Interesting if Conte can improve him defencely as he is quite average,but I do like him very much going forward reminds me of Babayaro

I used to like the Babayaro and Makele dance. 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

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.

From the other side it can be Iva-Azpi in season :)

That worst-case scenario probably entails another season of Ivanovic though. Damn it. If only The Individual hadn't sold Filipe...

That was the case before this loan. If anything, this loan made that less likely because we are now A LOT more likely to sign a new fullback.

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...

I have the same train of thought. Seems like bad business on the club's part to try and cut our loss when It's a problem position.

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.
