Great signing for us. Looking forward to seeing him progress with us.

Good Player, Good Signing.

I'll wait till I've seen him play for us, I'm currently "meh" especially at the price quoted.

I think it’s a gimme that Purple will be his nickname in the match day threads.

The last player who didn't cut the mustard at Chelsea and went on to make a name for himself elsewhere hasn't turned out too bad since we signed him so hoping that lightning can strike twice.

I don't think it was a case of him not cutting the mustard, they just couldn't give him the game time he needed. They clearly rated him hence the buyback clause.

I think he'll be a great signing - adds strength in areas where we needed it.

No picture of him signing with Soriano so I can only assume this lad is one for the loan army.

Or Soriano is still in Barcelona where he had his photo taken with Torres?

I am still adament that he shall be called "Ake" pronounced like "Mike"

Decent backup for Laporte and doesn't take up one of the foreign spots.

Now we just need a top class right footed CB (preferably Koulibaly) to partner Laporte.

Shades of the beginning of the 2017/18 season with our business here. Getting it done and getting it done quietly.
