That would be a fair i think, 200 mill is a good price for him. He proved he is a good professional, if Real can afford him and we don't make it to the UCL. Still if he stays at the club beyond next season i don't think he will have a chance of a big move at 29.

We lost four and drew one in our last five at Newcastle, hopefully on Sunday the bad strike comes to an end. 0-2 for the Mighty Blues

Agreed however think Sarri needs two seasons minimum to provide results. Saying that i doubt he will be given that much time.

----------------------------Arrizabalaga----------------------------- Dave----------------Rudiger----------Christensen---------Alonso ---------------------------Jorginho--------------------------------- -------------------Kante--------------Kova?i?---------------------- Pedro----------------------Morata---------------------Hazard---- However i think Luiz will be in the starting line up.

Probably our most attacking style in years, so yes agree we should have a real go at them. I'd go for a 0-2 win for us.

I said he could replace Luiz, could easily switch with Rudi depending on what Sarri finds best

Alonso has an eye for an goal, and is decent in the attacking department, if he could tighten his defense it would be very good for us. Saying that i think his pairing with Luiz leaves us extremely open, perhaps we should give Christensen or Cahill a go.

Boogey ground for the past years, however we haven't faced them this early in the season for a long time. Newcastle looks very poor overall, Sarri attacked every team we played against so if we perform attacking wise like in our last two we could easily get the points.

Strange game really, opened it up in style scored two fast goals with some dominant control. The in the second part of the first half disaster strikes we concede two and it could have been a few more easily. In the second much better we were far more composed and got the winner with Cech really having a good day saving a lot of chances. If we can tighten up the back four we could play some exciting football. Mateo had a excellent debut, he was very much involved in the attack and in the defense looking forward to see more of him. Eden again a good cameo from the bench, similar to the one against Huddersfield. Overall as Sarri said time will be needed but we can be very excited by the footy we have been watching at some points in the game.

Such a lovely and humble person, you can see that money and fame doesn't have to change a man. Think some sources claimed he was on 120.000, but even if he had 300k he justifies it by his 100% commitment and desire to do well in every game. His consistency is also impressive, i struggle to recall a bad game from him really. Hope he can adapt his his new more forward role, and also i hope he remains with us for a long time.

Allied (2016) 7/10

If you think his moves were acceptable good for you, but no right to call myself a Chelsea fan? Hilarious.

Unlike that c**t Thibaut, he turned up to training as a professional. He could have easily forced the club to sell him over the summer. I am not his biggest fan, but he was under some heavy defending managers. This will be a ideal chance for him to shine and score/assist much more. Looking forward to see Sarri set him free.

Overall i am pleased with the squad, it has quality and we have options coming from the bench. Perhaps we are a bit short on goal scorers as stated in the posts above, but finally our midfield can provide goals as well.

Last three home league games against Arsenal were two wins and a draw, while Arsenal hasn't beaten us at the Bridge since the 2011. Win on Saturday would really boost our season C'mon you mighty blues!

Think currently Rudiger is our best center back he works alright with Luiz (or will work eventually). Luiz is good with the ball at his feet which isn't a quality that Christensen possess. However with the amount of players we currently have we can heavily rotate during a long season. What i mind about Luiz is that he has his moments of insanity where he makes sunday league mistakes which eventually lead to the opposition team having a dangerous chance or us conceding. Sarri will use him and Rudiger until one of them has a terrible game then Andreas will again get his chance.

Just as i quoted enigma, didn't say he would be a bench player. His addition gives us depth, he could easily start with Kante and Jorginho. However now we have him, Jorginho, Kante, Drinkwate, Ruben and Cesc which is excellent for a long season.

I didn't say he would be on the bench, i said he would add depth. Meaning we would have Jorginho, Kante, Barkley, Ruben, Cesc, Drinkwater and him to rotate.

Felt Michy would be ideal for Sarri with his fast paced football, as he adjusted perfectly at Dortmund. Hoped he would stay but i think he will do so well in Valencia and in the La Liga. Like him a lot and wish him well for next season.

In my opinion had one bad game against Roma away, but mostly excellent very strong, dominant in the air and has a lot of pace for a center back. Think he and Luiz could compliment each other, with obviously Cahill and Christensen there to jump in.

Wasn't too bad against Huddersfield, i think the new formation and the new system will suit him better. Hopefully he starts banging them in and his confidence will be back in no time.

Hopefully he stays and gets play time as we have plenty of games this season for every player to get play time. I would be disappointed to see him being loaned put again, just like i was devastated when we sold Chalobah and Ake.

Good option for depth, if he eventually fits in and gets a starting spot i think we will be looking to buy him next summer.

Went for N'Golo but overall a excellent team performance.

I hope we could manage a top four spot, if not we could use our wild card and go all out on the Europa League to snatch a trophy plus a spot. 1. Liverpool 2. Manchester City 3. Manchester United 4. Chelsea 5. Tottenham 6. Arsenal
