Wouldn't that be great...
For me i'm rather hoping it allows 'Dave' to play at right back and give us the perfect full back balance.

Looking forward to seeing him play.

José's general disdain towards getting fresh blood in the XI...no real secret.

Disdain? Wow. I guess that means Rahman will not even see a cameo. Unlucky.

I'm sure he will. Was only partially being serious. It even took Dave something like 6 months to get in there and that's because Cole was on the decline.

Of course he will. But I doubt Jack was speaking about a regular spot. Just merely seeing what he's about on the pitch. I'm sure we'll get a glimpse of that sooner rather than later.

But certainly the nature of the game, and our manager, means defenders have it tougher when acclimatising.

The 21-year-old made the most tackles in last season's Bundesliga (109), while attaining averages of 0.8 key passes and 1.4 dribbles per game to earn a WhoScored.com rating of 7.37. In comparison, Azpilicueta offered 0.6 key passes and just 0.3 dribbles per game for the Blues last season.  GET HIM ON!

And he only got on because Ashley got injured

Seems like he isn't ready yet. Another game that he misses.

Reckon he will start against tel aviv

Send out a St.Bernard Dog with a cask of Brandy to find him.

AWOL

He's a professional footballer. He can't be so bad that it takes months and months and he still can't even make the bench yet. And if he is, why did we sign him?

Fully expect him to play Wednesday, play well and then be unceremoniously dumped from the squad come the weekend.

If that weren't such a likely scenario I'd laugh.

I really hope he comes good because we really can't keep playing Ivanovic anymore.

So far he looks more like an heir to Filipe Luis.

Here's a thought... 3-5-2 with wing backs. Actually have the personnel now with pacy leftsided fb/wb with Baba.

Begovic

------------

Cahill/Iva

Terry

Zouma/Papy

-------------

Azpiliceuta/Willian (Adv wing backs)

Baba/Kennedy

--------------

Matic/Mikel

RLC/Fabregas/Ramires

--------------

Hazard/Oscar (just behind or free role)

--------------

Costa/Remy

Falcao/Pedro

Two centre forwards. Width from wbs without comprising defense. Three centre backs with Matic in front. Midfield solidity with wbs and extra centre half behind.

I like your thinking but the officials might notice if we've got 21 players on the pitch.

I was impressed the other night (albeit with limited oppo) looked fairly big and strong good feet.Also I think its time we bought back an old favorite in regards to the old Babayaro/macarena chant One Baba, two Baba etc.

Can't understand why we sell Bertrand for £10m and sign this guy for £21m.
