We went from Raphinha to Richarlison to Gabriel Jesus to a 21yr old English player who have never scored 10goals a season for the same amount with the rest, £50m

Chelsea and juve are going for two want away players. Juve will be getting the younger for free with little compensation but we will be getting the older one for almost 30million.
Is this not madness?. Dem no sabi bargain?

Ivan Toney wey be 5'11

Go check wetin Toney do am last week

Bully Martinez?? go find out why he was named The Butcher.

The same 5'8 was one of the highest in aerial duels last season. Defending is not by height.

Or do you think Puyol and Cannavaro will struggle in EPL?

It's called football for a reason; the reason is that it's played on the ground not in the air. Though this can be done in the air too when you meet teams who play negative football Iike Burnley and Stoke city.

Franco Baresi is considered by many as the greatest defender of all time. At just 5ft9, this man played in the era where teams played with tall traditional #9 and was excellent.

Height is great no doubt but it's not the hallmark for a defender. If it's by height then players like Hangeland, Matersacker, Dan Burn, Kris Ajer, Naldo, Jannik Vastergaard, Adam Casey, Yerry Mina, Metzelder would've been world beaters.

I mean the only defender to win world best was just 5ft9 (Canavaro). Even Mascherano at 5ft9 was on the pitch when Barca won their 4th and 5th UCL.

Puyol, Alaba, Canavaro, Baresi, Beckenbauer all under 5ft11 but top class.

Put the "tall" Maguire in Martinez position against Liverpool yesterday and watch chaos at its very best.

Like I said, height is always going to be an advantage but never the end, just a means to an end.

A tall attacker who doesn't know how to jump shey?

Like I said, let's see when you guys are expected to attack and he's been targeted. I won't use ystdy game to judge because you guys on his height issues

Watch the highlight of Ajax VS Dortmund to see how 6'4 Haaland was tamed by the butcher.

Apt.

This height merchants are the same set of people who believe that as a DM you must have muscle and be very fast

Football is 90% brain work.

Only 1 of Brentford goals came via header and I think that was the 4th goal. The players were already demoralized and all over the place. I just hope you don't see man united concede a goal, and then you think its because they have a 5'8 CB

Nahh... I'm not agenda based too be doing such a cheap shot like that.

I watched Brighton and Brentford game and I knew how he was targeted for any out ball they had making them winning either the first balls or 2nd balls. Make we dey watch sha

@thtimes

Chelsea wants to buy the Portuguese Havertz too. Omo the tears and lamentations here will be juicy.

patrickmuf:
If he had signed for Arsenal, we for no hear all this ones...

Reports that time suggested arsenal wanted to play him as a DM for Partey's deputy. Romano Fabrizio few days ago confirmed arsenal wanted to use him as a Lb. I would have had reservations against his signing if I read he was wanted for an Lcb instead of the DM or Lb

Kilishihunter:
Nope, Liverpool kept spamming the ball into the box at different intervals esp the last 15 mins and I know I saw him get to the ball before anyone else several times, I'm not saying he won't be targeted by taller powerful forwards or he'll be beating his opponent eveytime, My point still remains being short doesn't mean you'll suck at CB, two major advantages the good ones among them tend to have is that they are able to quickly anticipate and snuff danger around them (interceptions) due to their lower centre of gravity to the ground and it also makes them work on their jump power, He's good at that, his former CB partner at Ajax Timber is 5 ft 10 and almost like him though less polished and aggressive

Well, make we dey watch sha. You made valid points

Was this before or after DDG and Eriksen dashed them Brighton two goals and another was scored via counter? None had anything to do with aerial balls.

The morale of the team was already low, and they were all over the place. What Martinez has going for him is his pace and strong heart. That's all he needs, as long as he does not have a useless, slow partner beside him

not only is rtuchel mismanaging the team ,he is also mismanaging the funds , funny enough when he buys the player he wants,na still defense en go play

I'm not talking about the goals. In fact I don't blame him for that Ben Mee goal.

Well, now that he has an able partner with Varane lemme see how it goes for now

Instead of this german allardyce to use that 60m for a midfielder that can hold the ball and feed our forwards since we are getting abumeyang. It is that pace merchant Gordon dry gin he wants to waste that money on. When our wingbacks become useless going forward just like against Everton maybe he will sub himself inside and be throwing passes to the front. If abumeyang flops like lukaku because of little chances coming then he will see what holy boehly will do to him.

We could have used Ziyech since but it is when the transfer market will soon close that we are now trying to panic buy. If leao comes where will he even play since Sterling and abumeyang have taken the positions he knows how to play well.

Trevoh Chalobah's move is on loan to ac milan

You guys are funny i swear,!! What is wrong with Buying Gordon for 60m? Are you guys not aware of the current inflated TW or the Fact that boehly is new and Naive to this game! Gosh. Why are we taking it Personal and trying to make these useless red fans Laugh at us... When they are the Mugu Money Spenders Personified.... Our Problem is Tuchel. I have watched gordon and he is a fantastic Lad (21 years) with room for improvement....... Allow Boehly fortify this team. We are competing in the champions League not Europa... Nawa ooooo!!!

Tuchel getting Aubameyang and Anthony Gordon may see a change in formation to 433 with Mount moving to midfield

you like Anthony Gordon, but do u like mason mount?

Yes nah
... Mount is the future. Our only Problem is Tuchel's Defensive Mindset!!

Expert17:
Lol, height doesn't win headers it's timing that wins headers.

They will learn by force.

Until you meet Crouch.

Remember how some said these players are Lampards player and not Tuchel, well Tuchel is going to spend 60m on a Lampard player lmao

Ihebu4chelsea:

which yeye defensive mindset are u talking about

3-4-3 3-5-2

Ac Milan wanted Ziyech on loan too before we didn't hear anything again. I just hope we will not loan him to sell him later like tomori and start complaining later.

Ihebu4chelsea:
3-4-3 3-5-2

and U think its line that determines how a team plays, lol, Mou will use 4 at the back and still park trailer

After Chelsea signs Fofana, Aubameyang and Anthony Gordon

And Tuchel still changes to 433 or stays with 343 and still doesn't win

James Fofana Koulibaly Cucurella
Ampadu
RLC Mount
Gordon Aubameyang Sterling
