Griffon:


You have a peripatetic brain airmak but it's a good thing bud. Not everyone is gifted with wandering thoughts

The emboldened is you struggling to understand why you don't need Rudiger at Chelsea. You are torn between understanding why we paid 34mil for the nigga and how the useless nigga is NOT going to strengthen our backline.

Can we break it down?

1. The Price Isn't Right: According to you, paying 34m for Rudiger is us getting magad. Now I am asking you, do you have an estimation which takes into account the inflationist trend of transfer fees?

Do you have an explanation to why Southampton are holding out 60million for Van Virgil Dijk, Napoli holding out 60million for Koulibaly, Swansea holding out 50million for Sigurdsson, Belotti valued at 88million, Morata valued at 75million, Mbappe valued at 100million, Lemar valued at 60million? What are your explanations to why these average players have got high price tag dangling on their necks?

Conversely, don't you think getting an equally average player like Rudiger at 34m is shrewd business?

2. Rudiger Isn't Going To Strengthen Us: You know this how?

Whoscored.com highlightes "Committing too many fouls and delivering poor crossing" as Rudiger major weaknesses, now tell me, how bad is that? We are not playing a high-line and Rudy isn't going down the flanks, meaning his two major flaws are most likely to be mitigated at Chelsea.

I have been following this guy a long time to know that the only blot on his copybook is rash defending. He is dominant in the air, excellent on the ball, solid, composed in every sense, wins back possession and recycles it. But NO, he is no better than Gary Cahill.

So what are your assessment about his qualities and what makes him a very stupid defender as you put it?

Answers on a postcard please.

bigkesh:

Correct me if i am wrong but i think Auba will turn 29 in few weeks..

His game outside the box isn't the best,he is a good poacher who relies on speed........ He is 29 which means his speed will reduce with time
To add, he is scores one out of every 4 good chances

PietroRico:
he is not good enough to shine Lukaku's boots [Nihilist:2017]

He knows absolutely nothing....You wasted your time and effort

lordfalcao:
said the dude who told us victor moses is a better winger than Pedro and William combined.

I see you are ashamed of yourself and your hope is throwback.

Abumeyang scored over 40 goals last season. That defies any theory or logic that says he's wasteful.

Anyways I agree with you on the very valid points you raised about his eventual diminishing speed which is one of his primary skill and talent but I believe he can give us 4 solid years by which time hopefully Tammy Abraham would have come of age to lead the line. That's an added advantage.

We would have a top striker who would give us a solid few years and Tammys prospect of a first team shirt in a few years would be feasible.

Secondly, of all available options, abumeyang tops them all. He is an ESTABLISHED regular at a top European team with a vast array of experience and he comes much cheaper than the others we're being linked with.

We don't have too many options. It's only logical we go for him.

The simple answer to all these questions is Rudiger is German and his role model is Boateng. That is like a red rag to a bull. Airmark being the bull.

We will not take it!

Even as someone that loves it when Chelshit loses, I wouldn't wish Danilo on my rival club. It seems to me that you don't watch Madrid matches or you don know jot about this monumental Brazilian flop called Danilo. Even at that, don't you read news? Decent price? Madrid bought the flop at €31.7m and now are reportedly selling to Chelshit at £27m. Compare to the current transfer market Madrid are recouping all their waste on that flop instead of losing money on a flop. And you feel it's decent? LOL. The only way Danilo will excel at Chelshit is if Conte weaves his legendary magic on him, if not he'll be a colossal waste. Just read these links below and if they don't convince you about Danilo then nothing will.

I never knew boathand was his role model when i made my view known. Hummels is also a german and i rate him above almost all defenders in epl. We will be here to blame emenalo for signing mechanics without tools for us to make our engine function. Anyone claiming danilo is decent for us at 31m, needs not to call himself a chelsea fan and his opinion on players should not be entertained.

Loogan:
I guess the formation conte would be planning for this season would be a 3-5-2, considering how excellent fabregas was when he used the formation last season, all season long we complained about lack of creativity from the center midfield, playing fab with two other energetic midfield destroyer like baka no kante while it would open space for fabs creativity. Though if the formation would work we need an upgrade on matic. Morata/auba/batshuayi--hazard/willian/pedro would be a excellent 2forward pivot.

lordfalcao:
leave this thing. Danilo made two mistakes. Madrid fans already started calling for his head. In this transfer market 27 million for him is a normal price range, you don't expect Madrid to sell danilo for 15 million.

Moses was converted to a wb and he did well. much more will be achieved on danilo who is already a natural full back when he is given the necessary training. The few chances danilo got last season did he perform terribly? No.

sinizia:


Danilo started and played EVERY SINGLE DEFEAT of Madrid in 2015-2016 season. last season he was marginally better but woeful nonetheless. Well, may Chelshit buy am, maybe Conte go transform to a top defender.

Ignore him, he only knows about lacazette.

lordfalcao:
if we play this formation it will be cut down the speed of our electric forward .. In this formation we need a speedy no 9 to play with hazard upfront..

bigkesh:
Considering the way Conte wants out front 3 to play,I think Morata fits us best.....He is fluid and he has the finesse,but he doesn't guarantee goals,at least not yet

If we get him we should play him as a SS or play a SS alongside him,it is obvious he can't lead as a lone striker

We don't have a solid CF that he can support or a player that can support him ........Even if we do unless we are playing 4-2-4 with him then that means Hazard,Pedro and William are out of the XI
And if we are playing 4-2-4,we don't have the CBs and LB to succeed with that set up...


Morata is a no go abeg,we don't have what it takes to accommodate him....His signing will mean more singings, whether another CF or another LB and RB......I think this is what Conte has in mind,that why we have been linked with guys like Sandro(a proper LB) and Llorente(someone Morata can support) and a solid CB


4-2-4 seems to be Conte's vision

FPL is back

lordfalcao:
during his first season you're talking about while admitting he was marginally better last season.. I still maintain the price quoted is a fair price that is what am talking about..

What should be investigating is why he was marginally better last season.

In his first season, he's still fresh off his Brazilian hype and therefore played more. He's given more chance as a new recruit. Last season he started less match and even has injuries to Carvajal to thank for starting matches

Why I dey even bother sef. Make Chelsea buy am, win-win situation for me especially if he plays when una meet us. Maybe on that day Moses and Azubike will both injured allowing us to destroy Danilo.


I don free am coz I'm sure he doesn't know Danilo.

lordfalcao:
which wingers Una dy parade wey go destroy danilo sef, lingard rashford mkhitaryan .. If man u sign danilo now we will see some of you guys switchingd sides faster than lia Mohammed, just like you did in lukaku's case.

chidexxy007:

First: it can't happen cos he's nt an upgrade to wat we already have
Danilo's case has been discussed nd dismissed nd never to resurrect since TW of last season..
That guy is just a Brazilian Valencia
