With this guy in the team, I can see Fabregas in the Pirlo role behind Baka and Kante. He's very energetic and mobile. Very fast too. What i liked the most was his dribbling skill. He will be able to drive into midfield from deep...something we haven't had since Matic of 14/15, while Fab would be free to ping long range passes around like a quarterback.
Exactly. This is what I am seeing in the future too.

Why do you guys always think winning the treble is the highest? Are there only 3 trophies to play for in England?
So if you call winning 3 trophies in a season under-achieved season, then you need to remind me the year you ever won 4 trophies in a season

We are one month away from preseason oh. These guys should hurry up and give new signings time to train because season starts with tough opponents straightaway. I don't want no last minute Djilobolodji stories.
I dey tell you. These guys be gawking in the market, when it's dying hours, dem go start panic buys.

Where did you see underachieved in the post you quoted?

Meanwhile we have won treble more than once so forgive us if we do not see it as anything again as we're aiming for more.

Though I like is combatant nature,pace on the ball and loads of energy however, I have a problem with is kind of dribbling Bros. His dribbling from the clips I just saw looks excessive and dangerous when dispossessed in key areas.

I am of the opinion that conte signed this guy. He once had Vidal in juventus,tried everything to get naingollan and now we have our workhorse in babayoko, Young,energic and a combatant in nature. Na 50/50 be this one. He may end up being a ramirez or a Vidal. Only time will tell ....

You should also understand that winning the treble over and over again becomes stale especially when you're ambitious and know you can get more.

We all know that Floyd defence is out of this world but Conor has got some nasty hands, if he touches Floyd... the old lady will sing.

My money will be on Conor..... KO/TKO win hedged by a Floyd decision win. Both guys and Dana should each be taking more than $50 million.... red panty night...lol

Underrate faya.

Floyd Mayweather has titles in 5 different weight classes My G.

Connor has ZERO professional boxing experience.

You must not know how the boxing game goes.

Deebo is not the same as Mike Tyson.

This match is a foregone conclusion already. If it even gets to the 12th, it would be because it was secretly written into the contract.

I agree with you to a large extent, but I choose to be more optimistic and see the boy as a Yaya style buldozer. i belive that given his age, and Conte's precedent of improving players, there's a lot to be optimistic about.

Olabode89, look at Conor McGregor Sparring...this was only last year o.

He's in Blue.

Man looks like he's wading through treacle. Can't keep his guard up, Can't react quickly enough for the counter. Flailing around with windmills.

mayweather will light up the clown like a cohiba.

If McGregor goes through to the 8th or 9th round just know its a fix..Or as Nihilist said its codedly in d contract..Been a Pro in boxing isn't done in 6months..I won't be shocked when the pressure gets to him in the ring if he mistakenly lifts his leg in defence on Aug 26..Bet on Conor at your peril

If Fabregas is the only hope for this guy achieving a tactical fit, then we were better off going for Tolisso or Tiellemans who also drive, but add goals and assists and can play the role of conventional midfielder if 3-5-2 is not working, or if Fabregas is injured or is unable to reprise the Pirlo role comfortably. Even Ramires could achieve a tactical fit in certain setups but in the long run was found wanting in conventional midfield setup. Let not a midfielder hide under tactics. If you can't do a basic job in conventional midfield, I am not interested in how you can fit in because sooner or later you will be relied on to run midfield and if you can't, na serious gbese we go dey.

After watching the bakayoko video, the only thing I saw that is not good is his sometimes unnecessary dribbles. Aside that, he is a very good buy considering his height, speed, strength and the price.

Watch the "Bakayoko Vs" video not the highlights videos which only show his best dribbles and tackles. When you watch an "all touches in a match" video, you will get the full picture of a midfielder and how he receives, controls and passes the ball each time. His highlights video does not scrutinize his first touch which is what is under question. Someone on a forum called him the French Fabian Delph. That is not too far off his technical standing.

IMO, he and Fabinho as a midfield two did very badly. Any possession they had came through Lemar and Silva, and the team was split into two seperate parts - attackers and defenders - with no midfield bridge to link the two. This style of play can only get you so far in the long run.

The Monaco team was characterised by high octane and high frequency possession turnovers - an endless cycle of tackle and counterattack, tackle and counterattack with no midfield control whatsoever. Linking attack and defence is the responsibility of the base midfielders and they both were woeful in this aspect. This style of play with high frequency turnovers is what led them to be chopping 6,3,4 goals in UCL knockout round.

McGregor is not your typical MMA guy with a wrestling or other traditional mixed martial arts base. His base is kickboxing, we all know that he has zero professional experience but he's got hands of steel with the technique and angles to send Mayweather to the canvas. The million dollar question is can he hit Mayweather with his vicious cross left ??
