Free transfer plus signing
on fee, it good enough for us even with a few years under his belt. If we were rumoured to be signing him there would be loads of negativity and quite rightly so.

Tosin is an astute pick up by chelsea and would have been for the other few clubs linked with him. Given their impending financial issues, bringing him in on a free and offloading chalobah who is a lesser player for £20-30 million would be one of the few good bits of business chelsea have done under their new ownership. An upgrade and a large influx of cash.
My previous track record on your ex City players is Sterling is past his sell by date and I was glad to see him go (no personal criticism of the lad) and Palmer who I was happy with the 45m we got for him, he had to go and has been good for you but when we played you in the FA Cup he was pretty poor, not that's a barometer to judge him by.if you say is he’s third tier after Chelsea have signed him, my guess he is quite a bit better than that based on your previous track record of assessing Chelsea players. I’ll definitely enjoy watching him.
You've bought some relative donkeys for the dosh spent and I think you'll finish lower this coming season especially with an ill judged appointment of your Manager.
Your opinion but I've yet to see him impose himself on any top 8 team.Tosin is an astute pick up by chelsea and would have been for the other few clubs linked with him.

He’s not imposing. He a calm, reasonably quick, tall defender that’s calm on the ball.Your opinion but I've yet to see him impose himself on any top 8 team.
Didn't progress enough, as simple as that and he'd be nowhere near our first team squad even now, not flexible enough or comfortable on the ball, decent in the air but that doesn't fulfil Pep's criteria for a defender.I didn't want him to leave
We'll see, I predict he'll struggle to become a regular, bit of a Zouma type player, does he own a cat?He’s not imposing. He a calm, reasonably quick, tall defender that’s calm on the ball.

He’s far more mobile than Zouma. Despite being taller, I bet he’s a good 2 stone lighter.We'll see, I predict he'll struggle to become a regular, bit of a Zouma type player, does he own a cat?
Whether he’s a success is unknown, but it’s not much of a financial gamble.

He's a more than competent premier league defender on a free. I didn't suggest he was good enough to be first choice, even for chelsea, I said he was an upgrade on chalobah who is nowhere near their first choice. Upgrading and getting a big money profit is great business.Your opinion but I've yet to see him impose himself on any top 8 team.
