I don't get this move at all. Given Morata's seeming inability to do the job of a striker, I don't get why they let Batsman go. If Batsman does well and Morata and other Chelsea strikers don't, this will look very silly. But then again, I am not paid millions to make these decisions.

It is a bit baffling. Based off of Michy's personality I guess Chelsea run on a "no fun allowed" policy.
Shame really. He did well at Dortmund and if it wasn't for his connection to the blue sexpests I would not have said no to having him on our team
Easy, Every premier league club now earns about 100m from TV revenues. In fact, CP earned £114m last year from TV alone, and Zaha's wages are about 6% of that. Easily affordable for Palace. However, every player at the so called bigger clubs is watching that thinking they should earn the same, and that's where recruitment becomes difficult, because you can't just pay a player that much without ensuring that the rest of your squad is being paid similarly large amounts. Hell, how many teams, in the world, could afford to pay Zaha that much to be a bench/squad player (which is what he probably would be at Spurs).
And where the fuck is our TV money?
ochbye:
He would've been a great addition but i'm sure they will never let him join us on loan. He's a genuine nice guy, has matured enormously because when he was still in Belgium he ran with the wrong crowds, had anger management issues etc but he worked very hard on his personality. Positive thinking sessions, outgrowing his rather bleak upbringing and gang affiliations and so on.
Makes you wonder, in a hypothetical scenario where Valencia makes the loan permanent, if our fans would be able to take to him if we one day bought him off of Valencia.
He is a tremendous talent and seems like a fun guy
I'm pretty sure it would take 5 mins of press conference, its not like he's a badge kissing Chelsea player either
But he did chose them over us ... and i'm torn between hoping that he rots for eternity and rooting for him because he's so likeable
Strikes me as an Adebayor type alright when he's up for it liability the rest of the time.
He's really hard working though and a lot less provocative as Ade. For example, he's never had issues with coaches in Marseille,chavs or Dortmund. You'll not find him in the middle of all kinds of tabloid stories, or hear excessive and weird contract demands and so on
Just strikes me as the type that happily downs tools when things don't go his way , not the type you'd want in a dogfight.
Hope he gets gametime, and doesn't stagnate like Rogic.
Decent. Nothing more and not worth that much for me. But he’s a good utility defender to have in the squad for a mega club
I don't really get it tbh, it's only a loan deal and I doubt he will start within two seasons. Would have been better off going to Belgium or Netherlands. Hope I am wrong though cause it would cool to see Rogic and Arzani starting regularly in the same team.
No welcome to the CL though?
Gosh so what about tapping our players up, Spanish gits!
