Vesper 30,224 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Now that this is 99% a done, I am going to stop bashing the deal, especially as it is a loan with no obligation to buy. I truly hope he comes good, dog knows he need him to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluephoenix 1,131 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 The problem is we are always using the duck tape approach to our seasons! But that doesn't seem to be changing any time soon, it has been happening for a long time and my best guess is it is going to continue this way.

Mate I'm not being funny but our arsehole falls out with the slightest amount of pressure. We've just got past sides who are truly shocking. There's every possibility we could finish outside top 4. Utd are now starting to play and looking half decent in the little I've watched. Arsenal are very similar to us ATM but could still see them going on a run. Need those goals to come asap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc_blue 265 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Sure beats 75m for Wilson. Hopefully he can get on the same page as the rest of the team quickly and just give us that impetus we've been lacking up front the past month or two. That should allow us to consolidate a top 4 finish which I thought was the main priority going into the season. Anything beyond that is great but that's really all I want or need from this deal. Things will look much differently in the summer with CL football next fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Drogba was wanted by Mourinho back in the day, Scolari bought Quaresma, Diego Costa was also wanted by Mourinho, and even Morata himself was wanted by Conte (Morata even said he moved to Chelsea because Conte wanted him since the Italian was at charge in Juventus).

"He was a great player but looks below his best of late. “He hasn't pulled up trees for a while and now he's coming to the hardest league in the world. "He won't have any time to adapt either as he needs to hit the ground running as Chelsea need someone to play as their focal point. "I'd rather someone that has played in the Premier League before and knows what this league demands." My concerns also...Sarri has nobody to blame if this goes pete tong If Merson is right then this argument should have prevented clubs signing Van Nistelrooy, Van Persie, Aguero, Suarez, Drogba, Bergkamp and so many more. As with so much else that Merson says, this is simplistic, and stupid, nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a 'cursed number shirt' is for the weak minded. Telling you now someone like cr7 or Ibra was here on number 9 there would be no issue.

Blue Armour 4,448 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Maybe...just maybe, he could bring us back into the title race. Sigh...I keep daydreaming about a Rohirrim like charge from us, towards the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
