He's home

great news

Some interesting data

From The Athletic: De Zerbi said Steele is better suited to his precise style of building from the back than Sanchez. “The head coach’s game plan hinges on luring the opposition forward to play around their press, with his goalkeeper a key trigger. “Steele’s decision-making and intelligence with the ball at his feet give him an edge over Sanchez. “The 25-year-old Spain international is not poor in possession, but Steele, 32, is more consistent, particularly when playing shorter passes in tighter spaces. At times, Sanchez looked rushed when playing out from the back, resulting in misplaced passes and turnovers. “With opponents to combat his style in different ways, De Zerbi’s goalkeeper cannot afford to be a one-trick pony.” Isn't ball distribution a very important quality for Pochettino and in modern football in general? We certainly seem to think it's super important when it comes to CB's (see Badiashile, Disasi). I'm confused and not totally sold on this one. Unless it's cheap and back up of course, which it might well be...

It's been confirmed by The Athletic as well. Really surprising, don't know what to make of this move. Apparently our GK coach (who came from Brighton with Potter) Is a big fan and believes he can make him better.

propably done deal. Might be a back up player at Chelsea seeing we have no players in this position..let' see

I really think he offers something unique to this team, both offensively and deffensively. I hope he stays.

Better with the final ball? Granted Sterling rarely gets it right lately but Noni hardly produced a serious chance. There is a reason he ended the U-21 Euros without a single assist. Noni is a great dribbler and a fast player but in this area he's got a lot of work to do. Angelo Gabriel looks far more composed and precise with his passing. But it' s only been 2 games so we'll see.

Too late , mate

In my opinion he looked promising when he played, just very raw. He could be a good dribbler, fast I'm happy about this loan

Good. I hope Ian can impress. Tuchel would never (unfortunately cause he's a great tactician)

Interesting that Mount wasn't even invited

Looks like the goalkeeper kit will be all black
