he did what he does. He got the ball and moved forward and then dithered before passing. Now with us that wasn't so much an issue as the only player in front of him was Rom but Chelsea have players running into space. He just isn't (at the moment) on thatt level. Chelsea fans don't appear to have taken to him.

that's my point though, he walked into an all conquering juve side and carried on winning.
He took a quality italian national team and did well,
walked into a chelsea side with hazard etc and bought the previous title winners best player and spent a fortune.

if he came here he'd need to sort out the defense , midfield and attack with nowhere near the budgets he's had availalble, all without the lure of london and champions league, if he's throwing strops at chelsea imagine him here...

Absolutely not true.

Bit silly this post considering the trophies he's won and the fact that we have been spending silly money.

I'd have him here in a heartbeat.

not really when you look at his record outside of juve and chelsea, we may be spending silly money but it's still not to the level of the teams above us

Why have the Chelsea fans judged him already though? Have they just seen him play for us and thought hes crap

It's going to be rough for him early going though

It's sink or swim for Ross. He has the talent to play at the highest level we've seen that in spits and spurts but he need to do it week in week out or he'll be out pretty quickly. As for Chelsea fans, they see the likes of Arsenal, United, City and even the RS splashing 60-70m on a single player and they look at Ross and probably think "why have we only got him". Conte's comments won't have helped and their fans are probably thinking 'well if our manager didn't want him why should we'. Ross can change that by playing well but he's almost gone there immediately on the back foot.

Remember when Spurs wanted to build their team around him, Alli and Kane, and Levy was just holding out til the last minute to get him for the best price? Evidently that one didn't go to plan.

And lads saying he’d get into any top six side.
He won’t start for Chelsea for a few weeks now.
Conte has said he didn’t want him ( not in so many words ) and had blamed the club for transfer buisness
He will prove his point by not playing ROSS
I’m not sure he’s to fond of Palmeri judging by his comments yesterday and that a position Chelsea seem well stocked in
