Thank god we bought him instead of Van Der Wiel who everyone seemed to love.

I saw far more posters not wanthing vdw than posters wanting him.

 

On Azpi, its really nice to not have constant referrals to 'chelsea's problems at right back'.

Emanelo I suspect. Say what you want about the guy but he's made some great signings for us.

Barring Torres, our transfer policy has been very good in the last 3 years. Young and ready to prove themselves. The squad is at a ripe age now for a few years of dominance, hopefully.

Azpi will be a feature for many years. Very reassuring knowing that the right back situation looks to be solved.

Sorry i didn't necessarily mean this forum just other forums and YouTube comments from Chelsea fans.

Also looking forward to see how Wallace does in Pre-season, could be more competition for Azpi though i expect a loan for Wallace.

Got to be a real bargain - best RB we have had in a long long time

Will only improve me thinks

Couldn't agree more. Solid at the back and a good decision maker. Knows when to come forward and when not to. Great signing.

Needs to improve his attacking play though.

Needs to get the more into the mixer. All too often disappointed with his crossing. 

Called up to the Spanish squad - nice one!

well he's our best crosser of the ball by far and one of the best in the league

French journalist said he would eat a rat if Azpi ever made the Spain squad, here's the vid of him having a mouth full of humble...rat?

Why didn't he rate Azpi?

Coz he's a FOOL I tells ya!

Why didn't he rate Azpi?

He was pretty average in his debut season at Marseille, although I would put that down to his injury.

This. As much as I like him, if he could improve his crossing he could be the best in the league IMO.

A good read.

While our attackers get all the plaudits, let's not forget this man. He's been in such good form, kept his head down while he was out of favor early in the season, and took his chance when it finally came usurping Ash of his left back spot.

 

Definitely the best left and right back in the league this season.

You cant forget Azpi he's too good.Still rather see him at RB but LB is fine for now.

One of my favourite players.

 

Tie him down for the next 5 years. Extremely underrated. Must make Spain squad.

Surely his versatility means that he does. I would expect him to start at right back ahead of Carvajal or Arbeloa.

I unfortunately don't think he will.

I think he makes the Spanish squad, JM will probably see to it he does.

He has made a believer out of me, first year and a bit I wasn't impressed but he has relegated Ashley cole to the bench since- quite the accomplishment if you ask me

Such a fantastic player. Really enjoy watching him play. As does the wife, for less footballing reasons...

Although like mentioned above, I'd much rather see him on RB lets not forget that Ivan made that spot his and he too is in great form recently

My son said exactly this yesterday. I went through all the others and there has been noone better. It's pathetic how the press think José has 'frozen out' Ashley Cole when all he is doing is picking players in form. Azpi's form has been phenomenal since he got his chance.

an absolute bargain signing, kudos to whoever got him to chelsea.

He is in great form, just wish we could use him more as RB, because the last two games he played there he provided an assist.
