I agree, where the hell do they see that kind of money in that player?

No idea. For that money, i'm expecting a top player, a starter, but i just can't see who's place he's taking in our team.

I'm not saying he didn't give 100% .
But he also never had a ball under control and couldn't hit a barn door.
He did quite well for us.
No denying that

Hahaha…I can hear my brother saying exactly the same words about him:)

How much have the chavs spent! They could use a better midfielder - I’ve heard that Kovacic is pretty good…
… oops

Mudryk with a proper basin cut.

I'm not sure what West Ham are doing here. If they let Chelsea have all this possession it's inevitable they'll win. They have all the time in the world to stroll about and pick their passes.

Correct just play kick and rush or if you clearing you lines hoof it up into the other for a throw in

Is this the same Paqueta we're supposed to be after?

He's been non existent. I thought he was a top quality player.

And West Ham want 80m for him?

Nah. Next!

I’ve seen him play loads of times and only once did I notice him have a positive contribution. That was against us at the Etihad last season where I thought his first touch and passes were very good, other than that for Brazil and West Ham I’ve never seen him do owt. One of those where I never notice in a game until a random mention and you think ‘I forgot he was playing’.

I mentioned on here during the World Cup that Brazil wouldn’t get anywhere because their midfield is shit. He was part of that.

But he did look good against us… one game is not enough to spend more than about £35m on though, never mind the daft numbers being asked for.

West Ham have four players in the cheslea half when there defenders have the ball! Those four West Ham players are doing nothing not pressing or anything chelsea just pass it through them and they are on them!

Have you noticed how modern day English players can’t shoot?

Academies must be obsessed with having them able to take in the ball on a first touch, half turn, dribble and pass that they never have then doing any shooting practice.

Unless they’re naturally talented at it like Harry Kane.

Reminds me of a conversation I had with my mate who happened to be a striker for Ireland in the 80s. He was watching a local kids game down here in Brighton, and was chatting to a couple of Albion scouts. He said you must be looking at this lad, as I've been watching him for ages. He couldn't believe when they said "we're well aware of him, but what else does he do but put the ball in the net"

I bet you he can be good if he wants to be, in fact i think his family will bet you he can be good if he wants to be

Chelsea pressing West Ham can't live with
