Errr do you forget how Salah and KDB were for us? They didnt have too many games, but the games they did play they had very few good ones and looked out of their depth

I’d agree with you on Salah if anyone says they saw that coming they are a liar. But KDB looked like a player from early on. We did t get to see him much in the league but when he played in pre-season he impressed. 

It’s annoying that we’re sending a £35m player out on loan.

Who says we are?

Potentially, we are. 

I don't think the Spanish league will do him any good.  Musonda was over there and looked like a world beater, but came to PL and really struggled.  If we are going to loan bakayoko (which I am absolutely not against at all) it should be to the right club.  Preferably somewhere in the top 10 of the premier league with the promise of game time.  

It's a gamble to loan him out, if he has a poor season he will be worth next to nothing. I was hoping we would be able to sell him out right.

A few places reporting that Sevilla want to take Bakayoko on loan for the season. 

Might not be the worst thing to happen, especially if it opened up more opportunities for RLC to play. 

Well, they turned Nzonzi into a competent player after looking like a joke in the Premier League, so maybe they can do the same with Bakayoko.

No room for Bakayoko with Kante, Rueben, Jorghino, even Drinkwater will have single figure games with them three in the squad. Barkley needs to be given another season in the squad, last chance this season tho, got to stay fit and improve now. Cesc im not sure wtf going to happen with him, cannot see Sarri wanting someone who is an habitual coaster.

I think it's a nothing rumour tbh. But if we sign Golovin then I can see this happening. Why can't we punt Drinkwater to West Ham or something?

Wd are hardly in a a position to be picky with how bad he was last season.

Just sell him for 20~25mil or the full price from the Nzonzi transfer. We can take a loss of a few mill

We’re lucky there are teams considering a loan move to be honest.

Perhaps we could refuse to pay off his contract for a fundamental breach....being sh*te

Musonda has never looked like a world beater.

Lmao he had like a couple of decent games and then he was put firmly on the bench, in the end he had to be recalled for not getting minutes

I am happy to be here, to be in the best club for me in the world,' he continues.

'Last season was not the best for Chelsea, but I am sure this season we will be better and we will finish higher up the table. I am happy to live in England, I hope to stay here for a long time, and I just want to make the Chelsea fans and the club happy.’

Nice to see he's committed, hope he gets his head down and works hard and ignores all the fake Chelsea fans telling him to f**k off on all his social medias.

I don’t like the amount of personal abuse he gets. Modern football fans, hiding behind their online anonymity are toxic and a cancer.

Bakayoko is a young lad and doesn’t deserve to be subjected to some of what is flung at him.

Will be interested to see if Chelsea/Sarri give him a second chance this season or if they see a loan as the best way for him to find some form.

Some of the things that get commented on his Instagram posts by 'Chelsea fans' is just plain disgusting.

Bakayoko is 22. Makelele who basically helped him where he is said he needs time to peak and find his footing in Prem. Hope it happens with Sarri abd the new system.

Personal abuse on those platforms is always disgusting considering the venom is directly aimed at our own players. It's not his fault he's crap and we paid x100 too much for him.

Find his peak? He was probably the worst player I have ever seen play in a Chelsea shirt since the early 90s. Despite multiple opportunities he looked absolutely clueless, and there was nothing to suggest he has the skills to play a game based on quickly movement, pressing and vision like sarri would demand.

I am all up for supporting our own, but in this instance I wouldn't be sad of he was moved on.

I think there is a horror movie script being drafted about his first half cameo against Watford. Worse individual performance I have ever seen. From anyone. Not just Chelsea players
