I would actually prefer Ivanovic to Baba.

Really?!

You must be in the small minority.

I would actually prefer Ivanovic to Baba, of course I'd rather neither were anywhere near the side but if presented with that Hobson's choice.......

The only reason Baba was rated in the first place was because of the desperation for Ivan to be dropped, I remember games were he stunk the place out only to come on here and see people madly raving about him.

Ultimately the only thing dropping Ivan for Baba would have changed is which flank the opposition targeted.

Baba's defensive game was poor in all honesty, but he was by far the most talented FB we had going foward. Iva shouldn't be dropped; he should be kidnapped and be left off somewhere in Italy.

Lol, off to the loan limbo never to be seen again. What a waste of money and time.

Wish the dude who keeps signing these loan deals contracts hands over to the dude who signs the SELL deals contracts ffs

Shame. We spend 2 months chasing this guy last season only to discard him next year.

He was by far the most purely talented defender we have and absolutely unmatched in terms of pressing resistance and looking for passing lanes instead of hoofing the ball. But looks like we're allergic to those traits !

I've seen enough of him to think that he can be classy player. But we're assessing him terminally after he slotted into the worst Chelsea defensive structure in the last 20 years, in the age of barely 21 and without pre-season with the club, joining the club that was already collapsing when he signed. Go figure.

Having said that, I was opposed to signing young full-back in the first place but if we did that why not stick with it longer than this nightmare 12 months for the club ?

We should really still have Filipe here. Doesn't get better than this. Now what ?

Woulfn't it be good to be able to find out who was in charge of buying him, Papy and Miazga and ask them why we bought them. And WTF we still own them.

Ive made a similar post elsewhere but nobody commented and I'm sure its not cause nobody else thinks like me

[Special Juan 27,429]

Time after time it's purchase, a few cameo roles and back out on loan, this has got to stop quick sharp. We are stock piling more and more shite and the time wasted on bringing these middle of the road players could be used on bringing in real top quality options.

Aparently Baba had a sit down with Conte and he told him that he probably wouldn't be getting much playing time under his system

Defensive?! not again for fuck sake

Wants the team to be defensive as well as offensive, but Baba isn't cutting it defensively. I reckon some of what was actually said was lost in translation.

Judging by what we have seen in pre-season so far, I doubt we will be a defensive side under Conte. Being defensive and being defensively solid are two different two things and maybe Conte was referring to the latter to Baba Rahman? Skeptical about the quotes in the article TBH.

[Unionjack 7,531]

Think maybe its his way of saving face. He couldn't come out n say 'I'm not too good'

What I am a bit suprized at is we moved him before finding a replacement
