Ousmane Dembele was a very hot youngster in Europe when Barcelona signed him. His lifestyle choices cost him greatness.
By the way, i didn't say she was bad. I said you guys hype her too much as if she's a god!


If she's is the best at what she does and you can't really point to anyone better than her at the moment, is the hype misplaced?

I feel he may be a very important signing this summer, and a valuable asset to the midfield as an 8 and 6

Never really understood those Basmati links. Tuchel likes technical midfielders who are good on the ball.

Happy we got Saul hopefully it becomes permanent season end. cool

Havertz10:
saul is having serious issues with his confidence, he signed a 9 year deal a few years back, that Atletico are considering loaning someone that was once considered a key player for them with more than 5 years left on his deal, should tell you that he is no longer that player that you are thinking that he is, saul is very versatile and isn't particularly good at anything, I hope that united get him, cause it will be a very stupid transfer for any club Involved, that's how Chelsea bought kepa when his flaws were glaring for all to see, premier league clubs are very ignorant about Spanish clubs affairs and consider players that have thrived there as exotic and talented automatically
before you guys start dragging saul, please remember the bolded, don't expect him to suddenly become a starman, tuchel has a very poor record with players like him, schurrle and goetze are recent examples, let's be open minded and accept him whichever way he is, if he can get back in form good, if he can't, good.

“At 11:57 p.m. we finished reviewing the contract and they had to see it there … I was like De Gea. I thought: ‘This is not going to come in and that’s it.’ It has been a long afternoon and night.

“My wife was very nervous, we have had some very complicated days, because this decision is not easy. Leaving my house on a new adventure is complicated.”

"The only negative was not playing in my position [at Atletico]," Saul said in an interview with Ibai Llanos on Twitch.

"I could not show what I would like. I had a block in my head that did not allow me to play in another role. Chelsea's option was to leave my comfort zone. It won't be easy to get into that team."

A box-to-box midfielder, Saul is at his best operating in a central role, though his versatility and work-rate has often seen him deployed out wide by Simeone.

Saul made only 22 league starts last season, his lowest figure since 2014-15. This perhaps explains why he ranked only fourth in the Atleti squad for attempted tackles in the top tier, with 57.

However, since August 2019, only Real Madrid's Casemiro (190) had attempted more tackles by a midfielder than Saul (159) in LaLiga.

We’re delighted to welcome @saulniguez to the club on a season-long loan! #HolaSaul

— Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) August 31, 2021

"At Chelsea I will train in my position. Then we will see if I play. That is the biggest cause of my decision," Saul added.

"I want to go to Chelsea, try the experience and then see what happens. I don't want to think further. I want to go, compete and help Chelsea.

"Personally, I want to go back to being the Saul that I want to see. I don't want to see the Saul that you've seen these last two years. I was very frustrated not being able to show people what I am capable of."

The emboldened line up there does it for me. The competition is phucking real at Chelsea. Thats the stuff champs are made of.

The announcement video was cool as always, but there wasn’t any images of Saul with a Chelsea shirt and this is because he stayed in Spain last night whilst the deal was being completed and did all his part of the deal digitally.

So when will he be partaking in media duties? Well, according to the man himself, as we have reported and provided the full transcript for here at Si & Dan Talk Chelsea, he thinks he is doing media duties today when he flies in to London, which you’d also expect to be the official interview with the club.

Saul said:

“I don’t know what my plan is for tomorrow. Probably when I arrive I will go to the hotel and then immediately to training. Later, I will probably have to spend time with the club media, do interviews, photos…

“I’m looking forward to the trip, I’m about to go packing my suitcase. I want to be there and start a new adventure.”
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Griffon(m): 8:53am On Sep 01, 2021
Apparently, this guy was unhappy at ATM because he was being played out of position hence the regress.

Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic, and Saul Niguez for the midfield duties.

Good addition IMO.

Malang Sarr has seen a possible loan move to Grether Furth fall apart on deadline day.

The 22-year-old was seen as someone very likely to leave the Stamford Bridge club on Tuesday.

However, French outlet Foot Mercato states that even though Sarr travelled to Germany, his move was not completed on time.

Griezmann rejoined ATM for 35m. A stomach-churning £73million loss for Barca after signing the Frenchman for £107million in 2019.

Chelsea have not given up on signing Sevilla centre-back Jules Kounde and could return for him in January, according to the Guardian.

The Blues were strongly linked with the Frenchman all summer, but after the La Liga club refused to let him leave for anything less than his £65million release clause.

Kounde had been linked with other clubs, but it was Chelsea who he had his heart set on signing.

Sevilla Sporting Director Monchi said: "There's been a lot of talk about moves made for Jules, the majority of which were rejected by the player.

"If there was one club he liked the look of, it was Chelsea."

FOR THE RECORDS!

“I don’t want Pogba to go but if he does go I’d take Saul Niguez all day long. Not like-for-like but still a top player.

“What a player. I’ve been harping on about Saul Niguez for a few years now.

“I think he’s a major player. He’s composed, calm, great left foot, lovely conductor, he can score goals, tactically he’s very aware. You can see [Diego] Simeone, he gets his teams really well set up and he’s in the middle orchestrating and dictating things.”

- Rio Ferdinand (April 2020)

Oya forgive.. You no wan take stand upon Saul, you dey fear grin

By the way Marina bought Morata £60m loaned him and sold him for £58m, Zappacosta cost us £18 and was sold £8m, with one year left and 4 years older. Kepa won us Europa and Super cup, was poor because of Lampard's poor defensive tactics. the only lose their na Drinkwater, as she don even recoup Bakayoko money

I ignored that foolish post didn't expect others to stupidly agree with him. Like it is very obvious someone has done a good job, even at cleaning up her mistakes, things the like of united bosses and barca can never do

Calm down Sis, no be fight.

Marina is a good negotiator when the target is set, but she is a poor decision maker on picking targets. Na the long and short of the matter be that.
