Georgy 439 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I think on Redcafe I read about him, most United fans want him not sure why his stats are nothing special. I prefer Malcom to be honest. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
It's too big 625 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I don't see us signing a wide attacker when we already have Willian and Pedro, and include Musonda in that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OneMoSalah 7,587 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 One thing he has is real pace. Unsure about much else not seen a lot of him. Not a massive goal scorer either looking at stats but a 20 y/o wide player maybe not most important thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
!Hazard! 3,393 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Could he play as a wingback? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hamilton 1,941 Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 No, at least not when he was at Genk. Imo he’s overrated and should be nowhere near our first team. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Yes please! Has all the tools to be a fantastic player! Would welcome him to Chelsea with open arms... I mean I am Jamaican so bias alert but I've been tracking him since before Genk and his growth as a footballer has been immense. You play him on the right of a front three and you will have Hazard lite in that role. Quick, tricky, good passer, excellent technique, great finisher too.

How is he in the final third compared to Willian? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ask your mates how much would they pay for him? Even if it rises to 30m, in this market that's a small pinch for the potential he possesses. He's a finisher on the final 3rd very good close control and clinical with his left. This is precisely the type of player Chelsea need to buy, we Aren't going all in for attackers who are readymade bonafide stars, just can't afford to do it anymore. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thor 1,521 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Exactly the type of player we need. Someone who actually runs at defences and forces them to react. Our team currently is content with passing the ball around the outside and waiting. Moses is the only one who actually tries to run at defences but he really isn't cut out for it unless the gaps are there. I was told how average Sane was before he went to City, and how we wouldn't need him, and you look at him on that City team and what a game changer he is... Don't want to let another opportunity slip. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Who is to say we can get him for a decent sum instead of those absurd fees? Also why would they even entertain on selling him for that sum, for example Monaco is quoted for wanting 80 mil for Lemar.

Stats 6,674 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Man, this player is a talent. He caused Bayern's defence so much problems. His dribbling pace, directness, trickery and balance is excellent. Has a very good shot on him too. I hope there is a video compilation for his performance against Bayern. Terrorised their defence. Probably one of the fastest players in Europe, I am sure off too and he is only getting better. Fellow Jamaican too 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Can't imagine he will be at Leverkusen much longer. We are talking about a player who is just 20 and taking the league by storm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magic Lamps 9,946 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I would be all over this but it just does not feel like a chelsea signing...makes too much sense i guess. And as for overrated, sure therr is some hype but most neutral bundesliga pundits deem him the best attacking winger in germany this season. He has brutal pace, is direct, still only 20, can shoot a bit and is left footed so how much overhyped can he be. We have been in need for a left footed attacker for ages now. I am not sure where he would fit in if we were to continue playing 352 (maybe second striker when hazard is injured or move hazard to no 10) which imo we should not anyway. In a 343 or any system with true wingers he could flourish. He can easily start over pedro or willian. I recently read two articles over him in german press. Bayer sporting Director Rudi Völler said at some size a bid will be hard to reject and from context of the interview siggested hat bid would be 50m 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
