You can't argue with his second tier record but perhaps his lack of international involvement is telling.

I've always found the fact that he didn't ever look like joining a Premier League side strange.

He's the Scottish Yakubu. Does nothing all game but pops up the a goal every now and then. A bit of a luxury player.

Then again, didn't Gestede outscore him in one season for Blackburn? Perhaps that says it all.

I dont think Gestede is that bad at all and I'd welcome him here. He'd offer us something very different from the bench when desperate for a goal.
 
David Luiz is reportedly set to undergo a medical with Chelsea ahead of a £32m move from PSG.

Must be mad.

Selling him how they did was one of the best transfers in history, I cant believe they're about to undo all their good work. Conte must think he can make him into a competent defender or be planning to switch to his favoured 3 man central defence.

Still good news for all those teams, like us, who are yet to play them this season.
