Honestly don't see how this is a bad deal, especially when they're getting rid of Pedro/Willian.
Ziyech has never looked the most mobile player in the admittedly few games I’ve seen him.
Hits a good ball and plays a nice pass but 38M for a 27 year old average athlete isn’t the master stroke it’s being made out to be.
Ziyech? Not the most mobile player? You must've been watching another player in those few games.
He's excellent at getting between lines, playing one-twos and forming triangles. Very skilled dribbler of the ball.
Great business by Chelsea. Shame we weren't the ones to get him, he was on my shortlist. Would make a great Özil replacement. Excellent talent with great end product right in the middle of his prime.
Who makes way for him if they win the race?
Arsenal fans have no rights to criticize other transfers after wasting 80m on Bebe38M for a 27 year old average athlete isn’t the master stroke it’s being made out to be.
Average athlete? Do you watch champions league? He has been one of the CL midfielders for 2 seasons in a row. Ziyech performed great offensively and worked his ass off defensively vs Bayern, Madrid, Juve, Sp**s, Lille, Valencia & Chelsea. Not sure how you’re going to do that if you are an “average athlete.” But I guess if you’re used to Simeone’s concrete wall football you will not like Ziyech much.Ziyech has never looked the most mobile player in the admittedly few games I’ve seen him.

We're not signing Ziyech???? Get in!!!! Massive bullet dodged.
Benrahma, Ihattaren and the likes are what we should be looking at, Aouar provided there isn't too much competition for him.
Because it makes no sense? Why would you focus on that? He goes full power 90 minutes long defensively and attacking and he makes goals and assists? He doesn’t have the power of Cristiano Ronaldo or the engine of Kante but that’s not what you buy him for rexAgain that’s not what I said, he might work hard and be good technically but he’s hardly the most dynamic and athletic of players. Don’t get why that’s so controversial?
Tough one for me. Hope he does great but Chelsea fails miserably. Wonder how they will use him, CAM or RW. He doesn’t care but he’s best for a team at CAM.Hoping he flops miserably.

Yeah well it does hurt. Hoped he would go to Arsenal or a club I enjoy watching. I get no joy from Chelsea. Sick of Ajax pearls going to the wrong clubs.Well if he does great (which will happen eventually) Chelsea will be doing great as well. I can feel your pain brother.
