Can you make up your mind, You claimed Barca wasnt going to sell Xavi, Xavi said Barca was going to sell him

Xavi claimed the previous coach told him he was too small to play for Barca

Xavi told us he was shopping for a new club and Bayern actually wanted him

Xavi told us Guardiola came and convinced him to stay

All these with verifiable links

So what exactly is your problem

I have no problem except your attempt to paint Guardiola as the making of Xavi.

Barcelona can never attempt to sell Euro 2008 Player of the Tournament even if mugu Rijkaard had wanted to sell him before.

The lies you are spinning here are akin to a new manager joining Man City, using Aguero to win league and then claiming he made Aguero just because Guardiola wanted to get rid of him last season. Some dickryder will then come and tell us that manager made Aguero and point to Guardiola trying to get rid of him as proof.

This is similar to your lies that Spain used Guardiolas tikitaka format to become successful when Aragones had already implemented tikitaka to win Euro 2008 before Guardiola became manager.

Stop telling lies and riding Pep dïck.

Who should we believe, the words in your own head or the words from the mouth of Xavi himself

Xavi was the best player in Europe before Guardiola. I'm not interested in your transfer stories. I'm interested in your lies that Guardiola made Xavi.

sleekdot:
If I ask you what is the lie now, you will start stammering like an Arab commentator after Ronaldo scores a goal

Barcelona can never sell a player who just won Euro player of the tournament. On the day Guardiola took his first training session, Xavi was the best player in Europe. So stop telling us stories like he was a nonentity before Guardiola. This is how you lied to us that Guardiola tiki-taka style influenced Spain National team when Luis Aragones had won Euro 2008 with tiki-taka before Guardiola started as a manager.

sleekdot:
Before Guardiola came to Barcelona how was Xavi doing? Xavi was actually on his way out because the previous coach told him he was too small to play football

You can lie oh. Before Guardiola became manager, Xavi had just won Euro 2008 and was voted best player of the tournament.

I was hoping Bakanonsense really failed his medical sef.

Zouma loan fee is rumoured to be £7m.

One more loan will pay off his transfer fee.

A midfield of Baka, Kante, matic and fab is balance bro.

Matic is gone. He refused to sign new contract. He is currently training alone which is the usual procedure for a player about to be sold, so as not to injure himself.

So the midfield is Baka, Kante and Fab4.

That's a bit light. I expect Baker will be the 4th player this year, although I feel Baker needs another loan to toughen up physically.

airmark:
Since there's buy-back clause in chalobah's deal, no cause for alarm. Mine is for the club to buy effective players, not rejects from other clubs. Since we have learnt from lukaku's case, some of these boys should go and come back when they are ready.

As long as there is buyback, I'm fine with it too.

Nemanja Matic the useless player got all the scouts recommending him.

Not like those who only go to China, or the one that was in UEFA team of the year, only 22 years old, yet only Chelsea would be chasing him for £40m

Griffon:
If Chalobah can't stay at the club to fight for his place, then he isn't good enough as we've been made to believe. If he can't stay to stake a claim in the League Cup, FA Cup and dead rubber games he'd feature, then he isn't good enough.

When did Nath even become Chelsea's level BTW?

A player who couldn't nail down a place at Napoli and host of low-level sides, is all of a sudden Chelsea level?

He was offered a deal, but the lad chose to chicken out. I can't be worried!

A club that had Mikel and Ramires manning midfield for 4 years (and soon to have Bakanonsense) can never claim Chalobah is not up to standard!

Nihilist:
I never saw anything Chalobah played to suggest he was better than me, and I'm an overweight 30 year old chainsmoker with 2 dodgy knees, a reconstructed hip and a bad back..

Even if all the above is true, still better than Bakayoko.

A midfielder that can't trap a ball?

That's like a Harlem nigga with no bread.

A Harlem nigga with no bread?

That's like a pïmp with no hoes.

Or the Holy Bible without Christ.

That's like Harlem without Big L.

Chalobah is better than Bakayoko. What a shame.

I swear this is similar to what happened to me after an inter-departmental match i played. I couldnt remember anything for like 50 secs, a friend in front of me almost started crying. I was just saying 'i am finished ' ' i am finished help me, i cant remember anything'. It was scary.

That's a different one from oxygen. That's a concussion. I once took a standing concussion going up for a corner. It didn't knock me out but it wiped my memory completely for 30 minutes. We were playing far away in South West London, Berrylands, home of King's College, near Kingston to be precise. I travelled there from my home in Edmonton, North-Central. I let out a scream like someone bust my head open and I was gonna die. But I didn't fall. I kept on playing, and didn't even remember my name or who I am again.

To cut a long story short, after about 15 mins, I realised I must be far away from home and didn't know where I would be going after the match as I forgot where I lived. The thought made me panic that my memory would never return so I started crying. That's when my teammates came and started reminding me of my name, what course I am studying, what year I am in etc. I was still crying though cos nothing could register. What made me calm down was I suddenly remembered that I had stopped by a family friend's house in Kingston on my way to the match, so I said worse case scenario, I will go to her house after the match, then she can call my people to come and take me home, and I would be straight from there. So I took heart and stopped crying. Slowly through the match my short term memory started returning, then eventually my long term returned also. By the time the match ended, I was back to myself fully.

So many quack doctors in the house.

Doctor done already tell Una say he collapsed with cardiac issue, the brain damage was a secondary problem caused by lack of oxygen to the brain after he collapsed. Una still dey speculate blunt trauma and neuro issues.

I once knew a girl who was oxygen deprived during her birth. A very beautiful girl, but those few minutes of oxygen starvation meant she had no retentive memory. She could not remember what happened yesterday, and had to write everything down to recall them, some of the basic things we take for granted. It was a sad situation cos this girl fine pass Beyonce and Alicia Keys put together.

Bimffo:
Nobody is talking about Lewis Baker here.

Even if we have forgotten Pasalic, why would anyone forget Baker. The guy should be handed a Jersey number.

I will take Baker over Bakanonsense.

2 footed, strong at set-pieces and a generally good baller.

I hope Conte gets it right with him.

Or what do you think, Nihilist, Griffon, Ibime, Airmark, Timbros, Bigkesh, Nateevs, Nitlad, Diggz and important thread owners.

Bakers only problem currently is physical. Speed and stamina lacking.

Belotti plays like a young Tevez with more pace. I like him.

airmark:
I understand that angle, but i believe he has learnt his lessons. Drogba advised him and he respects him alot. I believe he has turned a new leaf. Good that you didnt right him off based on quality.

Elijah Mohammed and Mohammed Ali advice and mentorship did not stop Mike Tyson from biting Holyfield ear. Make we just leave Aurier where him dey abeg. Trouble dey sleep, yanga go wake am.

airmark:
The guy will join man utd, barca or juve. He is from fcckin cote d'ivoire, not a german or brazilian according to emenalo boys here.

We don't need any Aurier. If you think Costa is a madman, try Aurier. Someone that can go on Snapchat and tell the whole world that his teammate is rubbish.

Football is not computer game. There is something called personality that factors in.

Mukina2 done open thread?

bigkesh:
Considering the way Conte wants out front 3 to play,I think Morata fits us best.....He is fluid and he has the finesse,but he doesn't guarantee goals,at least not yet

If we get him we should play him as a SS or play a SS alongside him,it is obvious he can't lead as a lone striker

We don't have a solid CF that he can support or a player that can support him ........Even if we do unless we are playing 4-2-4 with him then that means Hazard,Pedro and William are out of the XI
And if we are playing 4-2-4,we don't have the CBs and LB to succeed with that set up...


Morata is a no go abeg,we don't have what it takes to accommodate him....His signing will mean more singings, whether another CF or another LB and RB......I think this is what Conte has in mind,that why we have been linked with guys like Sandro(a proper LB) and Llorente(someone Morata can support) and a solid CB


4-2-4 seems to be Conte's vision

Morata does not have the passion of a striker.

He is not ready to hustle to get to that ball by all means.

My only hope is that can be developed in a player, depending on his mental make-up.

Some players can turn to beasts overnight if you put them in a league where they have to embrace physicality. I still remember my first match in England having grown up playing monkey-post all my life. I could not believe football was played like this. Rest assured, by the next match, I was the most aggressive mudaphucka on the pitch.

So you never know, Morata could become aggressive overnight once he lands in England.

Griffon:
You have a peripatetic brain airmak but it's a good thing bud. Not everyone is gifted with wandering thoughts

The emboldened is you struggling to understand why you don't need Rudiger at Chelsea. You are torn between understanding why we paid 34mil for the nigga and how the useless nigga is NOT going to strengthen our backline.

Can we break it down?

1. The Price Isn't Right: According to you, paying 34m for Rudiger is us getting magad. Now I am asking you, do you have an estimation which takes into account the inflationist trend of transfer fees?

Do you have an explanation to why Southampton are holding out 60million for Van Virgil Dijk, Napoli holding out 60million for Koulibaly, Swansea holding out 50million for Sigurdsson, Belotti valued at 88million, Morata valued at 75million, Mbappe valued at 100million, Lemar valued at 60million? What are your explanations to why these average players have got high price tag dangling on their necks?

Conversely, don't you think getting an equally average player like Rudiger at 34m is shrewd business?

2. Rudiger Isn't Going To Strengthen Us: You know this how?

Whoscored.com highlightes "Committing too many fouls and delivering poor crossing" as Rudiger major weaknesses, now tell me, how bad is that? We are not playing a high-line and Rudy isn't going down the flanks, meaning his two major flaws are most likely to be mitigated at Chelsea.

I have been following this guy a long time to know that the only blot on his copybook is rash defending. He is dominant in the air, excellent on the ball, solid, composed in every sense, wins back possession and recycles it. But NO, he is no better than Gary Cahill.

So what are your assessment about his qualities and what makes him a very stupid defender as you put it?

Answers on a postcard please.

The simple answer to all these questions is Rudiger is German and his role model is Boateng. That is like a red rag to a bull. Airmark being the bull.

We will not take it!

Correct me if I'm wrong but Christensen is a RCB.

In that case I see Azpi going over to LCB to compete with Cahill cos that RCB is too populated.

With all the CBs we now have, we coulda pushed Azpi to RWB to compete with Moses.

hensben:
Manolas is like Bernatia, nothing special just some rigorous tackle. Rudiger is better and will even improve more under Conte.

Nope, Manolas is technically more gifted. Bear in mind, we are thinking about a back 3 that needs technically accomplished players. In a back 4, Kurt Zouma is a great defender. In a back 3, he is trash.

The technique that would be required for a back 3 is what makes Manolas more desirable than Rudiger.

Chelsea fans have to realise that Azpilicueta made the highest no of passes in the league last season bar none. That means the job of a back 3 defender is to help the midfield dominate possession as we play with only 2 midfielders.

In terms of just defending, I probably rate them similar. Technique is the differential.

sinizia:
Lol. The person you're explaining this to was just out to troll you nothing else.

My post is for the Chelsea fans to gain insight on the Rudiger deal, not for that scumtwat.

lordfalcao:
you don come again with this emenalo yarns, like say you dy work for board..

So now its not longer conte that asked for rudiger but emenalo buys?

Read and understand. Emenalo link is coincidental. Conte will not split hairs over Manolas or Rudiger. Either is good enough for him. He just needs an established defender. Same way he will not split hairs between Lukaku and Morata, he just needs a striker.

My only point there is that Roma used Chelsea's long standing interest in Rudiger to sell us an unsellable asset while keeping the sellable one, not all this nonsense you are interpreting about Emenalo.

Every clubs purpose in the transfer market is to keep their best assets and sell you their trash. We just should have stood firm and insisted on Manolas or nothing.

As it stands, Roma will now sell Manolas next year without any problem, and for this year they have raised the same amount of cash by forcing us into a decision on Rudiger. If not that they played us, they would have had to sell their best defender (Manolas) this year to raise cash, and they would still struggle to find buyer for Rudiger next year with his injury history. We have solved their problems for them.

Read and understand.

airmark:
Barca, real and juve now chasing manolas, roma is refusing to sell him, unlike rudiger they quickly pushed to us.

Nihilist:


Oboy we don buy market o

Ho Lee Chit.

Make Zaha no catch this guy one on one o..

Nah Rudiger can defend. This is an anomaly. My only koko is whether he is comfortable on the ball like you need in a back three. I know he can throw long passes but I doubt he can give-I-give like Azpi and them to help the two man midfield.

PietroRico:
how about the claim that Roma knowing they could only sell rudiger to chelsea, convinced you about andoning a manolas that was practically sold to zenit before to get rudiger instead

That is how transfers work. It happens all the time. A club needing to sell a player to balance the books will offer you another player that they are happy to sell even though you approached them for a different player. It is not uncommon to go ask for example Monaco for Fabinho, and Monaco will respond saying actually we would like to keep Fabinho but we can make Bakayoko available for X amount.

That's how Leeds phoned Man Utd to discuss Denis Irwin and before they knew it, Leeds intimated to them the availability of Cantona.

I surmise that Chelsea made an enquiry for Manolas. Roma, knowing that Chelsea hold a long-standing interest in Rudiger took Manolas off the market and offered Rudiger instead which Chelsea were happy to go with because they need an established defender anyway. If they miss both Manolas and Rudiger, they might not find a defender till window close.

It's like a barefooted person coming to your shop to buy shoe, but you offer him slippers instead because he is the only person that has ever shown interest in buying slippers. Meanwhile you know you can sell the shoe at any time because many people are showing interest in shoe.

This man and he in house emenalo related exclusive again

Nothing in-house here, unless you have been living under a rock. It is no secret that Rudiger was chased heavily by Emenalo in 2015 but Jose insisted on John Stones.

I dont know who is pulling all these strings to slight me . Barca, real and juve now chasing manolas, roma is refusing to sell him, unlike rudiger they quickly pushed to us. Big teams know who they need to upgrade.

Roma pulled a maga deal out of Chelsea on Rudiger.

Roma needed to sell one of Rudiger or Manolas to balance the books. Roma could only flush out a bid for Manolas initially and none for Rudiger. When Manolas deal to Zenith fell through, Chelsea came asking. Roma knowing that Manolas will always have market asked them to buy Rudiger instead. Rudiger does not have market except Chelsea (Emenalo has been chasing Rudiger since 2014).

Rudiger has also had 3 knee operations and has been having injuries since Stuttgart days which spoils his market.

Win-Win for Roma, they now have a buyer for Rudiger and know they can also sell Manolas at any time since there is a big market for him.
