Bad signing all things considered. Always has been.
Is that why our squad suddenly is championship standard since Sunday according to AM?No, it has been said here since the beginning of the season that we should have brought in a real striker. I doubt even Havertz know where his best position is.
Mind you Havertz played 2 out of 3 seasons at Chelsea as their 9. This is Palmer's first full season at senior level.
Our funding of Havertz (not a good 9 or a good 8) helped get them Palmer.
8 penalties or something for Palmer though, which is a bit of a joke. I've said it from start of the season though, I'd rather Palmer than Kai any day of the week. Penalty merchantry aside (which isn't a bad thing at all just requires context) he's more what I like to see in attacking players.
We've managed to dress Kai up to not make him a laughing stock and he's got his goals against Sheffield and Burnley, but really we didn't need him. He has something about him but he's not good nor worth the money.
Lampard scored 22 goals in his 09/10 double winning season under Ancelotti, 10 of those 22 goals were penalties.
Havertz has not solved our issues as a 9 nor in midfield so we spunked precious resources on a reject, yet Arsenal fans want to give Arteta £200m+ once again.... how about he makes use of Vieira a signing he made?
Our entire system has given Havertz a free role to score goals and box crash
At the end of the day Havertz is a White German so we should be able sell back to Bundesliga and get some cash.
This place is pretty funny. Before Villa, we were 31 points from 33, Havertz bagging a G&A in most games. Now, after one game (where he performed pretty well) we should sell him?
Did the season start after Fulham? are we going to ignore the first 20 games of the season when dropped countless amount of points playing Havertz in midfield.
Was Havertz not poor in midfield away to Porto? Was he not poor vs Porto at the Emirates playing as a 9?
Was Havertz not involved in our F.A cup exit for failing to take his chances as a 9?
Was Havertz as a 9 not poor, how many shooting opportunities did he undertook, how many times did he test Nueur vs Bayern at the Emirates?
He doesn't solve our situation as a 9 nor as a left 8. The only option left is to play Havertz behind a physical striker as a SS

Chelsea are challenging for a top half table finish because of us? What were we thinking!Our funding of Havertz (not a good 9 or a good 8) helped get them Palmer.
People would've gone mental if Arteta's answer to our goalscoring worries before the season was Cole Palmer. Everyone's a genius in hindsight.
Questioning the Havertz signing is fair. I did that myself when we bought him. But comparing him to Palmer as if he should've been our target is disingenuous. Nobody saw Palmer's breakthrough coming. Among all the bad signing they did Chelsea simply lucked into one that was great.Nobody is saying this though are they. A lot of people did rightfully question the Havertz signing though, which is fair.
