Tbh I don't think any of the big clubs have particularly Stellar squads at this moment. I think our biggest hindrance will be the goals of for some reason the likes of Costa or Hazard drop form/injury/toys out of pram etc. Batshuay has looked good but we re only a few games in. He has impressed me with how he has seemed to slip nicely into the team.snd English football so far though. I think we should be battling for a top 3-4 finish.

Totally agree. We won't know how he fits in till hes given a run of games. Not all players are an absolute world beater from 17 to 35, a team/squad needs your consistent squad players to fill the gap amongst the 'stars' From the vague bits in remember he was half decent when last in the country and may well have developed and improved.

For me it's a proper yay. He s a good player who can play several positions. Judging on yesterday's posts I'm in the minority though.

Haha. It comes from his Arsenal days when the whole Barca transfer saga was happening for a few summers in the trot. I never bought it his loyalty of not specifically asking to leave but somehow always found himself in situation s such as the time his Spanish teammates 'forced" him to wear a barca shirt and pose got a photo. No not for me No doubting his talent just not a fan of him personally.

Your bit about him drifting to the left is spot in. He often seems to drift out there and then doesn't really either have the trickery or the explosiveness of acceleration to do anything of note. Plus misses the chance to be on the end of any balls which is his primary function!

I've never liked Fabergas as a person I've always found incredibly smarmy. But he's an incredibly gifted player and think we re a lot better off with him than without, especially seeing as we don't have a particularly deeps squad atm..

Was never lucky enough to see Dixon in his pomp due to me born around then!. Would ve loved to have seen Chelsea, him and The Bridge back in yhe 80s. I've read many a thing about him most notably in "Celery Representative Chelsea in the 80s" seemed like he was a proper out and out player who did the business over a prolonged period. Hope he gets back on his feet and wish him all the best

We desperately need personality and leaders in the team. He s the type of player that brings a team closer with his personality. I know he s prone to the odd heads gone moment but he s also capable of some proper magic. Tbh he was a personal favourite of mine along with Ivanovic and Davey A.

That's a very good point. Does have tjat ability to rise to an occasion..scored the odd important goal as well

Tbh I always liked Luiz. I think he s a good footballer maybe not as an out SNF outbread and butter centre half but I think he's a good player plus a good personality to have in a team. Its all bollocks anyway so we re all wasting our time!

Let's just hope its onwards and upwards rather than start as I mean to go on with regards to the typos! Thanks for the welcome

Cheers Coco. I've already made a typo on my first post! And in my sleepy haze have put a different username than I intended!
