spurs sitting back against mid team wolves.

And robust DM Dy this match, plus another robust DM on the bench

E get where you done see Conte play where he no sit back? Hojberg still has the most passes on this pitch

raumdeuter:
Another Perisic assist now

From a header, another area he's good at.

Man has been dropping some delicious crosses and corners with both feet, despite Spurs sitting back

This is what I think and what my plan is. Make una no laugh me sha, part of it may be out of ignorance. Just my wild thought.

I am married, I can afford the cost of relocating which is study visa for my wife and me the dependant plus POF for 9 months.

My wife can do 20 hours of work per week and I work as long as possible as the dependant. I understand a realistic cost of living monthly is about 1200 pounds.

Now I'm very hardworking. I usually have no problems doing things people consider too difficult to do. Worst case scenario, assuming I'm unable to get a white collar job and I do a 10 pound/hour job, I can work 12 hours per day. That's roughly 3400 pounds per month. My wife earns 800 pounds per month. Total 4200 pounds . We are able to save 3000 pounds as a family monthly.

In 4 years( 2 years masters for her and 2 years post study) we have a savings of 144,000 pounds.

After 4 years, I'll switch to masters and she'll be the dependent which will allow us another 4 years of stay. She may not be able to work as hard as I worked. So let's say a modest 40 hours per week for her and 20 for me. This will give us another 67000 pounds in another four years. Add together, we have 211,000 pounds.

Assuming naira maintains it's current rate against the pound at 840 naira, that's 180m.

That's more than enough to live a good life back in Nigeria if we have no means of staying back in the UK.

I have checked job vacancies in the UK as it relates to what I do here in Nigeria and I should be able to slot into the job market without issues . The job need not give me sponsorship I don't care.
However, I'm working with a worst case scenario that we never get a good job and just do basic low wage jobs in 8 years.

If we get jobs with sponsorship, fine. If not, we come back to Nigeria better than we left.

Again, just my wild thoughts . Reality may be different from all of these

Factor in not more than 50 hours per week for yourself (UK have working time directives that limit maximum hours worked). Work that at £9.18 per hour, and take away 30% off that for tax and National Insurance. Then increase your monthly living expense to £1.5k and drop Naira exchange to N770 and you'll be closer to a more realistic scenario. Assume no children in all these cos childcare costs won't allow you work at minimum wage

forgiveness:
So, Guardiola is the standard, right? Somebody who spent £1billion to dominate the league.

The difference is Chelsea is rebuilding while Mancity has being building for the last 6 years.

The reason they can afford not to buy and still compete.

Did Chelsea compete when Chilwel was not available last season?

At least I have suggested two alternatives (Perisic and Hickey) that will not leave us with just Chilwell. And they can both cover James as well.

EmmanuelScott1:
Who assisted Tottenham last goal?

That guy no too dey bright. Leave am

Ibime:
You will see something this season about class. Perisic is a WB that you won't be able to tell if he's left footed or right footed. Every cross from either foot hits the target. And he crosses with the outside of his foot regularly too.

Class is permanent. The only reason we should get a chance to pick up a classy player like Perisic with only competition from Spurs is that all the other big clubs don't play a wingback system. This guy is class all over.

airmark:
I really don't see anything wrong in Cucurella's deal. He can play Lcb, Lwb and I won't be surprised if he can even play in the middle if need arises.

Also, the Spaniard has a resale value and he has already upgraded the team compared to how we fared last season in the absence of Chilwell.

Tuchel would be stupid not to buy him or depend on players that are not naturally gifted to play the role, while Chilwell battles with full fitness. This is 2022, the competition is rife compared to 6yrs ago, and we are competing in more competitions unlike when Conte won us Epl.

There is nothing that makes sense about Cucurella deal. If your big spender Pep could draw the line at £40m when Brighton asked for £50m, then Tuchel paying £62m plus Colwill on loan is a mugu deal.

Cucurella was fairly priced at £40m being he is not an international player, yet we somehow paid the same price for Kuku as PSG paid for Hakimi. For context, Hakimi had 20 GA when PSG signed him. Kuku has 1 GA last season.

We already have a £50m LWB, you add a £62m one and put the £50m one (Chilwell) at risk of value going to zero like we have done to Pulisic et al. I don't buy the argument of Cucurella playing LCB at 5ft 7 being used to justify that amount either. If I want a CB, I will buy a centre-back that looks like one, not a midget.

Chilwell is a £50m LB with 4 GA in 7 EPL games last season and 9 GA in 30 the season and we are just going to make him redundant till he leaves on free transfer or loan, when a versatile and non-threatening option like Perisic or Aaron Hickey that went to Brentford is there. These are two players that can play both LWB and RWB, giving a genuine path for recovery for Chilwell, not locking him out like Cucurella will. And they are budget friendly.

The way to make crazy behaviour look normal is to follow up with an even more outrageous stunt. Because Tuchel now followed up the Cucurella deal with this Fofana and Aubameyang nonsense, Cucurella deal is actually starting to look sane. Below is the sane response to Brighton which came from the mouth of "point and kill" Pep Guardiola

Ballzproblemm:
ib.ime thinks getting perisic from inter is a smart deal than cucurella ,the perisic is 33 ,now we are buying cheap aubameyang who is an EPL proven striker for £20-25(including add ons) ,now he doesn't think it's a smart deal deal because aubameyang is 33 ,wait let me get this straight , you want perisic from inter who is 33 ,but you don't want aubameyang from Barca who is cheap because he is 33,oga pick a side! . cucurella deal is even cheaper than getting perisic because if we buy him it's also for short term which means ,we will probably still look for replacement for that same role in this nearest future , some people no dey reason do they ? . I will keep calling out his bullshit I don't care ow many fanbois he has on this thread that keeps liking his shit.

You type like an illiterate. Perisic is free, Auba is £20m to £25m. Get that through your thick skull

No transfer rumour to do with Tuchel will surprise me again.

When he was bidding £100m for Lukaku, some "is it your money" people were excited for Chelsea to pay £100m on a 28 year old with high wages and no resale value

I thought Koulibaly was already stretching common sense financial planning to its limits, then he paid £62m for Cucurella. If that wasn't bad enough, he chased an ACL returnee to £80m. To cap it all, he chased a 33 year old Auba to £25m. Now he has outdone himself with this Maguire talk.

Let's keep suspending common sense to support Tuchel transfer nonsense. After all it is not our money

Who no know no know

lordfalcao:
Aubameyang joined Barca as free transfer .. helped Barca from 10 to 2nd. With his goals ..

Maybe that's why he's price appreciated..

Ehn good for Barca. It doesn't mean we have to be the mugu to take all the risk now his price doesn't make sense again

lordfalcao:
Last year aubameyang was almost a free man too.

This is 2022.

Arnautovic transfer fee will simply be 15-20M. And there's no way arnautovic is going to Chelsea and be taking a salary below 100k..


When I include who will be the better player. Of course aubameyang, it is.

Like I said, I'm responsible for what I write, not what you understand.

You must be arguing with yourself who recommended Arnautovic in 2022. I recommended him in 2021 and the cost at that time is the basis on which I recommended him, not what you want to make up in your head.

I recommended someone for low price, you did not agree. He did well enough to appreciate his value, and you are using his new asking price to justify overpaying for Auba. Is that not ment?

lordfalcao:
who is your back up striker. Arnauotivic..

Bid of 10 Million euros was turned down for him..

Let's see 15-20 million pounds can buy arnauotivic, his salary can be bigger than 150k..

I will rather we add 5-10 million and buy aubameyang.

Since both of them are depreciating assets, aubameyang is better than him, can score more than him, can assist more than him..

More foolishness. I did not recommend Arnautovic this summer when he has high transfer fee and higher salary expectations.

Arnautovic was my backup striker last summer at virtually free price and £3m salary (what he accepted from Bologna) and 1 year younger. If you know how to amortise, that is a £3m yearly cost for Arnautovic vs a £22m yearly amortised cost for Auba.

Arnautovic - free transfer plus £3m salary = £3m amortised

Aubameyang - £25m transfer fee divide by 2 years contract = £12.5m plus £10m salary = £22.5m amortised yearly cost

If you don't have the simple brain to keep up with intelligent discussion, avoid it.

Trevor012:
Nobody said anything about Casemiro solving our midfield issues alone. I already pointed this out yesterday on my thread that resulted to an heated argument. You are the chief protagonist on the benefits of having a robust Dm so why do you feel the transfer is haphazard?

Casemiro has little midfield control though better than Fred and McTominay, he still needs a partner that won't lose the ball every 5 minutes. Robustness goes both ways, both in physicality and technicality. Unless Casemiro is paired with another CM/DM that keeps the ball, your midfield will still be a pingpong. For £50m, you could have got two or three DMs that will solve the midfield issues completely.

andrewbaba44:
But it’s you guys that are all against the Aubameyang signing nah ,many of you forgot how you got giroud who is not even on auba level but he did well at Chelsea

Except Chelsea level is Europa league or parading a tactically limited striker who couldn't allow Chelsea to play a high pressing game, nor a counterattacking game, nor hit 9 league goals a season, I don't consider Giroud signing a success

lordfalcao:
you like making lots of noise..

Did the profile you described match aubameyang's YES..

Is he good for a back up striker, who wouldn't disrupt match rythm or gruntle for been on the bench. YES.

you are crying it's madness buying aubameyang even if it's for a Fee, while I am telling you , if he is going to fit the description you , yourself mentioned a year ago. Let the club buy him.

I believe the club have checked his salary before going for this deal, which they deem okay for them..


You have been talking of Bowen as a target for that role. Bowen at 25 years old. ?

If you agree with paying £200k salary and £25m transfer fee for backup thats your business. Like I said, don't extend your simple way of thinking to me.

At that price, Auba is coming to start which means big investments in other players like Havertz will suffer. That's called using depreciating assets to chase away assets you should be maximizing.

lordfalcao:
A decent wing striker and havertz is enough to prosecute the season. This is very clear..

Which decent striker have the characteristics you mentioned that Chelsea are going for currently, AUBAMEYANG.

Why are you saying the club is mad for going for the same player you mentioned a year ago


When you talk from both sides of your mouth. You come with your lines and cheap insults that you are responsible for what wrote.

Of course you are responsible for the many things that doesn’t make sense that you wrote..

There are two occasions I have recommended Auba to Chelsea. In 2013 when he moved from St Etienne to Dortmund and 2018 when we gave Arsenal £18m for Giroud so they could use the money to buy Auba

I said a a wing striker and Havertz is Ok, someone asked me to define a wing striker and I said Rashford, Anelka, Henry, Auba and Mbappe.

If you had more than two brain cells you will know that was a definition that describes their style of play, not a recommendation. I used Auba, Henry and Anelka because they are the most prominent examples and describes their younger years, not a recommendation for that transfer window. For two years, I have been holding up Jarrod Bowen as a specific transfer target for that style of player.

I am not responsible for how single cell organisms interpret information. I can only give information. I expect Auba at this age to settle in to a no9 position as he has done for the last 18 months, not chasing fullbacks down the wing. I know Auba was on £350k salary at Arsenal and will expect no less than £200k at Chelsea. I know he is costing about £25m and has no more than 2 years of decent football to offer, meaning his yearly amortized cost will be around £22.5m per season. For comparison, the Arnautovic I directly suggested last summer is on a £3m yearly amortized cost which is his yearly salary. Ontop of that, I know Auba may even want 3 year contract of which the last year is a definite write-off, and Tuchel won't care about anything more than the immediate future. These are what people who handle budgets and know how to process information will consider. Don't extend your hand to mouth or "is it your money" way of thinking to me. I did not recommend Auba to Chelsea last season, and now Tuchel wants him, I have said I can stomach a free transfer, but anything more than that is madness.

Trevor012:
Casemiro never even land and there's already so much tears and lamentations. Calm down please

If you think Casemiro alone will solve your problem, you are on a long thing. We will just add him to Varane as evidence of your haphazard transfer policy.

lordfalcao:
you like having them as back up, because they can simply play no9 easily. Without disrupting match rhythm or gruntle about been on the bench..

Having a decent player with the profile in aubameyang as back up is okay by you.. plus havertz to prosecute the season.

The club is trying to do what you wrote one year ago. You are saying they are mad.

It seems you didn't understand what you wrote

I understand perfectly what I wrote and at no point did I recommend Aubameyang, Henry, Anelka or Rashford to Chelsea last season. I am responsible for what I write, not for what imbeciles understand.

lordfalcao:
for something you wrote a year ago?

What was his age last year? Did you only talk about wing here?

In that post I also mentioned Henry and Anelka. Does that mean I was suggesting we should go and sign them from retirement home? It is obvious to anyone with brains, I was describing my preference for a profile of a backup striker with the ability to play wings, and explaining what a wing striker is, by giving Anelka, Henry, Mbappe, Rashford, Auba as examples, not recommending a particular striker. Like I said, you have never been very bright.

lordfalcao:
if aubameyang will offer us this things you wrote here. Let the club buy him..

Auba playing wings at 33? You have never been bright

BlueRayDick:
This is why I dey look that UK student visa Japa route with one corner eye. Most times when I sit in my quite time I do imagine what UK will look like in 2 to 3 years time when most people must have been through with their Masters and everyone will be job hunting.

Will the UK Labour market be ready to absorb many Nigerians who by then will be carrying a UK masters degree after spelling cars and other properties back here to facilitate the degree program?

What will be the fate of those who will be unfortunate to land jobs? ( Because definitely the competition will be rife between Nigerians, graduates of other African countries who went to the UK for the same purpose and UK citizens with British passports)

It's looking like the system was designed to make as much money for the UK economy and u are left to Ur own fate to sort things out.....Literally " GO HARD OR GO HOME"

As I dey I dey reason Scandinavian countries like Finland and co but I don't know much about their immigration paroles and moving with family and stuff. Then I don't know how receptive to a blackman in those places and how prosperous they are economically sha

My advise to Nigerians is to prioritise Canada over UK

UK is still big on accent except you are in the medical field or maybe IT where they have little choice. Most Nigerians cannot speak with a passable Western accent after couple years study and that does harm job prospects in the UK. Canada/Yankee has less of a class structure and more used to immigration and different ways of speaking, plus their accent is easier to pickup.

timbros:
Aubameyang will do well in Stamford Bridge. It's a gamble I feel we should take.

Arnautovic is actually 33.

Na last year I recommend Arnautovic na, he was 32 then. 2 year contract would have taken him to 34. And again, you are not taking cost into account

timbros:
Arsenal let go of Aubameyang because of disciplinary issues, not footballing reason.

Arnautovic is 33 also but you have no problem him being a short term fix for us.

The price quoted is crazy but then, if we can bid £75m+ for Fofana, buy Cucurella for £62m+ then why not pay for a proven goal scorer who has EPL experience? This is a Chelsea team who has midfielders as the last 2 EPL top scorers Mount (11) and Jorginho (7).

Arnautovic is 32 and does not depend on pace. His hold up play is 10 levels above Auba, plus he was 31 when I recommended him on free transfer, super low wages in comparison to Auba, and only considered as a backup Incase Havertz fails. And Auba had stopped scoring for Arsenal for 18 months. The poor form preceded the disciplinary and tactical issues. If Auba had been scoring for Arteta there would be no disciplinary problem

andrewbaba44:
And you signed a 31 year old koulibally for more than 40 million who is a classy defender ,but it’s wrong to sign 33 year old auba for half koulibally amount who is also a classy striker

Aubameyang is at Barca because of disciplinary issues .

A 31 year old CB conceivably has 4 more years of football. A 33 year old striker is a gamble as to whether he has much time left, especially striking position that depends on sharpness. Much less a striker with poor hold up play like Auba. And I don't even agree with KK signing from a financial perspective

We done mad for this thread, accepting a 33 year old man for £20m+ that Arsenal chased away and paid £5m to tear up his contract just 7 months ago

BlueMann:
Seems Aubame-bloodclaat-yang is really coming.

How many years contract dem want give the old man? Tuchel want bankrupt Boehly

Burna wey hustle tire for PH before him release him first break away song in 2012

So burna was 21 in 2012
How possible

Burna no hustle tire anything. He was arrested and deported in his first year at Uni at 19, returned to PH and blew by 21.

He left Naija at 16/17, did 2 years A Levels in UK and was in first year of Uni when his street activities caught up to him.

He is on the same passport he used to travel to do his A Levels at 16/17, same passport that UK Government sanctioned that didn't allow him to return to UK for 7 years

Burna is not a poor boy nor a cult boy. He is a UK road man that is intelligent enough to assimilate street slangs that would make you think he is a cult boy. His parents could afford to send him to Montessori, Corona and to school in UK. His age is legit.
