Wonder what's going on in Pedro and maybe Willian's heads right now seeing this signing. They both likely already know they're off. Hopefully Willian doesn't coast for the rest of the season. Probably finally go to Barca on a free.

Ziyech is an upgrade on Pedro and will take his spot.

The Willian one is still up in the air. Lampard wants him to stay and if he does stay, then I highly doubt we'll sign Sancho (or even Boga for that matter).

Just a bit worried if he'll need a period of adaptation which at the age he's at he can't really be afforded because the physicality of the Premier League will probably come as a culture shock.

Having said that from what I've seen of him, and also what I've heard about him, he's a hard worker too and prepared to press and run, not just pleasant on the eye. A left footed attacker is also a big plus, allowing for more variation and options for Lampard moving forward.

I think whichever way you look at this though, a player who has torn up his league the last couple of seasons and played very well in Europe too, to be able to pick up for not much over £30m represents excellent value for business.

It also emphasises the transfer signings we've made since the summer of 2018, that we are focusing on players who will suit a more expansive, attacking mentality to the one previously used by the club.

Loads of envy around other forums saying we have signed a complete gem of a player. Oh, and the odd, "Chelsea have been had at that price"

My brother's friend said he saw Lampard in Amsterdam yesterday around 11AM. Didn't know whether he was trolling or not, shortly after he said that we sign Ziyech! I'm buzzing, Ziyech is a class player.

Buy him back and then sell him for triple the price. 

If we do sign Boga back, then we're definitely not signing Sancho! 

Boga is just too good. I have watched him couple of times at Sassuolo this season and he is the real deal.

great player, welcome!

Yet again, this came completely out of the blue. Who would have thought on Monday/Tuesday? Really well done by the board.

One thing, though - don't stop there. As it was said, keep 'em coming!

Just go 2014 Atletico Madrid on Ajax and sign 

Onana 

Van de Beek 

Ziyech

My colleagues (Bayern fans) are absolutely gutted to have missed out on him. Great player for a very reasonable fee. 

We paid less for him than we got for Oscar !!! Let that sink in.

Both have been coasting for two seasons now with a good game here and there.

On the flip side....I wont have to endure that turd called Willian again....In pecking order Ziyech Odoi and Pulisic should be above him either he  extends or not...

[BlueLyon 9,359]

The one good thing that is certain is that he has strong delivery, freekicks and corners will be quite dangerous again, finaly.

Everything else, from tactical and physical side, remains to be seen how he does it in PL.

One bloke I know who saw him at the bridge stated it was one of the best individual performances he’s ever seen, and he’s been a match goer for 30 years

Great deal. Nowadays you normally can't get real quality for that "little". Good start, now hopefully the board will keep it up and sign at least a striker and a left-back, Ziyech alone won't make us competitive.

[Hutcho 8,443]

Great signing. Can't wait to see him in Chelsea blue and will enjoy watching him for ajax even more the rest of the season
