But if Dave has to cover as RB then we have no LB at all. Its a mess.

I guess I just don't understand why Chelsea can't even have a backup for every position. If one guy gets hurt long term we are back to being royally F'd relying on two fullback to play 50+ games. It's ridiculous.

Hell bring Ashley Cole back just for a body.

I agree...on a positive note, I just read that we have agreed to person terms with Baba and now we have to sort out the transfer fee. We have offered 20 million euro and Augsburg wants 25. I expect us to shell out given our need and the short time frame.

Thoughts on him as a player?

Watching his highlights...

Above average speed
Great offensive and defensive work rate
I'm assuming he is left footed because he plays LB but he has a decent right foot
Loves to swing in crosses and puts a lot of bend

Hazard and Fabregas were awful. Oscar was August Oscar and we took him off, should have been Fab. Too cute around the box, just shoot.

Whatever my only hope is a slow start will force our hand in the market because without making any moves it's going to be a long season anyway.

Yea I was surprised Oscar got the hook - thought he looked really good today.

Hazard has the dribbler's syndrome. Holds the ball way too long. Just release the pass already.

Fab is wasted playing deep.

He does for sure but it's hard to blame him. I wouldn't trust any of our other attackers with the ball either.

I wish he would shoot though and when he is going to pass it doesn't always have to be a back heel or outside of the foot bender or one touch flick etc...

They play soccer like men, they are unapologetic in their approach, they only give a shite about winning, they have the greatest captain in the world, the famous royal blue, pride of London, their fans aren't a bunch of sniveling twits like Arsenal, Frank Lampard, they are not Manchester United, they are not live in the past murderers victim card playing babies like Liverpool, Michael Essien, Champions of Europe, Jose Mourinho..

that's off the top of my head.

Was dumb not to lock that down before the Luis sale. Theyve got us by the balls and they know it. Cough up the extra 5 mil whatever and be done with it.

Every time I see a new post in this thread I click in hopes that there is going to be some new big name, or at least any name, player we are pursuing with intent.

Every time I am disappoint.

I absolutely love the transfer seasons... Building rosters is almost as much fun as the games.

I'll try to find better news albeit we aren't even linked with guys other than Stones, Baba and finalizing Kennedy.
