Socur Toxanarosa

I was being ironic, Ziyech absolutely has a place in the team as it stands.

Because we have plenty of RW and CAM options after Mount is gone

Trapp is trash tho

Agreed, but who is a upgrade and attainable?

Kennedy didn't play a single match this season, forget about him, if Conte changes his mind during the pre-season and gives him a chance, fine, but for now he is a non factor and we shouldn't even consider him being part of the team next season. The same for the other youngsters that don't play.

VVD is a good player, but we have legit young players for the position, we need to upgrade on Moses asap, very poor on the ball.

Another great match, very solid performance.

He was always like this, he was never a technical player.

Who ever thought a great player could play well again after a bad patch?

We're not playing bad, but at the same time we are, strange match

Well, i rather Conte judging him then the great Leif, but to each his own.

Yes, he was the best when he was there, James peaked later, and i don't know why you listed a bunch of scrubs like Cardozo, Martinez, Hulk and Witsel.

Funny when you say "And that's excluding the little but strong leagues like in Portugal & Belgium" because Matic was the BEST player in the portuguese league when he played there, not CM, best player of any position. About the others, playing at Napoli/Lyon is different than playing for a top club, i don't watch a lot of Napoli/Lyon but it's a entirely different level being a starter for Chelsea, Nainggolan is probably a bit better but too expensive for his age. Fabinho is a good option but i like Saul the most of your list. We need another option anyway for depth but Matic job's is not an easy task, so picking a player performing well from some mid tier club is not guaranteed sucess, Matic was a monster for Benfica, the standards here are totally different.

If we could bring a better player in the summer and make him a rotation option, wonderful, problem is that there aren't many who can do his role better.

The amazing goal against PSG was last season tho.
