Christian Atsu

[marty mcfly]

Chelsea dont care about us taking points off them, they care about us taking points off the other 5 clubs at "the top".

Exactly because Jose doesn't think we can finish above them and Atsu won't be able to play against him.

Given Chelsea's team he's right but we're closer to them now than in the last decade.

 

[marty mcfly]

Just heard Darren Lewis on Talksport, said he had loads of interest after the world cup, wanted to go somewhere where he was guaranteed to play, so must be considered immediate first XI.

Andy Jacobs didn't see the logic in Chelsea keep making Everton stronger, wondered why Chelsea happy to let him go to a team who should be one of the 7 teams fighting for the top 4 spots. Some recognition off a journo for once!

Noooooooo.

Get the word out that we're [Poor language removed] everyone. We're attempting a sneak assault on the title

And im a BIG fan of the Aids, reckon hes gonna be a player this season.

Deulofeu was 19 when he came here with very little to no first team experience

Atsu is 22, been playing first team football for 3 years and has 30 caps

Deulofeu might be more talented and end up twice the player Atsu will ever be, but a 22 years old Atsu for us should/will be better than a 19 years old Deulofeu was

 

[BBleck]

Not worried about who is starting on the left wing, there will be plenty of games to go around for the wingers this season

 

[AaronTheBlue]

Mcgeady will be the second best winger at the club this season. Just behind Kev.

Easily better than Atsu. And tbh i feel he'll be better than pienaar too.

 

[Hellerad]

Atsu suspect on defense? Just stack Baines, Oviedo, and Garbutt behind Atsu and have McCarthy cover the rest of the midfield by himself.

Europa league team:

Hibbert Stones Alcaraz Oviedo

------Besic Gibson

McGeady Naismith Atsu

----------Kone​

Nooo

Why do people assume well drop all our first 11 for this competition? It's a route in to the champions league for Christ's sake.

 

[Azza]

how is this obvious?

Because Pienaar is done. If he wasnt then we wouldn't be loaning a kid from Chelsea to cover.

 

[Paulie]

I don't get why people are saying he won't be a guaranteed starter? We will play a lot of games this season and Martinez likes to rotate, especially his attacking players. So Osman, Barkley, Pienaar, Mirallas, McGeady and Atsu (if he signs) will all play a lot of games. That's not even taking into consideration injuries.

Okay what I mean is tha's our 2nd team, basically.

Also that team's more than capable of beating your FC Stornikoveleinenovs in the group stage.

It's a squad game. One coming in doesn't mean the end of the other. Particularly in that area you need options.

Okay but even then I don't think Martinez would change the entire defence. Two of four at the most I'd imagine. Save any messing about for the league cup I say. That's the worthless one for me.

Yeah Europa team and league team should be the same, play second string in FA cup and League cup!
