CHELSEA fans have all been saying the same thing after the club announced the arrival of defender Benoit Badiashile.
The Frenchman joined the Blues on a seven-and-a-half-year contract in a £35 million deal from Ligue 1 side Monaco.

Some were pleased that the Chelsea defence would benefit from having another option for manager Graham Potter to pick from.
However, others were annoyed by the transfer, with many wishing the club had signed RB Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol.
One tweeted: “Chelsea every transfer window … we’re gonna sign world-class players! Gvardiol, Rice, Enzo Fernandez, Nkunku.
“Reality … Badiashile, probably some other Brighton player and Nkunku potentially in the summer
Another wrote: “We went from Abramovich to Boehly, Tuchel to Potter, Gvardiol to Badiashile, Enzo Fernandez to Mac Allister. But I’m supposed to trust the process.”
A third said: “Could have just waited for Gvardiol in the summer since we aren’t spending on Enzo anyway. Why do we even need Badiashile now?
“We won’t get top four and we (probably) won’t get relegated. Just stick to what we have instead of wasting money on mediocre players.”
A fourth added: “Going from Gvardiol to Badiashile FFS. Life under bottle job Boehly.”

The Croatian defender had been linked with a move to the West London side after impressing at the World Cup in Qatar.
But a move for him now seems unlikely following the arrival of Badiashile.
Gvardiol is also wanted by Manchester City and Real Madrid, with the La Liga side reportedly plotting a £78m bid for him.
