He’s a good player and I would definitely have him. Is he better than ASM. On his day. No. But then again ASM only has 5 a year.
would he stay fit more than ASM? Diaby is the one I want. He’s been like a machine for France. He’d DIT into our high press game very well.
Agree with this. I think Diaby plays on the right though doesn’t he. ASM has next season to prove he’s “all that” for me and I reckon he will if he can stay fit. Like against Saudi team in the 5-0 Miggy came on at half time and did more than ASM did and scored 2 goals.
Not a bad player at all, but has never really shone at Chelsea. In the naional team though he's a different player. However having a US international, especially one that is a key player for them, is only going to aid the growth of the club stateside and tap into a potentially huge merch market. I know we have money, but isn't the aim to grow the income streams too!
I do like this guy, and I think he could be really good here. Chelsea have never really used him properly, and he's got far more than he's had the chance to show there.
I'd be a bit disappointed if that's the best we can do tbh. We should aim higher than a Chelsea reject.
He ain't a reject, just someone they've not used properly. Chelsea "rejects" also include De Bruyne, Lukaku, Salah, Scott Parker, Declan Rice, Thorgan Hazard, Nathan Ake, Batshuakyi etc....
I just don't rate him that highly mate. I don't see him as better than ASM. I can see ASM under eddie doing as well or better than Miggy.
Yes and yes. We've been making do with Murphy and Fraser. If you cannot see how much of an upgrade this guy would be I can't help you. Coached by Howe he 100% fits our style of play.
No brainer. ASM is knackered, he can barely run a full game. So we have played Murphy more than him this season and often last season. Pulisic is a great player.
https://www.transfermarkt.us/christian-pulisic/verletzungen/spieler/315779 He's constantly hurt and will start to complain again if he doesn't start. Just not worth the risk.
But for us he will start I think. More resilient than ASM (who is a lovely fella but I'm old school.. I like my players to play).
