As others have said - player of the season for us. I remember 1, maybe 2 games to find his feet, but after that he was fantastic for us, there is no re-writing that and Chelsea based their valuation on those performances.

Whether their valuation is a mistake or not doesn’t change what he did for us performance wise, and it’s irrelevant what Chelsea fans think of him.
I won't change my view. Good going forward, flaws defensively. Chilwell is better and we have upgraded with Pervis.

Not being as good as Chilwell or Estupinan doesn't preclude him from having been fantastic for us, flaws and all. Most of our players have flaws of some kind - doesn't stop them being fantastic for us though.

Not really, l think most of us thought that the time. He wasn't player of the season for no reason. Ok so the way he left the club left a bad taste in the mouth, and he has struggled since joining Chelsea, but there is still a very good player in there somewhere. You don't become a bad player overnight.

A deserved POTS that we broke the same day we broke Chelsea and Potter in that 4-1 drubbing!

It remains to be seen whether he recovers his form but from where I'm sitting he DID become a bad player overnight after the Amex drubbing.

I can't see him ever winning the Chelsea fans over. His best bet would be to return to Spain and sign for someone like Sevilla / Villareal / Atletico.

I was consistent on the following, before Cucu left.

Veltman was my POTS, a 7 to 9 ten in almost every 2021/22 game imho.

Cucu had a great start …. wow, we have insane pace down the left driving teams back. Then during our eternally shit months mid-season, Cucu was as culpable as anyone else, defensively weak. Finishing with a flurry, fantastic during those glorious final weeks.

Estupinan to me is a far better LB, the real deal. The highest accolade I can give him is “the Caicedo of full backs”.

And just got booked.

He obviously doesn't become a bad player overnight, but he's a shadow of what our POTS was.

Did you actually watch him play? I don't care what he has achieved at chelsea but for us he was a joy to watch. Our own proper left back. This position has been aw weak pont for us in history. Years of Mayo and like. Covered by good temporary loans of Ward and the brilliant Bridge.

As someone pointed out in the CL match thread this evening Cucu has been tainted by the Potter association in the eyes of a lot of Chavsea fans. He’ll surely have to move on in the summer if possible.
