Michy Batshuayi

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

An absolute masterclass by our board! First in quite a while too!

Instead of going in with small increments and getting turned down at every opportunity, they let another team (tots or Palace?) set the price before going in and scooping him up. 

You can bet your house on the fact that had we gone in earlier the price would've been 40m

Mate, your English is fine ... Chill. 

I know Batshuayi was great in a league which is equivalent to our Championship sides ... Going by that, Bamford had a great season himself while he was at Middlesborg ... So isnt he ready as well !!!

All I m saying we try to glorify players who have a decent to good season else where and they become "ready" while our own are treated as "still not ready" ... Batshuayi might go on to become the best but for me he isnt different than Traore in terms of potential and surely not better than Costa (minus the theatrics) 

Falcao, Pato and Remy are off.

So we have 3 strikers for 2 positions.

And Ligue 1 is far better than Championship. What the crap is that ?

League 1 "is equivalent to our Championship sides"? I doubt that.

Batshuayi's statistics is impressed me (and coach). So I (and coach) think he is ready. It's really as simple as that. Traore, Abraham or any potential players show good statistics, games, they are ready. But now they not.

New ScoutNation video just went up. His dribbling, close control, and finishing are superb. Even more impressive when you consider his age.

 

I've seen all his videos, he has a very good first touch and ball control and I like the fact that he attacks crosses in the box, willian's crosses might find him a lot compared to our other players. But I've not seen how good he is with shots from outside the box, can he provide a threat from outside the box when westbrom park the bus???

My gosh! his technique is exquisite!

I don't see the Drogba comparisons at all (I mean other than a Marseille striker coming to Chelsea) if I were to give him a ceiling I'd say its more like Aguero. Low centre of gravity, excellent finisher, powerful legs, explosive quicks, great technique!

Has so must potential, just that he lacks awareness (offside a lot), can lose his temper/focus easily and is pretty selfish, but under the right manager he can easily improve in all of these aspects. I'm very excited.

Sounds like he's young?

And yes I do feel he is better than Morata. We got this 100% right.

We still can sign both?

Or 1 more striker...

Oh I agree but 60m for Morata is a gross overpayment. If there is any player we should overpay for this window its Bonucci for me.

Ligue is crap ... thats what crap it is ... 

I never said that who is going off ... I was suggesting that we get excited about potential from outside and fail to acknowledge the one we already have.
