Well explained. Now I have some clarity However I m a little confused. If Fabinho is so good and Bakayoko is average why is there so much hype around Bakayoko and not Fabinho. because everywhere u see since last season when Monoco as a team did so well there are more talks about the Mbhappes, the Silvas, the Bakayokos, the Mendys but so little about Fabinho (One case could be that I looking at the wrong places).

Mate, we cant put everything on great business ... Isn't it high time we provide solid opportunity to our youths instead of just "great business" And it is not as if we replacing potential with world class players .... End of it we just buying another potential who we dont know how will he turn up. Dont get me wrong, it is indeed good business ... but ... anyways it's frustrating

What level are u referring to, u mentioning the French League as it is one of the bet in the world ... And like i said potential which he is ...but one good season doesnt make u world class. And on the CL team of the season, doesnt that change with every season except for a few permanent players who are truly world class. Matic was the best in the PL 2 season ago and we want him gone today!!! As i said had Chalobah got the same opportunity we would had been talking about him in the breath as Bakayoko.

Well upgrading is if you go and replace a potential with a World class player ... which is understandable, that we want bankable players ... But how is it upgrading if you are replace future potentials with future potentials. That is called Stupidity!!!

State of affairs at Chelsea: We are buying a 22 yr old potential for 40 something millions while we sold off another 22 yr potential for 5m. ... And then we blame our players to remain at the Bridge.

Wanting to ask this for a long time ... I would admit i havent seen much abt Bakayoko and the little i saw i wasnt exactly impressed. So should we be excited about this signing? For what i see is we are buying a 22 yr old potential for 40 something millions while we sold off another 22 yr potential for 5m ... Is it that Bakayoko is already a world class player for which we sacrificed one of our own? Had Chalobah got similar opportunity like Bakayoko maybe we would had been talking abt him in the same breath as Bakayoko. It is damn confusing and frustration !!!

Seriously!!! How is the board not to be blamed in this situation. They let go of Lukaku and De Bruyne who clear had potential without any clause in the deal ... How could we be so dumb. Clearly for this they need to be sacked. I m not a big Lukaku fan but we could have easily made something out of these deals which could have only helped us.

So we got ourselves a younger Cahill !!!

Should we feel excited about this one? And who is he going to replace in the 11 ... What abt Christensen now?

Yes his agent played a big part in turning him into Red. But lot of ppl have mentioned that Lukaku is smart and intelligent, so if he was so much in love with Chelsea (as it has been often mentioned) why didnt he just say No to the United move. At the end of the day, agreeing or disagreeing is in the hands of the player, right! And he chose to go to United. The interview pretty much sums up the attitude that he played with load of ppl into thinking that he will be at the Bridge. He is nothing more than a opportunist which is not wrong on his part ... lot of us got emotionally attached to what he showcased and wanted him to be part of us ... And that turned out to be Bazinga!!! moment

For me he doesnt ... maybe I very much used to seeing a physical player take the striker role ... Yes he has scored buckets of goals but somehow I dont see him do the same in the PL, i feel he will get bullied by the defenders who are more physical than in any other league or ... maybe it is just my one dimensional thought. P.S. I would love to be proven wrong on such matters though

As per me I do agree that he doesnt fit the bill for the striker role however he can be a good fit in the Pedro/Willian role. Hazard- Striker ??? -Aubaeyang

Now that would be a brilliant move ... will easily over-shadow the first 2 pointers

We should just take the 75m which we offered to Everton, add another 25m to it and offer it to Daniel Levy for Kane.

Will rephrase it: Madrid favorites to exploit Chelsea on Morata

Not Sarcasm ... was the right thing that the club did so that these useless rumors doesnt have any bearing on the player while they try to mend their relationship with him (if it has spoiled like the BS going around)

Nicely done, Bayern ... Guess now it is end of story for all who are looking to spread rumours.

I heard those rumors too of he not being happy ... But honestly that wouldnt lead to he asking out, And if he did then he is seriously Balotelli level crazy. He plays for one of the elite clubs in the world, leads the line, is among the elite players ... Has everything going for him. Only place he would want to go from there would be a Real Madrid or Barca which is not happening ... Just the usual media BS.

hahahahaha ... Goes to show that there is not much traction happening in the market!!!

Somewhere in the middle of the sea, hope Conte is looking at the list and saying - Damn you, Hazard!!! And is already texting Emenalo, Maria and Roman on the status of the new signings ...

I believe one of the reason of playing Rashford other than Zlatan's injury is also down to the people in the board and United has a strong presence of ex United people who would want to have certain tradition going for them. That could be the reason why Rashford got game time instead of Martial. Feel it is more of a forced thing rather than Jose wanting to develop ... like someone mention above they are looking to get the likes of Morata and Belloti despite having Rashford and Martial.

People will attack anyone who will talk out of sense which is exactly what you post suggests. Why would u want to keep Kante on the bench who has not only been our best player but the best in the league. I m not going to degrade Matic but it doesnt make any sense to play Matic over Kante. And playing Nainggolan & Matic together, the best option would be to play the 3 men midfield which will be Matic - Kante - Nainggolan with Nainggolan being the free roam and the attacking outlet for us.

I got that (the psychology piece) ... I just wanted to end this because I feel we were drifting big time ... And my view on things are different than others and then it doesnt become a debate but more of an argument. So not being sarcastic at all ... Peace P.S. I would love to indulge in the psychology talks because u get to learn a lot but my view on football and psychology is more from a business preservative where money takes precedent over everything. Maybe one day, would love to hear your thoughts ...

For enlightening me and the feedback

Thanks, Mate!!!
