Long term users of this forum would know I have been raving about this kids's talents for a good 5 years or so now. He just needs the right platform to turn into a top player. So much ability it is unreal. Never been a player I have been more impressed from in watching academy games more than him. Hope he can thrive and Conte takes notice and gives him a chance.

Boga

That is another great finish with his weaker foot. Club should not even contemplate getting rid of Bats but see him more as serious competition to compete for starting spot with Morata.

Well there is Kenedy even though we do need better quality there.

I thought Luiz pockets looked rather large.

And that is why we must keep Batshuayi here. Brilliant with his back to goal and good with either foot. Priceless. So happy for Boga who has been brilliant since coming on. He is such a talent but just needs the right platform to prove it.

The standard of officiating in these games are poor. The officials are just not up to scratch. Iwobi clearly played Fabregas on and we should be 1-0 up and I don't know if anyone watched that Bayern and Arsenal game other day, but Tolisso had a goal ruled offside which was one of the worst decisions I have ever seen. Clearly onside. Embarrassing.

I hope this is true. Was brilliant towards the end of last season and he can play numerous positions. Remember with Hazard being injured, he would be another addition to add depth to the wingers and especially as a impact player, would be brilliant. Would love if we pinched him from Arsenal for so much reasons.

Don't forget good old Boulahrouz who wore that number and was a bloody CB

When Hazard returns, the link up play between these two is going to be so exciting to watch

Hard to judge really due to calibre of teams they have been playing for. Lukaku has not lead the line for top clubs while Morata has. Next season onwards we can make those comparisons which will be a lot more fair.

Site seems to be going very smooth but please address this Jim. The 'unread' feature is very useful and still is not around.

Kante was born in France you know

He wouldn't. Alonso had a great season last season and is not simply going to be put to on the bench for almost every game. They would share duties. Especially now with us competing in the UCL too. He would start majority but not virtually every game.

I am very surprised no one has met his asking price. £30m for him is a steal in the current market today. He had one brilliant season and was poor last season but if he played with more top players, imo you would see more of the 15/16 player and he is still only 26.

He would be a guaranteed starter at City. Prob more wages too. Here he would play a lot but still rotate with Alonso. Can only see him going City.

The Chelsea youth twitter page reckons for sure that Baker is going out on loan and he seems to pretty much know everything. Baker would be best out going on loan rather than playing bit part. If he can get a move to a team like Swansea under Clement would be best move for him.

No, he is not. I rate Trippier a lot but over a whole season he wouldn't be as consistent as Walker. He might have better stats as yes Trippier is a very good crosser but Walker does not have any weaknesses really. He has brushed up on his defensive deficiencies and I am actually fearful of City next season. Walker is an excellent signing for City. Time will tell but for me they got the best RB in the league who still has years left. That was glaringly a weak spot for them last season and I can see why Pep has paid a record fee for a defender.

Walker has been quality. That's the difference. There is a reason they are always up there for less goals conceded and it is not just because of their CB. He is a big part too for their defensive and offensive quality.

How is he far batter? People mock Walker because he used to make mistakes few years back. Last 2 seasons he has been the best RB in league by far. He rarely gets beaten in any one on one situation and is powerful to cause problems offensively as well. Semedo is a good RB but Walker is proven in the Prem and is quality.

The best RB in the prem and still a good age. Good signing for City in a position they need.

If he goes United, this will hurt 10 times more than it was seeing KDB flourish post-Chelsea. I won't get over this for a while, especially as he is still only 24 ffs and can be scoring bagful of goals for a near decade. And especially more so that if the board were not so nitty picky with their dealings, he would easily be a Chelsea player by now. Furious about this. And to all teams United and Mourinho

I hope this rumour about him joining United is bullshit and it will be rubbished in the morning. I will be fuming if he goes there. Something is really up if this happens.

Maybe we did, however really unlikely as someone his calibre, it would have been reported you would think. We earned the most amount of money from our title win last season and combined with what we earn from player sales, we really should be going after big players. We have the money to and would do us a boost.

Even when Hazard was fit, it was reported during final months of the season that Sanchez was Conte's first target. That seems to have gone completely dead and you would think with the injury he has picked up, it would even make Conte and co want a player in Sanchez class even more but you don't hear about any interest from us at all. I know Arsenal would want to resist any offer form us but we could at least test the waters. I think we should definitely be after another top winger. Maybe we will as time goes on but just weird that there are no rumours so far.
