This was actually a very solid business. Can't fault Boehly. We desperately needed a striker. Barca held all the cards because at a point, they seemed to even lose interest in Alonso.

And the money paid was very inconsequential, so solid business.

If we were that desperate, we should have moved earlier in the window. You think Barca is not desperate to shift Aubameyang having bought Lewa? Depay was trying to terminate at the same time. I would call their bluff and get Depay on like of like exchange or like for like termination

So we paid Barca for Auba but had to terminate Alonso contract so he can later sign for them on free

Maga strikes again

airmark:
It was Ibime that made me check him up in January when I think he was a free agent or so.

Safe to call him Ibime's signing.

I was just looking for anyone to replace that paperweight sloth Jogginghoe jare

Zakaria is energetic and fast but quite untidy on the ball.

BlueAngel444:
Paul Pogba has confirmed to police investigators that he did in fact pay a witch doctor to cast a spell, but to protect himself from injury and not to cast a curse on Kylian Mbappé.

He should be flogged with koboko next time he visits Mecca

The fact Tuchel ran to Zakaria for a £30m buy option when better player like Bissouma was available for £28m and he didn't even shake body is enough to lynch him like Gaddaffi

donstan18:
Well deserved...

He wants to Bamba, he wants to chill with the big boys, he dey run kiti kiti, he dey run kata kata, no fit join Leeds, drop cup

EmmanuelScott1:
Rate Chelsea summer transfer window

4/10

-1/10

hensben:
Zakaria deal remind me of Thierry Henry deal from Juve to Arsenal. .

This guys takes can land someone in hospital with rib aches

EmmanuelScott1:
Tuchel foolishness is second to none

No way Zakaria bench jorginho which is the main issue here, we need a good D.M that will bench jorginho and not back up

jorginho now

Injury permitting, he would by God's grace. But the last minute nature of the move, just like Sauls suggest he is considered a backup. It shall not be well with Tuchel

lordfalcao:
I remember when this guy was been hyped.

Why is juve willing to let him leave on loan

Guy is always in physio room with injuries

He's a decent player though

If Gilmour has a buyback option, no qualms. Ampadu must not leave without a replacement.

timbros:
Ibime what do you think of this Alvarez guy? Him and Sangare who better pass?

That Sangare dey give me Bakayoko vibes. I know YouTube compilations can be misleading but Alvarez looks like a decent DM.

I don't know them. From YouTube, Alvarez looks a bit slow as shown by his many slide tackles in situations he could have caught up, while Sangare looks like someone who dribbles loosely through the centre of midfield like Bakayoko. Na when them land we go see how far.

kingBolton:
That sangare dey somehow remind me of bakayoko o.

One video I watched was Bakayokoesque (too many loose dribbles through the middle of midfield) but I saw highlights of all his touches against Leicester in Europa and he looked much better. We will see if and when he lands

raumdeuter:
ibime when you complain about Tuchel spending

Have you seen his transfers while at PSG?

Thilo Kehrer 40M, Paredes 40m, Sarabia20m, Icardi for 50M, Abdou Diallo 35M, Gueye 35M
All those players would have been signed at half the price at the time they were bought
When I saw that a coach spent 40M on Thilo Kehrer, and 35M on Diallo German forums were laughing at that deal .
It was as if Tuchel was helping to fleece PSG to boost German club finances

I don't count any expenditure at PSG cos Leonardo and Sheikh would do what they want regardless, those may not be manager signings

But the guy has really shown his nyash at Chelsea. This is one of the most disgusting transfer window performance I've seen. Let's not forget he blew all of last season budget on one player also (Lukaku)

Griffon:
Alvarez pushing for a late Chelsea move. Problem isn’t about the cash or a possible switch, rather, where will Ajax find a replacement tonight?

We’re stuck with Jorginho!

That Alvarez doesn't look quick enough to me

andrewbaba44:
Ref adding 2 extra minutes for Liverpool ,must they FAVOUR Liverpool everytime ?

5 minutes turned to 7 minutes ,everyone should work for their winning abeg

Useless league

Newcastle players were forming cramp in injury time, ref added it on

lordfalcao:
bissuoma that can’t break into spurs line up till bentacur injury

You have never been bright. You don't walk into a functioning midfield straightaway. That's not how managers keep players happy. Hojberg and Bentacur will play until they fückup, get injury or until fixture congestion allows chance for rotation.

Ihebu4chelsea:
Im serious..... We are just trying to compete for the Top 4 aside that. Nothing !!!!

Are you sure we are competing for top 4?

Liverpool and City will be there, Spurs and Arsenal are already building sizeable gaps

TT is like the fool who entrusted his future to a spineless DM and about to go down with that ship

GloriousGbola:
this is a meme, but its the reality
a health issue is enough to bankrupt you

ibime, we need your input here.

full privatization can only work with proper regulation - the other thing that republicans don't like [big government]

I prefer a Germany type hybrid system.

I have private insurance and have had two knee surgeries on private insurance, but chronic conditions and child/baby natal care are better managed by the NHS. If you want a quick answer to something or a quick operation, go private. If you have a lifelong condition that needs constant monitoring, let the NHS handle it.

Unlimited22:
If he continues at this rate, that 32 goal record go collect main main.

If Only Luis Suarez had been less of a madman and also taken penalties in 2013/14...

Andy Cole and Shearer have scored 34 before na

By the grace of God, injury will come knocking on him. EPL can't afford for Man City to have a goal machine

That golden boot Salah has been monopolising, he can kiss it goodbye

What a foolish manager. Waiting till last day of transfer window to bid £50m for a DM. A proven premier League DM in Bissouma was there for £28m, he didn't bother. Even Idrissa Gueye he could have copped for free has been available all summer. The thunder wey go fire Tuchel is still doing press up.

popizaino:
That guy crumbles under an intense pressure and i don't know why people still think he is what we need to solve our problems.

Wait till we sign him. It won't take long for hensben to throw him under the bus.

If Auba is the price to pay to get rid of Alonso, so be it

No point paying Alonso's wages while he is not useful. At least Auba will have some use

VargasVee:
It's almost as if every footballer can dribble pass him.

Diallo didn't dribble Jogginghoe yesterday, he simply ran through the paperweight. We know what dribble looks like, that was not a dribble, just a swatting aside.

Unlimited22:
It's not like he doesn't know that Kante and Kova are injury prone.

It is well.

Now we have something like 30 hours to try to sign at least one midfielder and one Attacker.

Nothing to do with Kante and Kova. Even with Kante and Kova, you need a real DM, preferrably two if the main DM gets injured.

BlueAngel444:
Isnt it strange that it's when Chelsea manager's get backed they flop and get sacked
Conte Lampard Tuchel all of them in their second summer signings they were supported with hundreds of millions

Conte and Lampard were not supported. The club bought players for them and also bought players that don't fit their style and disrupted their team structure eg Havertz, plus they kept players that the managers didn't think fitted their style eg Jorginho. That's why I never called for their heads.

Tuchel has had the most benevolent transfer window that not even Pep has enjoyed. Not only did he sign his picks, Boehly tore up contracts of players he didn't want and he is not forced to carry any baggage. Tuchel will receive it hot hot from me this season if he doesn't perform cos he did point and kill this transfer window

Griffon:
Isn’t it glaring clear even to the blind that we badly need a DM?

How a franchise goes into four different competitions without a natural defensive midfielder amazes me.

For this singular reason, TuchelOut

donstan18:
Useless, no tactics, no pattern, low budget Allegri, German Simeon, fraudulent mugu, plays players out of position.

Someone that can wake up and play Silva or Cucurella as a false9. Jorginho as your DM? The only place Fraudvertz dey try small, he moved him out of there.

Havertz has no business playing anywhere else but number 9

He has no attribute to play on the wing. He can't drive with the ball and dribble on the run.

He has no attribute to play in midfield. He is too one footed and gets caught on the ball easily.

His main skill is making runs and only that no9 position fits him

Funny looking back at September 2020 when the Leprous fingers swore he had so many strings to his bow but all Chelsea fans with brain who watched him know his only top class skill is his runs

EmmanuelScott1:
Nah, ibime is behind this

He needs another DM beside him to not get swatted aside like a housefly
