    I heard that behind the scenes they rate him silly high. Seems to be showing it already.

    Is Ballard unfit for the PL now …

    … based on half an hour of a friendly.

    I wish I was sharp enough to make these judgments so quickly <doh>

    How many times have we said that this half eh

    The pace of the passing and the movement is as quick as I ever remember seeing us

    I know it's only preseason but really hope this is how we are setting up to play this season

    I don’t think that’s what’s been said mate to be honest

    just people think he may struggle in a higher line due to his lack of pace

    Would be silly to play one way in pre season and change it going in to the league so maybe we are building to move the ball and get from back to front as quick as possible

    That 60 million quid in midfield looks like it was worth it.

    That 60million in midfield looks like £240million to Chelsea in 12-24 months.
