Though I like is combatant nature,pace on the ball and loads of energy however, I have a problem with is kind of dribbling Bros. His dribbling from the clips I just saw looks excessive and dangerous when dispossessed in key areas.

I am of the opinion that conte signed this guy. He once had Vidal in juventus,tried everything to get naingollan and now we have our workhorse in babayoko, Young,energic and a combatant in nature. Na 50/50 be this one. He may end up being a ramirez or a Vidal. Only time will tell ....

I agree with you to a large extent, but I choose to be more optimistic and see the boy as a Yaya style buldozer. i belive that given his age, and Conte's precedent of improving players, there's a lot to be optimistic about.

Hmmm... Underrate the Nutorious at your own peril Bro!

We all know that Floyd defence is out of this world but Conor has got some nasty hands, if he touches Floyd... the old lady will sing.

My money will be on Conor..... KO/TKO win hedged by a Floyd decision win. Both guys and Dana should each be taking more than $50 million.... red panty night...lol

Underrate faya.

Floyd Mayweather has titles in 5 different weight classes My G.

Connor has ZERO professional boxing experience.

You must not know how the boxing game goes.

Deebo is not the same as Mike Tyson.

This match is a foregone conclusion already. If it even gets to the 12th, it would be because it was secretly written into the contract.

It is common sense...you are a blatant fool!

This line though.

Boys and Girls, kids of all ages, this is how you Use juxtapositon as a literary device to land a body blow on your opponent.

Conte has man management which most times improve players. Baka will be very useful when we are playing tough opponent like Real Madrid. Think about Him, Kante and fab in 3-5-2 formation, he will be utilize as box to box which matic can't do.

With this guy in the team, I can see Fabregas in the Pirlo role behind Baka and Kante. He's very energetic and mobile. Very fast too. What i liked the most was his dribbling skill. He will be able to drive into midfield from deep...something we haven't had since Matic of 14/15, while Fab would be free to ping long range passes around like a quarterback.

hensben:
I have this feeling Baka will turn good like viera/yaya with conte as coach.

This boy is already better than Matic.

Alfie Mawson is another CB that caught my eye last season.

Harry Maguire is on the Move.


@ Nihilist

Yup

Leicester is a good place for him. That's somebody who is ready to walk in Stamford Bridge today and chase Cahill back to Bolton.

Too bad.

afrodoc2:
All through the last few weeks of the season after Chelsea had won the league and even at the annual awards dinner Conte knew he was going to kick Costa out but he was shining teeth with him and after everybody had gone home on holidays he cowardly gave him quit notice via text.

This is not some unknown guy called up for a camp, this is your no 9 that u spent the whole of last season with. You could not call him aside and give him the news at the end of the season? Total pus.sy move by Conte that Costa answered back by being a di.ck.

Did you not read of the exchange that led this? Conte did not just tell Costa to eff off out of the blue.

You really think Costa cares how he was told he wasn't needed?

Ask Mourinho what Costa thinks about Authority figures.

Somebody that can stone his manger with Jersey in full view of millions of people is not the kind of person you make excuses for.

Costa is a big fool. Simple as that.

diggz:
If only we can make him rot away playing for the reserve team The eediot was excruciatingly frustrating all through last season. Now we have to suffer significant loss due to his uncontrollable koloness.....


Anyway or anything to make the fvcktard suffer is ok by me. If it means sending him to the under 21s or loaning him to a division 1 club or asking babayoko to dash him a year injury as is first call to duty, I definitely don't mind.

I don't want him anywhere near the reserve team cos he would be shitstirring there.

Just put him on Gardening leave and let him get fat at home and run down his contract.

raumdeuter:
Afrodoc2 and funlord2 don respond t you

The coach told him what he wanted and Costa exposed it

Conte behaved like a pussy and Costa behaved like a dickk

If your coach or manager sends you that type of text, what loyalty remains to him? you too Bleep him up

Like I said, managers text players all the time.

I personally know a guy who was called to the England Rugby squad to face Argentina last weekend. After attending camp, the England manager sent him a text to say while he hadn't made the team, he was on standby and had to keep himself fit until the 16th of June.

On Monday, he went back to his club for Fitness test. If he passed, he got 3 weeks holiday off, if he didn't pass, he would have to start pre-season early. Again all of this information was communicated to him by text, and his reply was to say yes sir or no sir.

So I don't understand all these your yarns about Text or no Text. That's literally how the players and coaches speak off season. It is only a prick that would now go and leak this information to the press.

raumdeuter:
Conte did not need to send that text. Keep your intentions in your mind, Get your new striker first before telling Costa to fuckoff.

I'm sorry Dayo but you're clearly chatting bollocks. Conte is well within his remit to tell his pllayer that he's no longer in his plans. Costa bing the unprofessional fool that he is, leaking confidential communation to the press is the only person in the wrong here...

What else can you hope to win after a victorious treble winning season Bros? Another community shield, efl and maybe europa loading


@ Nihilist

Costa is and has always being a pr1ck. How I wish he can get the berbatovs treatment by fergie and end up in Brighton.

The guy is a big fool.

I don't know what them Dayo are sayin. Managers text their players all the time. Conte Text Costa his fitness plan. Costa replied rudely. Conte then tells him to eff off. What's wrong with that? Esepcially as Costa was a big fool for most of last season

raumdeuter:
Conte sent him the text and he leaked it, why cant Conte just keep that text and allow his agent to still be shopping him around

So Conte should not tell his player what he wants again?

How do you think manager's communicate with their players during the off season? By Calabash?

afrodoc2:
If your boss sack you through text message you no go vex?

Funlord2:
So it was not vindictive of the coach to tell him to _fuck off via a text?

Costa has not been sacked. He was told what the coach wanted, but instead chose to try it on, and the coach had simply had enough of his antics.

Costa certainly did not not need to announce the existence of that text

raumdeuter:
Dont be so hard on your club, Kante is a great piece of business for that price, Tolisso might be a good player and he might also be a flop

One thing I disagree with is the way the Costa business was handled, It leaves Chelsea with little leverage, Costa is about same age as Higuain and I personally trust him more than Higuain, Higs was sold for 90M, Costa will easily command 65M plus in this market all things being equal but with the situation now, Potential Costa buyers will lowball you since they know he is surplus looking at 35M fee and you have to sell and those you are looking to replace Costa will squeeze the last juice from you because they know you are desperate
With Hazard fit, there are still obvious need for improvement in creativity, With Hidden injured I am not sure your attacking midfield is at the level to take on Europe as your options are now Pedro, and Willian.

Fabregas will he want to have another sit on the bench season?

Costa released that news specifically to hurt us in the market, the vindictive prïck

diggz:
I personally have come to this conclusion since the end of last season.
I am waiting to see the miracle Conte will make happen next season.

If there's anything I hate, it's when a defender is dribbled and left for dead from a standing position. Succumbing to Pogba's wiles last night is unforgivable

ToyinDipo:
Because of goals scored?

Goals scored are the only stats that matter when it comes to strikers. nobody cares about technique or haircut or colour of boot or any other arbitrary statistic.

A strikers has no other job on the pitch except putting the ball in the back of the net.

Btw I think last night should serve as a reminder to Conte.

Cahill's race is run, his goose is cooked, his watch has ended.

He's done.

bigkesh:
That boy is everything.... Everything

Dortmund set his price at 90m......For me that's a steal for any club

I am not worried about goals now....This guy uses both feet,the goals will come surely


Chelsea should pay the fucking 90m

lukaku multiple golden boot winner? pardon me if don't conunt winning d golden boot at Belgium as a major accolade..

Lukaku won the golden boot in Belgium in his debut season at the age of 16.

Show me another striker matching that feat before you turn up your nose at that fantastic achievement.

At age 16, I was spending most of my spare time mästurbating to Jlo music videos, so I when I see someone being great at that age, I respect it.

he's played at d highest level with two diff European giants..and Manu needs a winner,someone we know can play when d stakes are high...

Morata is not even a winner. He's an attaché.

If the only criteria is playing for European Giants then Kingsley Conan should be worth 60m as well.

Don't get me wrong o, im not saying that Morata is a bad player. I'm not even tackling united in going for him.

I'm just questioning the bare cheek of Madrid demanding 60m for a briefcase striker that hasn't achieved anything of note on an individual level, and has only scored more than 10 league goals exactly once in his entire career.

That's just madness imo.

ToyinDipo:
Judging by today's transfer market
What is the fair price for Lukaku
And what's the fair price for Morata

In today's market, Lukaku is certainly worth at least 60m

Morata is worth no where near that.

dubylhover:
let's wait nd c how much lukaku would b bought

Lukaku is a goal mahine. He guarantees goals. He is actually younger than Morata but has 145 goals to his name...and this includes Champions League and Europa goals. He has won multiple golden boots, and was unlucky to not even take it again this season gone. He has now scored at least 20 goals in 3 consecutive seasons, while Morata has never scored more than 15 league goals in his life.

If you put 68m on Lukaku, granted it's an inflated price, but at least you know you're buying goals. What are you buying with that amount on Morata?

ChristineC:
there are other indices that come into play and I believe you know that.
the age of player
length of contract left
wages/terms of current running deal
etc

place them side by side with Pierre Aubameyang and see for yourself.

quality players like Robert Lewandowski and Zlatan Ibrahimović moved for free doesn't make a Danny Welbeck paid switch to Arsenal a scam.

None of the indices you metioned there are actually relevant in determining if a striker with less than 60 total senior career goals is legitimately worth 68m, even after taking inflation into account.

It's good that you mentioned Welbeck because truly that is Morata's level. They even have a similar number of senior career goals. Can you imagine anybody paying 68m for Welbeck? I dont bloody think so!

ChristineC:
no player fee these days is a reflection of their quality. so?

I don't really know what £68m is. maybe if you can transfer it to moi akant leeme goan withdraw it and sheck very well

mind yasef dia

Its a lie. Even in this day and age of inflated prices, Morata for 68m is still a scam.

How can Morata go for 68m when Aubameyang is reportedly going for 60?

Innocent until proven guilty.

That's the way the law works mehn...

Innocent until proven guilty...

ChristineC:
a clause was input and activated by Real Madrid, else Juventus would never have sold at that price.

the same has been done for Memphis Depay and I think Adnan Januzaj and any other potential will get same clause; just in case. this is the new 'loan deal' these days.

£68m is just about fair for a player of his exposure and quality. Belotti, Romelu Lukaku, Dybala will all command similar fees if not more.

68m for Morata is never a fair reflection of Moratas quality .

Ees like you don't know it's Morata we're talking about. Morata with a whopping 58 senior career goals total.

Do you know what 68m is?

If somebody came and told me that Bykebyke was heard slandering Ororo, what does it prove except that Bykebyke is a hater?
