Shipped off to Bristol on loan. At this stage he needs a premiership loan or even move..
I will be amazed if he ever gets a run in the Chelsea starting 11 .
If hes good enough he'll get to build on the 2 games hes already played for us.

Seems a good loan spot for him, not sure the Prem would have been a smart move.

he needs to play. What's the point getting 10 mins off the bench every fortnight in the prem?

Stefanovic told the BBC: “It’s clear bullying. In Slovenia, we would have indicted Mourinho and asked for the highest penalty – three years in prison.

“This is clearly meant to discourage Bastian. Mourinho is setting a bad example. I would take it to the ordinary court. In our case, the penal code is quite clear. If there is bullying and harassment, there’s a prison sanction, a maximum of three years in prison.

He's the type of player who'll look fantastic 1 every 3 games or so.

When he was at West Ham he said he wanted to play for a top 6 team, ended up moving to Hull and we got a much better player in Kouyate the next off-season.

I mean he'll do a job for Newcastle and will replace Sissoko very well. The question is will he stick around in the long-term, but then again you don't really need him to I suppose.
That's already an improvement over Sissoko to be fair! :D

Bilic said he wants a minimum of 5 new players before the transfer window closes.

Assume that'll be Bacca, Ayew, Santon, maybe another left footed LB, and another midfielder / attacker potentially.

Keep in mind, we haven't spent much at all, Nordveit and Feghouli were freebies, Fletcher was compo and Tore was a loan, so we could spend another 30 to 40m I'd imagine with Sahko and Valencia as possible sales.

Manchester and Liverpool are only about an hour apart so I really don't want to read that much into it, could easlily be doing some shopping or checking out the town for the day.

I'd be more than happy to have him as part of a potential Stones deal however.

Reckon it's 50-50 right now.

He's waiting to see what Napoli do to replace Higauin. If they sign Icardi, he's really got no other option currently.

But he's probably going to wait and see that we qualify for the Europa League as well I'd imagine.

If you sell Lukaku, he's a pretty decent option as a replacement.

Koeman likes to have a target man striker up front, but he has to be able to press as well from memory.

Sounds like he's given up on Niasse as an option also.
