You are quite consistent that you think he's awful defensively, average going forward, and we should be happy to see him leave.

I think that's slagging him off. Considering he's a starting player.

What about any of that is untrue ?

He's a starting player because the owners spent a truck load of money on him and are desperate to prove they didn't waste it so they don't make a loss on him, and hence mandate to the manager that he has to start in the hope that he eventually looks like he was worth the investment. He's hardly getting picked on merit when he's a proven liability in the pivot, and contributes a fraction of the output at #10 (the only other position we could play him in) that we see from many other players, and most probably is why we are interested in the likes of Rogers and Simons to play at #10 instead

I can't fathom why Madrid might think he's worth £130m. If it happens then fantastic business and he becomes Madrid's problem to work out what his best position is. Best solution for us in my mind, and I hope his agent makes it happen !

Neither UB or I are "slagging him off" though. There are no insults being hurled his way, and to compare what is being said about Enzo to the poisonous bilge that is trotted out on the Jackson thread is so far wide of the mark that I almost feel like suing you for slander LOL.

 
Sorry Bisright ... I looked back a bit further and it wasn't you that compared the Enzo comments to what was being said in the Jackson thread. So my attempt at some humour was aimed at the wrong target !

A good reminder to me of why I shouldn't post on here when I only have a small mobile phone screen to look at ... !

Aye, not saying criticism of Enzo is similar to jackos attacks.

I'd say your criticism of Enzo is unfair, maybe the term slagging off is a bit strong.

I think he's a very good player and he's improved a lot in the past season. If he goes to Madrid I expect him to do very well there, and I expect he gets replaced by someone (Simons) who has the same "issues".

I do think he's a huge liability defensively and he doesn't have the skill set to warrant a place in a quick free flowing attack. I don't think we should be happy to see him leave, i think we'll be a better team for it though. His best asset is his long range passing which is pretty useless in the prem with how little time he gets on the ball, at Madrid he'd have the freedom to sit deeper and spray the passes without a press being on you instantly. That means he has to play the 10 and i'd much rather have a more dynamic 10 than someone that looks like they're running through custard.

I don't see how having an opinion on someones skillset is slagging someone off. Slagging off would be what you read on the Jackson thread that seems to somehow gets laughs.

I think I'm not as sensitive to the term slagging off. I mean it like being overly/needlessly critical. I think Enzo is a lot better than you do. That's fine.

The Jackson stuff is bigger than that. And I think that's complete nonsense and don't even get involved.

I think there's a lot of people here who forget how young some of these players are. Jackson is a better player than some of these guys that have moved this summer for 60m+

 
Well he better hit the gym some more because there is only going to be more silverware to lift as Chelsea Captain.

 
Hope he has the same recovery setup Thiago has. He elevates the team so much when he's on

 
I thought it was dreadful defending at first, but na, this pass is the equivalent of a sniper taking out two people to the head with one round. James can most definitely play midfield. Dare I say it, his passing could complement Caiciedo perfectly? tame finish sadly.

This just reminded me what a great player we have, when fit, his best position is on the pitch. Passes crosses free kicks are top notch.
