Hence the example of Bamford. Like I said for me these are potentials and not world class players who are actually ready ... And when it comes to potentials we got ample of those in our backyard Like I said for me these are potentials and not world class players who are actually ready ... And when it comes to potentials we got ample of those in our backyard  "Bamford was on fire and Batshuayi was not heard of". My perspective is different:  Batshuayi was on fire and Bambord was never heard of. Michy was on fire with Standard de Liège in Belgium and with Marseille in France. Michy is also selected as first striker in the Belgian squad for the quarter final of the Euro championship, along with Hazard, De Bruyne, Naingolan, and the likes. Michy is more skilled and talented by far than Lukaku and we got it for half the price. But please do not estimate him on today's match. "these are potentials and not world class players who are actually ready ... And when it comes to potentials we got ample of those in our backyard" Michy is indeed not yet a world class player. He needs a world class coach to become a world class player. Conte will make it. You claim that we do have 'ample of those in our backyard". I fully disagree. Michy is outstanding. Bramfort or whatever his name and all the likes are just peanuts as compared to Michy. Recall also that there are very few top strikers available on the market. In this case, our Board made the correct decision, imo. Michy will destroy our opponents under the coaching of Conte. Best news for long.      Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the kind that will obviously give you a title push but never deliver the ultimate glory. The roll up your sleeves and forget the stars approach. It's a romantic idea but it doesn't work anymore (unless the other top teams spend the season recovering from the last season's doping.) Hopefully we actually sign a player who doesn't need to 'become' great still, and already is. Huh ? It's exactly the right idea. Chelsea are off the market for major stars. Buying players when they are not too young and inexperienced that they need nurturing and not too developed to be considered established star - which would make their price skyrocket and cut chances to buy to very slim. Here we have a player who is already good enough to trust him with many minutes but not developed enough to have star status - and according price. He has enough experience to play A LOT and develop into star while playing. Please don't tell me it's not the right formula because that was something that has given success to so many teams.

Best news for long.      I don't know as much about Batshuyai as you do so I can't be as bullish as you are about his prospects but I know that I like what I see and that what I have seen (90 minutes vs Rennes + youtube) suggests to me he is a level above Patrick Bamford, who, with or without the addition of Batshuyai, would not hold down a place in our squad in my opinion. Let's give chances to people whose skills give them a chance, let's not invest false hopes in players whose skills make further progress a challenge for them. You will of course make your own choice about it, but one thing I think we do owe our players is enough respect to at least try to get their names right.

Stingray 9,441 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Well, as a Belgian (see the bias [emoji51]), Bats is almost but very near the buy Eden and KDB was. Lets hope he flourishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando 6,585 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Between him and lukaku giving the price we made the right choice. Lukaku is too expensive and does not work well with link up plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mchy compared to Lacazete please how will you rate them Sent from my GT-I8262 using Tapatalk Lacazette faster, more explosive Michy stronger, better finisher and at hold-up play. None of them are much involved in the build up. The belgian is definitely more suited to the PL than frenchman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
