Peller is not the problem IMO.
The real issue is a broken system designed to neglect and ignore intellect. A system that has consistently undermined the efforts of promising talents across academia, forcing our brightest minds to “japa” or settle for less.
BBN pays 100M+ to winners, a reality show, fine. But most schools can’t even award their best graduating students ₦100k. The state can’t guarantee them jobs. In my time, our best graduating student, an exceptionally brilliant guy destined for greatness now works as a successful freelancer, digital analyst and YouTuber. He’s doing really well, but that mind was built for more. Top-tier virologist material, serving the nation. We lost that potential and so many others.
Youth unemployment is at a high, quite alarming for nation with immense potential and one of the youngest population average on the planet.
We churn out graduates yearly but fail to harness them. It’s time to fix the system and not bash the symptoms.
🚨 Xabi Alonso wants Chelsea to build their defence around two ball playing centre backs.
He is prioritising quick, technically complete defenders who are comfortable in possession and capable of consistently breaking the opposition’s lines with their passing.
Alonso is pushing Chelsea to sign at least two defenders with these attributes this summer
I have a feeling that Emegha could edge out Delap as João Pedro's backup in our squad. Emegha offers better box movement and box presence, which is needed when you are chasing a game.
Jackson, for me, isn't an impact second-half sub either. His box presence is worse than Delap’s.
I see Emegha as Alonso's Schick at Leverkusen, tall, powerful striker who can connect with crosses and make his presence felt in the box. Schick was so important for Alonso in that aspect. I'm not sure Delap and Jackson offer that.
For Jackson, his role should be starting when João Pedro isn't available or starting on the LHS, attacking like a second striker.
If my permutation is right, Delap could be the one to lose. I don't see much he can offer us when we are chasing a game against a low block. That could count against him.
@Blue_Footy@JacobsBen Colwill was out for the entire season, this guy, his back up, played 90 mins 3 times in the league all season.
He’s never fit, and he’s not good enough when he plays, tiptoes around like a ballerina.
@Blue_Footy@JacobsBen If Badiashile doesn’t leave Chelsea this summer, I will conclude he and he’s agent are into voodoo cos there is no way he shouldn’t be shown the door
🚨🗣️ Juan Mata on Marc Cucurella leaving Chelsea to join Real Madrid:
"He made the choice to go to Madrid, his childhood dream. For me, my childhood dream was to win the Champions League with Chelsea."
@Kdhchels_ Blue Blood 🩸!! Blue Heart 💙!! Loyal Soul who will indeed grow to be a Chelsea Legend.. I see big things ahead with bigger achievements coming up.. God Bless caicedo 🙏🙏
🚨🔵 Moisés Caicedo on Enzo Fernández leaving Chelsea:
🗣️ “It’s a decision he’s made, and it’s not something that happened overnight. I think he wants to try a different path and I don’t see anything wrong with that.”
🗣️ “If he was still fully committed to staying here, then it would be a completely different conversation. But you can’t force a player to keep loving a project once his mind is elsewhere.”
🗣️ “Honestly, I wanted us to go a long way together. We came here with big dreams, we wanted to dominate the midfield for years and become Chelsea legends together.”
🗣️ “But football has its own way of changing plans. Sometimes the people you start the journey with aren’t the ones you finish it with.”
🗣️ “Now it’s my responsibility to keep fighting for this badge. I hope the team bounces back as soon as possible because this club belongs at the very top.”
🗣️ “As for me, I still have one dream—to become a Chelsea legend. That’s why I came here, and that’s why I’ll keep giving everything for this club.”
🗣️ “People will always leave, new players will always arrive, but my commitment hasn’t changed. I want to stay here for a very long time and build something special with Chelsea.”
😁🌎 José Mourinho: “What am I looking forward to in the World Cup? I want Real Madrid players to LOSE…
…because I want them back for pre-season with me in July! (smiles)”, told BeastModeOn.
Christophe Lollichon on Penders:
🗣 "He has very good potential. He’s another guy from the Belgium school, like Courtois, like Koen Casteels. I spoke with Penders when Dunkirk played Strasbourg in the French Cup. I liked the conversation we had.
He’s very clever. I saw a mature goalkeeper. He has to improve with his feet, but at 20 years old, he’s very good. He has good positioning, he’s proactive and he wants to learn.
I felt this attitude in our conversation. He asked me about the Premier League. We spoke for just 20 minutes but it was very interesting."

@goalsside Amazing!!! This is what the world is all about!! Tolerance, Respect, Love irrespective of Colour, Religion or Race.. 🙌🙌.. The world is a safer place with people like these…🙏🙏
@goalsside This is what these tournaments are about!!! Not what trump has done to this world cup. Buzz kill. Really heart warming to see!! Well done Colombia!!
🚨🚨| BEAUTIFUL MOMENT: The entire Colombia fanbase near him respectfully waited for him to finish singing the Congo national anthem alone before joining in to 𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐄𝐑 him afterward 🥲🇨🇴
🗣 Moisés Caicedo: "I always supported Chelsea because N’Golo Kante played for Chelsea and he was my inspiration – he and Claude Makelele. I didn’t watch Makelele live but I would watch videos of him. I grew up watching them and they were my inspiration to become a professional player.
So when I got an agent, I asked him if it would be possible to get a Chelsea shirt and the next time I saw him, he brought a shirt for me. It was special for me. I would have liked to have had Kante on the back but I was still so excited just to have the shirt."

@dennise68605807 The sad part is that he can't avoid these misfortunes by being extremely careful. Their profession had made them automatic targets. We’ll be there.
You killed it all mate!! Who the hell does dis Mofo think he is!! Are u better than your captain who lead the team and the entire Nation on the field of play?? If you think you’re Jesus, We’ll all be waiting for ur crucifixion soon!!!
If Thomas Partey is ever proven guilty, we’ll hold him fully accountable and drag him as far as he deserves. But until then, nobody gets to preach to me about it.
What hurts the most is watching Black men bend over backwards to prove a point just to fit in, only to realize they’re still viewed the exact same way,through the same lens as everyone else with this skin. Spence, you’re no different, and you never will be. To them, you’ll always be the foreigner they once colonized. Turning your back on a brother who hasn’t even been convicted yet is shameful and despicable.
The saddest part? Every other teammate gave him a handshake but not you even you captain because apparently that would mean you’re better than the rest of them. Thats your decision and we don’t care what you decide to do but Let me tell you something: the day anything happens to you and it doesn’t even have to be abuse or rape, it could be anything then you’ll finally understand. You better live like a saint for the rest of your life, because we’ll be right there when it does.
