Seems like such a West Ham signing.

Where did you order this from?

Won't be Tuchel, the new Arsenal Sporting/Technical Director and him can't stand each other, Tuchel forced him out of Dortmund. Carlo Ancelotti has been wanting a London based job for a while. Although, Wenger seems to hint at Patrick Viera being ready.

Caulkin has said we are looking at loans now. So much for breaking records!

"Whether Luiz is good enough". He'd be the best player we've had in about 15 years What? He's certainly good enough for us, more than good enough. But is he f*** anything like the best player we'd have had for the last 15 years, what a massive load of s***. Who's been better? Luiz was probably in the top ten best players in the league last season In a dominant side that walked the league aye, he's always been a classy but flawed defender. As a defender he'd be one of the best we've had for years, but the best player overall that we've had in 15 years?, nah I don't agree. I would say Colo at his best is one of the best players we've had in the last 15 years and Luiz is above that. Again, who's been better? IMO him and Coloccini are quite similar, I prefer Coloccini in his prime but I admit that might be bias. Woodgate was probably the best defender I've seen at the club in the last 15 years though . Anyway like I said we aren't talking just defenders, we've had better players on our books over the last 15 years than Luiz. That's not to say I wouldn't be very happy to see him here. Only in that they both have massive hair and are South American. I liked Coloccini, but Luiz is a different class altogether, ignore the media nonsense about playstation defending/mistakes, he's outrageously good, sometimes seems as if he's too talented to be a central defender, when he's focused he's a beast.

I watched Kenedy last night, and asked my mate, a Chelsea Season ticket holder, what is he meant to be, he was awful, seeemd to lack discipline and very unlike a Rafa player. Seems very raw so maybe Rafa can put him on the right path. Went from one extreme to the other, would hoof the ball one moment and then tried a rainbow flick in the opposition box which ended with him on the ground, a failed elastico moments later in the box, then a wild John Smith style 'have it' up in the air, odd player. Still, seems we are trying to act quickly which is positive, hopefully Kenedy rediscovers his form from his earliest Chelsea appearances when he looked a prospect.

Was encouraged by his performance, always wanted the ball, and never afraid to receive it in tight situations. The people slating him, need to understand he is a 21 year making his first full start in a new league, a league widely accepted to be the most physical and hard to compete in. It seems if a player doesn't instantly shine in their first appearance for us then they are shit, yet top-level Premier League players such as Vidic, Evra, Pires, to name a few off the top of my head took months and months to settle to the demands of the League. He clearly has real potential, loved that he always wanted the ball, and was composed and calm when he had it, and it was good to see our players were happy to give him the ball in tight spots and had trust in him. Given some time to settle into and understand the league, I think we have a real player on our hands. There was a hint of a stronger & more athletic Huga Viana about his game. Anyway, thought he looked pretty decent given the circumstances, played with a maturity beyond his years, positive and plenty to build on.

Awful. Rest In peace Cheik.

Yes, used to play from the right of three often in the Chelsea youth side.

Ok. But Spurs will pay us. Nobody else. That's not transferring moneys owed. However its financed - Spurs are paying Newcastle £30m for Moussa Sissoko. And for all the wrong Ashley, Carr and co have done, this one piece of their work is genius.

I like him, his decision making has been a bit off the last couple of games but he's still young, inexperienced and pretty raw, no better teacher than Rafa. Got a canny leap on him too, wins a fair amount of aerial battles, one yesterday he seemed to hang in the air for an age.

Decent first season. After his ridiculous sending off at Swansea, never looked like he wanted to be here. Liked him but he won't be missed.

No. Thanks Not so long ago he was considered one of the best young prospects in Europe. Porto & Roma were both credited with a strong interest in him. Whilst he is still very raw and runs like he is carrying a piano on his back, he still has lots of potential, and you can't realistically see someone who not long ago was thought of so highly throughout Europe wanting to stay and scrap in the Championship. One of those two sides could afford him, Russian or Ukranian sides could easily afford him and probably offer Champions League football too, he certainly won't be short of suitors or offers. Him and Perez are pretty much the only two players in our squad i care about and would love him to stay, just seems very unlikely.

No.

The shitty, pointless step over he does when running with the ball. No change of direction, no drop of the shoulder, just a stupid step over thrown in for no reason. F**k off with that.

Mitro responding to the cheers when he scored in an empty net at half time, and then proceeded to keep smashing the ball into the net milking the cheers before throwing his arms in the air and cracking up was the only other highlight in a shower of shite.

Surely before any bid is made for Lacazette we would have spoken to his agent/people to establish if he would be interested in joining? Knowing upfront he wouldn't want to come to us, we wouldn't then make a bid. Either his agent trying to force a move elsewhere and name dropping us or more bullshit from us so we can claim to have tried but failed to get it over the line.

Agree with you, three weeks ago he wouldn't have made nearly as many people's top ten. Iniesta should be in every single list.

He's bang average, bang average at everything and not great at anything, he should be a squad player that comes in when others are injured/suspended. And the thing that drives me mental is his Scott Parker pirouette that slows everything down.

Totally agree, when i arrived at Leicester and saw the team, i was disgusted. How could you even begin to think Jonas & Taylor in the centre of a Premier League midfield is the answer. And it's the message it sends to players like Abeid & Anita as well, if they are watching those two playing ahead of them, their motivation and confidence must be at an all time low. Selecting Taylor as a set piece expert is hardly a logical answer either, he hasn't delivered a decent set piece in months!

Said on Talksport that he put Abeid on to play as a number 4 but he was charging forward, it was unprofessional, that he had words with him, young lads are learning their trade but it's not good enough blah blah blah.

Same as me. Only one I listen to these days is the Tuesday Club. ...they only talk about Arsenal though, don't they? Yes, but even if you don't like Arsenal, and i don't, it's a good listen. Alan Davies is funny and knowledgable.

This. Support was superb.

Just no point to him, when he wins the ball, he then gives it straight away, simply no relationship between the ball and his feet. Dreadful.
