2018/19 Kurt Zouma

[hktoffee]

For an experienced Argentine international who has scored World Cup winners.But then every player who fails at one club is doomed to repeat.

He is utterly injury prone. He played 14 times in 2 seasons. What is the point?

We needed to draw a line on Zouma weeks ago, if we have still been chasing him it's our own fault.

He is a red card walking. His tackling technique is dangerous and out of control at least once a game.
With VAR he would be sent off regularly.

In retrospect, we wasted far too much time pursuing Zouma when he wasn't going to come

That time could have been better spent looking elsewhere

Hopefully a lesson learned

I said that weekls ago when Lampard took over and that we should move on, time wasted.

The minute Lampard said he wanted him we should have moved on to be honest. We still had plenty of time at that stage

I completely understand why the club wanted to hold onto the hope we’d be able to sign him but to not have a number of other targets lined up would be utterly ridiculous.

There’s still time for me to be proven wrong but I’ll be fuming if Rojo was that back up option.

Major cockup.

 

[Hickson9]

None of us have a clue about what has happened at any stage over the transfer window.

So many pofessional bores in here.


Regardless of what happens I cant wait to go to the match on Saturday. We have a good side and a good manager.

Up the Blues

It would be interesting to check back on the comments on here about Zouma up until about March.

I don't think they were very complimentary.

It looks like Rojo is the back up mate to be honest

Underwhelming, but it is what it is I guess

You’re right mate, I just would’ve liked three good CB’s to pick from, especially with Mina and Keane being similar styled CB’s.

Holgate is decent mate, so I wouldn't worry too much on that front. Could be a break out season for him tbh

What has Holgate ever done to be warranted as decent? He's overconfident on his ability on the ball and too slight (think thats teh word) to be dominant physically.

To break into the top six we need to genuinely improve the team.

I just don’t think Rojo and Holgate is any kind of proper upgrade on Zouma and Jags.
