With good money, anything can happen. The world needs Fury/Uysk.

Fury go beat Usyk Wella, but Fury done retire give up him Ring belt. He said only Joshua can bring him out of retirement. If Usyk get sense, he will avoid Fury and just be beating Joseph Parker, Dillan Whyte and co for the next three years to ensure he has a decently long reign

I believe this matter is being overflogged. If Chelsea has gone for perisic, by next season we would be looking for another LWB and with the way market is going, players price will keep increasing. It’s better to buy one good player and be done with it than going for old cargo, especially for a position as demanding as LWB.


I watched perisic two games now. He is good but he won’t last half season with his age

If Silva is young we wouldn’t be looking for another CB.

Everyone accepts cucurella is expensive but we have passed the wailing stage.


Another thing to note is the team recent condition. Chelsea just changed its owner and every team knows there is money to spend. It is always going to be expensive to sign player. Im sure Bissouma would have cost us more.

He would definitely last the full season and next season too. He is just returning from injury and hasn't played many preseason minutes. Anyway, what's done is done

Ballzproblemm:
body is not shacking me for who Chelsea sign , buying perisic is a dumb move no matter how good he is , cucurella has more years perisic don't , perisic sales value will decline , while cucurella own will rise ,we will still look for perisic replacement even if we got him just as we are looking for Silva replacement ,so we will spend double the amount in the whole process , football sometimes is more than just talent why you no dey see am from this perspective.

How you want increase Cucurella price from £62m. Is there any leftback that sold for more than that amount? You bought the top, you say price go increase. Cucurella na Bitcoin?

If you want make price increase, you no go see Aaron Hickey to buy wey Brentford buy for only 17 million. Abi I no get sense when I ask Barca fans last season why they didn't buy Cucurella for just £15m? Na when he reach £62m na him your body come ginger you. Wahala for who only buy when price done reach the top


By the time the two years Perisic contract is over, you will still have Chilwell and e sure me die say we go pick up another good leftback for £30m or free transfer if we get sense. The Thiago you mentioned is about to give us 3 years, even players you pay £50m for no sure to give you 3 years. If na lie, name Chelsea starting lineup from 3 years ago (2019) and tell me how many still dey relevant.

Emaprince:
was sessegnon benched? He looked promising and missed a sitter against Chelsea. He is cheap too so I opted for him, only to be seeing 0 under him for a large part of the match.

Atleast I would have gotten 6pts off him

Smh

Perisic was always going to start today after Sessegnon Chelsea performance. Na just say Perisic no really play many preseason minutes so they have to build him up. I considered bringing him for Robertson for 4 point hit last night cos Robertson price was going down. Need 12 points from Robertson to justify not making the move

Ballzproblemm:
nobody is saying perisic no good but to say getting him is better than cucurella is purely dumb simple and short ,if like dey throw side remarks na una Sabi ,when in chop another L ,I go still call am out for his bullshit trust me on that one

You wey join head after 20 mins to dey ask pesin whether him still prefer Perisic to Cucurella because body dey shack you, now you done dey shalaye. A whole Perisic wey drag small Croatia go World Cup final. Na him be say you no sabi Perisic, your body just dey shack you for who Chelsea sign.

andrewbaba44:
I don’t think cucurella is really better than chilwell

Chelsea fans should chill and see more games from cucurella ,maybe he might be a better player than chilwell as time goes on ,but for now I don’t think he is , Both of them are good though

Just after 1 start Chelsea fans will make you think cucurella is prime Marcelo or alba

Cucu is a better dribbler and more speed, which is natural given he's a winger and Chilwell is a LB

Chilwell is better defensively and has far more attacking returns. There's a time Chilwell will be scoring or assisting every game

Even with robust DM that suppose to commit more body to attack,

We Dy here.

Conte no dey commit body to attack, only counterattack.

andrewbaba44:
Una no talk say chilwell no good before ,na till dem buy cucurella

It’s well

It's a funny justification

You don't have to replace a good player with a better one if the good player is good enough and there are other more pressing needs in the team. Moreso when there are other budget friendly and versatile options like Perisic and Hickey for that position

Same reason we kicked against signing Hakimi last season even though some thought Hakimi was better than James.

And yes, you can overpay for a good player.

lordfalcao:
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

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.
