They often stay wide and attack down the flanks. In City's and Pool's case it looks better because they are more efficient and better at attacking. Our full-backs offer little penetration and mostly just pass back to the middle, but it doesn't mean they don't offer width, they just simply are not very good at using it.

We just signed Pulisic and if Hazard stays he won't get a sniff for years to come. Willian will probably be still here and CHO will stay 3-4th choice for god knows how long.

Unfortunately that is 100% true. If he had no interest from clubs like Bayern and he'd signed a contract, he'd be treated like a commodity like all the other youngsters here. Gone on loan repeatedly, ruined his development and so on...

I will laugh at the board when there will be inevitable reports about how in trouble we are with the HG quota, brought it on themselves. Also I hope Odoi flops spectacularly if he insists on being a douche and leaves at 18 years old, greedy fucking primadonna. Oh and I despise Willian. I know it's not his fault he's playing, but fact is he is playing and he still sucks - that's his fault. Fuck that piece of shit blocking the path of our youth.

Can't agree with that at all, they are constantly wide.

Shit happens, we bought him expensively due to being a panic buy. We were always gonna sell at loss, but that's not a fact yet. Main thing is that if we do sell we get proper cover for RB. If your pessimistic prediction comes true and we are left with no one other than Azpi, then I say burn the witch... but not now, I don't think they could be this stupid. How reliable is this Il Messaggero anyway?

I don't think anything, I'm just saying that you're talking as if it will definitely happen, but since this hasn't actually happened, then the answer to your question is yes, there is doubt left.

It seems not only we are confused over his name. The lady in the beginning of the video says Pulisik, Howard later says Pulisič so not even Americans can agree on his name... I'm gonna call him Pulisič then

Why is it giving credit to Sarri? He literally admitted he knew jack shit about Pulisic joining

Yes, because it hasn't happened yet.

If he has more potential, then give him the platform to fulfill it and overtake Jorginho. This kind of competition would only be healthy. One question though, if he's apparently so good, wtf's he doing in Russia?

It would be quite underwhelming if we sold Morata and then bought Callum Wilson. Have we been seriously and reliably linked to any other striker?

Did you take into consideration contract lengths and Hazard lowering his value by openly sucking Real's dick?

Well I think it's pretty obvious that it's to influence him to stay. If he kept banging on about how unready he is and yada yada, he would go to lederhosen land in a snap. Possibly a tactic from CHO's camp to pressurize the club into playing him more... if they didn't, they would be happy to pick one of the alternatives in Germany. But I believe, or rather hope, that their main intention is to get the club to acknowledge his existence more. We really have no upper hand here, we gain nothing out of letting him rot in the youths and neither does he... we are not a slave trade market to treat our offspring this way. I also noticed how RLC got a sudden surge in playing time after there were numerous reports coming from his camp that he would leave in January if he didn't play more. Very quickly Sarri started fielding him more often, now he even starts some EPL games which was unthinkable in the first few months. Now rumours over his departure have disappeared. I hope it will be the same way with CHO.

Comments to try and influence him to stay.

He isn't mentally ill He's just not interested.

One day we bash him to the ground, the next we can't praise him enough. This thread has been this way since the beginning, and so have his performances been like his character.. quite colourful. I must say his distribution has been a joy to watch and recently his defending too. When he is playing like that he is top 3 most important player on the pitch, I hope he keeps it up till the end of the season.

Why are you linking a 2 year old video of some chaps discussing how well the wing-back position suited him in Conte's system? It couldn't be less irrelevant this day. Even Sarri eventually agreed he was shit.

We could just loan him back till the end of the season.

I guess Barella would be Fab's replacement, a bench rider for Jorginho. Or could he immediately displace somebody else in our midfield?

We were saying the same thing when we were getting relegated in 2015, nothing changed. We weren't fighting for anything other than pride, this time we are fighting for top 4 so I can understand not wanting to jeopardize EPL. I personally don't consider dropping Willian as risking, rather it would help our bid for top 4 if he got benched, but I can understand Sarri's thinking and that whole experience argument and stuff. Then why was Moses ahead of CHO when he cost peanuts and is shit? He got injured afaik and lost his place, but before he was getting game time ahead of Odoi.

Prime Fab was something else when we signed him in 2014. Best passer I've seen in Chelsea. The way he whipped those long floating balls over the top accurately... I've not seen anybody do it so effortlessly. It's a shame he's fallen off, that Fabregas would bench Jorginho. I've given him some stick for some of the shit he's done or said, but all in all it doesn't erase his contribution in the last 4 years, and I must say I never thought an Arsenal legend and Barca boy would become a fan favourite, including mine.

Well damn, shots fired It says a lot when our former youth coach says this.

It would improve teamwork. At the moment we're lacking cohesion.
