He puts in a 9/10 performance almost every game. How lucky were we to buy him for the price of a pack of gum in today's market?

Yeah he definitely seems a bit confused and too timid at times. No worries, he's gaining confidence and will adapt eventually. He will come good, you can see the potential.

Imagine once he fully adjusts and improves. It is a good sign that he's putting up numbers while not being exactly world class. He can only get better.

Has Morata always been so good at heading? Absolute beast. And how many times have we seen this combination with Azpi overlapping and putting in a pinpoint cross?

Courtois Azpi - Luiz - Rüdiger Moses - Fabregas - Kante - Alonso Willian - Morata - Pedro Hazard, Bakayoko and Zappacosta to be introduced in 2nd half once we're winning, and we will win 3-1 or smth like that.

Any word on how Chels voted?

I can't see Lampard anywhere.

“For me, let’s be honest and objective. The last three Premier League champions — Chelsea with Mourinho, Leicester with [Claudio] Ranieri, Chelsea with [Antonio] Conte — which of these teams was the most offensive one?” he said. “Which played more quality football? It was mine. But nobody says.” "Let's be honest and objective." The man thinks his subjective opinion is the absolute truth. Conte's team was the most entertaining hands down, Mou's team was entertaining only for the first few months but fell off in the second part. Leicester, while deadly efficient, were not playing some joga bonito.

...'cause they ain't us.

Why would we need him?

State of things, nothing to do. Better than playing Kenedy.

Or simply revert to 4 at the back with Azpi playing LB. We now have the personnel to play 4 at the back.

I like how somebody here said that Alonso is the biggest loser of this window - he will now have to bend over and play 7486463 games. He should send Marina a gift basket for consolidating his place.

It's funny that the board are prepared to pay over value for someone like Drinkwater, but choke when need to throw a few more quid on actual class players. Backwards logic.

His name came up only hours before deadline. He was a panic option, but that's only my opinion, you don't need to agree. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Yeah but the Spanish window closes tonight, so there's time.

Let's play Kante-Drinkwater pivot straight away just to piss Leicester off

Marina needs to go ASAP. She has been embarrassing the club for years now. At first when she took over everything seemed okay with that Fabregas/Costa window, but ever since she hasn't been up to it. It's like something has happened behind the scenes so clubs and players refuse to deal with us. Kenyon and Gourlay got their fair share of stick back in the day, but I would take either of them back in a heartbeat.

Doesn't matter, still a panic buy. Hopefully turns out good like Marcos and Luiz have. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Classic panic buy, don't know this guy at all, but hopefully he's an improvement on Moses.

Square pegs in round holes. This club is confused to the core.

No bids tabled? Didn't sky themselves report our penny pinching bids? Whatever the case, shit's pathetic and depressing. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Embarrassing. This useless board must go. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

I see a lot of feelings have been hurt here due to people not being able to agree on who is world class and who isn't. Remember, the term "world class" doesn't have a set definition, everybody defines it as they see fit. Opinions being like assholes and all that applies here, so chill.

Just give him a chance. I'm not a fan of this signing either, but it is what it is and he deserves a chance before being bashed.
