Daily mail is carrying a story that pep is interested particularly in London. I will strongly advice Chelsea against going for him because they are a big MISMATCH. This Chelsea side as u can see from my analysis above is a side whose mentality has been groomed defensively. The flair isn't there anymore. It would take pep at least 2 or 3 seasons to begin to fully ingrain his philosophy.

PietroRico:
I've been reading emenalo's yarns for a while now, and it has always been about transfer mishaps
I want to get something straight.. Is he buying players without jose's consent?
Is that even possible, given the kind of person Jose is and also the fact that something like this was part of what led to the end of the 1st romance.. Shevchenko comes to mind

TheGoodJoe:



As much as I hope Guardiola chooses City instead of the Blues, he would not have any problem coming in because he will go on a rebuilding process. Something Emenalo wanted to do with Benitez but the Chelsea fans kicked against Benitez and Abramovic made it worse by bringing Mourinho to ruin the whole work.

If Guardiola comes in, Emenalo will go on a buying spree of creative players like when Chelsea had Marin, De Bruyne, Sturridge, Mata, Oscar, Hazard, Mikel, David Luiz, Torres etc.

This was a ball playing team from the defence to the attack. It will be a case of Guardiola changing the philosophy and orientation of Chelsea.

No more Mechanics but Artists.

But, I believe Man City is Guardiola's destination because of his former colleagues at City.

TheGoodJoe:



But, Emenalo's eye for players is flawless. His signing of the likes of Mata, Hazard, Oscar, De Bruyne, Willian, David Luiz, Lukaku were brilliant and at good prices. His eyes for players is flawless. Just like the present young ones like Traore and Kennedy.

I understand all those rules bro ...
but some punters would rather accumulate 2-3 games in order to increase their winnings .
While the likes of kolade would rather stake #100 on all the games on a match day and end up using his ticket as toilet paper...

The same 'artists' that got Chelsea knocked out of UCL Group stage for the first time in the club's history.

A team that habitually struggle to finish in the top 4.

If you think football is PlayStation where you sign hundred wingers and no 'midfield mechanics', then you are as incompetent as Emenalo.

Goodjoe, that eediot has caused me years of frustration as a Chelsea fan. His name alone raises my HBP. Dont just start. . .if not I will not be held responsible for control over my tongue with you.

There's nothing flawless about it. Don't get me started.

Name a central midfielder in your list!

Start from there. Emenalo just signs who dribbles the most and knows nothing about creating a team.

Firstly, he didn't sign Mata or Hazard. Mata was AVBs request and Hazard was Romans favourite.

Oscar is rubbish and he paid £25m for him.

He sold Matic to sign David Luiz. David Luiz is a calamity defender.

Kenedy is rubbish as is Cuadrado who he signed.

The only genuine talent he signed is De Bruyne. And he didn't even know how good De Bruyne was. The season he recalled De Bruyne from loan, he went to sign Willian and Schurrle for £30m and £18m.

De Bruyne was a small boy in his eyes and he flooded the team with Mata, Oscar, Hazard, Willian and Schurrle at the same time he recalled De Bruyne. Those of us who know football knew De Bruyne was the best of that bunch but he didn't stand a chance when the Technical Director floods the team with £30m signings, the £7m man won't get a chance to play.

Unfair competition chased De Bruyne away from Chelsea.

Emenalo has not signed a first central midfielder of his own accord in 4 years as technical director when every idiot knows central midfield is the weakest area in Chelsea's team. He should be castrated in public!

We have a Technical Director who is completely tactically inept and only signs dribblers. You even mentioned Marin, Torres and Mikel as good players that Emenalo favours!!!!

Please don't get me started Goodjoe. I no want curse pesin papa today.

TheGoodJoe:
He has not been the problem. Emenalo has not gotten the chance to show what he wants for Chelsea. Remember, Benitez won the Europa league with the artists. When a team goes from Mechanic to artist, it takes time for the team to blend but Abramovic pulled the plug and sacked Di Matteo who was actually a good choice from those players

Emenalo brought Benitez who was actually a good choice for the artists but the Chelsea fans pulled the plug.

When Ancelotti wrecked havoc in the EPL with his breath taking attacking football, Abramovic pulled the plug by sacking Ray Wilkins.

When Emenalo brought Villas Boas, who was a good choice to revolutionize Chelsea, the Chelsea senior boys pulled the plug.

Emenalo is a genius and I hope Abramovic sacks him soon because that guy is merciless in the transfer market and spots gems with ease.

His signing of Meireiles was super.

Ibime:


All this one wey you dey yarn na nonsense.

AVB signed Meireles. As soon as AVB wasn't around and Emenalo had full control, he sold Meireles.

Di Matteo and Benitez fought vociferously with Emenalo to try to get a central midfielder which Emenalo opposed vehemently. Consequently, every team just steamrollered through Chelseas midfield while Hazard and co were dribbling themselves on the wing.

Emenalo in full control of this team sees the team finishing 3rd and 4th every season, worrying about qualifying for UCL till April CLEARLY!

It took for Jose to come and draft Matic for Chelsea to challenge for the title in his 1st season and win the title the next year.

It is a great struggle to get any central midfielders into Chelsea team because of Emenalos incompetent interference.

Anyone who thinks Emenalo knows anything about creating a winning team is as big an eediot as he is. A technic al Director who has signed 100 wingers for the first team and not one central midfielder in 4 years.

Only 4 year olds and people who started watching football recently think the wingers are the best players and wingers alone create a winning team. Football is not PlayStation!

TheGoodJoe:
Guardiola's midfield trident of Busquets, Xavi and Iniesta did not have a mechanic. I guess you will call Guardiola incompetent.

We are talking of a scenario if Guardiola comes to Chelsea. Do you think Guardiola will go looking for mechanics. Why do you think he converted Lahm to a midfielder.

Who is Busquets and Xavi in Chelsea team?

Fool Emenalo was on Chelsea training ground in 2012 summer when Chelsea didn't have a manager telling journalists he is building the team around 3 dribblers behind Torres with Mikel and Ramires as his midfield pivot. 3 months later Chelsea was knocked out of UCL group stage, the way Shakhtar and Juve raped Mikel and Ramires!

Someone has Xavi and Busquets.

Another eediot is planning a world class team around Mikel and Ramires!

Mikel and Ramires, 2 central midfielders so poor that Benitez and Mourinho consecutively had to bench them and beg David Luiz and Zouma to play midfield.

GoodJoe, this is your final warning. My next response to you will not be kind.

Please show me one link of Di Matteo and Benitez fighting Emenalo for a central midfielder because no one would drop Lampard.

TheGoodJoe:



Statement like these sounds as if Chelsea did not win two European trophies in one year before Mourinho took over.

My best players in recent years are Xavi, Pirlo and Paul Scholes. I guess I am a 4 years old boy who thinks wingers are the best players.

Ibime:


I don't have time to search for links for you. I have posted them on this thread severally.

Di Matteo said the midfield is light and he asked for Wanyama. He was dismissed by Emenalo and told that Mikel, Ramires and 34-year old Lampard is sufficient to challenge for Europe and EPL.

Benitez asked for central midfielder and was shouted down in the boardroom by Emenalo.

JM immediately he joined Chelsea went for meeting with Emenalo and came out to say that David Luiz should not be playing midfield (after Emenalo had briefed him). 2 months later, Jose was begging David luiz to play midfield.

There is a clear pattern of an eediot technical Director who has signed dozens of wingers/Attacking midfielders and has never wilfully signed a central midfielder for the first team in 4 years as a TD.

TheGoodJoe:




What position does Van Ginkel Play?

TheGoodJoe:
[b]
If you are talking about the weight of Chelsea midfielders is a different thing. However, what sparked the talk was me pointing out that the recent signings of Emenalo was to build a team to suit Guardiola. Someone said that he would not fit into Chelsea and I explained why Guardiola can fit in.

I do not like Chelsea. I value Mikel despite most fans hating him. I value tidy midfielders like Javi Garcia, Fernando, Vitsel, Khedira. I would celebrate when Mikel leaves Chelsea because he is underrated. Maybe the most underrated player in the world today.

Anyone who watched the West Ham game will agree Mikel is not as useless as many Nigerian and Chelsea fans scream. In Oliseh's last games, Mikel did well.

I also rate Emenalo. Maybe you being a Chelsea fan who is used to rigid and strong play will not like the buys Emenalo made lately. Someone like me who smiles when I watch Celta Vigo, Villareal and Sevilla play will like Emenalo. That does not make Emenalo stupid. It is a clash in philosophies of the game.

I hope he gets sacked. His buys like Traore, Kenedy, Piazon frightens me. Imagine if hs was making these buys for Wenger.[/b]

Ibime:


You are a 4 year old boy.

I guess Emenalo was responsible for RDM's tactical genius in winning the UCL against all odds with a rag tag bunch of players. Mind you, Emenalo had not even started influencing that team.

While RDM was winning UCL, Emenalo was one of the haters briefing the board that he didn't win it the right way.

Name the Xavi, Pirlo and Scholes that Emenalo has signed. You would be telling us about Marko Marin and auxilliary wingers who do not control the centre of the pitch.

You forgot that Barca control possession from the centre of the pitch and have killers like Messi and Guardiola had players like Toure's and Seydou Keitas to go with supreme midfield controllers like Xavi and Busquets.

Pirlo had Vidal, Marchisio and Pogba bodyguarding him.

Meanwhile Emenalo would be expecting headless Ramires and snail Mikel to control Chelsea's tempo.

Ibime:


If you think Mikel fulfils the primary functions of a midfielder, we can discuss no further.

Emenalo should go and buy all the attacking players for Wenger. Wenger has not one anything substantial in 11 years despite having the best wingers and attacking midfielders in the Premiership.

The last time Wenger won any major trophy, he had Gilberto Silva, Vieira and Edu patrolling his midfield. They would soak all the pressure, then counter-attack swiftly with Pires, Henry and Ljungberg.

Wenger has not won a dime since he ditched that strong central midfield philosophy. The only ninja giving him hope recently is Coquelin, otherwise it would be the same Old Arsenal we have been seeing.

Ibime:


Van Ginkel was also an attacking midfielder at Vitesse, neither was he signed for the first team.

When he got to Chelsea and saw that Emenalo had filled the team with 100 attacking midfielders, the coach and himself decided it's best if he start learning DM. He was a box-to-box player, mostly an AM at Vitesse.

Until you understand that Emenalo will do everything to protect Mikel (his countryman who supported him when Grant brought him in and Ancelotti sidelined him) and Ramires (his first recommendation to Roman as Head Scout), you will just be yarning opata.

TheGoodJoe:
Give credit where it is due. It was Emenalo who told Abramovic to stick with Di Matteo that brought the UCL. You can not rewrite that history. It was Emenalo that brought Benitez that landed the Europa.

Go back and Check Oscar at Internacional. He was a brilliant midfield passer and walked into the Brazillian national team as a teenager. Oscar even wore the Brazilian ten shirt before he joined Chelsea.

During that time, you guys signed Romeu also. Mata could also play in the midfield position. Lampard was there. Mikel could play there too. Do not making look like all Emenalo signed were wingers.

TheGoodJoe:
Wenger won the FA Cup back to back. How is it not substantial?

I guess Matic is fulfiling his primary function now. Chelsea played better with a man down without Matic.

TheGoodJoe:

Ibime:


Matic has won the league for Chelsea, and competed for the title in Mourinho's first season.

It is only because of Matic that we can be talking about title.

Emenalo's midfield have been finishing 3rd and 4th every year, barely sneaking into UCL qualifying spot

TheGoodJoe:
Van Ginkel is a central midfielder.
