Madueke has already left the US to return to England. He couldn't wait till after the final? Lol

Why should he wait. One injury could spoil everything

. Spacing full stop and paragraph no mean anything. If na contract information I write their or I write about payment of money and dropping of account number, you go talk of paragraph? Nigerians to do oversabi, English no be my papa language, my papa language no get paragraph,full stop and spacing. So you either read wetin I write or jump am pass.

Racoon:
What a trophy spree! The Abacha era seem really to be the golden era of Nigerian football especially the Japan 93, Tunisia 94 and Atlanta 1996 football wins.

Abacha actually wasted our golden generation by pulling them out of South Africa 1996 due to small beef with Mandela. That got us banned from AFCON 1998 as well. We would have 2 more AFCON from that squad if not for him. May he continue to rest in pieces

So people dey actually read Theuniverse posts wey no get spacing, full stop or paragraph

Nkunku na one of those bad market wey nobody go even price and na dash you go later dash am out.
Why is no one even checking on him? I think every European team consider him to be retired.

We were making yanga in January when Spurs and Bayern came in for him because Jackson and Guiu were injured. I was shouting that they should take this opportunity as it may never come again, but no they thought they could use him in Jackson and Guiu absence. Even a training cone would have done better

Emaprince:
All Nigerian politicians deserve worst treatement. The west need to prohibit their medical tourism and even bar them from acquiring any property or any kind of business over there.

All the money they loot should be spent here. The health care system they left in deplorable state should also serve them.

Are you joking? Even Saudi, UAE and Kuwait military send all their people to London for Cancer treatment, their militaries actually have a large fund for treatment and were some of our largest payors in the health industry. The reality is that not just cutting edge technology, but the highest Medical expertise and Consultants congregate in certain few locations in the world. Porters 5 forces demand it.

I have met Saudi Princes and many dignitaries in my time in the industry, that's how Pakistan Justice Minister daughter invited my wife and I to Pakistan for her wedding last year after getting to know us when her father died in one of our Hospitals, I said no Sir, no be me Taliban go use as example

lol. That Buju album is the best thing out of Nigeria in 2 years. I listened to it twice back to back and will use it as soundtrack for a 10k race tomorrow

From which season did Chelsea began to decline?

2011 after the exit of Makelele and Ballack and injury to Essien. Chelsea that never got below 83 points with solid midfielders in the 2000s from Roman takeover have only got over 75 points in 2 out of the last 14 years with joggers as starter in our midfield starting from Mikel to Fabregas to Jogginghoe to Enzo

Chelsea that only failed to reach semifinal of UCL once from 2004 to 2009 (knocked out by Barca in 2006) are not even known in UCL since 2012 except the freak win of 2021 occasioned by a change of tactics that took opposition by surprise for a short period

Once you bring joggers into your middle, you become Arsenal of Arsenal Wenger years

Ellexy:
Also them Okafor, Okeke, Okonkwo, Okorie etc

Anything starting with OK is not OK

forgiveness:
Mikel 29!!!? Fabregas don expire. He suffered injury throughout his stay in Monaco. He don expire. Same with Mikel. Forget story. These players won us trophies not trophy, trophies. Show respect mr. man, Abeg.

These players signalled the decline of Chelsea that used to compete for title every year and always reach UCL semi-final. The strong midfielders like Makelele, Ballack, Essien and Lampard

Since these joggers came in, Chelsea has never completed for title except in 2015. To win 2017, the jogger Fabregas had to be dropped for a Matic-Kante solid pairing

lordfalcao:
Chelsea just dy make profit. Signed petrovic total package 14M£. Sold for 25M£

Petrovic sale is a mistake. He is a top top goalkeeper of Chelsea standard

Silentgroper:
Gravenberch specialty with his sleek body feint ..

He does it with ease..

Gravenberch turn is well known, prominent and effective drill for young CDMs learning how to receive the ball under pressure. I always study midfielder half turns on YouTube, the most prominent are Kroos same direction touch, Gravenberch feint, Xavi outside touch spin, Tiago outside touch, De Jong step over turn, Pedro and Foden turns, Busquets Cruyff turn etc

Na only my CDM then Jogginghoe no get turn 😞

forgiveness:
Dude!!! give respect Mikel and Jorginho because they contributed to our successes. People like you will never appreciate Makalele. Besides, the aforementioned players don pass their prime before departing Chelsea. Be guarded.

How did they pass their prime?

Literally guys were begging for Fabregas to play, the next week he was in Monaco stinking the place up

Same with Mikel who just finished a season as starter under Guus Hiddink and was 29 years old. Next week he was in China leading them to relegation

Makelele is my favourite DM of all time, the reason I don't like passengers

nihilistjnr:
Burnaboy has done all kinds of crooked things on this album to crossover, and it is absolutely going to work.
These features were cynically picked to exploit all types of charting algorithms - Travis, Stromae(!!!), Shaboozey.
Then including update and bundle by bundle that have already done tens of millions of streams in the album is going to inflate album sales even further.

But that Shaboozey song is absolutely diabolical work from Burna. Shaboozey is the one doing the heavy lifting and Burna is laughing from his seat in Shaboozey's back pocket. It hits different to see a PH boy recruit an Igbo boy to jointly and audaciously scam their way into the charts with a country song - and no doubt about it, this song is GOING.

Naija people, Burna has left you people behind mehn. The target is world domination at this point, and I must stan. He really just might do it.

Amigoss tears in 3,2,1. . . .

5ive done already lose steam (though I like it), it cannot pick up internationally

Roland17:
Top teams exchange players, most times top players.

Arsenal have bought a total of 13 players directly from Chelsea since PL era. I don't think Chelsea have bought more that 2/3 players directly from Arsenal (I stand corrected). I am not speaking of the likes of Fabregas who joined Barcelona before Chelsea, Aubameyang or Anelka. I am speaking of Ashley "traitor" Cole, & Giroud

In 22 years under Wenger, he got only 4 Chelsea players in Gallas, Bennayoun, Cech and L. Diarra.

Under Arteta, we has nearly doubled that with 7 players in only 6 years. This man is averaging 1 Chelsea player per season.

Worsetill, here is the quality of scrap Arteta has been farming from Chelsea.

Gbavertz
Luiz
Jorginho
Willian
Sterling
Kepa
Madueke

Mudiaga alias "On Colos", the one he lost to Chelsea after a transfer battle would have been on his way to Arsenal if he wasn't banned.

So no, it is not a case of Arsenal historically buying Chelsea players, it is now an irresponsible fetish that reeks of laziness and mediocre mindset.

Thank you for your Service

Gucciboy:
Started with Šeško. Then Gyökeres. Back to Šeško. Again Gyökeres.

Just to keep the fans busy.

Then came Rodrygo. Then Eze.

Realizing none will happen, they shift the hype to Madueke.

Fans grow restless. To calm them, they reignite the Gyökeres saga.

Then quickly sign Madueke.

Meanwhile, Gyökeres remains a fantasy. The director’s been stalling…

Before you know it, Havertz starts Arsenal’s opening game.

Ever reliable Arsenal

Iamoyindamola and Roland17 should come and thank us once again for the assist

Nicolas Jackson interesting AC Milan

Ballzproblemm:
tag ibime directly stop Cutting corners, unlike fraudibeme I have longed accepted my L on my initial take on Enzo,now i dey Stan am like steadily,did we overpay for Enzo? Certainly but he has improved.

See your mouth like Cho Cho Cho. Singapore is my boss who has done me many favours offline and graciously cut me into profitable investments when he didn't have to, so nothing like tag him directly.

E no go better for Spåmbot sha for allowing Enzo5 run riot here and denying me right of reply. I done comot hand for Enzo5 matter

Gucciboy:
You have been crying for enzo Fernandez since morning,what happened? Was Enzo kidnapped?

They think they are in majority here just because I am one of few who shout Enzo, not knowing many hate Enzo

I am passionate about midfield cancers so will continue to shout. You cannot coach a jogger or add any speed to a snail so Enzo is a non negotiable cancer for me. Worse still he has no positional sense defensively

Enzo5:
baba calm down, I asked you some simple questions about your view on cm, no need dodge am with all this ones

What was his position under Pochettino. Since you want to tell me he is an AM under Maresca.

Then we can check his Pochettino performance against Vitinha

Enzo5:
Please let's ALL read this with a microscope

All this won't work

Same way I hailed Jogginghoe ab initio and turned into his biggest hater

The only way to know a midfielder is to see him in action regularly. Enzo deceived us in World Cup. or rather MacAlliister covered his weakness which has become obvious to all

Enzo5:
didn't know you were pro pochettlino

What was his position under Pochettino since you want to use paltry GA to excuse him as an AM

Chelsea fans who don't love our club will always defend sluggish CMs and DMs holding us back

The minute those sluggish DMs leave the club, their true level reveals itself

I have been having these arguments for over a decade from Mikel to Fabregas to Jogginghoe, now Enzo

They will defend and defend, but unable to defend immediately that player leaves the club and shows his true level elsewhere, then you see the liability Chelsea has been carrying

Mikel stans that were defending him saw him leave to China and immediately relegated his Chinese club, then end up at Middlesbrough shortly after. This is who they wanted Chelsea to carry in our midfield

Fabregas fans saw him immediately almost relegate Monaco, getting booed and benched for Malian players there. This is who they wanted Chelsea to carry in our midfield

Jogginghoe fans immediately saw him take several seats behind Partey to the point Arsenal fans won't contemplate any injury to Partey. From Ballon d'Or standing to miles behind a common DM like Partey. This is who they wanted Chelsea to carry in our midfield.

Enzo is just the latest iteration of these sluggish midfielders that we have to carry to our detriment.

Put Caicedo in Enzo position and a DM behind Caicedo and we instantly improve 1000% and become contenders

diggz:
Enzo be like Tinubu wey APC people go dey defend every two market days. To defend ghost worker for midfield be like woman wey dey under hard labour on permanent basis. Ordinary small scare say Caicedo fit get injury, everybody don start to panic upandan, we dey run permutations on who go actually epp our midfield like say we no get a supposed world class £100mil player.

Enzo na just an overpriced £100mil Jorginho abeg.

The love of Caicedo shows the uselessness of Enzo. Everybody knows Caicedo is doing 2 mans work, even Enzo greatest fans

Android17:
Vitinha's greatest attribute is his press-resistance. That's why he splits the defense to receive the pass first from Donnarumma when PSG are about to progress the ball. Truth is, Jorginho was also press-resistant but unlike Vitinha who is doing everything you've said above, Jorginho could only evade the press by passing rightly. In other words, he depended on the movement of the players around him. If nobody made the right outlet, Jorginho will lose the ball.

In Vitinha's case, even without the right movements around him, he'd simply manipulate the ball out of the press. Harry Kane tried severally to press him against Bayern but it was futile. Enzo is alot like Jorginho in needing movements around him to evade the press. But he's showing that Gundogan tendency to arrive into the box at the right times to score, and if he sees an outlet in the attacking third, he doesn't hesitate to make that pass. He's more like Fabregas but with less of Cesc's imagination.

100%

Actually the definition of press resistant is turning a man when there are no passing options and Jorginho is 0% at that one

Enzo5:
kindly state clearly what Chelsea's CM role is? let's not go under the various managers under maresca?

By the way caicedo is a defensive midfielder is in case you mis propfiled him again.

First state what a cm role is supposed to be before coming out with baseless accusations of your own personal view of failure

First start with telling me what role he played under Pochettino

Was he AM then while stinking out the whole midfield?

Unlimited22:
Lmao

If anything, Enzo is playing the role Fabián Ruiz is playing.

There's no way on God's earth that you'll be comparing Fabián Ruiz to Cole Palmer.

Just go look Enzo heat map. We play with a midfield duo and an AM where he's expected to track back, win balls, and still crash the box. Fabián can box crash while knowing he has a controller and a little demon tiger behind him.

Enzo had been a failure in CM role for 2 years, it's only the last 6 months he started crashing box

So talk about his 2 years disaster in CM role and not the small crashing box that nobody sent him

You already have a Palmer in front of you, you are still vacating midfield to go drag crashing box after failing as CM for 2 years. Who will have Palmer in AM and still be talking about he's an AM while not doing any CM duty

Nonsense and ingredients

Tell me about his 2 years failure before he started his useless box crashing for poverty numbers (in comparison to a real AM)

There's a reason we hail Caicedo die, that's because EVERYBODY KNOWS he is working for 2, even Enzo stans

Is there any big club in World football that will accept Enzo as their AM? Someone that press will break down on his press every time cos he's so sluggish, and with what goal scoring numbers does he bring to table that is worthy of AM?

andrewbaba44:
Jorginho is a proper baller

I think some of the berating here where just agenda sha

Proper baller wey Partey dey give several seats

andrewbaba44:
Palmer cannot be compared to Fabian Ruiz

No matter how you put it Fabian Ruiz can’t be regarded as an attacking midfielder

But Enzo wants to be regarded as one when compared to Vitinha
