Benoît Badiashile joins Chelsea

[All Barco no bite]

Agree. Can’t imagine there a queue of takers for KK though

China can have him for @20m

 

[Zeta]

China don't buy players for big money any more. It's Qatar.

 

[ChumpX]

I thought Koulibaly was huge, this guy is a freaking fridge.

Physically - err yes! Defensively? hell no!

 

[axman2526]

Would be really great if this is the first time @BordeauxBlueis ever wrong.

Though if he is that upsets the balance of....every....thing....

 

[ozboy]

What I most liked  was how fast he moved the bal forward. Simple, quick and effective. 

 

[Sconnie Blue]

Early days but like what I see. 

 

[enigma]

2nd game in PL and already looks more assured than Koulibaly. 

 

[dkw]

Excellent again, it's likely that his signing will go under the radar as all the young attackers take the headlines but he could turn out to be the best one.

 

[PloKoon13]

Looks solid. Composed on the ball, physically imposing and good awareness of space. I don't think it's a coincidence that we've looked more structurally sound (and kept two clean sheets) in the two games since he signed.

 

[PhilH930]

Hard to fault. Again to me it’s is positional play, awareness and concentration that really stands out. his pace, strength, height and technical ability all just add to that. 

Solid performance and can’t ask for more - keep going lad!

It’s absolutely no coincidence we have kept two clean sheet since he’s partnered Silva as soon as KK comes back in I suspect that will change.

CB's always go under the radar but this guy looks like a good signing, can't see Koulibaly getting close to the starting 11 again.

He’s what we thought Koulibaly would be!

 

[charierre]

Looks a decent acquisition. Solid defensively, has to improve with his distribution.

Looks a decent acquisition. Solid defensively, has to improve with his distribution.

I don’t know, I think his distribution has been quite solid so far. One or two passes were off today but he’s always looking for the line breaking pass.

 

[Dubair]

Looks quite solid and composed, should of scored but another good performance.

 

[El regreso]

Looks a decent acquisition. Solid defensively, has to improve with his distribution.

He’s 21 his passing is actually good but his first job is stopping goals and so far he’s excelling at that.

His passing will get better

 

[El regreso]

 

[big blue]

Looks a decent acquisition. Solid defensively, has to improve with his distribution.

I think his passing has been one if his best aspects, tough today with how little space there was in midfield, but he plays some nice passes into the front players, and over the top, and his composure is fantastic for 21.

Pleasantly surprised so far.

 

[Zeta]

Erratic and crap on the ball.

Big lump good in the air and (too) physical. 

Not got enough brains for the highest level imo
