For those asking why we even bought him in the first place, what were the alternatives at the time? Just coming off a CL win the club (rightly) figured we needed 1 last world class piece up top to complete our team. We were never going to pay the £175m or whatever it was PLUS mega wages for Haaland last summer and Tuchel/the club probably didn’t feel it was worth the risk to sign a kid like Vlahovic who was still a big risk at the time.

We wanted a striker in their prime years. Lukaku was coming off of a top season and had connections to the club already. It all made sense at the time. There wasn’t really any obvious long term alternative.

I'd just like to state it right now, I'm tipping my hat to those who shat on me when i cried wolf about this signing.

 

£92M plus huge wages......

Makes sense but 4 months in and it hasn't paid off at all and now doing shitty interviews. Not even been a year! Least give it a year before spouting of crap. Now case of winning people back..if can do that or piss off if it keeps going wrong. Except won't get the money back and another dud really.

Hopefully it'll okay off and this be forgotten but...as it stands...not the case.

You wait until the right signing comes along. Klopp could have panicked at his defense leaking like a sieve and signed anyone, he didn't and ended up with VVD and Alison.

And fans up till now anyway have been supportive. Singing his name and thag during games..not sure if thay will happen Sunday. Stupid stupid boy

[We Hate Scouse 10,326]

Hope he gets the reception he deserves on Sunday. Judas cunt, no better than Courtois or Gallas.

Dušan Vlahović

In his last 5000 minutes (so not even a full season and a half) of play for club and country, at only 20 and 21 years of age

Vlahovic has 46 goals and 8 assists

this whilst being on far from great teams as well

But he has been poor! If he had played well and said that maybe not sooo bad. But cause been piss poor and like said when been at games fans been so supportive! I dont understand his thinking..or lack of clearly. Urgh expensive idoit

[chelsea_4_eva 1,181]

When he signed i said that i would be happy with goals here and there from him, but the important thing i hoped for was that he not kick a fuss if things arent going his way ie not starter, adapt to the system, be a team player.. now only 6 months in.. damn...

[OneMoSalah 8,883]

Would say his Chelsea career is as good as close to over, when has the club ever kept unhappy players? Its funny though the video of the interview, he talks about Inter but now their probably doing just as well/better without him and their ultras clearly couldn’t care less.
