CHELSEA Chelsea to sign another midfielder soon insists coach https://sportshills.com/2019/01/25/chelsea-to-sign-another-midfielder-soon-insists-coach/ Sarri seems quite pleased to have Higuaín, but he’s been hoping Chelsea would sign him a replacement for Cesc Fàbregas as well and that hasn’t yet happened — and may not happen at all with prime target Leandro Paredes looks set to join Paris Saint-Germain from Zenit instead. Zola, who rather unadvisedly spilled the beans on our interest in Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson the last time he gave a pre-match press confernce, decided to take a more cautious approach this time around. “I’m not in a position where I can say more about [the search for Cesc Fàbregas’ replacement]. It’s something we are talking with the club.” “How important is it to get someone in? It’s certainly an area where we could do, but it could be a problem if we have an injury. I think there is a good understanding between Maurizio and Marina.” -Gianfranco Zola; source: football.london

I still don't feel Ross is comfortable on the left of the three , he is right footed predominantly i think ?! Yeah agree with Kovacic as well , he looked like a player 1st impression but morning glory abit , but then both these players havnt played alot of footie last season?! who knows

Pedro is very frustrating(again last night done alot of hard stuff then done silly things) , be a decent squad player but not 1st on the teamsheet, Giroud yeah good backup or 3rd striker(samish age as Higs,so 1 will stay 1 will go i guess!), we give Pedro a extra year i think, Willian samish age we kinda stuck there.

Agree matey for the sake of me i can't believe Barkley,Kovacic, couldn't do that position also, jorgy's need some help! And hell lets not forget Kante, sometimes you need to be flexible and change guile ffs . It hasn't took long for clubs to know the 1 dimension Jorgy is.

Now he has or hasnt came out , the pressure is relieved from carrying that monkey on his back lol , it wasnt phantom back pain he had!

mmm hope they got to the bottom of his troubles

Barella prefers a move to Chelsea According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Cagliari midfielder Nicolo Barella would prefer a move to the Premier League despite interest from Inter Milan and Napoli. The outlet say a move to England would present Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United as options. But the report also claims that Barella is ‘much more enticed’ by Chelsea, with Maurizio Sarri and Gianfranco Zola both in favour of the deal.

I like to play with top, top players. At Chelsea I was able to play with one of the best in Costa for three years. I think Higuain is one of the best at the moment. He has scored a lot of goals. When you see his career he has done it everywhere, Real Madrid, Napoli and Juventus. I think he can do the same here. This season we have been playing good but we missed the guy to score just one goal. We have had a few games where we have played well and in the end we finished with zero goals, even though we created chances. It was like that against Spurs. If we had a striker that could score three goals, the game would have finished 5-1. But that hasn’t been the case. Higuain can do that. He is a top scorer, he can score anywhere. Have we missed a striker like Costa since he left? Yes of course. I like playing with Giroud and Morata, but when Olivier is playing he is doing his best for the side, he is more of a team player than a striker that just scores goals. Diego was sometimes not the kind of player to play a one-two with, but in the box he was amazing. He just scores one goal, we won and you have the three points. That’s what we need.

Hope when we get a dm he is big enough to defend corners/set pieces , then we can rest/drop Jorgy and play Emerson to negate that problem/excuse , its not like Alonso is a defensive wizard , tho lately i do wish he would magically disappear !

1 of the things that i like about him , he tracks back to his defensive position quickly not like Alonso who seems to thinking about his hair or something when he gets caught out of position(which he does alot more than Palmieri) Back to the afew more inches problem lol , isn't heightism a real thing ! Same height as A.Cole he done alright for us! If we get a new dm lets hope he is big so that he can help against physical teams
