Welcome Michy! May you follow in the steps of previous players we bought from France!

He has confirmed he will wear the No.23, too.

by Shed Mon Jul 04, 2016 2:06 am

Agreed, may he follow in the footsteps of legend Djilobodji drinking

by Kick Mon Jul 04, 2016 2:12 am

I was thinking more like Drogba, Cech, Malouda, Essien, Hazard, etc.

by Shed Mon Jul 04, 2016 2:21 am

I know mate. Only kidding Razz

Anyway, yes, quite excited about this signing. Odd as that is, considering I don't believe I'd even heard of him 2 weeks ago Laughing

Given what I now now though, correct me if I'm wrong but this is arguably the first exciting young striking prospect we've had at the club since Lolkaku.

by Kick Mon Jul 04, 2016 2:25 am

Pretty much.

I knew of him only because Gil was hyping him up a while ago. Looks like a decent player who will only get better.

by Shed Mon Jul 04, 2016 2:31 am

Oh well if Gil was hyping him then he's sure to be a hit smoking

Gil hype aside, he looks quite good, and seems to already have chemsitry with Hazard Thumbs up

As I saw stated on Twitter earlier today, if nothing else let's hope the new new Drogba pans out better than the old new Drogba (Lukaku) did....

by Kick Mon Jul 04, 2016 2:41 am

I think he will, he is younger, better technically and only lacks physicality on Lukaku, imo.

Very.....frugal.

According to Batshuayi's Facebook, he is joining up with Chelsea's Pre-season squad group tomorrow.

I wonder if Cahill, Azpilicueta, Pedro, Fabregas and Hazard will be, too?

YEP YEP. Unreal scouting as always. I can't do any worse than Emenalo.

Chances we let him go out on loan and leave ourselves with zero options up top for the next 5 months should Costa be injured, banned, or out of form: 0

by Kick Sat Dec 17, 2016 12:20 am

Yeah won't happen.

by Blue Mon May 08, 2017 3:11 am

What you guys think, what do you believe Bats future will be? Stays next season, loan, or we sell him?

What is the deal here, does Conte just doesn't rate him? bad work ethic+lazy?

by Kick Mon May 08, 2017 3:17 am

I think he'll be loaned unless we're lacking CF options.

I think Costa and Solanke will go, Lukaku will return and if we sign Alexis, we probably don't need another CF as Lukaku, Sanchez, and Hazard can play there. So I can see Bats being loaned.

If we only sign Lukaku, I can see him staying on, unless Conte rates Tammy higher, in which case I can see Tammy and Lukaku staying and Bats being loaned.

by Blue Mon May 08, 2017 3:22 am

And what do you believe is the reason for the limited playing time?

It is really strange for me to figure out, how you would spend so much money and not even give him a chance.

by Kick Mon May 08, 2017 3:36 am

I don't think he was a Conte signing, tbh. Plus for the most part, Costa has been undroppable.

I don't understand why he hasn't been played when Costa hasn't played.

I don't think we'll get rid of him like we did with Salah or Cuadrado, though.

by Blue Mon May 08, 2017 3:48 am

That makes sense. I really don't want to send him on loan, we need a backup striker and i think he might come good.

Personally wouldn't be surprised if we go into next season with Morata and Batshuayi.

by Kick Mon May 08, 2017 4:21 am

I agree, except I think we'll get Lukaku.

I don't particularly think Lukaku is the best option, but Emanelo wants him and the latest reports suggest Conte wants him, too. So I can't see it not happening.

by Soul Mon May 08, 2017 8:38 am

Batshuayi just never really showed his potential whenever he was given the chance. He seems like he will explode into class any minute but it's still not yet come.

Agree with Kick though. A loan out seems very likely.

I don't really want Lukaku at CFC either but we really do need a reliable striker for next season

by rincon Mon May 08, 2017 9:26 am

I think he might have been a Conte signing given that when he played Conte's Italy he shone so much, looked better than all the other Belgians on the field. He probably liked him since then.

It would be interesting if it was true hmm
