Sky Germany also now reporting it. @Blue-in-me-Veins I don't see anything in your post?

Maybe Happy and N'Golo can get one going. But we gotta send one up to the footballing gods to let us have a new CB and FB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xPetrCechx 13,571 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Just sign a proper LB now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 This is good news. At worst it means that Aina will be our back up fullback this season, at best it means we are going to buy a top LB to replace Iva in our starting XI. I was one of the first and still am one of the most vocal critics of Ivanovic as a fullback, but Baba was never the answer. The best we can hope for now is him having a great season in the Bundesliga so we don't lose money if/when we sell him.

Melanicus 5,208 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 We're already short on full backs so what's the point in loaning him out? Unless we sign someone new of course... xPetrCechx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I just hope IF we buy a fullback it's a LEFT BACK. So Azpi can go back on the right. mccg and xPetrCechx 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, this loan made that less likely because we are now A LOT more likely to sign a new fullback. xPetrCechx, Belgiannutt, FabHazard and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essien19 1,415 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Club bought him for millions now he's off for half a million for a year. Don't think it's good business, hope Conte was the one who made the call. I wouldn't have loaned him...

Stats 7,142 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 So he is having a medical at Schalke now with a view to a season long loan. Now, I now he did not exactly catch everyone's eye but I think this is stupid from our POV. He is our only natural attacking fullback. Unless we have a replacement in store, this bemuses me but Chelsea being Chelsea, shouldn't really. He is only 22 and was in a very poor team last season but you could see last season that he was very good offensively and I am surprised Conte did not want to work with him this season as I genuinely believe he could have improved him. Seriously, if this means we are going to keep seeing Azpi at LB, I am going to do my head in. Yesterday showed how much of a bonus it is for when you actually have attacking full backs (Marcelo). Had enough of this inverse full back rubbish. Why do we pay big money for young players then when they don't perform to high standards we give up? That is why you have to work with young players and bide your time with them. This is a huge problem with the club. bethos1 and The Chels 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,909 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Please sign Jonas Hector! Perfect modern fullback. I see Liverpool are sniffing around him. We should hurry up and snatch him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't cross to save his life, i for one would have much rather Baba in the team. For me Hector is average at best and not up to the job for a club like Chelsea.
