emmyluizzz:
very good bro
you still dey that area?

timbros:
Stay on track. Don't deviate.

Amount spent is not the issue. The issue is, which department did the board FIRST fix? Whether the signing was bought £1b or £0 is not the issue.... Which position did the board deem fit to recruit first?

lordfalcao:
Getting dhuran means the club sees Jackson as very important player for present and future.

They are impressed with his improvements last season

airmark:


Na Bida Tortoise f.c you suppose dey support.

andrewbaba44:
I don’t agree with mbappe but his perspective is understandable .

Lastly the euros can never be more difficult than the World Cup .

End .

kingBolton:
Wetin Bida people do you

airmark:
Then we want to remain a midtable team. No true Chelsea fan should support this.

drisham:
That is it ..he has every right to say so

He has made the finals of the 2 world cups he has played in his career ..won 1 and scored loads of goals in them

If he feels the euros is harder no one has the right to challenge him

andrewbaba44:
Everyone with a World Cup medal has the right to challenge him ,which one be no one ?

Euros na smelling for where World Cup Dey ,nobody tried to downplayed the World Cup till a certain midget won it .

nateevs:
Sir you are overstating this point. For the umpteenth time, it is not true. Whether we will become mid- level or not will not come down to our no 9 scoring more than 15 goals.

It will come down to a combination of tactical strength and adaptability of the side, as well as support casts scoring 10 or more goals.

Arsenal don't have a high- scoring number 9. They are not mid-table.

Below is a screenshot of Madrid team share of 87 goals scored in the league last season. There's no high- scoring no 9. Surely they are not mid-table.

airmark:
He is the replacement of Silva that just left and we didn't drop a penny. Rest.

timbros:
The same board "foolishly" brought in Palmer. Or was it Airmark that sign Palmer for Chelsea?

Was it only last season that we have injured defenders?

If you were our board, Tosin wouldn't be a Chelsea player by now. You would have been chasing Ukrainian average player while other smart clubs would have snapped Tosin.

Thank God our board don't think like you.

airmark:
I recommended 2 better strikers/finishers than Jackson. 1 LWF better than Sterling and Mudryk and a CB, Silva's replacement. We don't need to waste money on any new LB.

timbros:
Was it an attacker transfer?

Priority was given to defence.

Ibime:
Na only me and you support Palmer for here

Griffon:
Omo eh. I hear say Cole Palmer is on his way.

Am I not serving a living God?!

From his experience, Mbape may actually be right lol...

Mbappe has played the world cup final twice winning it once, also winning the golden boot in the process. Mbape is yet to win the Euros and in his last euros, he didn't score any goal and I think had just 1 assist. For me, it's not out of place for him to think that a competition he has dominated is easier from his experience as a top star.

But the fact is, Euro winners=Best team in Europe. Word cup winners = best team in the world. Italy won the Euros last time out but couldn't even qualify for the world cup since they last played it in 2010. In the finalisima, Argentina(Copa champs) dominated and thrashed Italy(Euro champs)3:0 and it easily could've been more. I know say nah tinpot but the story would've been different if Italy had won that game with the aforementioned scoreline.

Greece won the Euros with average players, Portugal won the Euros without winning a single group game. Them no born Greece well make them use those players win world cup.
Not because Messi won it but the world cup has always been a top competition and greater than all and no be today I don dey follow am. It's incredibly hard to win.

I rate Boateng but you can tell that the world cup is the reason why raumdeuter rates him ahead of top players like VVD and Thiago Silva. Although Schillaci was good but him finishing 2nd in the balondor was because of his exploits in Italian 90. The world cup remains a dream for all footballers and by far, in my opinion the hardest to win.

Like Mabape, Messi also played two finals winning it once. Best player twice.

But for Mbape and others, to each their own and I respect all their opinions!

Baba, we don't have a Vinicius, Bellingham, that will get us those numbers and carry our wasteful Jackson, without getting sidelined for a lengthy period. Both are strong contenders for Balon d'or and I will be surprised if our best player makes top 20.

Also, none of our attackers will start upfront for Madrid, and Palmer will struggle to start for Arsenal. Ancelotti with average materials at Everton is enough to trash this your Madrid point. Fans will use koboko to chase Sterling and Jackson out of Bernabeu stadium before the season ends.

Arsenal are now out looking for a potent striker as that's a major thing that separated them from City last season. Despite having Jesus and Havertz, they are all out now for a natural striker as they don't want to remain pretenders. This is Epl where many teams have mastered the art of doubling and closing down the wingers, once they realize you have wasteful CF, they will be eager to sting you on counters.

Which 2 of Sterling, Mudryk, Nkuku will stay injury-free and guarantee you 15+ goals without PK to complement Palmer's goals (assuming Palmer is not injured) and take us to the summit?

Forget change of tactics that you are talking about. We created numerous big chances last season, the issue has always been the players not capable of burying the big chances. The so-called wrong or weak tactics most times put us on top 3 of big chances created every week.

There's no need of changing tactics that created numerous clear-cut chances just to accommodate wasteful strikers. Change the main culprits at the end of those chances missed, abeg.

airmark:
This should be Jackson's replacement while we go for Dovbyk or Gyokeres. I don't want to suffer migraine next season.

Ihebu4chelsea:
Lol. He feels Roman is still our owner! Good old days....... Most times i just go to youtube and watch our games during Roman era to make myself happy..

nateevs:
The problem is that you are paying attention to the wrong things. If we conceded half the goals we did from last season, we would be in the CL. The club know this for a fact from data analysis, and Maresca knows this for a fact from data analysis. This is why they are not running after a 100million, high-volume, Oshimhen-like player.

nateevs:
If Arsenal are in the market for a volume poacher, why are they not going in for your Dovbyk? They were trying to sign Sesko. Whilst Sesko is a fine player (I mentioned two seasons ago that we should sign him), he is not a high-volume poacher. I don't see them in the market for Gyokeres either. Why not?

nateevs:
Yes, it is true that we do not have a Vinicius and Bellingham at the same time in the team. But this is exactly what the club is building towards.

If Palmer goes on another 20/30 GA season, with 80% of the performances from last season, he will be on Balon 'dor shortlist instantly. If Micheal Olise equals or betters his CP goal tally from last season, he will be in the 15/20 GA range.

If Jackson equals or betters his GA from last season, then he's also doing 15/20 GA. And if I am right and the club is looking for a high-volume scoring winger like Summerville to add to the cast, then we are there.

No one is shelling 100m on a player that will score only 10 goals more than Jackson. Get with the programme.

The powerful, pacy, left-footed Duran is the next ninjah we are backing. This ninjah we know.

airmark:
This is untrue and you know it. Info we got is, Osimhen wouldn't fit into Maresca's style and his last season's performance didn't hit the roof as the penultimate season probably due to injuries (which might even be a concern). Another striker near the 100m, Gyokeres is at present injured.

There may still be casualties and revelations during the Euros, hence, most teams are not in a rush. The hesitation on getting strikers, is not about defence being our major problem sir.



Euros is around the corner bro, teams are cautious. Even the rumor that Athletico Madrid have nabbed Dovbyk, no funds have been disbursed yet. Just personal terms reportedly agreed. It's too early to jump into conclusion when a player bought this week may get injured during the Euros.



Jackson is unripe to play at Chelsea for now. He should go on loan and develop, we can't be sinking because of his wastefulness. Duran can even shoot better than him and he is younger.

Despite the fact that Madrid won the Ucl with Vini and Jude as their key players, they have added Mbappe. That's a trio that will give you constant double digits and Madrid understood the assignment that competition will be tougher next season and must not be caught napping. Why can't we learn from such template and change a wasteful Striker and get our own trio that will not score a paltry out of numerous chances created? We are competing with Man city and an Arsenal team that may get a natural striker next season.

Thazard:

Ballzproblem2:
so Lima and diong are heading to Strasbourg not loan ,but permanent deal, that's nice.


I'm guessing same with that Nigeria striker

nateevs:
I knew any minute now, you would bring Mbappe. Let's talk figures. Mbappe scored 20 non-penalty goals last season. That's only 6 more than Jackson.

Let that sink in.

nateevs:
Now you want us to sign Mbappe don't you? . He will fit Maresca's system, even if Osimhen wouldn't. But he will cost £250m minimum. And £500k in weekly wages. Just so we can get 10 goals now than Jackson?

The club say no to this.


It is true that ultimately, Osimhen

nateevs:
Sir, you are being left behind. You are analysing football data from who you like and don't like. We all accept that Jackson is profligate in front of goal. But his profligacy is of a different kind. Despite his shortcomings, he's actually scoring goals. Dude will score 20 goals, and you will be clamouring to spend 100m on another ninjah that will come in and score 27 goals.
