    Yeah exactly. The last half hour was literally just pass it to Hazard asap.

    So until Chelsea sign Crouch their plan B is pass to Hazard whenever possible. All teams have to do to counter that is what you lot did last night, smother him.

    Chelsea look void of any fresh idea's and Conte obviously wants out.

    Chelsea have had a £44m bid, plus add-ons, accepted by Roma for their Bosnia striker Edin Dzeko, 31, and 23-year-old Brazilian full-back Emerson Palmieri.

    Excellent full back. Had a bad injury recently (iirc) so a bit risky.

    Thats a lot of money for a third choice striker, he'll only get a game if Crouchy, and Morata<laugh> get injured.

    Signing a 31 year ols striker who wasn't great the first time around is also risky.

    Yeah but if it's 44mil for both then he's basically free, just wages.

    Bit of a mixed time if I remember correctly, might be a good signing but I'm not sure.

    I think he will fit in just fine as he is a quality player.

    He's a better option than Crouch or Carroll

    At least he will give them a different kind of striker. A bit like Giroud is for Arsenal. Only Giroud is better.

    Hardly building for the future though is it?

    Him and Crouchy combined are nearly 70

    So he'll be 32 next season, potentially useless within 6 months of being bought. If he's any sense he'll stay where he is so that he plays every game and enjoys his footy but money will make him move.

    Giroud > Dzeko

    Dzeko is a poor mans Giroud. And with Giroud you get great hair and updates on big brother.
