Even then there's always a ouija board.

Fair enough. Just an interesting choice of words. 
I'd like to think Redan and Tammy will eventually get a chance but who knows, I won't get my hopes up.
Like you I'm not convinced by Higuain either but at this stage I'm not sure what else we can do.

What better replacement for David Luiz than the German David Luiz? 

Just because I posted that Antifa shout everyone down i’m a racist?
 
get a grip mate

I don't like Antifa either and think if they are covering their faces they should be arrested.

Watched a few of his speeches on YouTube.
Funny how the antifa mob and lots of SJWs are more facist than the people they call fascists. If you aren’t antifa and hiding your face behind a mask you are shouted down or attacked.

Let's not forget how he tore apart Atletico's defence all game too. Was a nightmare for Godin all night long. Short-term memory is a funny but popular thing with some fans, it seems.

Waved goodbye to Arsenal fans according to Arsenal Fan TV. What were they doing fielding him today anyway? If he got injured all the deals would collapse, they are such f**king numpties.

Think you hit the zero key by accident.  Club was mid-table about 2 seasons ago.

Hazard, Courtois, Costa and Fabregas are top class players. They were key players in our two latest title wins. We wouldn't have come close to winning those titles without them. Now Costa's gone, Fabregas is getting on a bit and Hazard with Courtois may not be around too much longer. 
The squad is regressing because few years ago it had the likes of Terry and Cole at the back, Lampard in the middle and Drogba upfront. It had a core of top class players, real leaders on the pitch who were big game performers and a solid squad filled with very good players. Now we have one world class star in Hazard, maybe Kante is somewhere close to that level and a world class keeper. That's about it.
Here's a good point from Twitter
J. Tweedie‏ @JoeTweedie
'Lampard's point about Ballack signing for #CFC has gone under the radar. It pushed him to be better & demand more from himself. Who are we signing that is putting that sort of pressure on first choice players? On their worst day, half the team sleepwalk into their starting roles.'
You need to sign top talent to push other players. If there's no real competition for places, the team regeresses. It doesn't mean you have to spend insane amounts of money all the time, but you need to spend big on occasion.

I was promised Crouch and Barnes.
This is an outrage!
 
Actually happy with Giroud - very underrated player. 

He's been here for like 5 months, he has 10 goals in 20 games, relax.
Just because he's having a bad patch people forget how good he was for the rest of the season, this is the same player who tore the United defence a new arse.

Absolutely inevitable Arnautović would get linked with us. Wouldn't be the worst signing but I'm now almost 100 per cent convinced the media is just making half of these stories up. I predicted he would be next and wouldn't you know it, a couple of hours later, we were 'in' for him!

Maybe SplishSploosh got a job working for the media 

Who was that guy who always made up topics about these kind of players? Splishsploosh? Or something? Turns out he was right.

That's just social media in general, it's cancerous. Forums are so much better to talk about sport, you get more maturity and better standards than a wide-open platform like Twitter or Facebook. 

I hate them because if the roles reversed I guarantee they would have no sympathy for you.

Saw this elsewhere...
 
Danny Drinkwater is not good enough.... FACT - 10 midfielders who are all better:
1. Daniele Bere-acqua 
2. Daniel Getränkwasser
3. Danilo Beberagua
4. Dong Hē-Shuǐ
5. Danislav Picèvodavic
6. Dzknijcel Pijwodęski
7. Danny Drikvandsen
8. Danyal Al-Shurbma
9. Daniel Muomi
And even the Indian...
10. Dhoni Paanipien
Well... Maybe not him. :)
 
 
(Made me laugh a bit anyway.)
 

Not really misused, rather unused but I'm going for Schürrle. Still think his failure to run with Milner for Lamps' equaliser at the Etihad (2014-15) ended his career, albeit harshly as he had just scored minutes earlier. I reckon Mourinho either never forgave or trusted him again...and he was off in January. He just seemed to never play as much after that. Shame because the missus loved him and we had just started dating that season.
 
Anyway, back on topic: I would say Mikel probably was misused. Agree with wallosh that he basically sacrificed his career to play the deeper role with us. Kalou, Sturridge, Meireles, Diarra, Geremi could also fit that category. The likes of Fàbregas, Essien, Azpilicueta, Ballack, while all may have been technically misused, all played/play as if every position was natural to them.

If we target Arkadiusz Milik and Danny Drinkwater, we'd be close to making a cup of tea.
