Didn't want him, but now that we are signing him, I can't help but getting excited. :D
 
What an amazing merry go round of signings. Big move by Conte... an unproven B2B midefielder for next season and selling us a key piece in midfield that we needed.

Lets see who is happier in 13 months time.
 
Should free up Pogba, knows what Mourinho wants from him and already knows what it takes to win the PL.

Yep. I'm happy.
 
If zlatan really did sign in January it will be a heck of a tall physical team.

Looks like Conte putting all his eggs in the Kante basket. Could end up being very costly if Kante gets injured.
 
Three down, one to go. Good news.

So much for the 'Jose frustrated at our transfer activity' bullshit.
 
Excellent, excellent news. Mourinho will play him exactly where he is best in this team, midfield two or three where his job is to sit back and cover the defence.
 
Changed my mind on him and quite buzzed about the signing.

The less than stellar pace and mobility won't matter that much with him primarily being the sitter, and the lungs will be provided by Herrera and Pogba who both gets around a lot.

Tbh some of us are a bit meh about siging a 28 yo. But I wonder how Chelsea fans feel selling one of their champion players to a rival?

Mou is probably ecstatic.
 
They perhaps had their heads turned after knowing what was on offer, an insight of what the club wanted and perhaps a new challenge.
We're so laid back in getting genuine world class talent post-RVP.

No, they all wanted to leave. You can't throw players like Bale and Modric in as examples because they were moving from a smaller club to a bigger one, able to compete for more trophies and earn substantially higher.

Kroos to United from Real is a horizontal move at best. And your last sentence is ridiculous. We bought Di Maria, signed Zlatan and just signed Lukaku. All 3 of whom had competor offers.
