Lol, edu greed might ruin our league title chase


.not signing a €100m rated youngster when you know that the market is inflated is quite silly when you realise the position and condition we are in









I stand with Edu on this one brother. The difference between what we offered and what the gave was just 5m. No one should be held to ransom. To a very large extent I am more pissed at Mudryk, you led people on and then not even a little form of resistance. This happened with Sanchez, Gabriel M , Gabriel Jesus and so on, people are always particularly clear about what the want.

Present Chelsea over arsenal in choice? Hahahahaha. Nah bruv , I could even understand going to liverpool Man U and City but Chelsea with Potter( that team play like the pack everyone inside the field and shout 'do you' )


That money will get us like two or three players honestly.

I will we can recall Balogun instead of buying a new striker , It will give Nekky more confidence and respect.


This is our opportunity to get the title and the board are acting like a clown lol


We are martinelli or saka injury away from staring marqiunhos and smith Rowe lol ( and we are league leaders o)


A serious team like real madrid or psg will have gotten that mudryk deal done earlier but we have a board that can not take the risk to sign a great prospect.


Na this small club menatilty go make us lose saka and saliba very soon

BlueRayDick:
U are angry at Edu? What happened to Nicolas Pepe that was signed for over 70 million?

Instead of u to hope we bring in quality signing irrespective of the price tag, u are being annoyed at Edu not signing a player in a transfer situation that is beyond his control. There's no Guarantee Mudryk or whatever he's called will perform to our expectation. What we should be focused on is getting an option B that should be worth his onions as fans

TradingGod:
comparing pepe deal with this one is very strange

Because we know arteta talent ID is top notch, for arteta to go all in for that player means he is no ordinary kid you see out there, kid got that it factor for real

Pepe was signed by the board eventho emery wanted zaha

Pepe workrate is not great compared to this guy

PEPE IS NOT ARTETA SIGNING.


Man city backed pep with €100miion for grealish, that is how you back your manager by going for their choice

The market is inflated already, acting as if it's not inflated is pure foolishness, even madrid bought rydrygo for a big fee even thos he was a teenager with litlle experience


So you see my friend, in life we take big risk when we see the bigger picture.

This is why chelsea have won 2 champions league trophy and our only achievement is a trophy we won since 2004....very shameful

BlueRayDick:
Graelish was signed by citu for 100m and he's a flop as of today ( U can prove me wrong tho). Signing a player for a very humongous fee does not guarantee success hace my reference to Pepe not because I'm comparing Pepe as a player to Mudryk.

The earlier u realize Chelsea is not arsenal, the better for u If a coach has recommended a player to the board and those involved in negotiations have done everything possible to sign the player while keeping the books balanced, I don't see any reason for giving the club the stick for a negotiation that is beyond their control. Clubs hijack other clubs negotiations and it's not new.

The earlier u realize Chelsea is not arsenal, the better for u.

BlueRayDick:
Just look at this pix and answer on a postcard if Rashford wasn’t interfering with play before Bruno got there to put the ball past the keeper .

iamoyindamola:
Maybe kokane think interfering is touching the ball
I won't be surprise if something like this happen to us today

BlueRayDick:
That yesterday game just show the inconsistency of VAR. U saw the YouTube video I posted yesterday of Everton vs Man utd . They cancelled Everton’s goal because the Everton player was lying on the floor in offside postion where the ball passed before getting into the net. The player leg or body no touch ball o, na the position he dey on the floor injured make dem rule the goal disallowed .

That yesterday own worse because Rashford was right there over active sef .

Ray07:
I no be leeches fan o. Fully blooded united fan

kokaneprodigy:
I’ve also attached the rules
Read it again with an open mind

Jodera:
This your bolded ehh

But it's too early to judge Gakpo sha. I think this is his 2nd match.

Moreover I won't blame Gakpo yet especially in today's match. You guys midfield is dead and the sooner Klopp fixes it (either within or transfer market) the better for you guys.

I watched you guys play today and I'm like "where's the midfield"??

Jodera:
the rule that was infringed was

*Clearly attempting to play the ball which is close when this action impacts on an opponent

It's clear this is what Rashford did. It was only at the last minute he decides NOT to play the ball. By then HIS ACTIONS have already impacted on Man city's defence who were so focused on him and

Even the next rule after this particular rule was even defaulted too

kokaneprodigy:
He was running he never “ clearly attempt to play the ball”

kokaneprodigy:
He was running he never “ clearly attempt to play the ball”

Jodera:
He was running away from the ball?
Come on na!!

The distance he started his race and the time just in which he decided NOT TO play the ball is over 5meters in distance covered if I'm not wrong.

Tell me how someone who's chasing a ball for up to 5metres and defenders are charging at him is deemed as "not attempting to play the ball"?

No be so ball come meet am sef and he stood.
He blatantly CHASED THAT BALL in a dangerous zone. That itself is clearly and attempt. Whether he played it or not is another thing entirely

kokaneprodigy:
You see why I was not all out on Luiz and Mistaffi under Emery. Not like they were the best defenders out there but because they were easily scapegoated. We were playing a lethargic midfield of Guen, Xhaka and Willock as AM under Emery that season. The defense gets pummeled from kickoff to final whistle and you expect them not to leak in goals and make errors under intense pressure every minute of the match.

We are seeing it happen to Liverpool where’s VVD to save the day? The one they claim is the best thing to happen to Liverpool.

iamoyindamola:
Stop lying he even changed direction toward the ball
Haba

kokaneprodigy:
Did rule state you shouldn’t run towards the ball?

kokaneprodigy:
The rule never said you shouldn’t run towards the ball, if they didn’t want you to run towards it FA would have clearly stated it, as what counts as interference. na why I said y’all should read the rules and as much as you can avoid (though tempting) adding your own words.

Your second paragraph is speculative at best. you ain’t in his mind. You can never be sure he was running at it to “clearly attempt to play the ball”. Or are you saying every player than runs towards a ball plays it? Sometimes Players run towards a ball only for it cross the line and lead to a throwing.

Meanwhile the key phrase is “clearly attempt” not “attempt”

I repeat he didn’t “clearly attempt”.

Jodera:
How would you make an attempt without running towards ball bikonu??
That's logic na

It's like you saying you want my blood without piercing my skin. How does that happen??

kokaneprodigy:
First you run towards a ball, attempt comes after which you can decide to do or not do.

The point is running towards a ball is not sufficient to tag it a clear attempt to play a ball.

To cook my meal I first need to enter the kitchen but entering the kitchen does not automatically mean I want to cook. Hope you get. To drive my car I will have to go towards it and enter inside it, I could also go towards my car enter my car and not drive it.

Jodera:
You're just using "clearly" to make a case.

How is that not a clear attempt that he intended to play a ball when he ran over 5meters chasing said ball.

Like na toddlers we be wey dey watch ball ni?

Jodera:
In football, distance covered is very very essential in analysing things.

Did his actions (the run and distance covered) affected the way Man city defenders handled that situation? Yes or no!
The answer is obviously yes except if you just wan turn amala


I ask and I want you to answer me honestly.

If he didn't make that run, would Bruno have gotten that Ball to even shoot it?

iamoyindamola:
So what are you talk about he didn't attempt the ball

kokaneprodigy:
I’m not saying, on the contrary I’m reading the rules. It’s you who saying and assuming. In law assumption does not fly, a rule is a law. Reason they say in law ignorance is not an excuse.
Reason if you are signing a legal agreement the terms will be defined in simple words avoiding ambiguity as much as possible.

That “clearly” you saw there is to remove any ambiguity. Reason anything that counts as interference were stated.

Rashford did not “clearly attempt to play the ball”.

kokaneprodigy:
The question is speculative as I don’t know neither can you tell.
Even though I don’t see how Rashford’s pace affects Bruno’s.

Jodera:
How would you make an attempt without running towards ball bikonu??
That's logic na

It's like you saying you want my blood without piercing my skin. How does that happen??

Jodera:
Lol .. so you watched that ball Ystdy and you claim it wasn't clear

So give me an example of what Rashford would do in that situation that will be regarded as a clear attempt after covering that long distance.

I'll be patiently waiting
