Chelsea really should have thought through the unveiling of their new left-back a bit more

Poor Baba

We hope it’s not an omen.

Chelsea unveiled their new left-back this afternoon after a big money move from Augsburg, but his arrival has left us rather underwhelmed.

The club may have paid out over £21 million for Baba Rahman, but even for all that money they still couldn’t afford to bring him inside Stamford Bridge and get him a club scarf.

Instead they brought him outside and got him to stand in front a bench.

A Chelsea bench.

It’s a bit like that line from Back to the Future – “you better get used to these bars, kid”.

You can hear the facepalming from fifty miles away.

Though if they really wanted to be accurate they probably should have sent him to Arnhem for his unveiling.

In fairness to Chelsea, if Branislav Ivanovic keeps up his current form Baba Rahman will be in the side at left back in no time, with Cesar ‘Dave’ Azpilicueta.
