I'm sorry, "world class"? What we are debating is whether or not he is a decent enough player to add anything to the team, even as a squad player. I don't think he is. If Conte needed an average central midfielder in the squad he could have given a chance to Pasalic who showed some glimpses at Monaco or even given another chance for MVG instead of paying 25m for someone who is not far ahead of either. I even thought that the plan was to give a chance to one of our own in Chalobah. 'Conte knows best' is not really an argument. Great that you trust him, but I'm here debate my and other members opinions and that's not an argument that's just a deflection tactic.

My 'lucky I don't fucken smack u upside the head' is what? Also, you've never said it before to say it again, you talentless and much uglier version of Ryan Lochte.

I'll say it again: In terms of ability he is our second best player behind only Hazard. We WILL badly regret pushing him out without getting a replacement of the same caliber.

Just remembered why I never click on transfer threads. Most things I read on the past couple of pages are so detached from our reality it feels like I've gone into some parallel universe! FFS, Brozovic can't get into the XI of a mid-table team in the fucking Serie A. This is the kind of signing teams like Sunderland make, not a team aiming for a top four finish!

Course they are. We are reportedly giving them 25m for a player who is not in any way remarkable. That's a lot of money in the Italian league.

I wouldn't take Icardi over Michy, let alone Diego. Handanovic is good, but obviously no where near Thibaut.

If it weren't depressing this would actually be funny. 25m? REALLY??! There is NO PLAYER at Inter who would in any shape or form improve Chelsea. They only had two decent players but they sold Kovacic to Real and Hernanez to Juventus.

Off the top of my head 6-0 vs Arsenal under Jose, 5-0 vs Bolton under AVB, and something like 8-1 vs Villa under Benitez But yeah, I know what you mean in general. It's very rare that we completely control match like we did against Burnley.

He was amazing yesterday, but as some have already pointed out, he was afforded A LOT more freedom yesterday than he has been probably since RDM. In the few times Burnley did try to attack us, Eden actually let their right fullback to run past him (to be picked up by Matic or Kante) so that when we did win the ball back he was running at the CB. Happened in his goal and happened a few other times as well. That's great to see, but I don't think we can afford to do this against better teams.

Great performance yesterday. Probably his best in a LONG while. Hope to see more of THAT, please!

If I'm not mistaken he's number 25. Not talking about what number shirt he will wear at Milan! He's the 25th player we loan out this season...

No seriously, his stats are getting ridiculous. I already lost count of the goals he's scored or assisted so far.

Throw a Hazard in there and you got a deal!

Well I certainly got a hard-on watching him today!

Even I could win the CL with 11 Kantes!

Couldn't he at least let Azpi score there?!

Anyone else starting to get annoyed with that Heaton guy in goal?

Diego has to put those away. Probably won't matter today, but those should be his bread and butter.

That was fun. We've been mostly good and Burnley have been mostly awful. Hope it continues

Regardless of how much blame Antonio himself shares in this, he will be the one to bare most of the consequences.

Didn't watch the PC but I read the quotes and I got a lot of 'Wenger' vibes from them. I hope that he and the club aren't getting their excuses in early for us failing to get top 4 this season.

Yeah, those violent Iranians clearly just want war and blood. I mean look how close they put their country to all those US military bases...

Yeah, it is partly in Iran. In fact, the word 'Hormuz' comes from Persian. Now, I'm sure you know where the united states is, which leaves the obvious question: What the fuck are their battleships doing so close to Iran? If Iranian battleships were this close to any US coast, do you think they would simply be 'harassed'?

Yes, but where is the Hormuz pass?
