Having watch Bakayoko a little bit I don't think his lackadaisical style is what we need.

Antonio wouldn't be much of an upgrade on Moses. Probably worse defensively too.

Can see our CM looking quite different next season. Marchisio rumour doing the rounds today as well.

Bakayoko Kante Marchisio

Our midfield next season ?

Didn't realise that Marchisio is 31 already.

Marchisio would be great
From the little I've seen of Bakayoko not a fan, reminds me of Matic. Guess he's younger though

We won't buy Marchisio, too old.

Marchisio would be very likely be horrible.

He's not one I would particularly​ go for but why horrible?

I struggle to believe an injury prone 31 year old who has only ever played in Serie A would adapt well to the PL. And given he is likely a favourite of Conte, I think he would play regularly even if he was struggling.

I'd echo that...

Zola had only ever played in Serie A and wasn't much younger than Marchisio is now when he first came to Chelsea.

Different era though buddy - that time we would take what we could. Now we always have 1 eye on the future

Not a chance he'd ever be as good as Zola though obviously.

How good is Michail Antonio actually? I know he scores goals but can he actually do all that Moses does and score as well?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He has the physique to do it and has shown he can play in many positions...............but can't answer your actual question...............only he can.

‘I don’t like stats a lot, but it’s important to know. Sometimes the stats are not true, above all for possession. You can have good possession and then you lose the game. So some stats are not so important.

‘But the stat about clean sheets is an important stat. It’s 11 games that we have not been able to keep a clean sheet.

‘It’s important to improve, to work on the situations where we are conceding goals. I am not concerned about this, but at the same time we are working.’

If we defend as badly as we did agst Southampton and Baines has a good day with his deliveries then expect another very nervous Chelsea display at the back.
