I think all of them would be upgrades on at least our current squad players tbh.
I mean I am honestly shocked our CM options are Skipp/Winks/Sissoko/Dier/Wanyama. That's mid table quality at best. Willian is a lot better than Moura/Lamela as well.

We are just not that good.
Not to win things anyway. We go on great runs but always falter at the business end.
Still, fuck em all.......

He was supporting Maulizio Salli... fuck it, I dunno, he probably got tickets online for "London FC Soccer Game"
Any retrospective action or discussions for Rudiger? Na I didn't need think so
No interest in who despises him. I've got the evidence of my eyes.
He's playing for a team I loathe but whenever I see him (not often do I bother to watch the fascists unless they're playing us) I think " Wouldn't it be nice if..."
From what I remember they snatched him from under our nose a couple of years back (or was that Hazard!)
Anyway from the evidence of my eyes, I'd take him in a millisecond instead of Lamela or (increasingly) Lucas.
He seemed pretty able-bodied to me last night. And yet we put up with Lamela who (apparently) has been injured for 2 1/2 of the 5 1/2 years he's been with us!

The difference between Spurs and the big spending clubs is that if man city, utd or chelsea owners owned our tottenham squad in the summer just gone, they would have splashed out on 2-3 big signings to push on for the title and we would be running away with the league right now. Thats the difference in mentality between us and them. Their clubs demand titles and silverware. They always strengthen. Ours dont. Our mentality was “hold on to the players we’ve already got and try to tie them down with contract extensions as insurance incase one day they want to leave”
So did Dembele mate.... when he was fit.
Loftus Cheek is okay but has a brittle back.
And sorry but our biggest issue is mentality.
We can buy all the players possible in a certain bracket but that group also need to have mentality instilled on them.
Whatever good work Pochettino undoubtedly has amd continues to do he has not fixed the key games issue..
That won't change with a Loftus-Cheek. Would have with. 30 year old Modric, a Roy Keane or excuse my swearing a Patrick Vieira.
Name me 5 or more good Willian performances this year.
You've spent this entire thread bigging up Chelsea.
Suspect.
Based on last night Kovacic is the player I’d take tbh
No squad is going to be fixed by the addition of one player. We need a constant refresh of 2 or 3 players every summer transfer window.
Yes I would take him (in a millisecond). Not that it will ever happen. He'd need to go somewhere else first before joining us.

That’s is both absolutely shocking and laughable for a side mentioning itself in a title challenge

Eh. You seriously want me to dignify this with a response?
I've already said that I rarely watch them. It's clear you've run out of ideas - so tag me a fascist? Extraordinary.
Yesterday I argued I'd prefer Sturridge to Llorente - this makes me Liverpool?
Get back under your rock!
We are discussing respective benches so I'm afraid he doesn't count. For what it's worth I'd take him too.
So your first claim was that you rate Willian because of what you see with your eyes...
...now you rarely watch them.
So by your own admission you have very little to outrightly say Willian is better.
Unfortunately I am subjected to Chelsea games rather often.
Willian is terrible now and he will be in China next season.
