All na badluck mostly after leaving Chelsea

By the time Sturridge started getting injured, accountants have already written off £100m sunk cost in Torres who the Technical Director frustrated Sturridge out for.

He deserve a drink. . . spiked with rat poison

We dodged a bullet with Sturridge though.

If Emenalo was responsible for that, I will buy him a drink.
The same Sturridge that was challenging golden boot and scoring every game as soon as we sold him while some of una been dey defend Torres.

The same Sturridge that formed the most lethal strike partnership in EPL in the last 20 years. .


Na last 2 years injury give una mouth to talk.

Ride on. . .

If Di Matteo and Di Matteo alone won the champions League then its logical to say Di Matteo and Di matteo alone crashed out of the CL the same season


If Mourinho alone was responsible for your success last yr then its logical that Mourinho alone is responsible for the failure this year

You cant take the praise and push away the blame
Di Matteo and Di Matteo alone won the UCL because that was a team that finished 6th in the Premiership.

A team he was given at 3-1 down to Napoli and turned around with miraculous tactics.

Save all the platitudes for the eediots.

I don't claim to know what goes on behind the scene. If we must blame Eminalo, we must also blame other management staff including the manager and Roman.
Roman doesn't strike me as one who would allow people make decisions if he doesn't have full confidence in them. We all know Roman isn't stupid.
Seems you and Eminalo beef na from wey back in naija cheesy
Our conversation was not about this season. Our conversation was why so much talent got wasted so I had to tell you why Lukaku, Sturridge and many wingers got wasted at the club.

We will dissect this season fully in the fullness of time but I blame this season's failure on Mourinho's personality. We should be 4th place (which is where Emenalo put us, a perpetual 4th place team).


Now, I take great umbrage when people make statements like "Roman knows what he is doing".

The first match Roman ever watched was Man Utd vs Real Madrid in 2003.

I knew more about football when I was 10 years old than Roman knows now.

Roman can be fooled tactically by any eediot.

Ibime. What are the signings that Mourinho the coach is responsible for?

And what are the failures of Chelsea tactics, personel and transfers that Mourinho is at fault for?
The team we have this season should be around about 4th position.

The failure this season is due to Jose's implosion in personality and relationships and a poor pre-season planning, made worse by a poor midfield that coulda helped the situation.

I am talking more long term here. Emenalo is an underlying problem, the kind of ninja that puts Chelsea permanently in a state of imbalance and 4th place. The discussion here is why many good wingers left the club, not why we are struggling this season.

Many wingers left the club because you cannot play 7 wingers at the same time.

cos you know you would get buried!

chelsea fans like you whose tongues has a permanent residency in mourinho's anäl cavity despise me. it's never jose's fault, it must always be someone else in the upper hierarchy!

emenalo tendered his resignation when chelsea were about to sign mourinho, abramovic himself declined the request and reaffirmed emenalo is the reason chelsea are successful and jose must work under him.

let the media be filling your head with nonsense. emenalo is more important to roman than mourinho. emenalo won everything that needed to be won before jose's second coming. jose would leave before he does!
I would not have that conversation with you because you are dumb enough to attribute our successes to Emenalo

You might as well tell us Frank Arnesen won 2006 EPL.

Di Matteo and Di Matteo alone won Champions League.

We got knocked out in UCL group stage the next season as our midfield was raped by all and sundry.


Emenalo's teams are known for worrying about 4th place finish all season.

Jose won the league last season.

Di Matteo’s relationship with technical director Michael Emenalo was already strained, but it was stretched to the limit by the pressure to get Torres among the goalscorers.
Some sympathised, but others were openly questioning the motivation of a striker who was once regarded as the best finisher in world football.

Upstairs in his office at the club’s Cobham training centre and puffing on cigarettes out on the balcony, Di Matteo frequently discussed Torres’ form with assistants Eddie Newton and Steve Holland.

Benítez has played a poor hand poorly. And yet he started his reign promisingly, signalling straight away that he had identified a major imbalance in the squad that his predecessor, Roberto Di Matteo, had been unable to rectify. Benítez's instant innovation was to shift the centre-back David Luiz into midfield to fill the destabilising void there. The Brazilian duly connected two parts of the team – defence and attack – that had frequently, since the loss of the likes of Michael Essien and Michael Ballack, seemed condemned to toil in isolation, reliant on flashes of individual inspiration to compensate for systemic failure.

•premier league
•UEFA champions league
•UEFA cup
•quintillion domestic cups

he's the most successful director of football in england. i didn't hear your protests when the title was delivered on a platter of gold last season.

all of a sudden, the core players at chelsea lost their way cos they were busy fücking your physio that got sacked.....and you want to hang emenalo for it cos he's the easier target.

That a manager doesn't like a player doesn't make a player 'not good enough'. Bias and sentiments is part of the current problem with Chelsea. We have a manager who has thrown out decent players because of his personal reasons instead of looking out for the overall well being of the club.
We lost Schurrle, Debruyne, Mata, Bertrand, Lukaku and a host of others for no tangible reason. I can imagine if we had these players today, surely we wouldn't be this far down. If Emenalo should go, he should go along with Mourhino.
I find it funny when people follow a club and don't know what's going on. And when I talk, they will act like what I am saying is strange.

Lukaku and Sturridge have been sidelined for a good 2 years before Mourinho stepped foot in the club - that is a club policy to promote Torres no matter what.

A lot of good wingers got thrown out of the club, only due to over-competition in their position - that is a club policy.

2 years before JM ever stepped into the club, the club was overstocked with wingers. That trend continued the same summer JM joined as long-term targets Schurrle, Willian and Atsu were signed. Jose had no hand in it - that is a club policy.

That same summer, we failed with bids for two other wingers - Bruma and Taison - that is a club policy.

Every week, Chelsea are scouting and linked with 3 or 4 wingers. Today sef, we are linked with 2 wingers from Benfica - that is a club policy.

http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/chelsea-transfer-news-benfica-pair-goncalo-guedes-and-talisca-on-blues-radar-a3111641.html

This summer, we didn't get the midfielder that we were looking for - yet two more wingers - Kennedy and Adrian were signed - that is a club policy.

Traore will soon get thrown out along with Kennedy due to too much competition and you will blame Mourinho - but that is a club policy.

Meanwhile the central midfield is starved - great wingers keep getting cut due to unfair competition, yet the most incompetent central midfielders collect shirt every season - that is a club policy.

And when that incompetent midfield fails to protect the defence, the defensive wingers will be favoured due to the unbalanced midfield, and great talents like De Bruyne will be lost because they cannot defend like Willian, Oscar and co. They will get frustrated and leave - that is a direct result of club policy.

Ibime knows who makes which signings and who controls what parts of the club direction. It is not rocket science. I have established clear patterns of behaviour over the last 3 years.

I don't care if Jose is going or not. . . . that is a seperate issue to do with his behaviour. . .

All I know is that for this club to move forward. . . .

Emenalo must go!!!!

First time I saw Bertrand Traore play was as a 14 year old, playing leftback at 2009 Under-17 World Cup.

This is a kid you can vouch for his age from back then.

You can also vouch that hes ready for first team football. This ninja has also been playing for Burkina Faso against akpu edgbewagers in African Nations Cups since he was 15. Even in WC qualifiers, they barely lost out to Algeria in the final qualifier for 2014 WC.

Counting the fact that that he has played left-back, right-wing, left-wing, CAM and striker successfully for his National team and Vitesse, you can tell his football education is sound

A lot of youngsters get hyped at Chelsea but this is the only real deal presently. You cant compare ninjas like Solanke and RLC to him. After Vitesse converted him from right wing to CF in January, he scored a goal every game average. That was similar or better than what Wilfred Bony did for them.

He is the definition of boy wonder. . . Chelsea should not hesitate to rely on him.

Traore at 14 years old in Under-17 World Cup in Nigeria 2009. . .

Depends on how you look at it.

Wickham was so useless up front, that he was moved to the flank to play as a winger for Sunderland. That was where he found some form for them. Unless maybe he was a holding up play winger cheesy

I jest
That even shows versatility as far as I'm concerned.

His physical capacity for hold-up play is unquestionable.

The fact he functioned as a winger only means he has developed more fluid skills to go with his brutish strength.

Nihilist:
That's exactly the point!

Wickham has been practically useless in the 3-4 years he has spent so far in the EPL...yet Bamford can't displace him at Palace.

Would a manager cut his nose to spite his face? Would a manager leave Bamford on the bench if he was a better talent? Read Pardew's statement again....even when the team were struggling to score, Bamford was still not an option.

Says a lot bro
Wickham is far from useless.

I'm sure you know about the Cameron Jerome effect.

It is the same Drogba effect that saw Chelsea winning record 95 points total in 04/05 even though he only scored 10 league goals.

Ninja, strong and mobile hold up play is super effective for Counterattacking football even if the forward is not scoring.

His job is simply to win the long ball and hold the ball up as long as it takes for Bolasie, Zaha and Puncheon to join the attack. It's a deadly phucking weapon.

The aim is for him to be those niggas what Drogba was to Lampard. Bamford cannot provide that.

Nihilist:
Negro please...

Wickham is their 1st choice striker who has now been injured.

Sako came in at 10 when Bolasie's father died.

Gayle got the red card at Westham and has always been 3rd choice.

"We've really missed Connor, we've lost him since we beat Chelsea, and I think his presence through the middle has been a factor in us not getting more points than we've got,' said Pardew just before the Liverpool game.

Anyway, back to Bamford. If as you say, Bamford is not quick, and he's not strong, then what is it he's good for?

Look at what Pardew said about Bamford.

"I spoke to him when he first came to the football club. I said: 'You have to understand that although Middlesbrough is a high level, coming into the Premier League with this team is an even higher level. So you're going to have to work hard at it.'

"Like all young players, they sometimes have to add something to their game to get over that final hurdle. We're a good side – we've proved that. OK, our last results in the last three haven't been what we wanted but the performance level has been there, apart from the Man City game. It's a tough team for him to get in to."


Note that Bamford is being referred to as a 'young player'

Wickham and Bamford are both 22.
Aiite, you're correct.

However it's nothing to do with talent.

Bamford is more Crespo than Drogba. You don't need to be super fast or super strong to be a good striker. However Palace's tactical system demands you are one or the other, preferrably both.

Bamford has above average strength and slightly above average pace. His strength is in poaching and combination play.

That's just the tactics, never mind the politics of favouring your own assets over other clubs assets.

Wickham should tell us how many goals he scored at Championship level so we can compare them adequately.
