Filling my car up now waiting to drive the donkey there my self.

[Special Juan 27,455]

Right decision if he's allowed to go, just a terrible player.

Too physical isn't the problem, not technical enough is the problem.

We're not even talking the need to be Jorginho standard on the ball. Kante isn't the most technical player on the ball and his other strengths such as pressing, winning the ball, etc are far more important all round for the team, but at least he can control the ball and pass to a more than competent level.

I watch Bakayoko and I don't understand how a professional player, playing at the very highest level, can be so inept on the ball.

"Too physical" is just the nice way of saying "Can't stop or pass a football".

ok so I'm going to just say it: Ramires had batter technique and better passing esp considering how quick he was. 

Considering how slow Bakayoko is, his technique is even more glaringly lacking.

The player is not culpable; our staff is (esp scouts). He's such a poor player that he may still be a liability as a backup. He needs to go... just not good enough as a backup and blocks more promising younger players.

Can't say anything else without turning into insult, and the player is not culpable; our staff is (esp scouts).

Yup.  Mikel is better too.

I'm serious.

It pains me to admit it, but you might be right.

If we had Mikel instead of Bakayoko last season do we finish in the top 4?

not sure it would've been enough - mikel was still a very simple player (in my view way too limited for a team like CHelsea).

I was going to turn into jose mourinho and compare players with red wine (instead of eggs), but decided not to. 

Does it make a difference if you hand over the ball via a brain fart vs the inaptitude of making a simple pass vs being immobile (and easily skipped past)?

Mikel is Cahill while Bakayoko is David Luiz. OK maybe Bakayoko is the worst of Cahill and DL?

Well, I'm a big fan of David Luiz, so that analogy isn't going to work with me

haha I don't dislike DL, and think his technique is absolutely incredible. Pretty physical too, so definitely an interesting player.

Just don't think he's mentally fit to be a great CB (again we are talking about 'great' here).

I honestly think DL might have become a fucking great CM (not even DM) had he moved into midfield and applied himself. The skill and physicality were all there.

I think he's going to be good this year.  His positioning won't be so much of an issue when we have the ball 65% of the time.

heh hope so.

Still would rather have had David Luiz in midfield against Belgium than fucking Fernandinho (choke) or chinese Paulinho against Belgium....

that's over and now we are back to real football... with fucking bakayoko

I think Bakayoko will be gone, with Vecino in.  But from what I've read, it's the same.
