Kante is here. Can't help but wonder why he is not interested in UCL for this season?

Shey leicester wan win Ucl ni

Kante don land. Best signing so far.

Conte. Kante. Ake. Thread done scatter.

Any left back called Lante or Bonte? Sign him up abeg. I think the clue is in the name this summer?

You know I've missed party so wouldn't mind having one here tonight

They are playing in the UCL this season and we are not.

chrisley024:
One season UCL

Why? CFC and a couple of other bigger teams were after him, so why us? Conte or?

Nihilist:

kudi cash ego

He had an extremely improved offer from LFC and he is like a boss in the team. Why Chelsea?

Any one with a link to watch the preseason match at 6.00pm?

Excellent signing worth every penny,someone who gives everything for his team something we lacked last season , now let's fix our defence and we'll be back in the champions league in no time.

Kante can smell the future. Sacrificing short terms losses for long terms gains.

The dude is a midfielder even in real life.

I just saw emenalo's half time interview and heard kante has been signed and came here. Thats good news .

Nothing spoil. Chelsea will come good. Youth players are not the answer at the moment.

Haba 2-0.

Who are those playing sef?

hensben:

which youth players

Chelsea XI: Begovic, Ivanovic, Djilobodji, Terry, Baba Rahman, Mikel, Matic, Loftus-Cheek, Moses, Willian, Costa

Subs: Blackman, Delac, Hector, Miazga, Aina, Chalobah, Kenedy, Cuevas, Oscar, Atsu, Traore, Remy

Nihilist:
I quite like the idea of gabriel barbosa as well. He's a tricky little striker kind of in the Aguero mould. The main problem with these brazilians is their love for partying and faaji lifestyle. This lad is only 19 and has already covered himself in tats and barbed a funny hairstyle.

If Conte could figure out how to control the exuberant Pogba, he may be able to handle 'Gabigol' though. Let's see what happens.

@ the bolded dont you think you are somehow a little bit moral. Besides Besides what is wrong with faaji once in a While, I get your point tho.

Nihilist:


I don't like this...it looks like a stewpeed TD actually recommeded some youth for training afterall. A whopping 13 players aged 23 and below.
Mehn I can only pray that I dont get unjustified hate in my own life the way Boda Emenalo gets it. Amen.

Some first team players have not resumed

Pataki:


Who knows how many seasons Chelsea will go before they ever smell continental football again? There are various factors big name players consider before they sign for clubs. One of such factors is, are they going to play in European Championships? You think a Cesc Fabregas will leave Barcelona to go and sign for Norwich or Watford, in this day and age where you can make so much money from global marketing brands if you are featured in continental matches?

Or you think a certain Kante who fought tooth and nail to make sure his club features in European Championship season will suddenly, let it all go and decide to play for a Chelsea? What is the incentive?

Every player looks at the opportunity they have at the moment and grab it. Football is a game that one season you are fantastic, the next season you are probably on crutches. So forget all these bigger pictures you are painting here. Na Emenalo dey see bigger picture.

Pataki:


Financial stability/security matters a lot these days. But then again, there are those who are into the game for the passion and joy that it gives them.

Hard to categorically state what motivates a player either for the money or the passion. But then again, Kante does not strike me as the kind of player that will want to deny himself of the opportunity of a Champion's League feature this coming season just to play for a dying Chelsea.

Pataki these are excerpts from our discussion not long ago about Chelsea's ability to sign 'big' players this season.

I'm very interested to hear what you have to say now.

Hear him...

‘I am so happy to have signed for one of the biggest clubs in Europe. It’s a dream come true for me.

‘The opportunity to work with Antonio Conte, a brilliant coach, and some of the best players in the world was simply too good to turn down.

‘My first season in English football was very special and now I hope to go on to achieve even more during my time as a Chelsea player. I am looking forward to meeting up with my new team-mates and helping the club achieve a lot of success.’

Dying Chelsea? lol...

Ibime:


Don't call me a liar nigga. At most tell us it is a lie, or that I am mistaken. Respect yourself please.

If you don't know then shut up. Don't come here to tell lies and then claim that you are not a liar. Respect yourself

lmao, you are rubbing it in big time...
When I saw O-2 I thought the match was played at highbury

bigkesh:

Nihilist you are better than this!!
Even my kid brother knows they are there because the main guys are resting....Solanke,Colkett and co dey play under-19 euros
He had no choice man
He should have sent just 11 players on a preseason tour na
Thank God you even highlighted Miazga,Hector and Papy.....Should those guys even have anything to do with us in the first place if our TD isn't brain dead?

I didn't actually highlight Papy. I highlighted Miazga(age 20) and Hector(age 23).

Can you tell me what I said wrong now? Are these not youth players? Why should they not be in the first team?

With first team players for that matter, even with the almighty kunta kinte

Brazilians tend to party at the expense of their career - Ronaldinho, Robinho, Adriano, Romario, etc
