Leif 6,006 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Any & all of the Monaco starting players would fit in well here. They're all exceptional and it's criminal that there aren't more questions and curiosity in regards to how these players were found & moulded.

the wes 7,212 Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 In the summer Bakayoko has two years left on his contract with Monaco and so far he's stalling over a new contract and I can't see Monaco let his contract run out I think if we were to put in a £40m bid I think Monaco would find it hard to reject it this summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose you mean it's criminal that there aren't many questions in the TalkChelsea forums.  Well, it has been mentioned by a number of people, but among the squad builders of Europe's top clubs, I guarantee you there are plenty of questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy with a young Yaya prototype in midfield next to Kante. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mufassir08 2,400 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 His passing range seemed really limited. Don't think he's particularly what we need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is not a player in the world that is big,strong,very good on the ball and very creative. Bakoyoko may not be very creative,but he is big,very strong,can dribble very well and is fast going forward .He is better than Matic and he would make our ply much faster,but he would still give us the defensive stability Matic gives us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakayoko is a good player but I think we need somebody more refined on the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who do you have in mind?If we really want to have a player that just is a good passer,we can put Cesc back into the starting eleven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's so good on the ball and has got a great engine on him, however, as you would expect from any young player, he is inconsistent but he has crazy potential as a box to box creative midfielder. I haven't seen a whole lot of William Carvalho but from the little I've seen, he seemed to be very assured on the ball and could pass it long and short with both feet not to mention that physically he is as good as it gets but then again, he seemed a bit slow and has consistency problems. But both of these players have decent/good defensive skills and are better on the ball than Bakayoko in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dahoud clearly lacks in height.A midfiled with both Kante and Dahoud would win us zero aerial duels.Especially in the PL,we need to win enough headers.Matic gives us the aerial presence in midfield,but Dahoud would not give us that,so I really think that Bakoyoko is the most suitable for our problems.

Dahoud has got a slight frame but he is deceptively strong and he's no midget either given that he is 177cm tall but yeah, He won't win you any headers in midfield  but the guy is so good on the ball that I think we can get away with it, that is, obviously if he keeps on developing and reaches his potential. Shades of Modric in Dahoud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nzonzi of Sevilla. Is exactly this player. He's not fabregas in creativity but I think he's better than a whole lot of DMs in creativity. We should go all out for him, guaranteed massive improvement on Matic in attack while still providing us with the steel, height and defensive positioning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Vidal is remotely close. He's the only player who's pretty fast, deceptively strong, has the height and leap to win duels and is pretty, pretty good operating the ball under pressure. Still glimmer of hope we get him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveLamp 270 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 In his defence for the second half performance, he was half fit and knackered, so I wouldn't judge him on that.  From someone who watched him week in week out he's a monster physically and definitely good enough technically.  From the Monaco team, the players that would walk into our starting line-up are: Mendy at LWB Silva at RW Bakayoko or Fabinho to partner Kanté Possibly Sidibe at RWB although he is a lot better attacking than defending (another who was barely fit on Tuesday...)

That bloke Glick looks decent too. Watched him at the Euros, solid defender, think he'd be a very good back-up to have next season. He's played in a three man defence as well for Torino.

Yeah Glik is a very solid defender and scores regularly too. Not sure he'd come to be back-up at his age though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wes 7,212 Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 Chelsea believe they are in pole position to sign Monaco’s Tiemoue Bakayoko, according to the Daily Mirror. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nono 791 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I'll be disappointed if we sign Bakayoko tbh. Out of the 4 Monaco players, he is the one I want the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
