Chelsea still look like a side thrown together with no plan other than buy names

Yeah, throwing big names and reputations at a rookie manager may not be the best strategy. fudging keeper looks a liability too.

That Kepa must be the worst GK in any top division. He's utterly useless! Remind me, how much did he cost?

Depends on your point of view, for Chelsea I think it’s a fantastic strategy!

You beat me to it, I was about to ask the same question. When I told the wife he was the most expensive GK in the PL she nearly choked on her tea

 

[paxtonwolf]

Well, resigned to the fact the points are Liverpool's, so just for entertainment value they might as well go and butcher these kn@bs 4 or 5 nil

 

[paxtonwolf]

Shocking penalty

£75m

Uh, so handball goals are allowed now?

I Couldn't really see if it hit his hand. But I loved that goal! Chris Wood to the Leicester defender:
- fudge off and get out of my way little fella! I'm having this one!

 

[paxtonwolf]

Another 6 goals tonight

Leicester now 4-2 up.

 

[paxtonwolf]

39 goals in 8 games this weekend...not too shabby

I actually think he's the most expensive of all time not just PL

Older list (not sure if it's been updated recently)

Kepa Arrizabalaga, Athletic Bilbao to Chelsea in 2018, £71m
Alisson Becker, AS Roma to Liverpool in 2018, £65m
Thibaut Courtois, Chelsea to Real Madrid in 2018, £35m

Gianluigi Buffon, Parma to Juventus in 2001, £32.6m
Jordan Pickford, Sunderland to Everton in 2017, £25m

Ake and Stones CH pairing for City tonight....should be interesting.

I think Wolves could rip them to fudging pieces. Hope they do.

And not answering the phone! The only reason they are still playing him (and praying that he improves) is because they can't sell him. Bilbao have another promising keeper now I think and no one else would even remotely be interested.

I feel a bit sorry for the lad for contracting the Karius virus.
