Interesting that even with the ban we do this. Zappa’s a good player.

He really isn't. He was a car crash of a full back or wing back or whatever position he was asked to play. Defensively he was caught out of position more than the French military and when getting forward there was more chance of his crosses hitting a seagull than a Chelsea player. I'm glad to see him punted.

There was certainly more chance they’d hit the back of the net than a Chelsea player. If only he could play against FC Carrierbag every week. 

 
Another 6 month loan deal, like Drinkwater's. 

Can't help thinking that's a strategic choice by Chelsea. 

Give the young players like Mount and James half the season to prove themselves but then you've got the contingency of bringing backed more experienced players if need be. 

If the young players do well, then the club can either extend the loans or negotiate a permanent move away from the club.

Yep, and it seems a good way to deal with things I feel.

We have gotten rid of a lot of deadwood this window anyway, there are still quite a few on loan and a few which I have no clue what they're doing (the likes of Hector, Piazon?) but on the whole its a move in the right direction.

i think the 6 month loan deal is due to the new loan restrictions starting in the summer. We didnt manage to get them out on a permanent this summer, but it means we can try again in january. 

 
Don't think we will miss him, Sarri didn't rate him either but couldn't get rid of him, at least Lampard ( or whoever is doing the deal ) are doing something right this season.

 
Good luck to him - seemed like a decent enough bloke and player, but if we are going to promote youth, we don't really need an experienced pro as a back up.

I think it will take a lot for Lamps to replace Azpi so expect James may get his chance mainly in cups.

Agreed, extend those healthy Mediterranean eyebrows inwards by an inch and you could be forgiven for mistaking him for Bosingwa. 

 
Sadly Zappacosta tore his ACL in training last month.

It's unlikely he will play again this season.

 
that transfer window is still costing us..we brought backs ups for potential squad players... Zappa, Emerson, (barkley - almost), DD

 
Gone out on loan to Genoa
