Figures.. they still have the champions league to play for, they would be fools to sell now. Story over. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

You know, a choice between Alonso and Sandro could be the difference if we bomb out or not. This Barca team is not the GOAT team of 10 years ago, we are just as likely to win now as we were back then. Hold your own at Camp Nou and anything can happen at Stamford Bridge.

Must read imo. Gives great insight into his personality, which could be a reason as to why he's still not quite there yet. Seems like a guy who needs a good man manager, which Conte is. (Would be absolutely destroyed by a Mourinho tho). But i don't like how there is so much fuss over this transfer, it now puts more pressure on him and in the light of that article I'm worried how he'll handle it. Hopefully his first few games won't be disasters so he can start growing in confidence immediately. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Tbh @Leif did, the club should hire him. Shambles...

40 million, guys This sort of money could revive the economy of a small country ffs.

^ For a player who is credited for being a good goalscorer from midfield, he sure has few goals and assists. Or maybe I'm just spoilt having seen our greatest ever player, Lampard, smash such numbers per season.

Do you know what an out and out dive is? You go down without contact, the likes of Ronaldo and Neymar are masters at that. Bellerin didn't get the ball, his foot was high and he kicked Eden's shin(?). He added some theatrics to the fall, but that isn't a dive when in principal it is a foul. If he had somehow managed to keep his balance, you can bet the ref wouldn't have given anything, when in reality the pen should have been given in spite of him falling or staying up. That's why players sometimes overreact, Gary Neville explained it well. WAS a foul, NOT a dive... even experts in sky studios agreed with that including an ex-referee.

Isn't he a winger and Coutinho central? Not a like-for-like replacement.

Why would they even need him when they have Salah and Mane? He'd be on the bench. Given the chance think he'd prefer us, reunion with Kante and Drinksy and more game time. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Haz got the kick during the game? Might be the reason for being taken off then. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

It was said he's fully recovered afaik. Just needs to work on fitness now. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Even though some may not be in favour of this signing, we have to give credit to the club. Scouted and identified target for some years, and we went on and got our long-term target. In a wise way also, didn't sign a handicap for 30mill in the summer, instead waited and paid peanuts to beat the competition to it. Getting him on a free would have been harder imo, and he can help us in the remaining season too. It is a good start to the window from at least the club's point of view. Now we have time to move to others hopefully. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Savage! He said what most of us are thinking. Especially Mourinho at the end, he went away but continues to look and comment about us, he is the new voyeur. Wenger is just being Wenger, with selective memory and vision trying to influence referees, thinking he's the new Sir Alex of the EPL.

I would play Luiz purely because Bakayoko is a liability defensively, but I agree with the rest. Ideally of course neither of them would come close to our midfield. Would rather play Azpi in midfield, he is intelligent enough, has better vision and ball-playing skills than both, but he's far too important in our defence to move him away.

You sure about that?

If nobody suitable is available, then don't sign for the sake of signing. We'll be stuck with horseshit for years like this if we do. Just make due with Morata and Bats and the occasional false 9.

Now I'm worried, you are often correct with your assessments.

Wooden-legged hoof-ball typecast, can't play flowing technical football with (players like) him. Relegation/mid-table level signing would that be. Would prefer a backup striker in the mould of Jesus of City, Morata is good in the air as is. Only thing going for him is being English, if he was from a foreign no-name club you can bet we wouldn't even look at him. Would be a very underwhelming signing.

CM or AM, the only options really.

We will know depending on how much game time he will get.

Best case is him retiring here as a club legend.

Confirmed? Don't think he has yet. Caballero Christensen - Luiz - Rüdi Zap - Drinkwater - Fabregas - Kenedy Willian - Bats - Pedro

Same here. Tarnishing his legacy. In a way that's good, we're finally rid of his "ghost", but it still saddens me that he's such an asshole... absolutely loved the guy as a kid during and after his 1st stint.

The only clown I see is that washed up has-been, I think everyone will understand who I'm talking about without naming.
