he is a left-footed RWer as well, and can even play CF in a pinch

So why buy Ziyech? 
 

Silly season rumor without a doubt.

Maybe Lampard consider Ziyech as a RW and RLC as a B2B, that leaves only Barkley and Mount for AM.

Why did we buy Ziyech when we are allegedly after Havertz? Both operate the same role.

I don't believe the Havertz rumor one bit but he is versatile enough to play in different positions and given Lampard likes to change formation, it would make sense that he wants players that can play in at least 2-3 positions in the team. 

[Blues Forever 1,232]

Yes, Havertz is very versatile capable playing several positions from no. 10, no. 8 , RW, or even False 9.

Honigstein and Johnson are very reliable though.

Sorry, what I meant to say is, I don't believe we would actually go for him. We may be interested but I don't think we will actually buy him. 

And besides, they didn't say we are negotiating with Leverkusen for him, just interested (aka Monitoring FC).

That's true.

Versatility also allows a smaller squad and as a consequence a more happy one.

That's why I look forward to Gallagher's return, he played in literally every midfield position for Charlton and strikes me as the type of player that could play literally any outfield position to a high standard.

becuase we are losing both our RWers

and it's a bonus that both Ziyech and Havertz can play AMF as well.

simple

I do not see anyone asking why buy Sancho

and he is not a even a hybrid

If we are upgrading Willian/Pedro to Ziyech/Havertz then expectations will be high next season. 
 

I also don’t find anything simple in spending over 100 million on a player that is similar to what we already have in Ziyech, when a LB, ST, and CB are needed.

The lad looks very ordinary to me. Can't believe, or perhaps just don't want to believe, we are considering this.

Exactly, I also don't understand the obsession with Rice.
