Seems like very good business at that price. 8 minutes ago, MoroccanBlue said: When we bought Werner, there was loads of excitement but avid Bundesliga watchers informed us he would struggle in the Premier League and that based on our formation at the time (433) he would struggle even more being deployed as the sole ST or at LW. Ziyech was a smart buy (I still believe so) but he directly competed in Mount's role. He isn't a winger and that is where Lampard continued to play him. When we were linked with Havertz, 50% of us asked why and the other 50% said he was a generational talent, that was why. You can see there was no long term planning or thinking with buying our strikers. Virtually the same thing happened with Lukaku. The difference between signings requested by a manager & ones primarily motivated by the board. Edited January 28, 2022 by LAM09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our scouts are heavily invested in bringing in youth players into the academy. We need more of statistical/data analytics in regards to recruitment as that was what brought us Mendy.

Blues Forever 1,232 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) Lyon have reached an agreement with Tottenham for Giovani Lo Celso. It will be a loan without option to buy, Lyon will pay half of the player's wages. Lyon are set to sign Romain Faivre this month, Faivre wants to come and the transfer will be around €18m (including add-ons).

NikkiCFC 8,333 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I really admire AV ambition. Digne, Coutinho and now Bentancur in winter window. And spent over 350m last 3 summers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
