Why remove Cavani or Benzema and not Lukaku or Kane?

Remove whoever you want but Costa should be in that list.

raumdeuter:
How many CL knockout games have Kane and Lukaku played

Top 10 strikers.

Lewandoski, Aubameyang, Cavani, Higuain, Suarez, Benzema, Aguero Costa, Belotti, Lacazette

How many CL games have Belotti played?

dopeJemi:
griezmann is not a striker

suarez
lewandowski
aubameyang
aguero
kane
higuain
lukaku
ibrahimovic
cavani
maybe benzema

I would have added sanchez but he is not a top 9

you can see that 4 outta 10 are from the EPL, 2 from la liga, 2 from Germany, 1 from Italy, 1 from France

Remove Cavani or Benzema and put Costa.

There is no way you can list top 10 strikers CURRENTLY and Diego Costa is not in the list.

Griffon:
Meanwhile, seems like N'koudou's days at White Hart Lane are numbered. The reactions pouring in on twitter from Spuds' fans are just unbearable.

Just lastnight, one tweeted that Spurs' management should tear N'koudou's contract with the club for rocking a Chelsea jersey. Savage much?

On top everything, na Batshuayi cause these kasala.

lol...

But seriously the guy no do well. Some clubs will tear a players contract just because of that.

Wolfsburg fined Bendtner for 'disrespecting' their sponsor Volkswagen because he posed with a Mercedes car.

When he was in West Ham, Tevez was asked to wear a Brazil jersey in training for one week as punishment.

Wearing a rival's jersey is something fans (even players) take very seriously. It's like seeing a River Plate player donning a Boca Junior jersey....omo na murder the fans go murder that player o.

N'koudou no try at all. If Michy mistakenly wear Spurs kit, him own don finish.

mukina2 please can you do something to keep this thread sane? Thank you.

By the time we will play Liverpool in Stamford Bridge, we are CHAMPIONS.

Ibime:
Oboy na so 2015/16 start oh.

Lightning doesn't strike on a spot twice.

Mehn I love our fixtures next season!

Playing Spurs, Arsenal, Man City, Everton and Stoke by September.

By then teams never get their rhythm. If we can be top of the league by October, e go hard for others o.

Ibime you said something earlier, like 2 pages ago, that I completely agree with. You said 'in Conte I trust'.

If this 10 member technical observers agree that Bakayoko is better than all DMs in the whole 32 teams in UCL and worthy of being in the TOTY AND most importantly, Conte is ready to buy him, then he must be doing something good in the pitch.

And his age! At 22, it's more easier for Conte to mould him to a player he wants. I mean look at what Conte did to Moses, Alonso and Luiz.

Don't tell me Conte doesn't know about this his awful first touch and other 'technical deficiencies'. But he is still ready to sanction the deal. Could he (Conte) be seeing something we don't see? Possibly. Might he be planning to use him in another position? Only time will tell.

One thing is very obvious: Conte is a genius. In him, I trust.

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

Your last line got me lol...

What of the other names? SAF?

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, Ryan Giggs, Mircea Lucescu, Fabio Capello, Roy Hodgson, Peter Rudbæk, Mixu Paatelainen, Ginés Meléndez, Thomas Schaaf, Ioan Lupescu.

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

Willy Caballero, anyone?

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

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

Nihilist:
Bakayoko never play yet and una don dey cry. Na wa for una o.

I tire. I just tire.

Unlimited22:
This is serious oo. Wikipedia has even changed Bakayoko's current team to Chelsea with Jersey number 8.
Kai.
When we could have signed Corentin Tolisso for less.
Shoii!!!!

You mean this Wikipedia? Lol...

Ibime:
No wahala. In Conte I trust.

Same here bro.

Ibime:
FACT - Mario Pasalic glued Bakayoko to the bench at Monaco last season.

Yet we are potentially buying Bakayoko for £35m and selling Pasalic for £15m.

Sometimes our mumu no be here.

Pasalic then should have been the name on UEFA TOTY.

But we all know the name in that midfield.

A40:
He didn't just score but he disgraced them as well. This wasn't just a tap-in goal

Benteke might score more often but is he the better striker? Not even close.

Nobody is comparing who is the better striker between Lukaku and Benteke.

I made the Benteke reference because he is the better player to use that phrase 'even your defenders can testify' not Lukaku.

That he scored a fluke solo FA cup solo goal against a Chelsea team battling relegation doesn't mean he terrorise Chelsea defenders.

N.B: If terrorizing Chelsea defenders is the only perimeter to measure a striker's level, Benteke is far ahead of Lukaku.

A40:
Surely you don't expect Lukaku who plays for a relatively mid-table team like Everton to bang in goals vs Chelsea every match. Even players who play for bigger clubs don't do this

Then what do Chelsea defenders have to 'testify' about Lukaku? That he is a pain their backside?

N.B: Benteke plays for a more inferior team (right from his Aston Villa years) but he still manages to score again us regularly. So that your mid-table-team-like-Everton excuse is null and void.

lordfalcao:
lukaku wey go play 10 games against us yet his goals no go reach 3

Strikers like Benteke and Alli are the players that punish us season after season.

Diego Costa is strongly linked to AC Milan...

Remember a Chinese consurtium took over Milan back in April so cash dey to splash.

http://metro.co.uk/2017/06/07/diego-costas-agent-jorge-mendes-meeting-with-ac-milan-today-as-striker-nears-chelsea-exit-6693348/

Mehn the kind formation and line ups wey I dey see for the last couple of pages just tire me...

The kind analysts wey we get here sef

A40:
Don't let me fetch that video of last year's FA cup where Lukaku sold your defenders to slavery

FA cup? Last season that the whole of Chelsea squad (not just the defenders) are woeful? Is it by last season FA cup that Chelsea defenders will 'testify?

How many matches have Lukaku played against Chelsea that, after just one FA cup goal, our defenders go testify?

A40:
Apart from the prohibitive fee which must be even more annoying considering he used to be your player I don't really get what Costa does better than Lukaku. While Europe might not be a given he would certainly sodomize defences in the league. That one na sure banker. Even your defenders can testify

Testify what?

Meanwhile AC Milan have confirmed the signing of Ricardo Rodriguez from Wolfsburg....

That guy could have been a terrific backup for Alonso in that LWB position.

Lukaku for 80 million? Na wao.....

Dude 'followed' Lewis Baker, Gary Cahill and N'golo Kante in Twitter today. Seems a deal is imminent.

Make I siddon dey look.

Nihilist:
Bruh I was at ground zero. Literally.

Thank God for your life bro.

Champions of England!

First team? check.
U18? check.
Ladies? check.

The jinx is finally broken.

A team successfully defends the UCL title.
