Nihilist:
I am completely unbothered. That guy is certainly not as good as the hype train here suggests.

bigkesh:
Whether he turns out better than we thought or not,his signing still doesn't prove we are going in the right direction

We are looking at playing a pivot of Baka and Kante,the duo that registered 2 goals and 3 assists combined last season

Common sense dictates that we sign a creative but defensive strong playmaker to partner Kante

Baka and Kante might win us the CL, I mean Meireles,Ramires and Mikel did,but in the long run it is a bad deal

If those in charge think Baka and Kante is the way to go then we are not in safe hands

sinizia:
I've never watch that guy play so I don't know how good he is, but what if he wasn't Conte kind of player?

Funlord2:
Veratti drops it like it's hot! Tells psg:


"I NEED TO BOUNCE".....oya everybody grab your cheque books and let's do this?

lordfalcao:
he is definitely not Conte's type

sinizia:
E be like say you dey my mind. The clubs coming for that guy go be top top clubs. And he'll cost nothing less than £80m. It's gonna be hot chase.

timbros:
What primarily should be our target next season? If that partnership could give us UCL, why the complain?

sinizia:
I tire. I don't understand this outcry for Chelshit fans. He hasn't even kicked a ball yet and his season with Monaco wasn't bad at all. Let the guy play before destroying him.

this is what I ve been saying, it's like we are preparing to finish outside top 4

Tval:
Sanchez is joining City? Guardiola to play 2-4-4?

lordfalcao:
I never see anything wey d guy dy do to merit hype

Ibime:
Sometimes when you see basic lack of first touch in a player, you don't need to give him a chance first before becoming sceptical.

How Bakayoko made UCL team is a question for another day.

6 goals conceded Vs City in 2nd round
3 goals conceded Vs Monaco in QF
4 goals conceded Vs Juve in semifinal

That is not successful DM play.

Segadem:
I don't understand

Diademk07:
LOL!

Bakayoko isn't different from Kante. Why have another Kante in the midfield when Kante is already 2 players? I thought Chelsea would be looking to get a playmaking CM this summer but alas! Bakayako has come to stay. Lmao

The point is Chelsea would likely become more predictable with such midfield and makes it easy for the opponents. Opponent would only need to mark the wing, Hazard and Kante runs and Chelsea is a goner..

Who is more top than united? The only thing that can stop this move is manchesters weather or his family! Everything else he wants financially can be gotten the most from united! Na him sabi...options yapa this summer so for now let's dance with barca and Juve!

Segadem:
Who? Pep or Sanchez?

I dey here dey look, I don know some of us wey still believe say Bakayoko no too bad and could be a great signing


I don sabi doz pple wey no happy with the signing.

Maybe Conte wants to pair Baka and Kante with Fab the creator in front of them, dem no know, na so so complain complain una dey complain.
All I know is that,
Yoko can't be worse than that foolish, 'tall-4-nothing Matic.

Chelseafan1:
Ramdeuter, how true is this?

raumdeuter:
How true is what

Nihilist:
Lol not from what me I've seen o. Nothing I've seen or heard about that guy suggests that he's the saviour to me sha.

Ibime:
This is not about Matic. We are looking for replacement for Matic, just not Bakayoko.

The mistakes Bakayoko made in the 5 games I watched him alone is more than Matics whole season mistakes put together. If Matic was crucified for handful of mistakes (and non clear-cut) over a full season, just get ready to apply same to Bakayoko who makes clear cut mistakes almost every game.

Chelseafan1:
Never mind.

$499? .....worth it or waste not?

I don't know why our 'analysts' here are so against this Tiemoue Bakayoko signing. This is a guy that played a dominant role in a Monaco team that made semi finals in the just concluded UCL. He made the Team of The Year. And he is just 22!

Below is what the technical observers (who selects the TOTY) had to say about him...

Tiemoué Bakayoko (Monaco)
Technical Observers say: Important defensive midfield performances for an impressive Monaco team.

And who makes up this technical observers?

UEFA Technical Observers in Cardiff

Sir Alex Ferguson, [b]Ryan Giggs, Mircea Lucescu, Fabio Capello, Roy Hodgson, Peter Rudbæk, Mixu Paatelainen, Ginés Meléndez, Thomas Schaaf, Ioan Lupescu.[/b]

Bottom line: I'd rather put faith in what these individuals says than what Nairaland pundits think. Thank you.

Nihilist:
I can't trust Giggs opinion. All the footballers in UK now know that it's marital suicide to have Giggs in the same country with their babes and so they shield appropriately.

Giggs is having to find ways to lure foreign ballers to the country so that he can service their wives
