lordfalcao:
who is the board that got palmeiri barkley, giroud now that emenalo is not around?

lordfalcao:
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.

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

raumdeuter:


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

raumdeuter:


If Emenalo had been here in January only God knows the amount of curses they would have heaped on him for Giroud and Pamilerin

Ibime:


Was it also Conte that told Emenalo to write several glowing scouting reports on Donkeyoko? They both take the blame. If Emenalo believes Donkeyoko is crap, he would write the truth, not famzing Bakayoko upandan. And if he doesn't believe in Yoko, he would advise the board against selling Matic to protect the team against Yoko phuckups.

Ibime:


Unlike you, I have always given my opinion transfer by transfer, not like you who either blame it all on Conte or absolve Emenalo or vice-versa. Even as at last summer 2016, I gave breakdown of who signed who. I would not blame Emenalo for Luiz knowing its a Roman signing, and gave Emenalo props for Batsman signing and Conte props for Kante etc.

Ibime:





Emenalo does not have monopoly on transfer phuckups.

This is why I take care to blame Conte for his own phuckups like Bakayoko etc, and also took time to say I rate Batsuayi even though he is an Emenalo signing.

Some of you (lordfalcao and Raumdeuter) would like to blame Conte for all the signings, while others would like to blame the board and claim no input from Conte. As for me, I take mine on a case by case basis eg Luiz & Torres I blame on Roman cos Roman wanted them, and I apportion Emenalo his blame for disastrous midfield handling, likewise Conte will get his share of stick for Donkeyoko and Zappacosta etc.

raumdeuter:

2. Get his darling Bakayoko that he had always wanted from his Juventus days and praised. Bakayoko came mainly because of the opportunity to play with Conte
3. Get his Morata to come and play for him once more
4. Get his country men Zappacosta an opportunity to get some of Chelsea money

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

raumdeuter:


In Man City of the 500M transfer. who are the Guardiola signings and who are the board signing.

lordfalcao:
who is now the board that signed giroud palmieri, without conte's consent

Nihilstjnr:


2 Years ago, I already pointed out that Emenalo from the job description on the Chelsea website did not have the power to purchase any single player.

The best he could do was recommend, and then someone above him would decide whether to follow his recoomendation.

Where the argument ended was when the anti-Emenalo crew were unable to tell us how Marina decided whether a player was worth buying or not.

Emenalo left last year. We don't even have a technical director sef. Yet transfers are still happening and Conte is still raising hands up that it wasn't him.

Now we are hearing 'Board signing', the same board that i pointed out years ago.

The boys would be apoplectic with fury if you suggested that someone else other than the usual scapegoat was buying players, are now the same people wondering who the hell is signing Giroud and Barkley.
I'm personally just happy for Emenalo, because I'm sure those uninformed Nairaland comments must have followed him to his dreams sef

The man for don wake up one midnight sweating and shouting ibime, while wondering what the hell that word even meant.

Ibime:
As long as Guardiola is not beefing with the board like Conte, you should know that Guardiola has full input on everything. The board are his friends and City hired them 2 years prior to Guardiola with the sole intention of luring Guardiola.

Ibime:


According to Raumdeuter and Lordfalcao, it's all Conte signing while according to you it's all Marina. So which of you is correct?

Left cannot join with right to oppose the person in the middle. Roman PA was not making any signings in 2012.

raumdeuter:


Regardless of whether they are friends or enemies, They cannot agree on every transfer. So its silly to exonerate the coach from him.
Guardiola got to Bayern wanted Neymar, Bayern declined and gave him Gotze since thats who they can afford.

If the signing turned out well the coach will get the credit. If Gotze turned to Messi, we for dey hail Guardiola for such a wise transfer

raumdeuter:


I remeber very well, Someone even posted a picture of Emenalo sitting beside a player at a contract signing as evidence that Emenalo was responsible Thats how illogical many of these posters are

Emenalo is a Sporting director who mostly ratifies the decision of the board or the coach. Just like most sporting directors at big clubs.
The board owns the money, the coach uses the player. These are the 2 sides mostly involved and that share the risk.
Do you think Txiki will sign anyone for City against Guardiola or Mansoors approval?

If Txiki likes let him make 100 recommendation and scouting reports. If Mansoor no like am, He wont pay shishi, If Guardiola no like am he wont play simple

At Bayern currently, Hasan Salihamidzic is the Sporting director, Yet everyone knows for player signings its the board- Ulli/Kalle or the coach e.g Ancelotti/Juup

For example our last transfer window, Rudy Sule Tolliso were Management signing, James was a coach signing. Just like Thiago was a Pep signing, Javi Martinez was a Juup signing etc The Sporting directors role is simply to make statement for the press and pose for pictures

Now imagine a Bakayoko that Conte has identified from Juventus is now jointly blamed on Emenalo

Like say you(Conte) don dey eye one sneakers(Bakayoko) from Naija(Juventus) but your money no reach, you enter UK(Chelsea) after doing well in your first session in school(winning the league), your pops(Roman) gave you the money. you carry your brother or friend follow you go mall.

If the sneaker turns bad, How is this on your brother?

Ibime:


Lets not confuse money issues with our gripes against Emenalo which is failure to provide a balanced squad within financial reason. This is why I've not been really commenting the last few years where money restrictions changed the parameters.

In 2012 summer when Chelsea spent over £100m on plethora of wingers and Emenalo argued with RDM over £10m to sign Wanyama, how does that relate to Gotze and Neymar?

Nihilstjnr:


I think you'll find that she was.

The key determinant here is "Who opens the Purse strings?"

The answer is Marina.

The next question is, how does Marina determine the value of a player she's negotiating to buy. It's not as if the player has a supermarket tag. So how does she assess the worth of a player? The only way I can think off is that she too must be involved in the scouting process...

If she's involved in scouting process, it means she has her own ideas of a footballer she wants at the club, and can duly overrule anybody else.

Otherwise Emenalo is not around, and Conte is still complaining about players. How manage?

raumdeuter:

Did the board agree to sign Wanyama and Emenalo was the only reason he wasn't signed?

How does it relate to Gotze Neymar Guardiola and Bayern? Okay there you go..

Guardiola wanted Neymar, The board didn't want Neymar and offered Gotze in its stead. So Matthias Sammer the Sporting director will then argue with Giardiola on the demerits of signing Neymar. Just like Emenalo argued with RdM on Wanyama(if he did)

lordfalcao:
a decent Dm in 7 years? What of kante?

Ibime:



Nobody opens the purse-strings but Roman. No PA was making signing in 2012.

Marina does not go signing whoever she wants regardless of the needs of the team and the managers wishes like Emenalo did in 2012 and 2013 where he can go signing 100 wingers while manager is asking for just one CM.

Marina signs positions and style of players that the manager wants, just the cheaper version. If Conte wants Sandro, Chelsea scouts will recommend cheaper versions of Sandro eg Emerson. If Conte wants Dzeko, Chelsea scouts will recommend Giroud. This is the role Emenalo used to fulfill, except when Emenalo had the most power, he had none of these financial restrictions and still failed to build a balanced squad.

Nihilstjnr:

Let me ignore for a minute, the fact that Chelsea FC website identified Marina as being in charge of recruitment in 2012.

Nihilstjnr:

If it's roman that opens up the purse strings, then how is it Emenalo's fault who get's bought? Are you saying Emenalo will just cough, and Roman will go and bring tissue? Who was the boss in the relationship?

Ibime:


According to Raumdeuter and Lordfalcao, it's all Conte signing while according to you it's all Marina. So which of you is correct?

raumdeuter:


No name. Better put Emenalo from Monaco

airmark:


Are you sure you are a Chelsea fan? You ask questions that are expected from other clubs' fans, who are ignorant to Chelsea matters. That's how you didn't know that Luiz was injured and started foolishly talking about rudiger benching him.

When will you stop disturbing people with arguments that will keep exposing your ignorance of issues related to Chelsea?

That guy is so annoying. That's how i posted an audio where Emenalo confirmed that, Conte was dissappointed as they couldn't land Lukaku, his first choice. The mumu still argued that it was a lie and asked me to provide a link where Conte confirmed it.

If a doctor shows him an xray result, confirming his wife's pregnancy, he will ask him to open the belly, that he wants to see the foetus with his eyes.

Ibime:


Rubbish! Marina became CEO in October 2014. How was Romans PA listed as being in charge recruitment in 2012. Maybe you meant recruitment for the legal and secretarial team!!!
