and bat ? Who also gave him a bad report on him? My point is that these two are not problem that board caused, conte dont actually want them

I agree with you that the Technical direction to buy these types of players as replacements came from Conte, but the financial direction (swapping Dzeko for Giroud and Sandro for Emerson) comes from the board. My point is, these half-measures are of no help to anyone as the new signings have not added anything different. The board always knew Conte would be leaving by summer so why follow his Technical direction but do a half job that profits no one. Maybe the new manager in 6 months time will prefer Batsman to Giroud, no? If they know they cannot afford the exact players Conte wanted, they should just chill till summer rather than buying the Okrika version.

I dey look am, You bought Barkley for 18M he has been in the hospital since then and you wan sell am for 20M? Are you going to sell the hospital with Barkley

Cahill 15M to retire or what value is he to anyone? laundry man for 15M

Hazard for 35M just to dance? Kaffy wey be professional dancer no dey collect pass 35k,Patapaa wey sing "one corner" sef no go ask for that kain money

Hazard 16.2Million to be paid in 38 installments

Hahahaha. So what you are saying is that dancing "one corner" can't be more valuable than singing "one corner".
I can't argue with that, after all most people value Paul more than Peter and Eddy Remedy was more crucial than Tetuila.

you are right but the transfer this season, the blame should be equally shared between the two parties. I feel conte target are either too old or above the club structure.

We cant be bidding sandro 60 while juve is looking for extra 10, for a position which isnt a top priority. Or bidding 50m for bonucci who already clocked 30 or rather looking for mildfielders who are already 30 like naingolan or vidal.

What about bidding 50m for koulibaly when napoli want more than that? Despite the fact that we dont know his real age?

For two seasons now have we bidded for any tangible winger?

The board have their own blame but conte doesnt have the eye for brighter talents on good age range.

Exactly my point, which is why sometimes doing nothing is the best option rather than putting money in Giroud and co which just reduces the money available to buy better players.

Ibime:
Kenedy proving at Newcastle what we said at the time. . . .that Emerson is just another needless signing from a senseless club who specialise in throwing away money by buying players where they are not needed. We already had a LWB fit for purpose in Kenedy.

Same with Giroud. What returns are to be had on the £18m we spent on a bench player for 18 months contract only? What has Giroud done that Batsman could not do until summer when Tammy Abraham becomes available. Has Giroud won us a single point? Have we got anything from that foolish signing that we could not get from Batsman, or even a youth player or even a false 9?

na Spy360 Man U dey flog like this?
Giroud out of Arsenal was the biggest transfer for me this season.

Lol that Giroud deal was straight up bizarre with Batsman and Abraham waiting in the wings. Perhaps the plan is to sell Batsman and Abraham tbh does not look like Chelsea quality

Also whose idea was it to go for Emerson Pamilerin as well?

We know Chelsea is traditionally a club of waste but it's hard to believe Conte is that much of a sitting duck that so many of these deals keep going on without his input

Ibime:


Fraudulent attempt to claim a Technical Director was not buying players will not work. All signings in the past, we have pinpointed the key movers and shakers. Feel free to go and review.

Emenalo don leave since October, So who is the one signing these players, Who signed Giroud Barkley and Pamilerin?

Maybe na Emenalo dey hack Chelsea account from Monaco to sign players

WHen you see that these players especially those with Italian league links like Zappacosta, Morata Pamilerin and Donkeyoko wey him don dey pursue for a while you cannot exonerate and start looking for Emenalo to blame just because..

Just stay on the sidelines shouting "Conte spent £250m" while those of us with interest in our club discuss internal matters, you hear?

When we are discussing foolish signings like Giroud, Emenalo and his fan boys should shut up because his gaffe of collaborating with Conte to sign the worst player in Chelsea history will not be forgotten:


According to The Times, Chelsea boss Antonio Conte and the technical director, Michael Emenalo, have identified Monaco star Tiemoue Bakayoko as the perfect replacement for the soon-to-be gone Oscar.

Emenalo has scouted Bakayoko on several occasions already this season and written positive reviews, while Conte accompanied him to Monaco’s Champions League clash with Tottenham Hotspur to keep an eye on him.

What common fan like me has seen in 5 games from his sitting room and given detailed breakdown which was 100% correct, Emenalo will not see on several scouting missions, no wonder he has never signed a decent DM in 7 years at Chelsea. Emenalo will not know what a good central midfielder looks like if it smacks him in his face. When we are discussing transfer gaffes this season, Emenalo fanboys should close mouth.

A40:

A small handful of those deals went on with his input most notably Donkeyoko and Zappacosta. But he is not responsible for anything close to the full £250m that your Apari keeps shouting about.

Afrodoc2 nihilistjnr and others which version are we to believe

The one above that is trying to rope Emenalo into the Bakayoko transfer or the one below that said Conte has been pursuing Bakayoko since he was at Juventus written by the same poster or Emenalo was working with Conte in Juventus to chase Bakayoko

Ibime:

This is why you need to do your research. I read an interview with Bakayoko where he said Conte tracked him as a youngster since Juventus days.

Ibime:
Bakayoko interview:

"When I was at Rennes and he was coaching Juventus, he was already watching me. I wanted to work with him and I am convinced he is going to improve me and help me reach my goals, personal and team."

Fatso which of the players bought was not with Conte input? Name them

lordfalcao:
but bakayoko is conte and emenalo signing together?

Correct. Not every signing must be disagreement.

Eruditor:


When all else fails, say “Pep is a fraud”. It would get you “likes”.

See him wriggling like an earthworm in salt now.

Its Guardiola the fraud that had a hand in all the City signings but it wasn't Conte that signed any of the players. When they won last season we were told of the genius of Conte when they failed this season, Its not Contes fault, he doesn't sign players

raumdeuter:

100% with no input was Barkley and Drinkwater.

Those with strong input are Bakayoko and Zappacosta

Morata was 2nd choice.

The rest the club bought a style of player which he identified as a need, without him having input on the actual names bought.

Ibime:


Correct

i am never a full believer of the emenalo scapegoating because i know most of the truth lies far away from what the press says.

Luckily emenalo has left and the club is still suffering transfer issues. Soon we would know who runs the show this time.

coincedently if emenalo was here, you will still say emenalo did this signing without conte's input. But alas its now the club

Stop reaching. I stated then that this was a collaboration they both agreed upon, or do you not understand English. Conte must take his share of blame for Donkeyoko, as must Emenalo. Or do you think it's beans for both Technical Director and Manager to fly to France together for scouting mission. Where have you read that Conte travels to scout players within his busy schedule? Both of them take the rap on the Donkey.

TalabiAudu:
Sell:

Moses 4M negotiable
Giroud 10M
Zappacosta 10M
Cahill 15M
Fabregas 8M
Pedro release
Bakayoko free
Drinkwater 12M
Barkley 20M
David Luiz release
Hazard 35M negotiable
Courtois 37M
Morata 30M negotiable

Who will buy Tortoise that amount? And Cahill??, 15m

lordfalcao:

Was it Emenalo and Conte ghost that flew to France together to scout the Donkey? Do you know how many hours of video analysis it takes for a manager to leave his day job and fly somewhere to scout player with Technical Director? They were both there in physical form, not apparition. I can't claim it's a hologram just to absolve either of them from that disgraceful signing.

Bakayoko was 100% COnte's idea which he sold to the board. Given that Conte has been chasing Bakayoko since Juventus when he didnt know Emenalo
No coach goes out and 100% buy players, they sell the idea to the board and the board will release money for it.

So if Guardiola says he wanted Sane and Txiki went on a flight with him to Germany to watch Sane at Schalke, So we can say the Sane bid is jointly on both Guardiola and Txiki

Maybe you have been foolish all along to be telling us Pep spent 500M and not linking it to the board who actually gave the go ahead and signed the check

Stop being clever by half
