I definitely take your last point TJ! I don't know, maybe he's to replace Wickham who was playing out wide last season. Maybe DA doesnt have faith in AJ anymore! I was just hoping for an out and out striker and Yanuzaj never really came to mind.
I'm sure you will! The lad is quality! Just having a right ****ing argument with a car dealer the last hour or so, so not in the best frame of mind at the minute I might be chuffed with signing him this afternoon if I can sort this **** out!!!
This will be a great addition. It's looking like either the right forward isn't available or we can't shift Fletch and and Graham.
AJs court case springs to mind, but that is moved back to Feb next year now so I doubt Yanuzaj is being brought in to cover that potential issue. If Yanuzaj does end up with us, you can bet Watmore will be off to a championship club for the season. I am starting to wonder if Dick thinks that Fletcher, Defoe and Graham can start scoring goals with AJ, Lens, Yanuzaj, Leroy, etc providing the service so a new striker is less of a priority for him.
He fits Chelsea's system well, knocking it about endlessly in a half moon outside the penalty box, until the defenders fall asleep and let their guard down. He can do that all day, but I wouldn't want him anywhere near my club. He's a grafter, I'll give him that. Shoots like a ****ing pig in a blindfold.
I'm starting to think we can't shift Fletch and Graham. We know they're some of the better paid players.
I think he drives on with the ball really well and is a menace personally, really rate the lad. Funny how we all see different things, he's a stand out player for me I think he's quality.
I think he needs to be a bit more of a game changer, he works hard with the ball and without the ball but it's all a bit huff and puff for me. He's a million miles better than Cuadrado by the way, but for me, I'd have kept Schurrle he was more technical and clinical than Willian. Plus ****ing daft numbnuts Merse calls him 'Will-I-Am' on Soccer Saturday like he's one of the Black Eyed Peas, that does my head in!
See, all of that I agree with mate, he isn't a game changer, but where he is brilliant is in that he is 'quietly busy' if you like. He's always available and he looks after it well, that makes it easier for Hazard etc to find space. You need players like that, like an advanced water carrier if you like.
I think he's their "Cattermole" - not in a "I'll tackle him even if he's 90% favourite ffor the ball" way but in a "get on with things without making massive individual impact but making lots of little influential things happen" type of way. There's times when he looks woeful - when the attack simply stops when he gets the ball - but then other times he looks awesome!!
Chelsea need players like that, but like I said, I wouldn't want him near my side. Mourinho sets his teams up to find holes and rely on Hazard and Fabregas to find the gaps, great but it's incredibly boring to watch. We went to SB and took the ball off them for 90 minutes, unfortunately, Falcao had a daft brain fart and we lost the game. It's effective, isn't it.
