He got 230k a week for 7 years, we got 70 million quid. The only people that aren't laughing are Chelsea. 

The little **** will not starve, u would think 🥴

[Spudulike]

He wasn't here long enough to make an emotional attachment despite being one of our FA Cup final heroes. He was one for the future but his departure left a bad taste after the support given to him during his recovery from long term injury. No class but he's obviously not bothered and neither should we be. Ultimately good business for the club. Next... 

[gerrytaggart]

Wish him well.  But his attitude suits Chelsea more than us.   

 

Great bit of business as it turns out.

Certainly is when you think we have signed Faes, Souttar, Kristiansen and Tete for what we got from Chelsea.

About sums it up. And I understand. 

The part I DONT get is the level of vitriol of some people. Not on here particularly but on social media per se. Such anger toward people that the poster has not met, or ever will meet. 
But I guess people do it because they CAN (it’s easy to bully and abuse on social media - I see it on here at times) and because they are unhappy with their own lot. 
I’ve said before that social media has become the new school playground. Rather than doing it face to face, people on social media bully, ostracise, abuse and hate on social media instead.

Just saying that folk struggling to make ends meet might be overly vitriolic towards perceived egregious avarice.

Avarice, as one of the seven deadly sins, hardly needs qualifying with any adjective. Like the word "unique", it stands by itself. But that one hell of a sentence.

Adding adjectives to the words already in the superlative form gives me an ennnoorrrmmmoouuss sense of well-being.

Convinced Chelsea signed the other Fofana to make them feel better about this one

[An Sionnach]

He was , to some on here , and it is on record , the best young CB in the world and was going to be the new Baresi. Good player? yes he is , but nowhere near Steve Walsh at his best.

He's a poor mans Tunchev!

[An Sionnach]

The hype on here about Fofana was ludicrous. He has had a few moderate to poor games for Chelsea and then got injured. What does he lack? Not enough between his ears.

I still wonder how good he would have been if he hadn't had that injury. He looked so class, but we'll never know if he could have performed at a higher level

Big enough lugs on him.

 

Has anyone got that video of him 'debuting'/practicing a celebration like some twelve year old moron. 

 

Works to remind yourself that behind the ability to defend relatively well he's essentially an overgrown child thrust into the public eye and millions of pounds.

That's what we do though. As fans we want to be excited and have a new hero even if the player turns out to be not what we expected (most do). Tête is the latest one and worth getting excited about even if ludicrous at times. It would be pretty much dull if we didn't on occasions. 

[Foxxed]

This guy is so far from my thoughts now this thread seems ridiculous. We have a Brazilian winger. The French defender can do one. Next!

[Legend_in_blue]

As things stand with Chelsea at the moment, the only thing he's likely to achieve in the game is a bigger bank balance.
