The bizarre thing about the new chant is that we had a perfectly good one going last week.

And you could swap Harry Maguire for Caglar Soynucu rather easily.

 

Just like in the starting XI.

Definitely a player who could easily be a 'legend' at the club, if his performances carry on and leads the club to cup success etc.

 

Also definitely need an emoji for him, given his ever-growing popularity on here.

Rubbish. He was never shit but filling Maguire boots is a big task. He’s doing it well. There will be mistakes, but this guy is mustard. How far have we come to be disappointed with a result like this at Chelsea. We are a damn good side. 

Yes I know.  I just said that.

 

Calm down.

This is all working out very nicely in defense, Fuchs was certainly better covered by CS than he would have been by the old fella, just because of Caglars pace.

 

Still think we have lost a little in the air, but the speedy cover is a massive plus. Delighted for him, and for the club as a whole.

His pace is so impressive, what we've lost in Maguire's ability carry the ball forward we have gained in Soyuncu's ability to snuff out balls in behind us and he's also composed and talented on the ball. Star in the making for us and I'm so thankful Burnley asked for half a billion for Tarkowski.

Spot on - that's the thing that really impresses me about him - his pace and composure on the ball.  There can't be many quicker centre backs in the division

[HybridFox]

I love the guy already. Absolute beast so far! Harry who?? 

[HybridFox]

Also imagine the scenes if he scores at Old Trafford

a 100% Soy video here

 

Skip to 1:50 to see Cags gracefully dancing about Pulisic

We really need to bin that Harry Maguire/Soyuncu chant. It's so strange

The fact that Harry Maguire is 75% of the song makes it a no for me  give big Cags his own song

My eight year old wouldn’t have been impressed - we sang he ‘has a big willy’ which was more amusing to him! 

Could’ve blew his mind by singing he has a massive clock 👀

[Mickyblueeyes]

Two very good performances from a very good player. Credit to the recruitment team on what has been three excellent windows.

[Deeg67]

I haven't seen much discussion of it, but I also liked how vocal Soyuncu was yesterday.  Nothing deferential in his behavior - he was giving his vocal chords a good workout keeping things organized.

 

He has all the pieces, really, to be a top-level defender.  A bit too cheeky in possession sometimes, and that's going to bite him once in a while.

Only one choice for his song really

@Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo, 

 

Sorry I hardly ever have time to make these any more, I can only make them at work. I do love the old Soy bean though so I will make one when I get the opportunity

That'll come back, people will soon get bored of singing the name of a Man Utd player and shouting about the size of a 23 year olds knob.

I thought that was going to be this...

 

 

[Tanya]

I love him. Cult hero status confirmed.

 

That turn past Pulisic 

[Stuntman_Mike]

Shock, he's getting better with more game time..

 

Still a lot of extreme reactions in here, like there are for every player these days who has one good or one bad game.

 

He's still developing and he will continue to be hit and miss but he's showing a great attitude.

[Countryfox]

 

Well well well ....   

 

 

[mazarron fox]

Also in Garth Crooks team of the week with Madders

[Scotch]

He definitely still looks like he's got the odd howler of a mistake in him but over all, I feel rather silly worrying about whether or not he would be able to take the step up. 

 

It would be topped off nicely if, over the course of the season Benkovic steps up and forces Evans out the team with good performances. 

[filbertway]

Screw cult hero, he's gonna be a proper hero. It's class seeing the same idiots call out a player that's new to a team or league. They only notice and point out the negatives, completely ignoring all the positives and potential.

Benkovic looks absolutely class as well. Think he'll probably need a season to get up to the speed of the league and probably tack on a bit more mass. He looks super composed and seems to rarely lose a duel. They're looking like a couple of class buys.
