I guess (DD aside) the deals have suited all parties, but the Kante price will forever be a sickener I like to think we overcharged them for Drinkwater, and the pandemic/Champions League stopped us from getting a bigger fee for Chilwell. Beating them in the Cup final went home way towards getting justice against them 2
Brainy Posted 22 August 2021 Posted 22 August 2021 How long til commentary turns into Gary Neville ripping into Arsenal for the rest of the game?

Arsenal win to get their hopes up when realistically they're struggling for top 10 this year and to peg back Chelsea. Fully expect Chelsea to win though, Lukaku with a brace 1

He has nothing else. Sounds like what people said about vardy To say he's just a fast runner and strong is wrong imo. He's a good dribbler.

The difference in quality between the two benches is massive. Aside from Aubameyang Arsenal are severely lacking. They have a team full of singular players you'd like in your team, you just wouldn't field a team full of their players. Edited 22 August 2021 by wardyfox86

He's a good dribbler. In the sense that he is so much faster and stronger than anyone else yes, he can dribble. He's useful enough to have simply for how much he scares defenders, but I was strangely calm seeing him run through us last week. He's an athlete but he isn't a very good footballer, that's my view.
Dan Posted 22 August 2021 Posted 22 August 2021 The Saka clapping is so unbelievably patronising. He's a 20 year old with a potentially great career ahead of him and a genuine talent to boot. Whatever makes people feel better about themselves I guess though. 1
StriderHiryu Posted 22 August 2021 Posted 22 August 2021 Lol, literally Lukaku's first effort at goal. He will be some addition to their team though, clinical front man that is tried and trusted in the Premier League.
KFS Posted 22 August 2021 Posted 22 August 2021 Chelsea are going to be unstoppable this year unfortunately

rn9013 Posted 22 August 2021 Posted 22 August 2021 Chelsea could have a field day if they want to. Arsenal’s defence is poor at the best of times let alone when they’re missing their new shiny £50m man

urban.spaceman Posted 22 August 2021 Posted 22 August 2021 Arsenal to the Championship DONE DEAL & confirmed. HERE WE GO 4

Lukaku doesn't have as much finesse as Kane and Lewandowski, but is faster and is more powerful. Already in this game Lukaku is holding it up really well and allowing Mount and Havertz to join the attack, which is something that Werner could never give them. He's in the top 3 out and out strikers in the world along with the other two mentioned, and hence a brilliant signing for Chelsea.

In a proactive attacking team like Belgium at national team level, he's a proven talent.
