who would've thunk it? This place is so much more blissful when you know just use the ignore list effectively.

Fair. I tend to read through most of this posts without really paying too much mind to it, but when it goes too mental, I know it's time to do something else. Probably all the uni work I´ve refused to do when I had the time

People also have to remember that the high fee you keep seeing is in € not £. Makes it look like we're paying a shit load when you see 27m, but it's about £23m. In the age of mega fees that's really not so much if he quickly establishes himself in the team.

Very little between the £ & € at this point in time. Only noteable in a Pogba type deal.

Don't know anything about this guy besides that youtube video. Seems lanky, lacking any real pace but physically strong and decent in the air. Im worried this is going to be another Luis and Baba v2.

For the stated price R.Rodriguez would be the better signing I feel.

i am italian  and i watch serie a so i can say he is a good player nothing more .

I think he'll fit us good and hopefully be a consistent 6/10, rather than be a 10/10 one game and a liability the other.

Proper laugh when people say that he's here for a cover. He is 3rd most expensive left-back in history, you read it right, and you want to tell me that he's here for an odd game in the cups ? Isn't it Chelsea that apparently fields the players that cost the most ? This or maybe time for some mythbusting. But 3rd most expensive player in history for his position to be a cover,  I have laugh if this is true.

Could have signed Rodriguez for an more or less equal sum, but didnt go for him. Our board seems to be completely clueless and Conte seems to know defenders only from the Serie A. Alonso is a decent player, but not Chelsea material in my opinion...

This is one of the most underwhelming transfer in recent years... I've watched Bolton when he used to play for them and I remember him being average at best. I know he may have improved over the years but I really don't think he is top 4 material.

So your only insight into the player is his time at Bolton? Players improve you know. Give the lad a chance, I know he's not a 'big signing' but he could be a decent addition to the squad and could FINALLY see us move Azpi to right back. Be positive until he's proven shit at least.

People don't seem to have a very high opinion on Rodriguez here.

Neither were Azpilicueta or Ivanovic when we signed them. 

He was very young when he played for Bolton. He was really good at Sunderland too and Sunderland fans wanted to sign him permanently. 

I am willing to keep faith in the boy.

People either hate him or love him here. Some are saying he's near world class while others are saying he's terrible, can't defend and nobody wants him.
