I was just thinking that too - Hazard could learn a thing or two about finishing from Traore. Whisper it quietly but so too can most of our forwards and midfielders bar Fabregas... and Mikel.

Bertrand Traore vs BNI Indonesia All-Stars Bertrand Traoré - Vitesse Arnheim - All Goals, Skills & Assists 2014/2015 Regards. Traore is such a clean finisher. He is more than ready to contribute next season.

A pot-bellied Hazard dribbling through teams will be a sight to behold. Laptop wallpaper sorted for life.

I personally hope he keeps the belly.

I'd genuinely rather have a broken Falcao instead of Higuain. I hate that guy's game.

Oh. I don't think he's going to be a Chelsea player for much longer anyway - as @chelseayouth alluded to earlier Musonda thinks highly enough of himself (and rightly so to be fair) so is unlikely to get caught up in the Chelsea loan game / system. He'll be gone sooner rather than later.

Have I missed something? What did he do?

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

It's a really tough one for those who both passionately love Mourinho and despise Mikel. The cognitive dissonance is at an all-time high right now.

Now make him vice-captian please, Jose.

Mikel haters are the WOAT.

If somebody paid 49m for me I'm asking for more than 100k a week. An agent who had any sense Could get Sterling a big contact.

I will never get behind this, man. 57m is 'world-class attacking player at the peak of his powers' money. I wouldn't pay 57m for Essien or Vieira now either.

Crazy. I wouldn't even want to pay half of that for him.

Davey was about as athletic as a refrigerator.

Good move. Now get similar moves for Boga, Musonda etc.

Fatigue isn't the issue. Ability is.

Willian's basic level of technique is much higher in my opinion.

Oscar is capable of doing good or even great things with the ball occasionally but his normal output is the issue. He messes up so often that the things he's capable of doing do not compensate for his usual level in my opinion.

I expect him to be no better than Torres so my expectations for him are incredibly low. If he gets even close to double figures I'll consider him a success.

It would be but those are mistakes from 9 and 4 years ago respectively. Since then we have completely changed the type of signings we make - so much so signing that signing the current Falcao seems like 10 steps back let alone one. Honestly, we're going into the season hoping he doesn't have to play that much. This is such a shit deal

Trust me, I get that. Roman and Jose have a good understanding now. What can ruin that, however, is Jose signing a dud simply because his agent needs a favour. Do you seriously think anybody else at the club thinks this is a good idea? Jose must have had a lot of convincing to do to get the go ahead on this one and for what? A player that looked terrible all season and scored 4 goals; is coming off a big injury; looked awful at the Copa America and is on a huge salary on top of that. Then there's the fact this is going to take minutes from Remy. This a huge and ultimately unnecessary gamble.

That won't. The Falcao deal, however....

That is exactly who I'm talking about. I'd never imply that about you and other rational supporters, Tomo. In fact, the way you have described it is pretty much my thoughts too. I've said it on here before but Cech and Drogba are my two favourite players of the past 11 years by a million miles. Seeing Cech doing the business for Arsenal will sting but I have too much admiration for the man to ever chat shit about him and I just hope all Chelsea supporters felt that way. Cech is the last guy I want to read that Judas chap about.
