Bony isnt a bad footballer. At the right club he'll score plenty. Just not really suited to the way we play and now isnt even first backup to Aguero.

Everton seems a pretty good fit providing Lukaku leaves.

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.
Ideally we'd be able to keep Lukaku and still bring in another striker of Bony's standard. That's the dream at least.

Why are the number plates different colours?
Don't know why but both our cars have white plates on the front, yellow at the back.
Honestly have no clue, the image of him infront of the white plates may be old.

Bump away. Seems like a good bit of business from Chelsea.
Good business but it's a selfish way of making money imo as these players who are bought in will never be good enough to play for Chelsea, but they lose years off their careers being loaned out to vastly inferior teams/rot away in the Chelsea reserves

I actually wonder what is said in negotiations to entice them to throw 1/2/3 years of their careers away? Or they are just money hungry mercenaries?

Maybe they believe they can make it? Sometimes those chances never come along again plus maybe whoever bought them, thought they would eventually make it but the new coach doesn't rate them.

How are they losing years of their careers if they are still playing at the decent levels at decent clubs?

I can't think of one player who we've destroyed. Papy was a last minute buy when all our Stone efforts failed, but Mou didn't want to play him so was loaned out and had a pretty good season Werder in the end.

It's not like we buy them and then they don't play anymore and none end up rotting in our reserves(it's full our our academy players who have been at the club for years). I not a huge fan of our loan army setup but it's not detrimental to their careers and if they are good enough they'll end up playing for Chelsea. More often than not they are sold for profit and can continue on their careers. The players are the ones making the decision to join Chelsea, we don't force them to do it.

The plates are different colours so drivers can tell instantly what end of the vehicle they are looking at when it is travelling to gauge if it is coming towards them or away from them in bad weather conditions.

There's your useless information for the day.
