So that's 2 Chelski loanees having an impact on the Premier League! How come we don't seem to manage a loanee gem?
I don't know, Swannie
The ones we've signed from Chelsea have been flops, or in Bate's case, nowhere near ready
Let's face it, Chelsea aren't going to do Leeds any favours.

Southampton have completed the signing of Rangers midfielder Joe Aribo on a four-year contract for a fee around £6m
I thought he was a left back or am I thinking of someone else?
I’m sure he played as a wing back during the Europa League campaign.
If it was him, I was quite impressed and for 6m might’ve been worth a punt.

Haven't seen Rangers play of late, so Aribo is unknown to me, Finn
Just checked, he's a forward & scored 18 goals in 90+ appearances for the Scottish club.

Was reading about him today. A very versatile player who could drop into the midfield as well. Lee Bowyer was critical of Aribo when he left England to go north saying it was a backward step in his career.
Looks a handy buy for the Saints now.

Another team destined for our mini league, the Saints losing 3-1 to one of Jesse's ex-clubs RB Leipzig.
Southampton are an interesting one for me this season. Could be a contender for the drop this next year as they've really flattered to deceive these past couple of seasons. Will be interesting to see if Gyabi comes up against Lavia in a game and to see if we got the right one.

Will be interesting to see if Ward-Prowse remains a Saints player, also Broja gone back to Chelsea, that's 20 of their goals gone from last season if WP moves on.
