Not quite sure what to make of that.  That 2013-2014 stat completely interrupts the trend.

What's that liked compared to others? I think in Suarez's best season at Liverpool he had a conversion rate of 26% or something like that.

Half of that team is shite anyway I wouldn't be too upset if I was United with the signings of Depay, Bastian, Darmian and Schneiderlin. At least they didn't do a Liverpool (Signing Downing, Henderson and Adam after getting rejected by Alonso, Mata, Benzema and Hazard).

It was a missed opportunity not to put Notamendi.

The 20+ percentage is really good, I think.  I think that at the midpoint of the 2013/2014 season he had the highest conversion rate in Spain.

Could this be the most important laughing smiley ever posted on The-Playmaker?  Time will tell.

Cuadrado sent on loan to Juventus after signing for Chelsea just a few months ago for £21 million.



Nearly as bad as the fact we're sending Balotelli back to AC Milan.

Remember when Celtic fans were very uppity about their players being linked to Southampton, a step down they proclaimed. Well Van Dijk has now completed his move to Southampton too.

Has he gotten worse or is he just at the wrong club at the wrong time?

For me it's hard to tell since Chelsea have been so bad. It's probably a bit of both. However I think put him in Chelsea's side last season, especially how they played 1st half of the season and he'd have done quite well.

Did he do anything really bad today? I only saw on fantasy football that he played 27 minutes, probably both as Keyser said though that team is so shit this year it's pretty hard to tell. I was expecting him to at least have a lot of assists too but with how shit Chelsea's striking options are that's probably too much to expect.

He didn't do much, Falcao was absolutely terrible. His decline is perhaps even worse than Fernando Torres'.

If only that cunt didn't decide to go and ruin his career at Monaco I dread to think what he could've achieved if he went to somewhere like Chelsea earlier.
