It's disgusting that after so many years, our one and only creative CM is Fabregas. We have been constantly filling the squad with workhorses and not players who can help us going forward. With Fabregas going downhill already, who the heck are we gonna get?

We got Barkley.

He has the talent/potential but jury is still out on him.

I meant his role, basically. We have two DMs already so why sign another squad filler for £35m? Who isn’t even really offering anything more than Chalobah for example. Drinkwater was injured when we signed him too. It’s just not a great signing.  

But we played with 2 dm, certainly you need at least 3. I am not sure what happen with chalobah but at that point we really need another cm who is comfortable playing in midfield 2

So why go for Drinkwater when he doesn’t offer anything new? Just because he’s home grown? We could’ve maybe gone for someone like Wilshere as well then who was on the market at that time... I’m sure I don’t have to list the amount of CMs we could’ve bought with that £35m instead. As mentioned above on here, Matic was sold months before - they had plenty of time; a lot of it was wasted on trying to negotiate on the Drinkwater deal. He surely wasn’t/shouldn’t have been our only option. There are plenty of good CMs about who would’ve cost the same or even less.

Poor signing

Haha this guy is just perfect example why its funny when fans here overexaggerate over average players and pretend they are quality.

After his fluke goal everyone was saying he can take quality shots, literaly every shot he attempted after went miles away from target. 

What an absolute fuckup of a transfer to get this guy who is absolutely absolutely average and slow.

And we paid 40 fucking millions? Yes he is english but come on, in that case we should just throw bit more for Sterling or Shaw back in the day.

I literaly cant understand the board decisions, Sterling for 50 would be too much, but Drinkwater for 40 isnt? 

And there is a long list of players who have no place here.

I know we needed more squad depth, but now we are paying shitload for absolutely average players.

We are living in crazy times at The Bridge.

This guy really is just the midfield version of Cahill. Wow.

I really don't want to hate, I'm trying my hardest not to but seriously, how the fuck has the lad managed to wear our badge??????? 

It's a fucking pisstake.

I need to laugh otherwise I'd be crying but I once said our midfield composed with Barkley, Cesc, Drinkwater, Bakayoko is the worst in the Top 6 by far. Where is that user that was making fun of me saying I'm trolling.

I'd refrain from Barkley in the boat as Bakayoko and Drinkwater because he's had his injuries issues and may still end becoming good for us. We haven't seen much of him yet. The same can't be said about the other two...

I don't think Drinkwater did a whole lot wrong today. He's not the slick forward ball playing CM, but he is not as bad as some make him out to be

[manpe 10,861]

Our streak of lucky panic buys had to end some time...

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

Yeah.. the people who authorized the signing of Drinkwater and Baka should be relieved of all duties concerning CFC. Such an appalling CM signing. 

[Jase 43,479]

 

[manpe 10,861]

That would hopefully force the club to buy a better midfielder.
