drinkwater Pivot in a 3 - 4 - 3 Setting with Morata, Hazard and Pedro/Willian in Attack.
Correct. Personnel is the only difference. Drinkbleach is our last roll of the dice but I'm not holding my breath.

lordfalcao:
last season fab was throwing passes while coming from the bench, they told us it was what we are missing. This season he has been handed a more advanced role, we don't see the passes, we don't even see a decent job in the midfield.
We even lost the forward drive of Kante this season. Last season, Kante used to burst into opponents final third regularly creating overloads that unsettle the opposition. This season, I can't remember the last time Kante drove forward regularly like that because he is too busy bodyguarding the incompetent Fabregas and Donkeyoko at the back.

I tried to explain last season the the two man midfield is a LCM and RCM arrangement. Matic worked the left-side and Kante the right-side. Both are defensive midfielders primarily with occasional licence to move forward. But some people who knew better were screaming for Fabregas claiming it's a DM and AM arrangement, and that Kante is the DM, so Fabregas should come in to play AM.
