Been disappointed with Bakayoko. Zappacosta has done ok when called on and I like he always wants to be on the front foot and get a cross in.
Rudiger has been great.
18mil for a premiere league goal scorer who is used to league will get you goals and a French international is good money. Im quite happy with that signing and think he will do well.

He’s 31, hardly a long term prospect is it. Agree on Rudiger who’s been solid for us. Can’t really tell how much we miss Matic next to Kante but our defence has improved compared to last year and we’re conceding less goals per game. It’s games like Bournemouth and Palace that do my head in.
Midfield needs to be addressed urgently and I’m afraid Bakayoko, Drinkwater and Barkley aren’t at the level of what we’re used to and what’s required to continue to challenge for trophies. Let’s hope I’m wrong.

Not a great January for us. Shocked about last nights result and to add insult to injury I read we’ve paid £18m for Giroud!?!
Add Barkley, Zappacosta, Bakayoko (who hasn’t lived up to expectations) and Drinkwater it starts to look like we’re aiming to build a pretty average squad.
Out of all transfers it’s just Rudiger and Morata that have added some value to the team but letting Costa go seems an even bigger mistake now than it did at the start of the season.
