Now Matt starts every game, and I honestly don't think Lihue 1 is that much better than mls. If the bid for this dude was 12 and not 3 people would be more hyped. The MLS is comparable to the English Championship. They aren't a patch on any major league in Europe. An experienced Nigerian international can't land a place on the bench at the Bridge hence there is no logical reason why this MLS fellow would be able to do so.

Now Matt starts every game, Now you're just clutching at straws. 45 starts in 64 matches shouldn't be overlooked and that amount is impressive especially when you consider Zouma was only 18-20 years old then. Miazga wasn't even starting consistently for NY Red Bulls till 2015, when he was 20. 6 hours ago, Polo7 said: I honestly don't think Lihue 1 is that much better than mls. Really? The competition in Ligue 1 might be weak but it still has better infrastructure, setup, managers and most certainly players. So many times over the years clubs have raided Ligue 1 for players and many of them have turned out to be good. How many clubs in the major leagues around Europe have actually bought players from the MLS? 6 hours ago, Polo7 said: If the bid for this dude was 12 and not 3 people would be more hyped. That's nonsense. If we are spending 12m on Miazga, people would be raging at the club, not feeling hyped about the player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Hiddink on Miazga... http://www.getwestlondon.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/chelsea-press-conference-live-alexandre-10807724 We’re not rushing but he will be one of the squad members for the future. Young guy, stepping up to the national team. You can see what players are capable of in training. Pato, it’s good to have him on loan so you can see what he can bring. He (Miazga) is a promising player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signing crooked strikers on loan and unknown, cheap players no one has ever heard of? Are we becoming a stingy, bargain basement club like Arsenal have been over the past decade? yes, we are. even worse, the gooners can finish 4th, play CL.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 January 2014: Matic Summer 2014: Fabregas, Costa, Felipe Luis January 2015: Cuadrado Summer 2014: Begovic, Falcao, Djilobodji, Hector, Pedro January 2015: Pato, Miazga The fucking state of it. You can sort of cross the Cuadrado one off as he is a decent player but clearly not cut out for PL football. We'll get most of the fee back for him. But the rest (Begovic the only exception), since Luis - laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like impostors have taken over the club and the original fellas have been kidnapped and thrown onto a deserted island. So many baffling decisions and moments in one year. The only positive thing I would say about the Pato and Miazga deals is that (1) we got the former on loan and (2) we're getting the latter with a 'low risk, high reward' thinking in mind. Have nothing much to lose there especially when we cannot buy anyone better in January. However, if we continue this trend in the summer, then hell is going to break loose.
