Great business. Got him for free, we will get at least 20m maybe more for him after recent good games.

Get him the fuck off the team. He more than likely fucked up our CL already.

Quite a contrast within 3 last posts in this thread.

Or one seasons wages for Lukaku.

I mean he is not terrible

has had 2 torrid games last fall but apart from that been ok. 
100 times better than having the lanky liability on the field

 

also sarr turned 23 yesterday, still quite young for a defender. Can surely pull off being a conservative left back and lcb. Pacey, reasonable on the ball and in the air. Should be able to improve his upper body strength 

will never be a great footballer but as a squad player for the rest of the season …Fine by me

Yeah, from a squad depth view he is a good option. I mean, I rather have him sitting about to be CB5/LB3 than have no one. 

Only issue is our academy players who could potentially also fill that position; although you're then equally at danger of restricting their development through lack of minutes.

Yeah we should not keep hold of him long term. but we will lose 2 or 3 cbs in summer and need a bit of stability there. Don’t mind him staying till 2023. He ultimately is not good enough to block a place for a really talented youngster but I currently don’t see who that would be yet. Esp not at lb

What academy players could fill his position though realistically? Mbuyamba? Hall (although he played out of position in that game)? And even then, the development point you’ve made is also spot on as well as asking if these guys could really cut it against higher level opposition if required.

Sarr may not be exceptional but he’s aged 23 and has over 150 professional games under his belt. Bigger concerns than Sarr.

Colwill. However, Colwill riding the bench until a number of injuries isn't great.

I still have a feeling Dave will re-sign late and one of AC/Rudi will do also. Let's see how CB plays out. Personally, I am still of the opinion that if 3atb continues James may end up there and Livra may come back. However, that'll be another 18 mouths minimum.

Yep.

Still think for Colwill, who’s only 18 I think, another loan or two on top of this one will be paramount for his development.

Another who like Broja (even with the Lukaku situation), theres absolutely no need to rush him into being a Chelsea player for the sake of it. Another 18 months minimum of regular first team football for him, as a young CB particularly, is more essential than replacing Sarr as a player who sits on the bench/plays once every 4-6 weeks.

Sarr’s still got plenty growth in him too as a player and all in all I think the more he’s played he will come on. Not expecting him to be a world beater but for another 12-18 months, a solid, dependable option.

Yeah, whilst I don't think he is turning into a world beater, he has the biggest quality you want from someone like him in that CB5 role which is commitment.

Sarr has probably been the most unexpected performer of the season.

[Vesper 27,301]

OFF OUR TEAM!!!!!

one man destruction of Blue Hope

[chelsea_4_eva 1,140]

I so stress out when he starts or comes on

I am sure he is a nice lad, but he is a poor footballer for Chelsea level

[chelsea_4_eva 1,140]

I am speechless after that performance. Sell. I'd rather an academy player.

It's a shame for us that Premier League football isn't suited to Malang. Somewhere like France or Portugal would see the best of him.
