Ibime:


I like Rudiger signing. He is strong, fast, good positionally and can play a long pass to the striker well.

and now we are strikerless no signing yet

bigkesh:

Yh....He was very good before his injury,I am not sure he is the same guy

The few games I watched last season,he wasn't impressive at all

Speaking of touch, we shoulda been checking who will pay us £20m for Zouma. That guy should forget playing in a back 3.

airmark:


a40 is a bit smarter these days. At least he strongly believes pep is a fraud, while apari believes he is a god.

The truth can't be hidden for long, egbon just dey do strong head

bigkesh:


Germany beat Spain??

When most of their U-21 boys are here in Confederation cup trashing senior boys,they still have enough to trash Spain


That's serious

That is really scary. When Chile's vastly experienced team can't beat Germany's B (or combo of B and C) team, just know that the rest of the world has no hope next summer.
However, the one flaw that Germany's B team has is Draxler's selfish play. There are countless times when he preferred to dribble 4 opposition players instead of laying a pass to a well-positioned teammate. Joachim Low would have to work on that aspect of Draxler's game before the World Cup

Griffon:
Why all the fuss over Ake?

In my 13 good years as a fan of this club, I have seen way crazier decisions get taken. When we were comfortable with having average bomboclats like Boulahrouz, Ben Haim, Pizzaro, Wright-Philips, Sidwell, Sinclair, Ramires etc on our payroll, na who die?

Na who die when we were forced to part ways with prospects like Sturridge, Lukaku, Hutchinson, KDB etc?

Ake's deal has even got an icing on it, we have a buy-back option, so what's the fuss all about?

This is Chelsea, we are no strangers to any fvcking thing. I am only concerned about the signings now nothing more. Even if we lose Hazard today, that same silly board would find a way to soothe us with Sanchez or Neymar. We are Chelsea, we are like that.

yes

Sell tested hazard for 100million and buy untested neymar for 140million

Sell ake 20million, bid for rudiger 30million.

Typical chelsea board.

The guy has the wrong quality i don't like in wingers. Too much dagbose when you can release the ball to a well positioned team mate. Benardo silva is another guy I am not feeling yet but I can't say much because I have only watched one game.

EvilMetahuman:

Do you also believe buying Rudiger is a mistake??

He is a player that has both champions league and Europa league experience. He has more exposure than ake and in this transfer window that is hyper-inflated, where an 18 year old goalkeeper is sold for 30m, don't you think that 33m for him is a mighty steal?

If this deal is true and indeed happening, abeg make I comot pant faint here.

Ibime:


Nah, I only caught the last 10 minutes.

If Saul, Asensio, Williams, Bellerin etc can't topple these guys, Germany youth system must be doing something right.

Spain were dominated from wire to wire. The scoreline flattered them

I am quite impressed with the Germans. They always have well-trained talents which is why they are one of the best National team in the last 20 years. Germany=England + Good Training.

Rüdiger, Bakayoko, Sandro, Lukaku

Calabar l'onishan FC. Ishan lo pa Bruce Lee FC

This is the type of team Elampawa will like to support

Alex sandro about to sign new £98,000 a week deal... How true is this??

Griffon:
According to our chief scout, Roman will be backing Conte with unlimited transfer funds. That's in other words, an open cheque.

If that inference is anything to go by, then I say go re-sign Rudiger from Roma. If it would be difficult to actualize, then I say bring on Bonucci. Make the acquisition of two CMs a priority - a promising one that would serve a need in the future - Ajax's Bazoer or Anderlecht's Tielemann, then an established one that would help save us now - Roma's Naingollan or Leicester's N'kante. Then we'd also need a forward who knows where the goals are - Griezmann or Lukaku. Gentlemen can we swap Rahman for home-grown Cresswell? I wouldn't mind having that transfer.

Transfer In: Rudiger/Bonucci, Naingollan/Kante, Bazoer/Tielemann, Griezmann/Lukaku, Cresswell.

Transfer Out: Cahill, Rahman, Mikel, Oscar, Remy, Pato.

First XI:

Courtois

Azpilicueta Zouma Rudiger/Bonucci Cresswell

Fabregas(c) Naingollan/Kante Matic

Willian Costa/Griezmann/Lukaku Hazard

Second XI:

Begovic

Ivanovic Cristensen JT(c) Ake

Loftus-Cheek Bazoer/Tielemann Baker

Pedro Traore Kennedy

Alternate Formation: 4-2-2-2

Courtois

Ivanovic Zouma Rudiger/Bonucci Azpilicueta

Naingollan/Kante Matic

Willian Hazard

Griezmann/Lukaku Costa

The mentality of our current squad is weak, and can't stay mentally alert for a consistent level. Competition is needed to bring out that drive n' keep them fighting to prove a point every game. That's the only way we can challenge next term.

We wouldn't have any European game to honor, so fixture congestion isn't going to be a worry. A 25-man squad that's well managed can win us the league and the FA Cup.

I'd love to read your views too.

Rüdiger, Bakayoko, Sandro, Lukaku

Back with the blacks.

Remember Chelsea of yore?

Babayaro - Sandro
Essien - Bakayoko
Gallas - Rudiger
Makelele - Kante
Drogba - Lukaku

That's how we roll.

Well, I used to scout talented chaps for Urawa Red Diamonds in Japan until I got relieved of my job in 2009.

I made a big mistake. I recommended a certain Airmark to the club, and the rest was history.

Ibime:

Speak no more sire, this is just the major reason.

With Bakayoko joining, I honestly would expect our team technique to go weak in sustaining possession passing. So the idea would be to stay compact, get to soak the pressure, find the attackers with the long ball and let them smash the damn net!

We are building a team that's going to be difficult to beat both in England and Europe.

Sorry for disagreeing with the match fixing arrangement as sanctioned by the club chairman. Instructing me to collect red card in the 15th minute, when i was one goal away from becoming the highest goal scorer in the league. Next time dont take me to a club set up for match fixing. I am ready to replace ahmed musa at leicester. I can still do 90 in a 65, sorry 100m in 6.5s.

But doesn't this contradict Roman's vision for the club which is for us to play good attacking football?

Yeah Griffon used to go on about Rudiger that gear.

30m for a tested Germany international not a bad deal at all.

I'm just waiting for Lukaku to sign so I can buy his jersey.

Kante, Sandro, Lukaku, Kante, Zouma, Moses, Bakayoko, Rudiger.

Just call us the All-Blacks like we play for New Zealand.

Cheers to Ishon FC.

Good attacking football is not always synonymous with tiki-taka.

Liverpool play a rushing jambody style too. Direct and very fast. That's why they were especially good against big teams last season.

The only thing that I need now from this team is someone who can Nasa better long shot from midfield.

Cross and nod footie toh bad, and banging in screamers from rebounds. Lets bring sexy back like avirex jackets.

Godstraight:
kante

I hope we have not settled for our own version of man utd's bailey. Someone who visits hospital more than a pregnant woman on prenatal care. Black power.

We can only cross our fingers and see what the Don has in store for us.

So right now it's looking like:

1 Morata to Money united

2 Lukmanku to chavski

3 Lacassette to gayners

4 Sanchez to citeh


Where does that leave aubameyang, belotti and Mbappe?

You are very right about Draxler, he too dey do overskill, trying to dribble too much

I expect him to be benched by Reus anyway

Happy new month guys.
Inmyopeenion, we need 4 new signings announced today or there will be a meltdown on Twitter.

Well, you know the rest

You know ball. But my worry is English ref, their decision making will so much go against us next season due to so many black players in our team.

Sell tested hazard for 100million and buy untested neymar for 140million

Sell ake 20million, bid for rudiger 30million.

Rudiger is better than ake bro plus he has height.

Invariably when city had mangala, kompany ,sagna, clichy,fernando, fernandinho, sterling,yaya and kelechi all the decisions were going against them or now that they still have Yaya fernando,fernandinho,sterling,sane,jesus and maybe Clichy all the decisions will still go against dem.

Please don't scatter my morning with this colour talk biko...

Eden Hazard, Demba Ba part of new San Diego NASL club's ownership



A San Diego-area expansion team will start play in the North American Soccer League next year, with Eden Hazard, Demba Ba, Yohan Cabaye, and Moussa Sow all part of the ownership group.

The Southern California city is currently without a professional soccer team, though a separate ownership group, which includes former U.S. star Landon Donovan, is also trying to win a bid for a Major League Soccer expansion team.

The MLS bid has the support of the mayor but has been met with controversy, with opponents saying FS Investors are primarily concerned with its massive SoccerCity development project, which will include hotel and retail space on the site of Qualcomm Stadium, the former home of the NFL's Chargers.

Bob Watkins, the NASL team's president, told the San Diego Union-Tribune that his group was "soccer specific" in contrast, and is purposely avoiding a downtown venue in favor of a 10,000-seat stadium that could open as early as next August.

The NASL faced financial difficulty last year, but expanded to California with the San Francisco Deltas beginning play this season, while a new Orange County team will also start in 2018, about 100 miles north of the San Diego club.
