I'm biased but think you've missed out one of your big loan successes of the season. If we could get Nathan Ake off you lot permanently I'd take him like a shot. Played really, really well for Watford this season.

Not sure how i forgot Ake! I always preferred him as a CB but it seems everybody else likes him as a Full Back. He's got a decent chance of being in our squad next season too IMO.
 
van Ginkel scored again yesterday for PSV. 2 in 2 since he returned to Dutch football and Charly Musonda scored for Betis in a 2-2 draw at Deportivo. Only two games in but that loan is looking promising to say the least.

Skip to 13 seconds for Musonda's goal

Not too keen on van Ginkel but I think Musonda has a great future in the game, hopefully with us, though I won't hold my breath.
 
Piazon scored a very good goal with his first touch for Reading.
 
Yeah I saw that. I had high hopes for him, but he seems to have dropped away.
He would have done lot better, if some people had faith in him instead of buying flops Marin, Salah & Square.
 
Yeah true. Mind you, we could say that about quite a few players over the years.
Agreed, in particular KDB & Lukaku (Nando, Falcao).

Probably we have the worst team of scouts, football Directors !

Buying Garbage is not surprise - every team does their fair share.

But trading awesome talent & cash for Garbage, only our team has done it consistently.
 
Hector played holding midfield and scored yesterday too.

And Lewis Baker has just scored an unbelievable goal for Vitesse from 25+ yards. They drew 2-2. If you click on this guys twitter it's on his newsfeed. Worth watching. https://twitter.com/VitesseCFC
 
Just a hint of sarcasm there Bod? <laugh>
:p

I am kinda serious, but in a jokey way.
I have more chance of ****ing Ariana Grande than Lewis Baker has of becoming a Chelsea first XI regular.
 
Bamford gets a rare start against City. Hope he grabs this chance.
 
Didn't think Bamford did too badly but he tired in the second half, can see why he came off. He didn't get much support but had that shot gone in that hit the bar it'd be up there for goal of the season.

I was about to post the same. Could have been Goal of the Season easily.

Another stat which irritates me is "Shots on goal".
How is THAT hit to the crossbar not Shot on goal, but a tame scuffed shot to goalie will be Shot on goal <doh>

Because one is on target (between the posts which counts as the goals) and the other isn't <ok>
