He played Serie B for a while at Verona but then also played Serie A with them when they got promoted the following season I think. It was in serie A he scored more of his Verona goals.
But the fact still remains Jorginho played his best football at Napoli.

And Like I said, some would rate him as world class, some would not. But your coach Pep obviously rates him very highly indeed. That is all.


andrewbaba44:


He would be noticed at napoli bro

I remember telling a chelsea fan that jorginho is a good buy but the dude said who know jorginho, anyway my main arguement be say the guy no be world class abeg

He played his best football at verona, you no expect them to know am nah, shebi e play seria B then self

First of all, they play different roles but I bet Kovacic will offer more to the midfield of Chelsea than Ziyech could ever do.

Kovacic offers multiple assets to the midfield. His blistering pace with the ball, fast dribbles in tight spaces, ability to turn an opposition attack to a counter in quick sessions, tackles, interceptions and passes.

How you expect Lampard to drop this assets for the flair Ziyech will bring is astonishing



You're a funny man. Ziyech? first of all, they don't ay same position and you can't compare a playmaker and a midfielder who controls play. Ziyech is allowed to lose the ball several times in the game because he's a playmaker but kovacic can't, just can't, won't can't bro. Ziyech plays from the wings and that's what Chelsea has been lacking, a left footed play since willian would rather cross the ball than cut in and score.

Is there any Nigerian player from Nigeria you even rate? I mean, before they make moves and prove you wrong.

Nothing funny. I am just pointing out how important Kovacic is to the team. I am not the one comparing them. I started off by pointing out they play different roles.

The nations league is a very good idea. We should have thought of it before the Europeans.
Now we have to think of how we customize it so it will be very beneficial to us.

So within 4yrs some countries will be limited to some meaningless friendly games again lowly teams, how will they improve? Seems like we want to be trying too hard to be like the Europeans, every two years is OK jare

BBC Sport says talks between United and Shanghai are continuing but the clock is ticking ahead of Sunday's deadline.

Ighalo looked relaxed as he arrived at Carrington training on Friday as he looks to get back to match fitness after lockdown.

Shanghai are said to be open to allowing the 30-year-old to extend his stay at the club he supported as a boy - if he puts pen to paper on a two-year contract extension with them first.

Chelsea have Callum Hudson Odoi who has literally zero goals this season as their starting winger, they also have Pedro and Willian who don't have up to 10 goals combined in the team, don't act like Chelsea is like Barca or Real Madrid

Chukwueze is already better than the wingers at Chelsea as it is

That may be your opinion it may not be the Chelsea approach.

You also forgot to mention 21 year old Christian Pulisic who competes with Hudson who is still only 19, who is probably ahead of them but none of them are ahead of Willian.

In this regard where will Chukwueze stand.

Then you need to understand preference is given to existing players just by association. Then add to the equation that Chukwueze will have to adapt to Chelsea and the EPL.

These are very clear objective observations he will not be given preference because he is Nigerian favourite by some.

I gave two examples of young players who did not get opportunity at Chelsea. I mean even Lukaku was not given much opportunity at Chelsea, Morata who came with expectations and proven quality did not really establish himself at Chelsea.

Chukwueze has played 26 games and three goals as winger that is not exactly exceptional. For anybody to conclude he will walk straight into Chelsea first team.

He is better off staying in La Liga and developing his career and improving his stats and abilities. Or moving to a team that will give him clear unrestricted opportunity.

As well as a very healthy interest with Nigerian football a lot more than l care to say.

I go to Europe maybe 6/7 times year to watch game. I watch quote a bit of European football but mainly English football. I also cannot comment on European football with the same level of knowledge as English football.

Me wey sabi yab willian

Chuks was only not starting in laliga recently, he is still a regular player for villareal and very important in their team, he is their best young player

You said he is not starting because the villareal coach prefer spanish players and because of the euros ? if na so then you no try for that one, is it not same coach that believes in chuks and has always been starting him, some days are like that bro, dude is still rated at 40/50 million euros if you wanna purchase and that shows he is good, and mind you he is one of the best youngsters in the laliga

Pulisic has even struggled at chelsea self , forget say e don score 5 epl goals


Pulisic did well against bayern nah , why you come dey downgrade am now,so you want make e score against bayern before you know say e do well abi? Supernerd you are the bias one here and its very clear .

Please did chuks score against madrid or barca? Yes he did well but did he score?

Please educate me

Thank you

Getting opportunity in Chelsea is not that easy and it competition in the team is very stiff.

Pulisic had played 16 games and 5 goals in the EPL and Chukwueze has played 26 games and has scored 3.

And if Pulisic is struggling then what will happen to Chukwueze. Meanwhile you have 19 year old Hudson hungry waiting for opportunity. I won't even mention the academy boys knocking on the door.

That's the clear reality of the situation.

Your imaginative prejudice makes you creative but also untruthful. Try and be objective or your deductions become clouded with premeditated negative emotion.

I did not say BETTER I said there are quality youth players in Chelsea all knocking on the door of first team football.

Let me educate you about things you have no idea of that you can only learn by participative association.

Preference will be given to existing youth players who show real promise. This is much more now a reality than EVER BEFORE because of what Frank Lampard has done in his first season with youth players.

Those Chelsea youth players will have been ingrained and trained from the ages of 9/10 in the Chelsea football way and ethos. At age 16 they will not require transition to play in Chelsea or the EPL.

In the past youth players like Lukaku, Kakuta, as well as new quality signings like Morata, Salah, De Brain, were not given much time to perform. You must hit the ground running or be dropped there is very little PATIENCE.

These are the variables that Chukwueze will face and have to overcome.

By comparison as you have implied Chukwueze has played in Villareal in La Liga and therefore he is better. Do you think if Pulisic, Hudson, Willian and Pedro would not be first team regulars for Villareal.

Nonetheless, playing in La Liga and playing in the EPL are not the same. Before you misconstrue, l did not say BETTER l am saying DIFFERENT that means greater emphasis on certain attributes than others. Which will be different from La Liga.

Finally, tell me one player that l did not rate that that proved me wrong

If not for transfer ban,who will be looking at the academy boys self ??

I just Dy look Lampard...this season will pass like that for him . His status as a Chelsea legend won't stop Abrahimovic from sacking him if he doesn't deliver next season..and to do that,he needs quality players...
Now, Chukwueze isn't exactly proven and is still very much work in progress,but those academy boys at Chelsea are nowhere better than him... He didn't get nominated for the golden boy award for nothing.. I believe his stat this season will be better if he wasn't being kept on the bench...

The agent of Lille striker Victor Osimhen confirms ‘Napoli are the only club that wants him 100 per cent right now,’ but there’s interest in the Premier League.

The Nigerian forward has been linked with Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United and Everton, but Napoli remain the favourites.

“I can confidently tell you that the only club that wants Victor 100% right now is Napoli,” agent Ariyo Igbayilola told The Cable in Nigeria.

“But the final decision on whether he wants to join them lies with him. Also, Newcastle are in the race just like Tottenham. But it’s just interest alone. No real sign of commitment from them.

“I think with the pressure from different clubs in Europe, I doubt if he will stay with Lille in the coming season.”

The agent revealed he had even spoken to Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho about 21-year-old Osimhen.

“We told Mourinho that if he wants Victor, will Harry Kane be leaving? If Harry Kane is still playing for Tottenham, will Victor play? Because he will always be benched for him.

“He needs a club where he will always play full games, week in, week out. Not to be kept on the bench.”
