Mufassir08 2,400 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Sorta love him a bit already or I guess respect him for his desire to move to us after the rejections of Lukaku, Danilo, Ox, Barkley and Llorrente. Best of luck Danny! Blusan Alamb and jabj24 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 The fee around £35m. Basically we swap Matic with Drinkwater. Time will tell did we make a mistake or not. Welcome to Chelsea, Danny D. Dimitr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! OhForAGreavsie 6,072 Posted September 1, 2017 Popular Post! Share Posted September 1, 2017 Very pleased with this deal. A firm upgrade over Matic & Mikel in my opinion. Fully expect his contributions to be a pleasant surprise for Chelsea fans who are not yet convinced about this transfer. Before Nemanja fell out of favour with a sizeable section of Chelsea fans, I made a critical comment about him, in response to which one poster challenged me to name a better player in that role anywhere in Europe. I replied that I could name a dozen just in England. Danny D was one of those I had in mind. Welcome and good luck Danny. Hope this move pays off for you; on and off the pitch.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Welcome Danny. I think he is going to be useful additon and depth option to our squad, nevermind being english. However his quality, it says alot Leicester was looking for improvement over him for two years now in Silva. He is decent player, nothing more. I dont expect him to do anything beside basic, but he is reliable and used to PL, so he will hold his ground hopefuly. Still kudos for choosing us and accepting side role. But 35m pounds for a player thats neither already great nor has potential, IMO way too much. Yes english and all, but keep in mind City bought Delph for 8m two years ago for basicaly same reasons. Transfer makes sense, Danny is alright player, but that fee...plain awful. We put restrictions on basicaly every transfer these past few years, yet we have no problem forking 35m on Drinkwater.

robsblubot 3,595 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 wonder how much influence Kante had in this deal; talking to both the player and the club. And of course the club prob expecting to benefit from the chemistry between the players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alabama 1,992 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Danilo Lukaku and Llorente never rejected us....only Barkley and Ox did... Dimitr and Last Sicarius 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superblue 6,372 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I think he'll become someone Conte trusts a lot. We only have to see over the last couple of days that it seems Ox and Barkley haven't got the stomach to fight for a place at the champions but he's shown the right mentality to back himself to come here and make an impact. Of course you need options on the bench like a Barkley who can change a game that you're not winning but you also need players that can help see a game out and his Premier league experience with that to boot will make him an important option throughout the season. People mock Cahill at times but despite any faults or flaws he's played a big part in a lot of trophies won and has obviously stepped up since at bolton. Hopefully drinkwater can do the same and kick on further with the move here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideshow Luiz 2,310 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Adds much needed depth in CM. Anyone saying that we didn't strengthen the squad is crazy: Bakayoko + Drinkwater >>>>> Matic + Chalobah However, selling Matic for 40M then buying Drinkwater for 35M doesn't make a ton of sense. Not much money earned through sales, not sure what the difference in wages is. Seems like a lot of work for basically the same.

It's funny that the board are prepared to pay over value for someone like Drinkwater, but choke when need to throw a few more quid on actual class players. Backwards logic.
