That they did but there was no guarantee Batshuayi would have been successful in the longer term. He did well in the few months he was there, just like Alcacer did initially. IIRC, only Crystal Palace, who we loaned Batshuayi to, was open to taking him with the last few years, which says a lot.

That is if Lampard permanently puts him there. Otherwise, I doubt it going by his comments.

For all the talk of Kante, I highly doubt we will sell him, unless a club decide to offer 100 million+ for him, which may force the club to think. We just gave him a new contract not too long ago and Lampard has praised him to the heavens at every opportunity.

That is debatable especially when Batshuayi has practically been rejected by so many managers in the last few years. Conte, Sarri, Marcelino, Favre, Lampard. A sign that he is simply not good enough for any club that has big ambition.

Good luck trying to get that price reduced with Marina in charge.

LOOOOOOOOL

Sorry, it's now changed. Your login info remains the same.

You had to go to the Morata route, don't you? One thing Werner has over Morata is that he's a lot mentally stronger and that is already a BIG plus. Plus, Morata has scored only 80 goals in 11 seasons (ELEVEN!) of top flight football while Werner has scored 106 goals in 7 seasons, with 92 of those coming in the last 4 seasons with RB Leipzig. Inclined to agree with you otherwise. He could perhaps do with simpler finishes at times I think, like go for placement shots instead of going for power shots for example. But IF all goes well, he'll play under a manager who knows a thing or two about finishing chances. So, that might well help.

In your opinion, why do you think he misses so many clear chances? Is it a mental thing or a technique thing or bit of both?

He'll definitely fit right in.

Either that is true or United's PR team are doing a "great job"...

Lampard and Cech traveled to Germany before the whole pandemic blew up in Europe and the countries went into lockdown.

Here...

Matt Law with the latest on Werner. No mention on the medical stuff that has been going around... https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2020/06/12/chelsea-putting-final-touches-move-sign-timo-werner/ Chelsea are putting the final touches on their move to sign Timo Werner from RB Leipzig ahead of an anticipated announcement. As exclusively revealed by Telegraph Sport last week, Werner has agreed to join Chelsea after head coach Frank Lampard and technical performance advisor Petr Cech made a secret trip to Germany to hold talks with the forward before the coronavirus lockdown. Werner has a reported £53million release clause in his RB Leipzig contract and it is understood that Chelsea are now in advanced talks with the German club over how the deal will be structured. All parties are confident the transfer will go through shortly with just a few details to be sorted out between the clubs before they can agree when to make an announcement. Leipzig are not on the German stock exchange, which means they and Chelsea can choose a mutually beneficial time to officially announce Werner’s move. Chelsea’s players are convinced Werner, along with February signing Hakim Ziyech, will join the club in plenty of time for next season.

...aaaaaaand he's now deleted the tweets.

ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE ME GO JUMP OFF A BUILDING?! I'm inclined to agree with you because I mentioned that previously but Tomo did point out that if the Champions League was a deal breaker for him, he wouldn't have agreed a deal with us, as reported by so many outlets.
