    come on mate, you need to be a bit more rounded than that.

    Morata - He's a decent player but struggling first year for his price (if he was cheaper we'd be okay). The fact you reckon he's decent but conte doesn't use him properly is more on Conte than on morata (plus our transfer policy).
    Bakayoko - Gash
    Drinkerwater - Gash but i'd give him a run before cesc although 40m is still enough to induce nightmares and make whoever decided it was a good idea an immediate sackable offence
    Barkley - Gash (well not given a chance) but to pay any money for a crock was another sackable offence
    Zappacosta - i actually really like. At the very least he should be in ahead of Moses
    Rudiger - Has looked good but needs to learn not to dive in too much

    Emerson - no chance yet
    Giroud - Guess it was okay at that money but not really being played

    As for players we lost - Costa big miss, Matic big miss (cause we didn't replace him properly) but ivanovic and terry hadn't played in years so please don't do a reverse stan and include them

    not quite, disagreed with you on morata, zappa and sort of with drinkwater.

    Then disagreed with ivanovic and Terry.

    Thats half your points right there!

    It is unclear whether Conte wanted to sign him, or was forced to.
    I heard reports stating that Conte wanted Lukaku and the board forced him to sign Morata.
    Also heard reports stating the reverse, that Conte wanted Morata but the board wanted Lukaku.
    So am not really sure whether it can be blamed on Conte or not.

    Signing Morata in the first place was a big mistake seeing as we play nothing like the style he is used to, I have to think Conte could see that, and wouldnt have been so stupid to pursue a guy who was never going to fit in, in a million years.
    For that reason i am more inclined to believe that he wanted Lukaku.

    Also you say you disagree with me on Drinkwater, but you dont. I also think he is gash, and it was a mistake to sign him.

    Signing Pool made who is tearing up was a Chelsea Gash, remember.

    Read all my posts before calling or judging.

    Ok, not everyone was calling Mo as POTY candidate when he was signed. He was just a Chelsea reject worse than Lukaku.
    Remember Lukaku was worse than Morata until December.

    This Fcuk up is on Tony every which way.

    Personally i think conte wanted to morata. With regards to both i don't think both fit a lone striker role properly.

    Conte historically has wanted Morata but unfortunately we'll never know as marine whats her name is our version of Levy but poorer.

    What we can agree with is that Conte hasn't gotten the best out of morata and that last year, he changed tactics (to his preferred one) but one that actually suited our playeres whereas this year he's trying to fit in square pegs into round holes (and he's criminally underused Pedro)

    Salah alone makes Liverpools signings better than ours, then add Van Dijk as well, no contest. Who else did they get?

    What does that have to do with anything?
    He clearly IS working out with Liverpool so it makes him a good signing.
    Like Liverpool give a **** about rival fans taking the piss when he signed because he was a "Chelsea reject", he has made everyone eat those words hasn't he?

    My point is that our signings didn't improve our squad, in fact we're weakened by them and TC knew that. Spuds and Pool's signings improved their teams. That's the difference.
