In literally every skill set you can identify Drogba was miles better than Costa IMO. As an all round player there isn't even a comparison to make.

It would be a complete waste of RLC`s talent to play him there, and even though he sort of played that at youth he was much more of a box to box type player who didnt really play as a DM, or at least not the usual holding sitting deep type.

I dont see it.

You know what... I think he's earned a spot in the squad. I was happy to sell him before, but in all honesty he's more than fine as a decent squad player

Wish him well. Always liked him. POTY for me this season.

If it were a straight choice I would definitely keep Barkley over Jorginho. Offers so much more.

Juventus looking to replace Sarri already, makes you think it’s a good job he left.
I’ve never liked his football, it was really dull and I much prefer Lampard’s style, even though the defending is awful.

They did very well to eventually finish 3rd despite the first half of the season but they were also helped by Leicester's epic collapse, Chelsea's inconsistencies and Spurs decline which caused them to switch managers. Sheffield Utd and Wolves simply didn't have the squads to truly challenge for the top 4
You are right, teams shouldn't be solely judged on transfers but Utd spent almost 200 million on 3 first team players and 1 squad option. Not many teams in the League can afford to do that and big improvements should have been made from last season
Utd should have comfortably finished 3rd, OGS had already been at Utd for 6 months before this season so had plenty of time to prepare. They barely scrapped getting into the top 4 and had the exact same points total as last season. 
For me OGS has been pretty average overall at Utd and doesn't warrant a nomination for manager of the year

Agree with all of that.
I don't think Kovacic is as good as some make out, but then he isn't as bad as others make out. He hasn't had a bad season but he hasn't had a great season. I'm not saying he is average but I think as @evissy says, Kovacic is good at everything without being exceptional. Maybe he can kick=on again next season - I hope so.
Where i get concerned with Kovacic was highlighted in the Cup Final. Some players just make time and space on the ball - players like Pirlo, Gullit, Toure. Kovacic tries to do that but he holds onto the ball far too long at times and invites trouble. I'm always a nervous wreck watching him as although he can dribble like Hazard at times, he always looks likely to lose the ball and he's usually in our own half when he does it. He was wrongly sent off for the second yellow but he picked up the first yellow by holding onto the ball for far too long, then running into trouble and losing the ball and having to make a foul. These things do happen but seem to happen to Kovacic more than anyone and I'm sure Lamps will be having a word about it.
 
 

Sarri getting the sack is a disaster. Means we're likely stuck with him for another year. 

Zouma is miles better than Christensen.

Sadly I think you are right CB. Zouma is the only one I would keep. He has his limitations but his physical presence, pace, aerial ability and his total commitment is something we need from more of our defenders. 

I have no concerns in regard to RJ, 20 years old, first season in the Premiership and playing in a dodgy defence
He's showed his quality at times this season and has also been inconsistent which is exactly what should be expected from a young player. He'll get better and better as the years go on. 

I disagree, I think he has been our best defender since lockdown. He got done today by Aubameyang, and he has to hold up his hand today but I think he made a lot of progress. In a more organised defence I think he could do well with us. I actually think he'll likely make the France team for Euro2021. Underrated here in my view.

Has been by far our best Centre Back Post Lockdown, if we are looking to bring in a new CB Zouma has to partner them
Reports have been saying that we are looking to offload Zouma, I would be pretty annoyed if we kept Christensen and sold Zouma

Zouma is miles better than Christensen.

Thought Zouma had a good game period. The 2nd goal came from Bellerin running unchallenged through the middle of our midfield.

I hope We can win this for Dave and Pulisic.

Great start but that has evaporated and Arsenal were in control for the last 15 and we were hanging on.
Poor Azpi had a torrid time so Christensen coming on doesn't really hurt us but we need to get hold of that midfield. Think Kante HAS to come on and then expect more fresh legs early in the second half.
COME ON CHELSEA!!!

Kovacic and Jorginho constantly passing to our back 3 is a massive problem. Put your foot on the ball and look forward for f**k sake!
