Alternatively all three of them had him for a year and didn't want to keep him
He looked beyond terrible when he played in the Premier League. That performance at Watford is one of the worst I've ever seen at this level.
He did look poor in the Premier league, but he has been good since, and was good before Chelsea too. I think the 40mill fee put off all three clubs who are hardly rolling in the cash at the moment,
We can hardly be picky at the moment, we're skint, and i think we'd get him on loan or at a reduced fee, he fits the profile as being a N'Diaye max, he was a regular for Napoli last season, a side that came 5th in Serie A, i'd certainly prefer us to sign him over Yokuslu.
Bakayoko's manager at Monaco,
Leonardo Jardim, said: "He wins a lot of balls, brings balance to the team. He passes the ball well and wins his duels. That is Bakayoko's role."
France manager
Didier Deschamps described Bakayoko as "a complete midfielder", and said: "He has an important athletic presence, he's good at recovery, he scores decisive goals and is able to project himself."
His manager at Milan,
Gennaro Gattuso, said that Bakayoko plays as a deep-lying midfielder in an atypical way, because sometimes prefers to point and go past the opponent instead of launching the ball, so creating a numerical advantage in favour of his team.
