Remember it well sat outside the pub in the beer garden - well, it was January, the day of the takeover, my mate bursting out of the pub with his phone screaming "have you seen this?!!". Reading reports of SAF desperate to meet Berbatov from a plane, shit scared we'd hijacked his deal. And the joy goes on and on.

Does Marco Aunoutovic, staying at the hammers work for us on Monday night. I hope he rips Lovren a new one, with the news Gomez could be out for the season.

I think we need to have a go for Kante. If we are going after a defensive fella to replace Fern, let's go for a proper one.

Kante would be absolute rubbish in a Pep system. He cant pass the ball at all.

Isn't Lovren still out with a hamstring injury ?

Can't pass? Has one of the best passing ratio in the league.
He recorded 96.8% pass accuracy vs B-mouth earlier in the season. This season has a succes rate of 60.6 passes/match.

Is 60% pass succession good?!

Come on, leave it. He is really class, maybe the best player Chelsea have, after Hazard, of course.
He could really connect with our offensive players, but they will never sell him in the league.

Okay?

Where he ranks among the Chelsea players is irrelevant. I just don't think he will fit in Pep's system and would likely be a bigger waste of money than Robben was.
