Ben Jacobs just said on twitter space that the fee for Ziyech will be around 10m€ and that Pulisic will rather be loaned than sold even tho Chelsea prefers a permanent deal but feel like there wont come any offers for that.

Saw Barella trending on Twitter and clicked on it hoping it was something Chelsea related but instead all the posts are about Liverpool moving for him. Man, I really hope we don’t let him go there without fighting like mad. 

Really, we should be making him our primary midfield target before Caicedo when the prices being talked about are similar.

His bicycle kick against Spurs was the highlight of our season!

us buying him was one of the low points

along with CuCu

when we buy players I vehemently say NO on, they are always disasters

Donkeykaku, Drinkwater, Pulisic and Ziyech also come to mind

his last 2 years with Napoli were up and down (I pulled him off my lists 2 years ago due to age and price)

plus the shit year with us

so

no

Koulibaly I was always concerned about his age and fitness. You could see the ability was still there  but he just was not able to play his athleticism-reliant game in PL which made him an absolute downgrade compared to Rüdiger who despite only 2 years younger is still in his prime.

Cucu was almost on a level with Lukaku, which I detailed in his thread before.  Pulisic, Ziyech and even Drinkwater I would say those were just gambles that did not pay off. Drinkwater would have been ok as squad player had he been able to just maintain his Leicester form. We just gave wages too high to shift him as his fitness went downhill. Ziyech was always a 50:50. If he were better at dribbling he might have compensated for his lack of pace like Mata did but he was just too one-dimensional. Pulisic always had the talent but was just made of glass. Don't think he would have ever become the world beater the US wanted him to be but without the injuries he surely would have at least reached consistent international class.

 

On a side note, happy for Kepa to tie the knot. Apparently his self-confidence is very reliant on his private life, so hopefully this makes him come back stronger next season. Granted, his arms wont grow any longer but if he just cuts the stupid errors he should not the main obstacle to top 4 if he just maintains the level of last season.

Absolutely agree. It puzzled me, why Chelsea would sign him. Might not have been extremely old, but he was extremely over the hill. But that said, I also never thought he was even close to warrant the hype he was receiving in serie a.
