Maybe a bit too harsh, he did not do this deliberately. Yellow Card would have been alright too, don't you think?

McAllister tried to clear the ball, but hit his opponent on the bottom of the foot and the referee sent him off for that. I think it was comprehensible, but harsh.

Here is a video to McAllister's red card. Look at it and judge the situation by yourself. A yellow card would have been decent as decision, my opinion. You can see the foul in 1:47.

The overreaction from the player on the receiving end does not help…Secondly, I can understand why the red was shown because of the raising and how high the foot was raised, and lastly since it’s the back of the boot to which it’s the stud there’s every chance that if he were to trod or stamp that is a leg breaker in a sense although this maybe rescinded I don’t understand why the video assistant referee didn’t intervene himself to see if it’s worthy of a overturn.

Rival fans will make fun of the Endo signing because he's cheap (by Chelsea spending standards) and 30 and they haven't heard of him.

However, captain of Japan and was for Stuttgart and the regular German viewers seem to speak highly of Endo. I'm sure we had a list of 10-20 names for a midfielder and no doubt Caicedo and Lavia were near the top. Not sure how many places down Endo was but it is what it is. At least the club finally made a decision on a transfer - instead of putting it off for the last 2-3 summers by not doing anything.

Funnily lots of fans would have happily spent £50-90mil to sign Palhinha from Fulham (who they bought from Portuguese league last summer for £20mil), even though he had little pedigree when Fulham signed him and he's only 18 months younger than Endo.

No doubt it's a stopgap signing which might tie us over for 1-3 seasons but that gives us time to develop Bajcetic and look at other options that will come up next summer. Or it might be Andre from Fluminense in January.
