Giroud was our board's easier and cheaper version of Dzeko and maybe an 'apology' for not getting Lukaku.

but right now apart from those old guys, players like Jovic or Piatek are risky.

and our manager doesn't want Batshuayi or Tammy back. are you comfortable with Hazard as our nine with Morata as back up. cus am not.

I rather stick with Hazard and Morata than buy expired players for £50m, thank you.

@ChelseaFC close to agreeing deals for Cagliari midfielder Nicolo Barella and Zenit St Petersburg midfielder Leandro Paredes. #SSN


Midfielders again ?

Nawa o.

Long term replacements for Kovacic.

Paredes is more of a backup to Jorginho. I recommended him 2 years again but he went to Zenith.

I was studying Barellas matches yesterday, he looks like he can do both Jorginho, Kante and Kovacic role.

For flexibility, I go with Barrella

raumdeuter:
I hope you get him and I will be here to troll as usual

I was here when many of you were cursing Costa to leave your club and I told you to go and beg him

Mechonu. Now Atleti fans are the ones cursing Costa to leave their club after 3 league goals in a full calendar year.

BlueAngel444:
Cavani is better, but not so sure about head and shoulders above the rest. that guy's misses can give heart attack o.

besides Higuain would be less of a risk to Sarri n would cost £40m not £50m in Cavani, not that it matters. both since both of them aint coming... benz it is

Not interested in discussing these guys coming to Chelsea. We must have lost our mind to be chasing 31 year olds.

All of you that were discussing Giroud coming this time last year, wetin we gain? Did Giroud do anything Tammy won't do 5 times over?

Emaprince:
All of them sabi miss goals. My problem with this Benzene is he plays as if he has no passion for the game.

Benzema is just another Morata. No bite, no energy, no forcefulness to his game.

Cavani is head and shoulders above the other 2

PietroRick:
No matter how many times his skull gets flogged, he will never give up.
The amount of dirt them don dig on that guy(true or not) for this forum reach for the average guy to disappear forever.

Kudos to him for staying strong.

Airmark remains Amalinze the cat, the undefeated one.
Tell Doctor this fight is going 12 rounds. Those his punches were heavy like Wilder, but Airmark is still here swinging like Fury. It takes stamina to fight Airmark like Sia and Kendrick Lamar. Tell Doctor to come back for Round 12 please. Patients can wait.

PlainJAY:
Battle between

Scarface Vs Swimmer

Do you know you can be prosecuted for this?

Afrodoc is playing with fire. It should be easy for a Telecoms operator to put call through to Royal College of Australia to report one of their Fellows for behaviour unbecoming of a Doctor. He could get Afrodoc disbarred if care is not taken.

Airmark right now. . . .

airmark:
Ibime, what's your take on Barella?

No idea. I only know his name from transfer rumours. I would hope he can play other midfield positions apart from Jorginhos cos I don't believe in spending £45m to sit on the bench waiting for Jorginho injury.

We are about losing Moses, Cahill, Drinkwater and Fabregas. Maybe Hudson-Odoi and Christensen as well.

That's 6 Homegrown players. I would imagine our signngs going forward will be aimed at meeting Homegrown criteria. If the likes of Barella come in, I would imagine that means other positions like Zappacosta, Giroud, Morata positions would have to be swapped for homegrown players.

For starters, we should sell Zappacosta and recall Reece James from Wigan. He is already better than Zappa.

Coutinho14:
if I ever wanted to kill myself, I'd climbed up to your level of stupidity and jump down to your IQ

I would clap for this line, but it has to be plagiarised. A Barkabot cannot come up with something like this of their own merit.

Thecassanova:
We need backup for the Jorginho role asap as Fabregas is out. We can’t use Kantè as he’s in our first 11 & he’s not Sarri preference at middle.

Drinkwater is injured and besides he can’t play in the midfield 3. Sarri should try Ampadu in the role in few cup games.

I hope the board is looking out for a tangible replacement for Fabrepass, & not hoping on Yoko from Milan.

Marching into 6500

No need. Ampadu is there, and that's his natural position. Not Everytime that a system must be replicated perfectly with like-for-like replacements. If Pirlo was injured, there was no top playmaker that will sit on Juventus bench waiting to play the exact same way as Pirlo. Kovacic can play DM if you need, it doesn't have to be a playmaker there.

Our only priority is striker this transfer window.

Juggernauts:
watin concern students and corruption

They would be the first to cry on Nairaland when any corrupt politician gets arrested.

I am neither APC nor PDP but what Amaechi said is very clear to me, is that Nigerians are not ready to change personally. They are unchangeably corrupt and the only way this country can change is that everyone be killed. "Just 3 years of Buhari, they are crying. . . . ". Long before American politics was fought dirty with fake news and alternative facts in 2016, Nigeria crossed that rubicon in the 2015 election with all manner of lies and propaganda being disseminated to the detriment of the country. Wendell Simlin was chief among these liars, going as far as forging documents in 2014 to get Sanusi sacked from CBN. Amaechi is not stüpid to criticise his principal to a group of journalists, on or off record.

What simply happened is the lying pastor Wendell Simlin editing audio.to purvey fake news as usual.

ow11:
There are two possible outcomes for this apocalypse. The US/EU will help the Nigerian Army to keep it barely tolerable to ensure the refugee count is low enough to keep their local population happy OR the NCOs in the army will join this thing and burn this country to the ground. I mean all of it

I still wonder how on earth this country is meant to be viable when it encourages overpopulation and has refused to even increase its oil production (since it has chosen to be anti all other forms of govt. revenue). 300 million people sharing 2.3 mbpd @ $55/barrel at some point will not be a pretty time to be resident in Nigeria

Nigeria has no choice but to apply for UN Peacekeeping force boots on ground the way things are going.

LordEmperoris1:
I don't know if this is true

if true, please me show this to someone here

You play 10 games per season against other top 6 sides.

8.5 seasons have elapsed since 11/12.

Therefore he has scored 37 goals in roughly 85 games, give or take some injuries.

This is not impressive, just selection of stats. That's why RVP who only played 3 years of the time in question has half his goals.

No other player on the list was even an EPL player from 2011 to date except Aguero.

NLBigBoy:
Judging from his last minute slip, Rashford is without a doubt the cocaine addict(For those of you that know about the scandal)...

My money is on Dele Alli/Ross Barkley

The almajiri apocalypse is about to swallow Nigeria whole. The North is a toxic mix of an overblown population with little skill to function in a modern economy, religious extremity, and external actors (ISIS) contributing to the decay. In addition, the nomadic peoples of the Sahel are burning West Africa down, from Northern Cameroun through Northern Nigeria, Chad, Niger, Mali, Maritania. The Southern peoples of Nigeria who have absolutely nothing to do with these nomadic factors are unfortunately are stuck in this mess thanks to Lord Lugard.

Solanke injured till February. Looks like all Callum Wilson hopes on pause.

NinjaMetahuman:
no suicidee

He didn't even celebrate the 2nd goal. This guy is in depression.

Morata needed that 2nd goal, if not he for commit suicide this night

pamcode:
Not likely. Bournemouth uses two strikers - King and Wilson with Mousett and defoe on the bench. With Defoe gone Solanke replaces him on the bench.

Nope. They mostly play King on the wing which he was complaining about.

Injury to 3 key players forced them into 3-5-2 over the last month, mostly because their regular right back Smith is injured, followed swiftly by Francis, a centreback who they sometimes cōck-nyash into right back position. Their default formation is 4-3-3, and with Clyne around, they can go back to that.

nihilistjnr:
I hope so, but I also heard Defoe is on his way to Scotland, which could mean Solanke is going to warm bench again.

Nah, they've got Lys Mousset who's a decent 3rd option. No way Solanke would move to be 3rd choice. He's too greedy to play. I can say with some degree of certainty either Wilson or Josh King must be moving cos Manure are sniffing him as well, but most likely to be Wilson.

nateevs:
And clearly we can see why the Pulisic deal cost that much. Untested substitutes of the main substitutes costing £19m upwards.
This market needs a bust.

I done lose my passion for football mehn. Can't understand the figures in football again. Yet, we made £60m profit so clearly there is money to go around.

nihilistjnr:
19m for Solanke?

That means Huddon-Odoi must be £50m.

BTW, this indicates Wilson might be on his way.

Theuniverse:
why is loftus cheek playing in wing? isn't he a midfielder, why was William injured b4 he came on? why did donkley start over him? odoi wants to leave and bayern wants to pay 30 mills for him, so Bayern German champions and bigger than Chelsea see his potential and our useless coach keeps him on bench and starts William always. now conte was sacked because he was stubborn and couldn't rotate fresh players, and his 343 was exposed he couldn't change tactics, now sorryball is found out defend deep and mark hazard nothing happens, what has sarri done to rectify it, new formation no, try new players no, instead the same crap week in week out. now what is the difference between him and conte. sarri has won nothing in his career and now I see why, at Napoli d same no rotation even when Napoli had over 90 points they still lost the league to juventus, why because the players got tired towards the end. at least conte won us league and fa cup, with sarri we will win nothing playing arsenal football with no end product. I regret us sacking conte, and get this I supported his sack then, but now i regret too. if Chelsea don't get top 4 sack him and get zidane or anybody, Chelsea don't wait for any fucking coach to implement nonsense thanks.

If you can change mind every second like goldfish, why should we trust what you are telling us now?

Theuniverse:
just look at how fernandinho and fabinho play at 4 they pass move mark and are strong what does our play starter jorginho do nothing side back passes and lazyness sarri thinks this is series a he has something else coming.

Tah, Fabinho we no dey control ball well. If you press Fabinho on his touch, he will overturn possession.

raumdeuter:
Many have flopped like Recce Oxford, Dale Jennings etc
Ademola Lukman didnt stay at Leipzig. Unless dem don look Odoi future and see balon dor there how can a boy with limited first team appearance be worth 30M

Maga, just pay the money and give us Kimmich on top

raumdeuter:
We still have to talk about this

Whats up with this Odoi guy and why is Bayern foolishly chasing him for 30M

Jason Sancho, Reiss Nelson and Ademola Lukman effect.

Young EPL rejects have been burning down Bundesliga innit.

At what point do we accept Bayern bid for Hudson Odoi.

With 18 months left on his contract and Bayern bid up to £30m, if he indicates no willingness to sign, we might just have to sell him.

larride:
The problem is that Jorginho is not creative enough.

How creative is Busquets from same position?

As far as I am concerned, if Jorginho allow us to keep 70% of the game, we just need our forwards to make the difference ala Messi for Barca.

We then need fast defenders to prevent counterattacks from the moments we don't have the ball which is few and far between. The types of attacks we would face from having a player like Jorginho are footraces with our defenders. With fast defenders and opponents not having enough men upfield due to being camped in their half, this can be easily negated. If one striker face 2 fast defenders in a counter, the defenders will win 9 times out of ten.

Take out Luiz and Alonso for faster and more robust options and get forward players who can make things happen when they receive the ball in the final 3rd, and Jorginho becomes a man to build the team around

SalamRushdie:
so he killed himself because of this silver back Goriillla looking woman ..na wa oooooo

I believe he must have been having serious financial problems. One can't come and go and kill himself because of this woman

patrickmuf:
Lukaku scored with his first touch...Super first touch...
We are coming for that 4th position after which we will swap places with Spurs...

You will be 9 points behind after Spurs show una sege next week.

Shutup Pastor Wendell Simlin!
