Yea I get you, those are the factors Alex Teixeira (26 years) and Jackson Martinez (29 years) considered before leaving sure UCL football every season and signing for Jiangsu Suning and Guangzhou Evergrande respectively.

I will pretend like I didn't see that Fabregas Norwich/Watford example you gave up there.

There are players who are into in the game for the passion of playing, there are players who are into the game for the money, glamour and fame it would possibly bring to them.

I personally do not think Kante will leave Leicester to go and play for Chelsea when he knows there is a bigger picture and bigger opportunity for him if he plays for Leicester next season in the Champions League than for a Chelsea who currently are still trying to gather themselves together under a new coach.

Reality stinks at times.

Nihilist:
This humble brag had nothing to do with football...but thanks for letting us know that you roll with the rich.

Like your boxing rants has anything to with football on the manure thread? Abeg, go and siddon.

Griffon:
You're the one dreaming 'cos you're yet to wake up to the fact that money answereth all things.

Coquelin and Kante aren't pocketing up to 100k weekly at their respective clubs. Pataki you should know what a dying Chelsea is capable of achieving.

The same money you are boasting of, the likes of Watford, West ham, Tottenham, Everton, ati bebe lo, will boast of it too. Money does not answer all things. I know of a billionaire in West Africa, with all his legitimate investments in Africa and Europe, he is battling with depression. Only we, who are in his inner circle know about this. What everyone else sees on the outside of him is a simple plain easy going rich man.

That said, the days of CASHLEY COLE is now long gone in EPL.

You guys keep hammering it like a club CANNOT attract big name without Champions League football.

Last transfer Chinese cash splash in Europe should have been enough for a rethink.

Afterall it's just one season we will miss european football. Yes, just one season. Players looking at the bigger picture will know that Chelsea is a big club. European football is guaranteed, forget about this crazy season we had. Is the player signing for just one season?

Na wao...

Who knows how many seasons Chelsea will go before they ever smell continental football again? There are various factors big name players consider before they sign for clubs. One of such factors is, are they going to play in European Championships? You think a Cesc Fabregas will leave Barcelona to go and sign for Norwich or Watford, in this day and age where you can make so much money from global marketing brands if you are featured in continental matches?

Or you think a certain Kante who fought tooth and nail to make sure his club features in European Championship season will suddenly, let it all go and decide to play for a Chelsea? What is the incentive? Every player looks at the opportunity they have at the moment and grab it. Football is a game that one season you are fantastic, the next season you are probably on crutches. So forget all these bigger pictures you are painting here. Na Emenalo dey see bigger picture.

From Chambers to Coquelin to Kante? For a club that that will not even feature in CL, heck! Even EUROPA league, no show.

How wonderful it must be, to be a fantastic dreamer.

Has Benzema been cleared of the court case he has on him? Anyways, I don't even like that country called France. This is why I am rather happy that Coquelin was not selected into that team. Hopefully BOSSCIELNY and Giroud will also not suffer any injury at the tournament.

Good luck to that country. Not my cup of tea.

Scummies will always be scummies. See in-house fighting amongst babies. Page upon page filled with recycled baby insults. Kontinu mijn sheedren.

Abeg, who is manure signing or has signed already? Serious clubs are already going out to buy players, Manure fans are here stating, MOANINGWHORE has nothing to prove.

What a time to be a manure fan!

iPopAlomo:
I no go lie... I didn't want to watch this clip cos I no wan raise my hope... are we signing him for sure...?! it's a mystery...

Then the clips only shows his tackling which is very impressive but his heading ability nko...?!

Stoke City won't look to Play to feet... they'd rather employ long balls into the 18... I still think he's found wanting in the aerial duels department... another Mangala...

I think he is a massive massive improvement to Per. Aerial ability, the video does not show it. But he stands at 6'2. Per is 6'4. Combined with the speed he has in those legs of his, alongside his very good shooting range and dexterity, it is an insult to equate him to Mangala.

There are reports that Arsenal is considering him. Playing with the likes of Higuain surely must have improved him on marking with intelligence.

I like him and he is far better than Gabriel and Per in my own view.

iPopAlomo:
If you were wise... you'd shut up... we finished second with Le Coq in the league... remind us your position with a certain Herrera...?!

And when I was mentioning for a better DM to be named... Kante comes first... Herrera...?! wetin kpomo dey find inside chicken stew...

Chai! Jesus is Lord! Jaguar na my persin oh!

What do you guys think of this guy? I think he is the perfect CB we are looking for.

Fight don finish? Lailai!

Nihilist, abeg answer Ibime na. Give am correct uppercut, make him go sleep for him vacation.

We trust you are more than capable. Fo imu e!

Spy360:
How about Alvaro Morata for £38m. Worth it?

Cc Pataki, Proudlysport, Roland17, Edi287, Kokaneprodigy, sod09

Football these days cannot be wholly evaluated based on the price tag of a player.

Is Morata a Wenger-esque type of player? I believe so. Is he worth the amount projected? Nope, I personally don't think he is.

pamcode:
what happened to Mertersacker? I believe he was the former captain.

Mikel Arteta was the former captain. Per was his vice.

EmeeNaka:
But why are there more SWners and Northerners among these exposed looters? it means that East were merely supporting GEJ while the people of those zones were busy getting all the money

Alison the witch is from the SW or a Northerner too?

The foolish former Minister of Finance is from the SW or a Northerner too?

Tribalism makes you sound like a diseased goat. See how intellectually foolish you tribalists are.

Welcome Xhaka! Man of Steel!

Not afraid to get into a tackle, just one aspect we have been missing right from the Viera years.

Now to find that 30 goals a season striker and a CB Rock who will partner with our new Captain BOSSCIENLY!

herbie27:
Since you have data to quote me, use it to brows google for the answer to that question and don't be silly!

I should have viewed your profile first before even quoting you. See as your lips look like toasted burnt bread sef.

herbie27:
And you are gullible enough to believe what APC lead government says to the masses.

If GEJ pocketed 100% of the fund allocated for projects, then what did he use in paying for the projects he executed?.

Which projects did he execute? Please highlight just one project even in ordinary Bayelsa State that his government executed.

Somebody should give Nurse Metuh paracetamol. Go and finish your court case in time, then you can travel to the UK for your medical check-up.

Odanran fe sa lo!

AdeLaNa1:
First it was DDG ll leave us for Madrid. Now its LVG wont get sacked. And am just looking at u like...

And why have you failed to quote my post about your beloved Merefish? Or that one is not relevant again when Prophet Pataki speaks about your useless club?

In other news, WELCOME XHAKA GRANIT!

So we can actually go to that uber useless league to capture an excellent player and leader like Xhaka?

Now a CB, and a ST, please dear Arsenal. Roland17, what say ye?

The day my club spends over £250 million, only to be dumped in EUROPA league and be celebrating FA Cup, that is when I can define what mediocrity is.

adeyemi2015:
Pataki, Ram, Nihilist and Co at the moment......!!!!

After spending £250 million, you are celebrating something we won back-to-back? What utter mediocrity!

AdeLaNa1:
It is over. LVG wont want to park bus. Crystal palace will finish us dis 2nd half

See your brain like Smalling!

What a daft daft player Smalling is.

Airmark, please get me that latest Pardew gif dance.

Up Manure!

A40:
Go and lick your wounds very well. Don't be in a hurry to get up from the canvas. The blow I have lined up for you would be worse than the blow Werdum suffered last night. Butthole pirate

Zip it, you fetid lapdog. Your words had no value to be honest. You are glorified nuisance who feels Nairaland is the only place to make relevance. Over 40 years of age, and yet you have nothing to celebrate in your life, yet you have the time to line up blow, whatever the messed-up shit that means to you. Cyber-life of a nuisance aka Arindin40.

Dear Spurs,

Please finish second next season, that way we Arsenal fans are assured of bagging the league.

Yours sincerely,

Gunner Pataki.

St. Totteringham's Day continues.

Spy360:
Arsenal can still finish second if they win their remaining 2 matches. Tottenham are now vulnerable having lost the title and they have Europa chasing Southampton and relegation threatened Newcastle left to play.

Prophet Spy360! My guy!!!!

Mikel Artetaaaaaa

We will surely miss you. Thanks for everything. Wish you all the best in your coaching career.

I will really miss Newcastle next season.

I wish Wenger will also go for Wijnaldum.

Happy St. Totteringham's Day nevertheless!

Wenger, we need a striker!!
