Good decision to let him stay there. Best for his development especially with the World Cup next year. And will be interesting to see how he fares in the Champions League next season. On the other hand, it also means that we are very likely in the market for a back up goalkeeper too. Hope we can acquire a good 2nd choice keeper with experience.

Each to their own views. Agree to disagree.

Just because KPB played in that role, doesn't mean he can actually fit in there in the long term. There are other factors that made him somewhat of a success in that role. Moreover, the technical ability that you pointed out about KPB is only his shooting and yet in terms of other aspects of it, he lacks them. And the vision to pick out decisive passes is also something that he's lacking if people are gonna say play him in the No.10 role.

@We Hate Scouse, all hail Sam, the great forecaster of TC.

I doubt that is a a real quote. Likely to just be another fabricated on Twitter.

Might want to read what I said after that... Not comparing here. It's the fact that if KPB comes here, he will take up one of the midfield space which Ake can operate in. Having him for CAM will just be nonsensical as well when we've got options there already. It's about him taking unnecessary place in the squad when others can fill in. Different people made different opinions. Don't go all categorizing everyone into one group. So, we are suddenly buying players because they can score the odd screamers and all that? Still doesn't take away the fact his main assets are his stamina and pace. As for your point that he excelled in the No.10 behind Ibrahimovic and Robinho, he didn't exactly achieve that on his own merit. It helps when you have someone like Ibrahimovic upfront doing most of the damage and making him look good. KPB is by no means an out-and-out No.10.

Seriously, if we are gonna spend 15m on a player that will add nothing significant and improve our squad, would much rather see us give chances to someone like Ake.

Just because other say different things from one another, or rather say something different from you, you just jumped the gun and accused these people of not watching the player?!

Thank you for your wondrous insight. I'm sure it will benefit the discussion a lot...

Seems to be faster and smoother.

Unless a big offer comes in for him, like the 25m price mentioned previously, think it would be silly to sell him even though he hasn't been great. Ivanovic can play at both CB and RB and I would imagine that Mourinho would alternate him and Azpi in the latter position and other CBs in the middle. Selling him would be like shooting ourselves in the foot at the moment. Would need to get a new CB and a new RB. The experience is key here.

Make that 3 of us. The loading is a tad slow. Something is wrong with the server I guess.

THIS! Kevin Prince Boateng is such an average player. His game is mainly based on stamina and energy and take that out of his game, he's pretty much poor. The players we have now can provide what KPB gives and more. Will be a waste of space and a needless signing especially when he's not the type of midfielder we need!
