Yesss ! Indeed I See what you're saying.... That was a bit Short Sighted of us wasn't it ...

He carries a Chelsea 'tax', ie: we hated him from the start because he's ex-Chavs but he's got end product and quite frankly, he makes us tick when he plays as a 9 and when he's not there, we are shit!
He could end up as our top scorer this season I think.![]()
I didn't want him at the start but I do think he's getting better all the time, sure he will miss chances, what striker doesn't.
Anyhow we'll see at the end of the season (judge him in may), I agree with you that he will get 20 plus goals this season, he'd fucking better now that I've backed him on here

Do you think the FA will allow him to career around the pitch with a white stick and a Labrador? Hope so because I suspect the Labrador will be more of a threat up front.

Re: Kai Havertz
Seriously? Wtf??

Took his goal well (rather than heading an unchallenged 6 yd header wide as usual), but was his usual pony self other than that.
Martinelli the clear MOTM.

You can imagine all the away supporters with high pitched dog whistles leading him all over the pitch, I suppose a ball with bells in it might get in the right area for tap ins

Reminds me of an old joke.
A teacher at a blind school takes a group of kids out to the countryside for a day. As they're passing through a village deep in the country, he tells the coach driver to stop by the village green and gets all the kids off and tells them they're going to play football on the green. In the meantime, he'll go in the village pub for a pint or two. The driver asks him how the boys can play football given that they're blind and the teacher smiles knowingly and says "Don't worry, I've put a bell inside the ball." With that, he goes into the pub.
Ten minutes later, the coach driver comes rushing into the pub and yells at the teacher "Quick, quick, hurry outside, the boys are kicking the life out of a Morris Dancer!"
