Chelsea winger, Mykhailo Mudryk could face up to a four-year ban after testing positive for performance-enhancing substance meldonium.

This is even worse than pogba and onana case, plus the delay

diggz:
Make we manage am. He definitely looks way better than Madueke on the left, and better than any other option we have right now. He might even turn out to be a better choice than the guy from Dortmund. I no like most things wey dey come from raumdeuter league.

I will prefer Madueke to garnacho simply because Madueke is a budding talent and doesn't dye his hair. What are you smoking?

This club World Cup is filled with amateurs. The quality currently is meh

Can you explain, in football terms, why you prefer Madueke over Garnacho?

Don't let the love for Jakujaku Jackson kill you.

Does this screenshot translate to everyone in your initial post?

I love Jackson as much as I love every player wearing the blue jersey.

Sportsweb:
To sell Nicolas Jackson de fear me. That guy is talented, I don't know why he hasn't fixed his shooting and scoring.

Jackson be like who will unlock in another club.

His shooting is his biggest weakness, bar that, he’s a very decent forward esp off the ball.

You rarely find strikers who occupy the defenders. An effective occupying of the defenders drags them out of position which ultimately creates passing lanes and spaces for the likes of Palmer, Madueke and Neto to exploit and score.

Jackson does this effectively, the only reason you’re not seeing us scoring so high is because those ninjas NJ creates spaces for are either profligate or play with hindsights. This is the singular reason why myself and the likes of nateevs and Ibime believe NJ isn’t entirely the problem upfront rather his supporting cast.

Weeks ago we saw Dembele playing as a false 9 for PSG. He only had one job to do - drag the defenders out of position, while Doue and Kvara carries out the damage. If na some Einsteins for here, they’ll be clamoring for Ronaldo de Lima to lead the line, forgetting that football has gone past the stage when traditional no9 is everything.

Jackson in either of Barca, City, Madrid, PSG, Arsenal etc is great asset. If you know you know.

The boy will cook in a team with a good attacking band.

Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund remain in contact for Jamie Bynoe-Gittens with new bid to follow.

Bynoe-Gittens only wants Chelsea and BVB are aware of his decision, now up to the clubs.

Talks underway again.

(Via Fabrizio Romano)

It’s looking like Gittens will join us.

From what I’ve heard over the past few weeks, we have been unsuccessful with offers of £30m and £42m for the lad. Albeit Dortmund are prepared to sell him, they only want around £47m.

According to Fabrizio, a third bid is being prepared, and this ultimately should be the last.

Gittens has already agreed personal terms with us and a seven-year-contract. He wants the move, it’s now between us and Dortmund.

Moreover, it’s being reported that Madueke is uncomfortable playing down the LW position. He looks far comfortable playing on the opposite wing, where he can cut infield on his stronger left foot and where majority of his career has been spent.

With Sancho gone and Mudryk facing a doping ban, we definitely MUST reinforce that LW and we could have our man in Gittens.

Well cherki, hmm. Interesting formation used by pep especially the midfield hmm

We must not sell Jackson, he will come good, let's not make the KDB/Salah mistake

Jackson in where will cook! Dont annoy the gods by repeating this statement anywhere. Those five clubs are way above his league to be wasting chances

Raumdeuter, you have no shame wasting all your goals on part time footballers

From a tactical standpoint, I think Maresca expects his wingers to exploit the spaces NJ creates, this is the first demand. Last season, the bald one was always emphasizing how we’re a “different team” when Jackson plays. However, those demands are hardly met by our attacking options.

Looking at Gittens and his style of play, he simply loves to run into spaces then shoots at the slightest chance. He will thrive playing alongside NJ, I have no doubt about that and I believe Maresca has identified that as well.

You have to look at Netos goal against LAFC to understand the impact of Jackson when leading the line. Not a great scorer but an overall team player. We simply need scoring wingers who can utilize the spaces he creates and we’re good.

Air.mark, come and see the people hindering the progress of chelsea. Instead of praying for a prolific goalscorer, they are hanging on to a below average striker to come good

Liverpool and PSG didn’t need a prolific striker to win the league and UCL respectively.

What does that say?

I want to believe you’re a good pundit and can answer this question accurately without regurgitating the stale “we need a prolific striker” line.

That city fan in th3 midst of the Tunisian fans is funny ehn

BlewMahn:
Last 11 games looking crazy. Five of those are against the traditional big six, two against teams that have made the UCL in the past couple of years, two against tricky teams that have been competing for European places recently, and one is away at Everton.

I'm really hoping we get whatever business we have going almost done by that time, because depending on the form we take into those games, and how deep we go in Europe, we may still be needing to go into some games as must-win, like this just concluded season, which wouldn't be nice

Follow him go Aston villa. We need top quality striker.

European teams are ridiculing the quality of their football. This is an embarrassing display by city.

If not for this club World Cup, I would have thought most European teams will be putting 7 or more past these local teams.

Imagine replacing Haaland with Jackson with 1 goal in 13 matches, Fraudiola now relying on Doku and Savinho to be scoring 20+ goals needed to win the league.

Ronald17, they said Jackson will cook at Arsenal, oya bring stove funds for him.

Heard Thiago Silva do an interview in English. He's getting much better at speaking the language.

Rico red seems harsh but it's boot to the face

don't be too hyped about gittens, madueke also loves to run into space, dribble and shoot till maresca decided to bench him and push him to lw.

as for Jackson I get he is good, a good forward but not a striker, if we had a tactics and high scoring attackers that would make sense

are you confident that a front three of gittens jackson neto will give us goals regularly?

Estevao Jackson Gittens.

That’ll cook!

Alonso's Madrid take centre stage for the first time

Milinkovic-Savic with the first threatening moment of the game, good save.

That man is definitely coming to manage us sometime in the future.

Al hilal have been the better side. Trent don already dey misbehave. Goal scored but flag goes up

Dem dy do tiki taka onto Madrid head Omo. Dem mount that left wing
