Reddish-Blue

He was one of the brighter talents in the French league and the transfer fee was around 30 million. The problem for Enzo will always be that inflated price tag. As soon as he has a run of games where he isn't having that big impact, he'll be called a flop.

Player power, although I'm not sure what benefit Paez gets out of this, he's not listed in the squad for the first phase of the tournament.

This just sounds like a player with a massive ego, publicly stated that he was disappointed at not going to the CWC and then days later, the club allows him to go the CWC.

I'd take him back at Chelsea, think he was our youth captain a few years ago, 24 years old, would fit in with the current age profile of Caicedo, Enzo, Cucurella, Palmer, Reece. However, I get the feeling Spurs/Arsenal may get him before us.

Imagine if Wirtz ends up not getting 20+ goal contributions next season after that transfer fee 😁

Thought Pogba was around 100m at that point in time, then Antony was high 90's, Maguire was 85.

I wonder if its the lack of interest in our first team GK's that is stopping us from getting Maignan? Haven't seen any decent links for Sanchez or Jorgensen and both of them can't stick around as #2 next season....

We're only doing what Italian clubs do to us, when they come and take our players on cheap loans with no obligation to buy.

Romano about to tweet "Chelsea have signed another unknown youngster" 😆

They rejected a decent offer for him and they are holding out for the fee they want (closer to 50 million) From what I've seen in their transfer history, they tend to sell players for decent profits every season as they are pretty good at picking up replacement talents. Dembele, Pulisic, Haaland, Bellingham, Sancho being the biggest sales in the past few seasons.

I just don't like the fact that we have an ex-Spurs youth captain in our first team.

You would think AC Milan have someone lined up to replace him as he rejected the contract extension they offered earlier in the season. They want 20, we offered less, will probably end up settling around that 16-ish mark.

Seemed very much like a mix and match lineup by Tuchel Good for us that Madueke's in form, hopefully gets us a nice transfer fee

So that would mean its not happening.

Only 1 natural wide player out of the three, would be interesting to see how Amorim fits them together with Amad.

That depends on Arsenal and Liverpool's transfers. If either of them were able to pull off the Isak transfer, that would be the best signing of the window.

Imagine if we were able to pull off Felix in the other direction and getting the Benfica CB, that would be a solid transfer!

After seeing Werner (even though he did help the side in that UCL run) and Nkunku flop here, I wouldn't be going after another Bundesliga striker...particularly for that sort of fee.

On this one occasion, I hope Liverpool get him. Don't see how getting Ekitike helps us at all. 3 young strikers on the books and Palmer to score 20+ next season? Its a shame that Brentford striker chose United, he would have been a useful option, PL proven.

Its funny how someone was pointing out on twitter that if you look at his stats from last season in the league (and take his name out), no club would pay 100 million for that. 6 goals, 5 assists in the league.

Hopefully we reinvest that money into CB.

Seems a bit overkill to have Neto, Madueke, Quenda, that Brazilian wonderkid coming over and looks like we're all over Gittens...

So we have 4 GK's, 1 of them is keen for a move after a good French League loan, 2 of them aren't good enough to be first choice and the 4th I assume is the young keeper we got from Belgium (who is still multiple years away from being ready). 😆

Seems like we're just hoarding young talents, hoping that 1-2 develop into useful players. Similar case with Veiga, was brought in to be the squad LB, then fell out with Maresca, went on loan, Juventus don't want him on permanent and now we're stuck with another player that needs to be sold or loaned out.

He's more than a backup level talent That's if we get him, apparently he's friends with the Liverpool midfielder Gravenberch (if that's how you spell it)
