No you havent.

Why would Chelsea buy him and loan him out for 2 years and then sell him?

Waits for someone to say Lukaku

Isn't that exactly what they did with Lukaku?

I'm sure i read somewhere that Chelsea had a staggering 27 players out on loans during the last season including youngsters.

If that is true it's a bit ridiculous really. Cash rich clubs stock piling any kid who can kick a ball. That's what Greg Dykes wonderful report should be looking into stopping.

I imagine it was part of the whopping lukaku price. A sweetener if you like

Am I being negative to wonder how many times he actually got the cross in on the first half of that video?

he's too fast - there's never anyone to cross to.

Sign him up!

But seriously we could get del back for a week to show him how to delay a pass.

Or just not pass at all.

thing about Del is - he's got the perfect solo gol going through his mind all the time. I don't really know if Bobby managed to make him into a better team player - so we should try with someone else.

If the guy is very fast and can shoot im in.

Would be good to have another kanchelskis type.

Thought exactly the same....a lot of running and jinking with no end result.

This is my thoughts on him really, I loved what he could do, I was more often than not frustrated by what he did do.

looks ok from the vid , his end product from wide areas seems very poor as all the clips stop after he has got into a decent crossing position, not for me anyway.

Deulofeu's crossing was similarly pish poor, the notion a winger's job is to run up and down the touchline pinging crosses in is terribly outdated. The modern day winger is more about cutting inside and joining in with the strikers, this lad looks good at that
