I still don't understand why Atletico let one of the their main players on loan 😂
Welcome
Solid summer to us - from Haaland to Lukaku and Saul .
9/10 Window .
Saúl had more shots on target last season than Kanté, Jorginho & Kovačić combined.
He gives Chelsea another dimension in midfield with his late runs at the top of the box. Gives other teams something different to worry about. Solid addition in midfield.
Chelsea set to sign Saul Niguez with a loan deal from Atletico Madrid agreed after breakthrough in negotiations, with plenty of time left for deal to complete before tonight's deadline
anyway I don't think a new expensive defender should be taken at any cost in the presence of Rudiger, Christensen, Thiago Silva , Azpiluceta and Chalobah .
it would certainly be a bonus, but not necessarily as a central striker and maybe midfielder
Chelsea's Saul offer rejected
Chelsea look likely to miss out on a deal for Atletico Madrid's Saul Niguez, reports Sky Italia.
The Blues submitted an official loan offer for the 26-year-old midfielder, but it fell below the La Liga champions' expectations.
Saul has fallen out of favour under Diego Simeone and has been offered to several Premier League clubs.
Kounde is clear our player
but I don't think it would be a bad idea one more midfielder who can score goals cuz only with Kante/Jorginho and only Kovacic like reserve will not happen all season.
I think Lukaku was bought to score goals against teams that we will have problems with when they park the bus like Wolves ,Villa , West Ham , Brighton .
If he scores 15+ goals in these games i will be ok with that even if he dont score in these ''big games'' .
We know which matches win the titles and which simply satisfy the ego
Lukaku won't have many games harder than this and he did a great job.
Held the ball up well despite being isolated, created one half-chance and even got away a couple of decent shots.
