One other thing is that he'll allow us to switch to a proper 4-3-3 if we want to, we couldn't previously as Doucoure couldn't be trusted in his own half and none of our other CMs could be trusted in the opposition's.
Do you genuinely think Garner is a better player?! That baffles me
I'm also convinced you haven't watched any of KDH, got a great work ethic and does a lot of pressing in the final third
Signing a team of 21 year olds when you're trying to move from finishing 17th to mid table doesn't work
Absolutely crucial that we sign players who are in their prime as well as players with room to grow
Really don’t get the hate for this one. Looks a decent player every time I’ve seen him, comfortable on the ball, eye for a pass, work rate.
Are we really slating him for not being a regular starter in the most bloated squad in football with 2 x...
We’re not done yet. I’m hopeful more of that to come, so we end up with a flexible range of midfield /attacking options, allowing for different formations etc.
It’s the hope that’s kill you though…
Maresca wouldn't have brought him to Chelsea if he wasn't talented, he just had so many players to choose from he couldn't justify a spot for him. I think this could be a excellent piece of business being realistic about where we are as a club...
