Astroblack Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 We should go all out for Loftus-Cheek who I don’t think has a future at Chelsea. Starting on the bench and in starting in the cups is different to getting first team games for them. I think Chelsea would and will buy someone to start ahead of him rather than start giving him 1st team starts. I’d love him here, just the kind of box to box player we need. Him and Longstaff would be great together IMO. Ohh that would be lovely. Loftus Cheek has done really well this year despite not getting that many minutes. 10 goals. He probably averages 20 minutes a game in the Premier League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 He'll be one of the best CMs in the league and be a big part of the England team for years to come if he stays fit. Imagine next year will be his proper breakout season for Chelsea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Not so sure like. He’s evidently very good but he’s not bossing any position in particular and flits in and out of games. More than likely as a result of not playing anywhere near enough in his career to date. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 His stats for this season are actually pretty good, considering he's only really been starting for a couple months now. 6 goals in 29 app, over 1 in 2 when you consider minutes played. 4 in 11 in Europe too. All from CM. Did well at Palace the season before as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than likely as a result of not playing anywhere near enough in his career to date. His role as a box to box player, his inexperience and irregular minutes on the pitch dictate this. I’d rather have a player who isn’t on it so to speak 70-80% of the time if whatever time they are on it they score, create or do something that the team lacks and others benefit from for 20-30% of the time. Think Robert or even HBA. RLC under Rafa would excel. By all accounts we had him lined up on loan and could have had him in an outright purchase for less than 20m. Rafa wanted him, Kennedy and Abraham who would have cost us less than Kyle Walker, 3 young gifted and black lads with power. Of the 3, RLC is by far the player we would benefit having the most and the likeliest to come good under Rafa. Alongside Longstaff, again, he’d be great IMO. I’d happily see us splash 50m on him and Abraham. Kennedy would be a worry even at 5m. LRC even at 25m + would be good value for money, goals, power and drive, youth and potential and a rarity right now, a box to box player who has the qualities to adapt to another role or develop into a different type of player. Hayden with goals, dynamism, ball carrying skills and physical stature not measured by a tackle or by running around. He’s wasted at Chelsea! I rate him highly indeed.

DJ_NUFC Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Knew the first response would be to the black lads with power comment This board is so predictable at times. Almost as predictable as someone rolling out the old "power," "athleticism" and other adjectives reserved seemingly only for black players I don't have a problem with it, it's just something one should at the very least remark on, as it's happened on this forum since the dawn of its existence. I mean, HTT's post was great without him or the reader having to even think about the players' race until he randomly mentioned it Again, I love HTT, but nothing wrong with remarking on it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate End Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Looks like Lee Charnley has missed the boat on getting Andreas Samaris for free he has just signed a new contract for “€1.5million a year”.

He had refused to extend with Benfica for months because they wouldn’t give him the “€1.5million per year” he was asking for. Seemed a very presentable situation for a Premier League club. I’m just glad Wolves didn’t get him he would have been absolutely fantastic alongside Moutinho and Neves in their midfield Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
