quickpassnmove 924 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Kessie or Verratti? Both sound great to me. Give this manager what he wants. I want him to stay for a long time. BoyBlue96 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,944 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Just comparing him on YouTube with Bakayoko who we were linked with last week and I think Bakayoko looks easily superior. Sideshow Luiz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone would dispute that. Bakayoko is over two years older though, and this is his fourth season in Ligue 1. They are also different types of players. Both he and Kessie seem like interesting prospects, but both seem to not be very intelligent players from the information I have gathered. If that is the case, I would rather choose the one that is a beast in the defense rather than the one that is expected to be a bit more offensive (i.e go for Bakayoko). the wes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekin 835 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/dec/28/franck-kessie-chelsea-bid-rejected We have bid 21m pounds for Kessie and been rejected according to Guardian (they are very reliable). Seems like there is some real interest from us. Atalanta wants 34m, I guess that if we go for him the final price will be somewhere in the middle at 28m. His agent is due to meet up with Chelsea next week. Amusing again how a few games can change things. Apparently he had agreed to join Sunderland in August but couldnt get a work permit, which isnt an issue any longer. I mean the clearly is very strong and dynamic. That is already good, but I do hope that he will develop his offensive side a bit more. People on reddit say he remidns them of Yaya, but I do not see it yet.

Fernando 6,585 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 He looks a lo older then 20.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,944 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Also going to AFCoN this coming month so if we did sign him we wouldn't be able to use him any time soon. We'd have to wait about a month for the tournament to be over and then even longer than that for him to get up to speed with the squad.

lucio 5,418 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 maybe if he was born aged 15 years old, he could be 20 dosen't look special on youtube, wouldn't play him over chalobah based on the videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekin 835 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Personally I think he looks 20. His eyes are very young. Still, I would prefer if we looked at Keita rather than Kessie. Similar age, but one has been amazing in Bundesliga and in Austria before. Still, I doubt we know better than the scouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unionjack 7,531 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Theres been 5 or 6 that we have been linked with mostly and each one of them seem good. Apart from being able to tempt one to join us the hardest decision is which one would fit into the team the best. I just hope that its Conte making the decision. quickpassnmove 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoyBlue96 990 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Bakayoko and Kessie are basically the same type of players. If he wants to play for Mourinhochester United so badly then get Bakayoko. Problem solved. Blue Colored Sky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wes 7,212 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Kessie has scored more goals than any other Atalanta player in Serie A this season (6) despite being a central midfielder, while he isn’t one to shirk his defensive duties, completing 1.4 tackles and 1.1 interceptions per game.
