Is it too early to declare thread of the year?

Loving the puns, great team effort!

 

Had his first training session today, also given his first interview to the club website where they said he conducted the entire interview in English having learned the language when he moved to Switzerland in 2012. 

Looks like Arda Turan. Hope he becomes as good as him too.

I really like this signing. I think he will definitely be up there with hazard & oscar when it comes to his potential.

Hazard is up there on his own and then there's the rest.

Because that is the Swiss first language? To be fair, Schweizerdeutsch is like the cough of a consumptive, not many foreigners will try and learn that :-)

I think he looks a sensational player, reminds me of Messi, small explosive and left footed, looks like he has T.Henry pace to burn, good foot race with Navas, can see the front three of Hazard Willian and Salah, with Oscar dropping deeper with Matic....

Gulp!!  Hope you're right!

No f**king pressure then!

Seems such an accomplished finisher too

Do you think he should be included as a sub vs Manchester City?

Not yet.

I don't think he will, Jose talked about easing him in his first few weeks but I reckon he will be a sub the next few weeks

Yes bring him on and let him rip Kolorov to pieces.

Shame he couldn't get a debut goal today, but his speed will cause defences a lot of problems. Seeing him on the right and hazard on the left will be awesome methinks.

I think it is obvious that you could put some of his debut down to nerves. I have no doubts that this guy is going to cause a hell of a lot of problems for people in a Chelsea shirt. Does he run that fast or was he taken the piss? My god lol.

lol i think he needed a piss, but didn't wanna stand still. Give him some space and he'll be in there. I am sure he'll get better at finishing. He's only 21 after all. Still got plenty time to adapt and improve.

Loved his speed and the fact that he got into those positions in the first place, shame about the finishing. More to come hopefully.

Oh! lol Now it makes sense! Well then he should hold his wee every match lol.

This guy's got some pace to burn!

Frightenin pace, I see him and Willian interchanging a lot.  I loved how Salah directed where he wanted the ball played during the attacks.  Just nervous and maybe trying too hard to score on his debut, but if he keeps this up the goals will come 

He is the fastest in the squad now right?

I would say most likely, or maybe Willian.

I actually thought his finishing wasn't an issue. It was just a really high quality save.

Oh come on, he totally fluffed it. He had the goal at his mercy
