For the first time I agree with you.

E pain me die, especially that Lukaku one.

I remember when you wanted the club to sign lukaku instead of morata.

I don’t know why Austria’s coach decided to play Alaba centrally. He was really dangerous coming from left back with his brilliant crosses.

They are out SMh

If Dumfries doesn't leave psv after this euros then he has himself to blame

BlueAngel444:
did you read the previous posts or is this your pathetic attempt to look cool with something funny.


cause I am sure that picture is your stupid look when you don't understand something

You're wearing it like a Badge these days. Your dumbnéss is unlimited. Joe Hart is also world class...... LMFAO!

You too Mumu....... abegi make gods of Atem dash you sense. If na shikini e no mata, at all at all na im bad.

Havertz10:
not good enough to be a starter at Chelsea, good sub, he needs space to operate and English teams don't play with high line

I watched most of his goals in Bundesliga, they were goals were he had plenty time on the ball, he needs the ball on his feet longer than most strikers to finish his chances, one time shot is not his speciality, we will use him against teams that play with highline or as substitute, convincing him to accept that role go hard but na my mind on timo werner be that

Fair enough, nice analysis

Chilled bottle of Kunu and Nunu don reach you?!

Patson Daka is set to join Leicester, done deal. The official proposal has been accepted by RB Salzburg board today and #LCFC are planning to announce the new signing next week. Here we go soon! �� #Daka No Liverpool, Chelsea, Leipzig for Daka. Advanced today by @mcgrathmike.

there is a difference between "is" and "was" even if they dropped you on the head as a baby the defect shouldn't be that bad that you can't differentiate simple explanations

Joe Hart was what he was, if you don't like it go and drown in the oases of your urine

Lol Gattuso could be coming to EPL

You too mumu o. Has he retired? Guess Joe has stopped playing? Pack off mumu. How on Earth Joe is/was a world class, also how on earth Timo of all Players is a world class.

Retarted Angel 419.

BlueAngel444:
I know forlan played for ATM, I also remember he was in Inter when Mou won UCL

I also recall Forlan in world cup for Uruguay, so how exactly did you come up with your Forlan is not world class for you

Because I know the real world where Forlan lives in he was a world class player at several points in his career.

He didn't win UCL with inter in 2010 if I remember correctly.
Maybe you're mistaken him with sneijder.

Trevor012:

What fact? Baba there is no universal definition of world class so whatever you are bringing is still your own opinion.

Ok

popizaino:



Nice you concluded with the bolded.

Lol... Well you asked for my opinion na

Don't mind Bobrisky.

Debroslink:


When you win Europe's Golden Boot TWICE while playing for 2nd tier clubs.

When you are the MVP of the World Cup,

When you drag Atletico from being a mid-table club to a top 3 club long before Simeone became the coach

When you captain your country to win Copa America despite the presence of Brazil and Argentina.

That's a World Class player

Lol...Great!
Valid points

Kunu? We don upgrade

Only if virgil was fit, Netherlands back 3 would have been De Vrij, Van Dijk, De ligt. Crazy

Kilishihunter:

Kunu go well with Kilishi nau.

Kilishihunter:

You've given badass takes today bro but if indeed anyone is to be rated higher especially when playing for lower teams between both of them it's definitely Diego Forlan

I think falcao edges forlan due to the trophies won as he(falcao) was a key factor in it. Also falcao was a badass goalscorer during his prime just below messi and Ronaldo

Oasis007:





Don't mind Bobrisky.

You are ignoring the part where he said Chelsea is one of the few big teams.

DISCLAIMER - This might be a lengthy read. Every view expressed here is strictly my opinion and is subject to fair and objective criticism.


Quite apart from the fact that this current team seem to lack the mental fortitude that characterised their mid to late 2000s forbears (a problem that I hope winning club football's biggest prize will help mitigate), there are a few glaring on-field issues still plaguing the team, problems that I thought about for a bit and decided to postulate possible solutions to.


1. The lack of a true goalscorer.

While Kai Havertz, Timo Werner, Tammy Abraham and Olivier Giroud have their uses, they all have what seems to be the same glaring weakness. They just, at least at the moment, cannot be relied upon to bang in the goals regularly over the course of a season, something we have sorely missed since the heyday of one Diego Costa. And it is worthwhile to state that all the league titles we've won have had at least one player hitting 10 goals. Our highest goalscorer last season was Jorginho. And even though we've spent a lot on attacking talent lately, this is the issue with the most straightforward solution.
Just buy one of Harry Kane or Working Haaland or Romelu Lukaku. Whatever it takes. Whatever tactics and tweaks it will take. The aforementioned guarantee goals. We lack goals. Goals win games. Winning games translates to winning league titles. Simple.

2. The lack of a true DM

One area where Chelsea have a glut of talent is in the centre of the park, but one type of midfielder is conspicuous by their absence from the ranks - a true destroyer.
Jorginho, Mateo Kovacic and Billy Gilmour are all far more comfortable with the ball than without it, Ethan Ampadu has little experience in that role and seems more comfortable in defence despite his height and his quality in positioning, passing and tackling, Conor Gallagher is better served facing the opposition goal, while N'golo Kante will just not stick to one position as it quite limits his considerable capabilities. Other midfield players are more attacking minded than these 5 and any attempt to play them more defensively will be doubly damaging to the team in terms of limiting their talents going forward and exposing the defense. West Ham United are playing hardball over Declan Rice.

I have a twofold solution in mind.
One, simply buy a cheaper DM from Ligue 1. Aurelien Tchouameni and Boubacar Kamara both come to mind, but while supremely talented, both are still relatively inexperienced and might take some time getting to grips with the English game. Plus, the rather painful memories of Tiemoue Bakayoko are still fresh.

The other option is a bit unorthodox but far cheaper, especially considering the money involved in signing a new CF. And that is to convert one of Andreas Christensen or Reece James to a DM, the way PSG did with Marquinhos. I personally favour James, seeing as in his final loan season at Wigan he played quite a few games there, and he is stronger and quicker and more robust in the tackle than the Dane. His passing range is also good, his positioning has improved drastically, and he won't have to be making recovery runs, which is the one aspect of his game that still needs serious polish. With the impending signing of Achraf Hakimi and the emergence of Valentino Livramento, I would say we are covered on the right side of defence for the foreseeable. Worth trying IMO.

3. We might soon have a CB problem on our hands.

Thiago Silva is 36, a geriatric in professional football terms. Cesar Azpilicueta is a fantastic defender but will struggle with the aerial aspects of playing CB in a 4 man backline. Reports have emerged that Antonio Rudiger is refusing to even discuss a contract renewal. Fikayo Tomori is now an AC Milan player. Marc Guehi, Malang Sarr and Xavier Mbuyamba are still relatively untested at the highest level of English football. That leaves just Christensen, who I'm advocating for playing further forward, and Kurt Zouma. Capable hands, yes. Not good enough. And no, Sergio Ramos is not the answer either.

The solution? Two very capable young defenders, one of whom is starting for club (Dynamo Kiev) and country (Ukraine, at this Euros) at the age of just 18. Ilya Zabarnyi is very young but has shown signs of being a very good CB in a time where there's a lack of top class defenders, and will be available for less than 20m Euros. Which means even if the experiment doesn't work out we can always recoup money from loan fees and maybe a permanent deal later on, but I'm positive he's the real deal.
The other is already a league champion with Lille at just 21, a left footed beast who's quick, good at positioning, reading the game and tackling, and is very comfortable with the ball. Because he isn't at the Euros he'll be relatively unnoticed and we won't have to pay a premium to get him if we act fast. Sven Botman is a brilliant CB, and Virgil van Dijk and Mathijs De Ligt Better watch their backs In the Dutch setup.

NB - There are rumours that Aymeric Laporte wants to leave City, but I don't think they have any substance and he might be out of our reach anyway.

PS - Don't forget all views are mine and can be objectively examined and critiqued. Please kindly ignore all typos and grammatical errors.

My opinion doesn't matter,what matter is that I would have backed it up with fact.

Diego forlan was a world class striker. Ce fini

bring up your facts.
I also brought up mine when answering you na while concluding it with opinion

Jodera:

ya Forlan joined Inter after, just checked

A..irmark would've been world class if not for injuries, Raumdeuter is world class in amalanomics, Ibime was world class in dept. football, Havertz10 is world class in hating on Mount, Donstan is world class in hating on Havertz

I don't know why Chelsea are not checking this guy out. 2seasons from now, this guy would be worth 100milli.

but the guy has mind to choose EPL and Leicester city over the easier Dortmund and Bundesliga. He may come good as Mane did.

Forlan was a badass scorer like falcao too na, , 2 European golden shoes But why I would rank Forlan ahead of him is for what he did with Uruguay on the international scene both in the world cup and in their Copa America win and his 2 European golden shoe wins

BlueAngel444:
ya Forlan joined Inter after, just checked

No problem boss.
No one dey above mistake

BlueAngel444:
Lol, if only he can carry his miracle to his scoring form.

A player like Pedri is already becoming world class, at 18, even as a Madrid fan that doesn't like him, that's the truth. There are many players 20 above that want to be in Pedri's position but he has the performance and recognition to support the international hype he has gotten.
