Unless we effect an exchange with a top club and possibly add money, we aren't buying a keeper. Make una forget that one.

I don't like it myself but there we are.

very sure we are not getting a keeper

hensben:
He is technically and tactically average, we need an upgrade in Koulibaly.

you keep shouting kolibaly, some one that will be going to 30years if not 30 sef and African. Defenders should be a long term fix. Koulibaly no follow

His experience is what we need in that Defense. He is 28 and still got 4 strong years to play top flight football, he was given birth to in France.

Marimari the super woman

Griffon:


It seems my boy is doing great. I haven't heard or read anything about him in a while.

He's doing great in Serie A. He's their shakushaku King over there.

lordfalcao:

You are right and wrong at the same time.

The price quoted is too much for his age.

But he is not African age though as he was born and bred in France.

Ibime:
We don't need Sancho

Just buy back Jeremie Boga for £13m and let him, Pulisic, CHO and Ziyech slug it out

You done like shaku shaku things? Few games I've seen that boy play na so so dribble o! Though I'll take him ahead of CHO and pedro atm.

End of the day, I don't want character like Sancho even though he's good on the field.

For someone to be 19 and already played for Watford, City and Dortmund and already misbehaving at Dortmund, on the verge of his 4th club before the age of 20, you can't expect any kind of loyalty from such a player. Within 2 years he will be holding you for ransom to pay him £500k per week or sell him.

We have already invested a lot in Pulisic and CHO. Ziyech is a sure starter. £13m player like Boga is what you need to compete with Pulisic and CHO, not someone that will relegate them to bench and drive their value down.

It's like you read the same guardian article as I did this morning

Though I don't want that boga anywhere near my club

I need a left back, and a CB now.

A good striker too if we can get one - I want Werner, and he can play on the wings too

We should forget about Sancho then. Go for Dembele or Warner instead, I’ll prefer Dembele due to his strength and grit, it suit epl and will benefit from Zyech’s deadly crosses .

No I don't read Guardian. You just know certain players that jump around a lot and have no patience are poisonous to team cohesion. Such players feel clubs are just to be used and can be changed like diapers and that disrespect spreads throughout the club. CHO might be one of those.

Take Pogba who dumped Le Havre at 15, then dumped United and 19, came back and now taking the pïss and behaving anyhow. Look at the spirit in Manure camp now.

This is why I like players like Azpilicueta. You need many Azpis in your squad to keep the team moving in same direction.

Make plenty sense.

So these Shekpites got Ziyech? I'm in severe pains

I will actually like us to buy someone like Jimenez.. 35-45 can get him. A good cb and lb is top pest priority, mildfield is okay

Ziyech is good at taking corners and freekicks, hopefully we can cover that aspect of the game. At least we have good nodders

Fact!!

And Valencia of ManU too.

One of the reason I like Willian and don’t want him to be sold. Don’t just want Instagram boys around CFC, the reason I’m skeptical about Sancho and he is English too.

Pogba is one of Man U problem. They need committed players, even if the said players are not world class but good at least.

Willian is OK but age is against him.

Those Brazilian pastors like Willian, Luiz, Allison, Firminho etc who you often see conducting baptism are always good for the dressing room. They are the SkimpleD of the dressing room.

Unlimited22:

There's no way we won't get a left back. Unless Lampard wan chop sack. I don't have to tell you that RLC starts ahead of Mount. And we are probably getting Jeremie Boga back.

I did put RLC there but we haven't seen him play for Lampard yet and I agree that Mount may even start playing more on the wings next season

hensben:

29years, 4more strong years and you know this how. Even if he is bought for 60m that would be 15m per year

Even Kepa that signed 7years with us, was at 10m per year and even at that we can still sell.

That is why Sancho is rumored to be heading to united. For at least 200k per week

He would be a good influence on Mason

Why didn't Chelsea consider Bogs even Liverpool bought some cheap winger too

But despite Boga excelling in Serie A in some of the exact attributes Chelsea need, his reputation from his time at Cobham and his £13 million buyback clause, his name never popped up.
Boga leads Serie A with 93 successful dribbles. No other player in the league has even attempted that many. Only two Premier League players have attempted or completed as many as Boga: Adama Traore and Wilfried Zaha. Boga’s dribble-to-dispossession ratio of 2.9 would have him behind only Traore; and only Mateo Kovacic, Traore and Emiliano Buendia have a success rate better than Boga’s 64%.
Given how well his raw numbers stack up to the Premier League’s best dribblers, it’s no surprise SmarterScout models him in the
99th percentile of dribblers and 86th percentile for ball retention in the league. That is the same ball retention rating as once and future rumour bait Jadon Sancho, and well above Sancho’s 70-80th percentile placement for dribbling.
As we wrote about a few weeks ago, Mateo Kovacic is Chelsea’s best dribbler . But since he is a midfielder, most of his dribbles are in the middle third – they help Chelsea transition to offence but seldom do they directly lead to scoring chances.
Using the same back-of-the-napkin analysis we did for Kovacic, Boga completed 34 dribbles in the four games in which he had the most. Sassuolo won one of those matches, drew two and lost one.
In a scoreless draw against AC Milan, Sassuolo had 50% possession and Boga completed 11 dribbles , with five in the final third. Sassuolo has 62-63% in the other three games. Drawing 2-2 to Lecce, Boga had 10 dribbles – nine in the final third; two of seven dribbles in the final third while defeating SPAL; and three of six in a defeat to Udinese. Even against better teams like Inter Milan, Juventus and Atalanta he had three or more dribbles per game.
Serie A traditionally has the tightest defences of the top five leagues in Europe, so much so that Cristiano Ronaldo told Romelu Lukaku that it is the hardest league to score.

This last part eh

Boga , I wonder how long that release clause if for. Maybe one more season then we go for him

Right now Willian, Hakim, Pulisic, Odio or Mount, even Barley self play wing sha

Ziyech, good one there.

airmark:
Ziyech, good one there.

Mari Mari shock me die bro

Hakim Ziyech

una rogue coach Sarri is destroying Juventus
Ororo

The problem lies way beyond Sarri even though he's a great contributor himself.
This Juventus team peaked in 2017 when they got to the UCL final, and if it hadn't been for Ronaldo and Dybala, this would've been much more obvious. They have been in decline for three years or so now. And their top decision makers and transfer policy admins aren't helping matters. Plugging gaping holes with players on free transfers with fat paychecks and bloated egos will only go so far.

I just watched Hakim highlights and something stuck out.

He is the player chukwueze can become.

They have the same exact talent but at different development stage.

First 30 minutes against Milan, no shot on goal. Similar to what we saw when teams found him out last season.

Sarri will be chased away if he continues to wobble and fumble and fails to win Serie A and Ucl.
