Conte has cuadrado in his plans at chelsea. Ibime may not like this.

Man proposes and God disposes. If I was a betting man, I would tell Conte to forget the Cuadrado he remembered in Italy.

The Cuadrado I saw at Chelsea that looked too intimidated to even trap a ball and will need severe personality transplant to succeed second time around.

Same goes for Baba Rahman. That guy looks like one JJC who just arrived in Europe and looks overawed like he has no self esteem.

I heard Iva, Mikel and RLC were the flops of the match.

And the overawed Baba Rahman (aka better than Nathan Ake) had his usual cringeworthy game and was made to look like an amateur by common Ola Aina.

raumdeuter:
This Kante is he a Conte signing or an Emenalo signing

We Chelsea fans know who signed who, for example take the case of Andre Schurrle who we made bid for in summer 2012 when Mourinho was at Madrid. We know that was an Emenalo signing.

In the case of Kante, we know it's a Conte signing:

"He is a perfect fit in terms of Antonio Conte's philosophies and the style of football he wants to play," added Emenalo.

So we document every signing on a case by case basis. If you want to know, just ask us who follow the club.

Nihilist:
If you don't know then shut up. Don't come here to tell lies and then claim that you are not a liar. Respect yourself

We were having a civil debate, then you came and started calling me a liar instead of simply saying I'm mistaken.

Not like it mattered anyway Akes year in Prem beats both Kimmichs Division 2 and 3 experience combined so I don't know why me making a mistake on how many months Ake spent in Championship changes that. Every scrub in Chelsea academy has played in 3rd division as a minimum so I don't know how that makes Kimmich more experienced than most of our development squad.

Neither do I know what started scratching you to turn the debate abusive. Totally unnecessary. Make we leave am there.

Nihilist:
It's difficult to have a decent conversation with a liar. Before Ake's stint at Watford, his total experience in professional football was 5 games during a 1 month stint at Reading.. How this translates to a 1/2 year in the Championship is beyond me.

I don't want to weaken the debate by arguing semantics here, but please you need to stop telling porkies.

Don't call me a liar nigga. At most tell us it is a lie, or that I am mistaken. Respect yourself please.

bigkesh:
Ake has to be on Alaba and Kimmich's level to displace Baba Rahman that is not on Juwon Oshinawa's level.....Haha,fear God ooo

I tire o.

Nihilist:
Ake is not better than Rahman. I don't know why you guys keep repeating this crap. Ake is not even a left back. He's good defensively but thats it.

Shut up please. I struggle to recall a single game last season where Rahman did not make several mistakes. He was downright cringeworthy.

Nihilist:
Kimmich had 2 full seasons in the German equivalent of the Championship and League 1. Alaba had 3 full seasons professional footy in Germany as well as some Austrian Bundesliga experience before he was ready for the 1st team at Bayern

Ake = 1 year in Prem plus 1/2 year in Championship

Kimmich = 1 year in Bundesliga 2 and 1 year in Bundesliga 3

Please wetin you dey yarn, cos I no understand you.

Even if Ake shines in Bournemouth una go say na small club. Our players who shined in Werder Bremen, Mochengladbach, Everton and West Brom, what happened to them.

Mario Pasalic who shined in Monaco last year, have you created space for him?

When Ake comes back from loan, will you create first team space for him, or won't be still become a squad player that he could be this season - if you get rid of phucking Mikel and Rahman.


Every young player that makes the first team first starts as a squad player. No phucking big team earmarks a place in the first 11 for them. Over the season they take their chances like Harry Kane, Eric Dier, Kimmich etc.

After Bournemouth he will still come and be a squad player. You are yarning opaks about him getting more experience when phucking Rahman and Mikel are still being relied on. Are we discussing the needs of Chelsea or another club?

cloudgoddess:
What a ridiculous and utter waste of money.

Do you know how much that guy would make turning this into a tourist attraction? See for yourself how the ship is full of visitors.

Nihilist:
Well, obviously Emenalo is responsible for finding homes for loanees so no surprises there. But like I said earlier, there is simply no way that Conte doesn't have a good idea about what he wants and what he's missing from the squad...especially in midfield, otherwise he would not be chasing Kante and Naingollan even before he resumed at Chelsea.

There is no doubt that Conte knows what he is missing. . . . that has never been the question. . . . the question has always been that Emenalo has no clue what he is missing. . . . and who could possible help from his development squad.

Nihilist:
From the looks of it, it's like both the boy and the club see his future at midfield. Eddie Howe said it. Seems like Conte and Emenalo see it the same way. Now considering that Ake has only played 1 full season of professional football in his career, and mostly at left back, why is it incompetent to send him off on loan to develop in that position?

We currently have Matic, Mikel, Fabregas, and RLC in the first team. Oscar could potentially be playing in CM too this season(if he's not sold). We're not in Europe this season and so there is less scope for rotation. Also there is going to be a lot of pressure on Conte to significantly improve on a 10th place finish and get us back in to the top 4, so I doubt that he would have been keen to train up a rookie in that position this season.

Either way, if Ake stayed, there is no way he would have got minutes in Central midfield.

I find it quite interesting that Ake would have been your 3rd choice midfielder when he has barely played there for most of his career, and the matches he did play in that position were not shown on telly, so you would probably have been unable to watch him do so anyway....

Yet the guy whose job it is to follow the lad's career is incompetent for sending him out on loan to develop as a midfielder.

All this one na English. Ake played half a season in midfield for Reading and won 5 MOTM awards there plus he played a few games there for Chelsea and impressed. I even remember one of those matches where he was brought on to kill a game and you Nihilist commented that Mikel is finished that Benitez trusts Ake over him. I got elephant memory gee!


With Matic and Kante there, Ake would still be next in line. Conte no send Fabregas.

Ake is currently the best left-back at Chelsea. All this grammar no go help matter. Did Emenalo not want him to develop as a midfielder when he sent him to Watford to play Left-Back last season?

A young player would take any position to establish himself in a top team and does not care whether it is midfield or left back.

If you ask the boy today to stay and take the no3 shirt, he would prefer that than going on loan to play midfield. Alaba did not argue when he got chance to establish himself at Bayern as a left-back, neither does Kimmich complain when he is played right-back. They both see themselves as midfielders.

Ake came to Chelsea as a centre-back sef, then learned midfield and left-back work. It is not like he is picky.

Ake is currently our no1 leftback. Chelsea does not have a leftback solution within the team other than him. What are we discussing here, Chelsea's needs or the needs of another club?

Emenalo is just trying to protect his flop signing Baba Rahman.

A few weeks ago I actually posted this:



Of course Emenalo detractors would argue that Ake could have been given a chance in midfield this season, but considering that we have Matic and Fab in place, with Kante(possibly) to come, I genuinely think that this is a great opportunity for the boy to get some substantial EPL experience in central midfield under minimal pressure. Hope it goes well for him.

I knew you'd quote this. . . . infact it proves the exact opposite, namely Conte does not know the boy, has never spoken to him and Emenalo made the call.

Hear him. . . .

"I think he wants to see me play a season there in the Premier League. . ."

Ake THINKS. . . . he is only second guessing because he has never spoken to Conte. He is surmising that Conte does not know him, and will be looking at him this season.


"The manager has been in discussions with the technical director (Michael Emenalo) at Chelsea. After this season, we'll see how I get on"

That is the decision maker there . . . Michael Emenalo. . . . FRONT AND CENTRE. . . . Conte will naturally discuss with Emenalo if there are any development players that Emenalo thinks is ready. It is up to Emenalo to put forward the names. In Ake's case, Emenalo does not think he is better than our current options and advised this course of action. Conte does not know Ake.

Even if Kante signs today, Ake is my third choice DM and first choice LB. If you sign a leftback, he is 2nd choice left-back and 3rd choice DM. Whichever way you cut it, INCOMPETENCE is Emenalo's name.

Ilkay Gundogan sat 5 yards away from me here

diggz:
Abeg who knows the 19yrs old Santos striker, Gabriel barbosa, from Brazil?

He's not a striker. He's a crap selfish winger who can't pass the ball or see a teammate. All he does is cut inside from the right wing and shoot on his left foot like Andros Townsend. . . .or like Depay.

Another Emenalo special.

So we should all go to Niger delta and dig till we find what to eat abi. under ur nose burantashi has enriched himself.

Buratai enriched himself under Jonathans nose as Head of procurement.

Those properties were bought in GEJ time.

bigkesh:
Diawara is Aston villa level,didn't you know?



We should sign both....Diawara is Essien 3.0

Diawara has been linked with Chelsea. . . infact his club fear he is trying to force a move to Chelsea as he hasn't returned for preseason.

Kante deal seems to be solidifying.

It woulda been good if we coulda grabbed Lucas Digne ahead of Barca as well. He would rather have come here for first team footie than go ride bench at Barca.

Dab2mydick:
Good afternoon everyone, I have an issue troubling me that I hardly sleep these past few days. For about 4 days ago, I slept and woke up with my left ear blocked, as in blocked I could hardly hear with it.

At first I took it as nothing serious, could be that water mistakenly got into it while I was showering, or could be the normal stuff that happens once in a while to which I'd have to yawn and it pops up but no! It didn't open up till the whole day went by and am getting scared already as it getting worse by the day.. I have used chloramphenicol eardrop but it's not helping matters at all.. I just bought oto-med eardrops today and hoping something good happens but still, I want to know if anyone had this issue in the past, how did u solve it

And Pls doctors and specialists in the house, help me out on this cos it's frustrating my life already. Pls pls and pls I beg u all.


Modified, pls help me move this to front page, thank you.

Go and ask your Doctor for a microsuction.

I had the same issue and microsuction cleared it in 2 minutes.

Raumdeuter, A40

How do you rate Hojberg, say in comparison to Rode

amodu:
Rumour surfaced today that Chelsea tabled a bid of €40m for him.

I meant such players are £10m players that every squad needs, not £40m!!!

The man is dead when he thinks that the word of God is a disturbance. @Ibime, since you don't want hear the word of God from this woman and even wish her death, you will soon hear from armed robbers after which you will compare hearing from the messengers of God and that of Satan.

Na so one of my cousin talk go dey disturb one neighbourhood at 5am. The way the boys take brush am that morning ehn.

Abeg you religious nutjobs should respect people's personal space and stop invading us with megaphones at 4.30am in the morning.

Na so the religious mumuness enter this lady, she pick megaphone dey shout at Abóki and Boko people.

How I wish those Boko boys go visit her.

#Legend

raumdeuter:
Assuming we are to go by the nonsense you are saying you mean 8 central defenders made it to the semi including EPL legends like Kosileyin, Ashley WIlliams, And Fonte

EPL Legends indeed.

Oh what an achievement by Boateng to beat those three fellas

See as this ninja is fellating over Boatengs first individual international accolade in his career. Something Terry did in World Cup 2006 and nobody even commented.

raumdeuter:
If we are to go by your reasoning then what is Ramsey who played neither the semi nor finals doing there? Come up with more excuses sir

Ramsey reached the semifinal.

Every single player there is a semifinalist.

The only competition Boateng is up against is Ashley Williams or Jose Fonte and their name no reach.

raumdeuter:

if you never buy data go buy data, I am about to launch my Boateng dance gifs

This award only considered semifinalists. Of course he would be among. Only Jose Fonte or Ashley Williams can take that spot from him.

If you include quarterfinals, then Italian defenders would push him out.

Chelsea now loan out coaches

Under 21 coach Andy Myers loaned out to Vitesse

raumdeuter:
regarding the world cup Thats what Boateng has that no Chelsea nor Man utd defender can boast of

Frank Lebeouf says Hi!

Boring:
Rui Patrício the Portuguese keeper

He was a bit shaky in earlier rounds

My team of the tournament

-----------------------Buffon

----------Bonucci------Pepe-------Chiellini

----------------Kroos------------------Ramsey

Bale-------------------Payet-----------Hazard

---------------Ronaldo-------Griezmann


My 4th defender woulda been Boateng!

This guy sums up what I've always felt about Pogba in one post.

elrony:
pity Moyes!....

van Goat should be shot multiple times at close range!!!!

Sold Nani for £3m, Rafael for £2m and Hernandez for £8m, and all their replacements were crap.

These are multiple EPL winners. You don't get rid of such characters and experience from your squad all at once. Their experience and self-belief alone is worth millions.

airmark:
Those are team achievements, how many times would you be disgracing yourself with this. He did nt make team of the tournament , despite winning the cups. That shows how unimpressed every right-thinking soccer lovers/experts were with his performances, except you and some other id,iots.

This is what defines a legend, not once in a blue moon performances :

With the way Pepe and Ramos played this season, no FIFPRO spot for Boateng once again.

Every squad needs a player like Joao Mario. A hardworker capable of playing almost every position on the pitch, yet very understated.

Van Gaal and Moyes should be shot for chasing Nani out of Old Trafford. No winger they have signed since can lace his boots.
