I doubt Alexis will stay in Arsenal

I doubt Bayern will still chase Alexis after signing James

City has been reported to be the destination of choice for Alexis unless Chelsea can do a Lukaku and steal the bid

WHichever way, I think Alexis is a huge player and an upgrade on anyone who gets him

Wenger was absolutely correct when he said that there are 2 transfer markets currently, one for the EPL and another general market.

Madrid have been valuing James at 60m to 70m thinking that an EPL team, either Man-U or Chelsea will take the bait, just like Morata right now, when none of them did and James started agitating for a move, they had to now dispatch him for the only club that came for an absolutely ridiculous deal.

There's no way, they would have done this type of deal with an English club.
The EPLs excessive wealth has become a disadvantage to it.

All clubs in Europe double the value of a player once an EPL team comes for them. They'll strong-arm the English clubs. It's a very unfortunate situation.

There is no way Morata is worth 70m, if it were a team like Sevilla, napoli, Dortmund, he'll be sold for a maximum price of 45-50m. It's very unfortunate indeed.

lordfalcao:
i have given you video to create gifs for us, you ran away. can you list 5 matches rudiger played as a RB since you said he was pushed to the flank ? Unless you're talking of RCB that's where he has been playing..

While offline, someone had already helped to list some of the matches. So were you surprised that i was right? It's high time you started arguing based on facts with open mind.

lordfalcao:
grin grin airmark na enemy of something good.. He no go see am as far as say nobi blunder. He should be happy we bought a defender who can play virtually every position at the back.. This is something only ceaser azubuike can only do in this our current set up.

Are you for real? Instead of you to stop commenting further, you typed the gibberish above. You thought i was wrong by saying rudiger was pushed to rb, by challenging me to list the matches. Someone helped me to list them and you were saying i'm an enemy of something good. You aint serious at all.

lalaboi:


What reason? na you be Roma coach?

Dude, stop making claims like these. How many Roma games did you watch last season for you to say such.

Rugiger and Manolas are not the same type of defenders. You have one who is excellent in just the CB position and you have another which can play Right back, Left back and center back effortlessly and you nor fit appreciate such. instead, na yeye slander you dey do for here.

If peeps start putting up stupid gifs of Hazard now, will you say because of that Hazard is useless?

Give the dude a chance in the blue shirt.


If you like put up hazard's gifs, his strengths overshadow his weaknesses and i had stated here last season that hazard needed to be moving to scoring positions and improve his shots at goal. Hazard is not my cb, so my cb should not be calamitous, cos any moment of madness will result to gnashing of teeth. If despite cahill playing well in most of our games and even scoring vital goals last season, most of us still believe we need an upgrade, why wont i have the right to scrutinize the one we bought for 35m as the upgrade? Is this the type of defender that will bench the cbs in real, bayern, barca or juve? What we need most is an excellent cb to replace cahill, not 'jack of all trades' type of defender. Bar aerial balls advantage, azpi is better than this lad as my rcb. Our standards may be different, i cant lower mine, when higher one can be reached. Can rudiger bench hummels and boathand in the german team? He is just an average defender that bruises and his physicality may cost us greatly if conte doesnt work on him. When he is up against swift and daring attackers, who wont quake to put leg between his leg and the ball, while he goes with a tackle, he will be one more away from being sent off. If we couldnt give ake and christensen chance, why should we buy and give a 35m defender, showing a lot of vulnerability, chance? We have seen great defenders in our club in the past, so no one can tell me nonsense about a defender who hardly stays on his feet defending. Just like in the case of his idol, we will be here to analyse his performances in big matches and i will refer to some of these posts that time.

donjazet:


Airmark and Bigkesh can't just seem to get over the loss of Ake. I'll advice you to just ignore them whenever they start lamenting about the issue, they're very sentimental about the issue, so just let it go.


I supported the sale of ake with buy-back, if you can check my past post. I was thinking he would be sold to get a big defender, not knowing it was for djilobodji 2.0, rudiger. I was expecting bonucci, van dijk or manolas, only for us to cough out 35m for a defender who is not in first 11 of his national team.

timbros:
If Manolas is at that level you guys are painting him here, he wouldn't be in the market for anything less than 45m and Zenith wouldn't have been his destination.

Why don't you guys give Rudiger a chance first before all the attack? And airmark can you be kind enough to post the gif of that video link lordfalcao pasted? We've seen how he swept the floor. Can we see what's in that link please?


Most of the top teams had trailed manolas in the past and roma refused. Barca even gave them varmealen on loan, in order to force them to sell. Dont say what you dont know. As regards giving rudiger a chance, we have no choice again, roma cant return the money. But every action can be praised or criticised. When we bought luiz most of you guys criticised it, but i knew he could improve under conte. The question is, who is this rudiger going to bench? We have seen how shaky he could be as lcb, and never in this world will i prefer him as my rcb ahead of azpi.

Thecassanova:

shocked shocked
Ohmo na player them dribble reach like this!

Bad as them say Cahill is I never saw him dribbled like this before.

I would patiently be watching him on top my Lapalapa tree next season when he starts.

Na otu defenders we dey dribble like this back then. We call that dribble in yoruba, isakole. Once they give you twice like that, you will be mocked all day.

raumdeuter:

How is this worrisome? We have rudiger, who will break his leg with just a sliding tackle. Thats the only positive i see in that german boy. The fear of my rudiger is the beginning of winning ucl and epl.

airmark you are the one that shouldn't say what you don't know. I never criticised Luiz second coming, in fact I was against his sale in the first place.

Where was Barca when Manolas nearly signed for Zenith for just 26m? Or Manolas prefer some Russian club to one of the best clubs in the world? Or maybe Zenith outbidded Barca?

Rudiger might not be the best defender in the world but calling him Djibolodji 2.0 or Sodje without him even kicking a football for us yet? Come on!

Let me tell you how some stuffs work. Most players before agreeing to join a club have their terms which interested clubs must meet. Before joining roma, juve and arsenal wanted him, but he ignored them. Players join teams that are ready to agree with their terms. Barca is with umtiti and pique, whose contractual terms may shut out manolas. Thats why some clubs would agree with a player and the deal wont be sealed until some players are flushed out for the incoming one. So transfer is not just adding 1+1. Thats how hulk went to zenith when bigger clubs were chasing him. He is now in china. Fact is, manolas is a better cb than rudiger and i am not a greek. cheesy Still expecting a cb, cos for now we just signed a right back who can play other positions.

I'm trying to come up with past experience on things I've done before on 2 topics for an interview;

1)Leading and communicating;

Think about a scenario in your past experience where you've been a leader (team lead) and you were able to carry your team along and communicated well with them

2) Building capability for all;

Has to do with you identifying that your team member is lacking a skill and how you went about it.




@ Nihilist,ibime,raumdeuter,nateevs,griffon,funlord, airmark, timbros, Donjazet and anyone interested in helping out,kindly do pls......

Kindly assist pls as it is very urgent...

1. One time our captain who was a CB got injured and they brought in this freshman signing anyways, we immediately conceded 42 goals...At this point i decided to take things into my own hand so I slide tackled the Mofo and surprise surprise we made a 43 goal Comeback with 10 men down.

2. I noticed my neighbours wife was always gloomy and rude to everyone in the neighbourhood so I strived to get closer to her and she opened up that Oga Boss wasn't servicing her well, Now Madam boss was by no means attractive but I knew I had to take one for the neighbourhood team, Oga boss was lacking in Bedmatics Skillsets so i stepped in and voluntarily serviced Madam boss, ever since it has been nothing but peace in the neighborhood.

Manolas is another Bernatia..Believe me he will not be an upgrade to either Cahil, Luiz or azpi, just another CB. Rudiger purchase is better.
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by airmark(m): 5:38pm On Jul 11, 2017
Some people will criticise hazard for a whole season for not tracking bellerin, but they wont want us to criticise a defender defending stupidly. If it was cahill that gave eriksen that free goal, against denmark, some of us would be on that story till next year. A defender showing vulnerability is not the one to rely on, for ucl. He might be good few seasons ago, but at present i cant see anything spectacular in him.

I respect your soccer analysis. But telling me manolas is another benatia and that he is not an upgrade to cahill, is a joke. Manolas is a blend of both old-school and modern day cb. He can match a swift attacker with speed and can compete with a bullying striker. Every defender make mistakes, but this rudiger will be more exposed in epl, trust me. The question you guys have not answered is, who will this guy bench?

Him and Azpi will share RCB/RB position. I heard we are getting Van dirjk too. As for manolas you never can tell, epl is different. A Greek player for that matter.

Azpi will be even better as rcb next season so i dont know how rudiger will dislodge him. Van dijk is probably going to liverpool. Arsenal is showing interest too. I doubt if chelsea will pay his fee, after getting rudiger for 35m and we still have a striker to buy and bakayoko lurking around. As regards manolas, it's not a country thingy, the same epl that van persie made his name, is the same league his countryman, depay got thrown away after flopping. It's about individual player. I remember telling manure fans that depay wouldnt make it in epl, when they signed him. Just like this rudiger issue, they called me names, now the rest is history. I pray for rudiger to prove me wrong and even if he wont, his blunders should not wreck chelsea before we make adjustments.

Bro trust me his flaws will be managed properly by conte..Remember Conte play to players strength, see Luiz and Moses as an example. Would you suggest a van persie kind of player for cfc, an injury prone. I preferred van dirjk too but seeing that we have other position like LB and CF/ST as priority to get we don't need to splash outrageously on a CB for now.

So, did buying rudiger solve our lcb issue? It means we will continue to use cahill as lcb, which i am not comfortable with, against the big guns. Thats the point.

Gianfranco Zola : “To be honest, I was thinking Chelsea should go for Andrea Belotti in Italy. “I thought that considering the type of qualities Costa has, that Belotti was the perfect fit. Morata is a little bit different, he’s more of a finesse player.
“He hasn’t got the presence of a player like Costa in the box. He’s a different player, he brings other qualities. Costa was very influential last season and [finding a like-for-like replacement] will be the key.”


When someone like zola analyse stuffs, you learn. This is exactly what i said about morata some weeks ago, he is less aggressive in the box, and some people who hardly watch laliga were arguing with me.

It was actually this point I was making when we got linked to rudiger. While most of us agreed we needed to upgrade Cahills position last season,one will expect any player coming in will be strictly for that purpose but it ain't the case.

We have a utility player who I don't see dislodging moses or Azpi from their positions and definitely can't play Cahills position. This begs the qxn,why did we sell Ake who looked comfortable enough playing as a LCB to buy a player who is not comfortable enough playing as a LCB?

Some people will be talking rubbish as though they know better than the coach that made the signing.. the coach is the one with the job,he knows what he wants and sets his targets according to how he feels his needs would be met. Every player has his flaw..

how can someone not play under the new coach and you're already terming him a failed signing!.. Same thing they said about Alonso but he proved them wrong. if you're not comfortable with it.. open your own club and sign your choice of players... it's that simple... shiioooor!

Cahil is not that bad of a defender, besides no big club parade an exceptional defender this days bar maybe Juventus, and same juve defenders conceded 4 against Real Madrid side. Btw, it is not possible we sign sandro, van dirjk and a top CF/ST in same transfer window due to the fee, even if we have the money to do so.
