Transfers generally take longer these days. So many commercial arrangements and image rights

Unlike those days when Roman first land, you ask Makelele how much he is earning, he says £20k. Offer him £50k by Friday and on Saturday he will be in London

lol but the guy sha fast past busquets o, honestly don't know why he rarely plays DM instead Busquets is still used as DM
He seems OK in speed running forward when he has unbalanced an opponent with a feint but you won't see him sprinting backward. I call that the RLC syndrome

Some kind of post you will just read,check your head and then laugh. Frenkie de Jong is known to be one of the quickest midfielders out there. Nor is he physically weak. I just hope Ten hag doesn't get his hand on him.
You may be right. Just had to check his speed again, but he is physically weak nonetheless. Regardless, what we need is a DM and that he is not. Kovacic and Kante got our CM covered.

I understand your point actually, but safe to say he’s a system player then? How many top teams in Europe with 4:3:3 formation can he even play for?

He’ll sure would have bodied Bruno or become a bigger competition if he was that good, Bruno did it to Pogba.

“Pity” is the reason many people don’t want to admit that he failed. He actually filed outside Ajax, not even his Everton performance raised hope.
It was impossible to body Bruno at the time he arrived and 4-3-3 is actually widely used

I don’t even rate the VDB, I don’t like soft midfielders who are easily bullied, if you must be soft in Epl, you’ll have to be bringing lots of creativity to the table like Mata, Fab, David Silva and some few.

VDB isn’t EPL material, he’ll will do well in Bundesliga, especially Dortmund. That’s the only place he can perform as it stands now.

Not EPL, not ManU, not even out of Holland or Germany.
VDB ain't that soft but he's not strong enough to play in the pivot. He's a classic 4-3-3 midfielder. Fernandes made it that anyone who joins Manure has to play in a pivot behind him and that's not VDBs forte

Marina time here was a disaster, from her signings to managing the affairs in the academy,wash..let's not talk about Emenalo, who helped built our academy.
Emenalo was not in charge of youth recruitment. Emenalo actually blocked the path of many good young players by filling the first team with dross, and he never knew how to balance the squad with the right CM and DM recruitment

Maybe they’ve watched them, you never can tell.

Both have proven to be failures since their fluke UCL performance with Ajax in 2019.
VDB was actually their best player in that run. He made an unfortunate move to go to Manure where Fernandes was already established

Lol....im yet to understand why peope hype that De Jong... There' s no special thing about his game. Just a mediocre player. Same thing applicable to all that Ajax team that made the Ucl semi final... There' s no special talent there. Bunch of Mediocre players... I blame Man united shaa. They started this FDJ Rubbish
He's good on the ball, but good on the balls does not pay the bills when you can't run.

The same guys that swear DeJong is a baller and Busquet is simultaneuously a baller won't use church sense to figure out why Barca midfield is every midfields favourite bïtch in UCL. Even Muller said they are powderpuff and weak and his favourite opponent anytime he wants a cricket scoreline

Ihebu4chelsea:
Yeah you re right... Are you really happy with the type of players we are linked with this transfer window? Be Honest
Sterling is the best value and the least one to worry about considering the price of everyone we are being linked with.

Raphinha plus Sterling on both wings raise the excitement level cos it's a good balance between a dribbler/provider and a scorer

My wahala comes with the defensive links and the prices we are being quoted, and the DeJong link who collects £400k salary to stroll around

Ihebu4chelsea:
Is that what we need?? C'mon we need business oriented footballers not dribblers.. I dont think sterling is a good player
Sterling is business oriented in the last 5 years, but when a team doesn't play well and doesn't create chances, you may need a winger who is good at 1v1 situations to drag the team up the pitch. Some business oriented players become useless when their team cannot get the ball in the box. So all I'm saying is he is robust enough to play in a defensive team if the Chelsea we know default to defensive mode.

Ziyech is an example of a business oriented player who becomes useless unless his team is always attacking cos Ziyech can't really dribble on the run and he's not fast or strong enough to get ball from his own half and reach the opponents box

I dont think you have watched guehi , man shut Peps team out for 180mins.even chels had a field play against palace, not until he is playing for a top team before u know his quality nd it's glaring.
Selling Guehi the previous window ,while hunting for a CB this summer is a blunder.
We have seen delight since ajax, from Juv winning the league to top 4. I wonder what he does to have to have the price tag
Marina made some abominable errors in not locking down Guehi, Tomori and Livramento while buying crap from all over Europe that the Cobham boys used to dominate wotowoto at youth level. Cobham boys were repeat European Champions and multiple league and FA Cup winners and you will see Chelsea paying over the odds for some scrubs they used to dominate.

how u see Ampadu na, abi u don forget am
Left to me, if Chelsea does not sign any DM Ampadu goes in the season as my first choice DM. I don't see Ampadu as a CB. And if I'm a midtable club, I will be looking to sign him now with one year left on his contract. The boy got it. I learned he did well at Venezia playing DM despite their relegation

He did the opposite. At least when Kemi Adeosun was still the finance minister. I can't forget that video where Kemi Adeosun says we will find solutions to our problems locally.

For one I think Buhari shouldn't have reappoint Emefiele as CBN Gov when his tenure elapsed. That man and his team are just playing tombo tombo with our monetary policy. Their inconsistent exchange rate policy has caused alot of harm to the economy. No investor will invest in an economy where the CBN keeps changing policy as they wish. Looks as if he is doing experiment.
Buhari let the Naira float for the sweet juicy IMF loan, leave story

Guehi is not better than de ligt

Most of you hardly watch some of these players and you come here to conclude

I will agree with ake because he has not been a regular player since he joined city
Every Mallam with him kettle.

Guehi is the best ball playing defender outside the big three clubs last season. Once a player has shown his comfort on the ball, the usual anti-English "lack of class" argument goes in the bin cos DeLigt can't do that better than him. Then we come to pure defending and Guehi is stronger, much more quicker and has leadership and organisational qualities that saw him named Crystal Palace captain at the age of 21.

DeLigt is a hype job Rolls Royce player who had easy life at Ajax, struggled at Juve outside comfort zone and now going to Bayern for easy Bayernliga life and attache hype. Same DeLigt all at sea as we flogged Juve 4-0 this last season. Same DeLigt struggling to make top4 in a farmers league. I will take my Cobham boy who will take £80k and do a better job, than a Raiola hype job asking for £400k

he was not rejected o, says who?
A player is rejected when he is not given a contract and promise of first team squad place with the opportunity to establish himself. If you promise Guehi something, he will stay. Same message we are sending to Colwill

Chelsea can buy him and Abraham next summer.
Even the Koulibaly we don't seem serious in chasing him like we did for De ligt, maybe because of his age.

Ake does provide options, LCB or LB either in back 4 or 3. Make Tuchel sha get him players make him no give excuse
We don't have buyback on Guehi, only the option to match an accepted bid

There is also a psychological factor that comes with being rejected in your youth despite being good enough. It erodes loyalty completely. Do you think Ake is coming back with point to prove, already a multi millionaire with titles to his name. In his mind, he will be thinking, I will make these fools pay good money for rejecting me back then. See Pogba and Lukaku as example

Oil prices had dropped significantly, we were witnessing 40% inflation rates, near absence of food, population explosion and huge foreign debts that were stifling the nation and Babangida thought restricting importation, over valuing the Naira by pegging exchange rates (@ Larride, this is one of the reasons I am against the single exchange rate you suggested) would resolve some of these problem. Problem is, when you over value the naira, the foreign market will not be interested because it is not the true reflection of your economic realities.
I think this is the opposite of what SAP is. Sap is letting the market decide the value of the currency and allowing free trade, and abolishing subsidiea

BlueAngel444:
well we sold Tomori and Guehi to buy Lukaku and keep Chalobah, I believe 1 wanted to leave, the other has a buy back clause or so and we thought at least one of Rudiger or Christensen or both would extend.

In any case how is Guehi better than Ake or Koulibaly? Apart from playing time and age.

Hopefully Colwill impresses in preseason like Chalobah does and the way the Kounde deal was dropped may occur for Ake and we get only Koulibaly
Excluding Koulibaly, Guehi is better than Ake and DeLigt

And when you factor age, loyalty, salaries and cost, he would have been the optimal choice if we had kept him

Tomori and Guehi better than all the defenders we are linked with in this window.

We had a chance to establish Ake in 2018, we quickly accepted £20m.

Today we have Levi Colwill who is a better CB than Ake was at his age, and we want to block his path with Ake instead of buying a cheap but solid journeyman that can pick up the slack if Colwill doesn't perform. Likes of Saiss for example.

Ake and Colwill really both play the LCB position, it's not like you can play Ake RCB
