I was really hoping his loan move would be a success, even if just to get a decent transfer fee in the summer but judging on the below it's not going to happen
Il Corriere Dello Sport rated Bakayoko 5.5/10 - which offered the best rating among the Italian media - and said “Unable to shine without a regista (deep-lying playmaker) playing close to him. He leaves the impression that the ball is burning when he has it."
Tuttosport marked the Chelsea loanee 5/10 and labelled him “Confused and messy" while La Gazzetta dello Sport comments his performance claiming that Bakayoko “is a disaster".
Doesn't seem like things are quiet working out for him at minute "The 24-year-old has made six appearances to date for the Rossoneri with Gennaro Gattuso’s team winning just two of those. His only appearances in Serie A have come from the substitutes bench"
We could be stuck with him back at the bridge at this rate
Bakayoko

We really out shone ourselves with that little spree...didn't we
Heard earlier Utd are paying Sanchez £505k a week...we'd have been better off doing that in place of this fiasco of a window

On a serious note, if we'd had the foresight to use Abraham instead of Morata, RLC instead of Bakayoko and MVG instead of Drinkwater; we'd have been no worse of but had the best part of £140m still in the coffers!
That said no one could predict how badly Morata, with his reputation, would be!

No point looking backwards boys
What you need to do is slap a £30 million bid in for sissoko in January
In all seriousness Sarri seems a breath of fresh air for you lot,playing good football and unified the team

Problem is Brummie last time we tried that little experiment it set us back years (2010). MVG is the only one that could have worked, RLC plays in a different position to Baka and Tammy at Swansea made Morata look like prime Henry.

Nathaniel Chalobah instead of Baka. Instead we gave away a home grown for 5m just to add salt to the wound of 2017 transfer window

Sorry but I don't see how we'd be worse off, no better off maybe but no worse off - except at the bank!
Also can't use Swansea as a barometer of Abraham

Fair point - but I'll refer you to Bov's comment.

Why not? They were the worst scorers in the league and he couldn't get a kick, it shouldn't be the final nail his coffin granted but it's is a worrying sign that can't be ignored and this is coming from someone who likes him.

We can still play RLC for Chelsea on a regular basis as the third substitute to make an impact in the last 20-25 minutes in matches as I liked his performance v Vidi.

Why would it be even considered a final nail in his coffin?
Why would you take any notice of last season, playing for a team that got relegated. TBH, I don't really care what happened at Swansea or Bristol (where he's really well thought of) I want to know what impact he could have at our club.
Highly unlikely we'll ever find out granted but like I said, would we be any worse off trying him as an alternative to Morata or Giroud -- I personally doubt it!
