I get the fact ppl want him here as a back up winger, but honestly he has still not shown me why he should stay few little moments and what eles?  He gets the ball stands still passes backwards 95% of the time 

Yeah, he's very similar to Willian in that regard. He almost always gets the ball when he's standing still and tries to beat his marker from that position which is much harder. It's pretty frustrating.

I don't want to keep so much for what he is currently, I just want to avoid another Salah or KDB where we let go of a super talent too soon. If he goes to Germany and develops into a monster we will look like total idiots again.

Tbf sick of hearing if this guy wants to stay or doesn’t and Frank’s constant non definitive answers don’t help. Just ask him Frank. Straight up. Your the manager. Not the kit man. Fuck sake.

Played a good second half to be fair to Callum but if he wants to make it here or at any other top club, he has to play like that from the start not one half.

Guy is young, have patience with him. 

I don't want to sell him, a loan okay, but no sell option. 

However we can use him this season, we have a lot of games, so hopefully he decides to stay. RLC is the one that needs to go!

A lot of cash. But an option to buy is not really that good for us. I can see Bayern using CHO couple of times and then give them back to us without using their option to buy lol.

70 million. Thats how much Byern value his potential. That should ring alarm bells to all those who want to sell him. Byern rarely get things wrong.

[Pizy 18,859]

Wow, that's a lot of money. I figured they would try to cheap out and offer half that just to turn his head.

Yes, but Bayern have the upper hand on this deal. If CHO plays bad, they pay nothing and send CHO back to us. If he delivers, they get a new player that fits their system

I know it's an option to buy but it's 70 million...

This is an odd way of thinking. Why not just appraise what you want of CHO independently of big club rumours. This same principle could apply to that Inter Milan were linked with Emerson, Barce and Madrid a few seasons ago linked with Alonso. It hardly changes my opinion of the player.

 

Regardless, players like Renato Sanches, Arp, Odriozola and Cuisance just in the last few years discount the already illogical myth that Bayern ‘never get it wrong’ with young talent. Or that a young talent can go to Bayern and somehow is therefore destined to be world class. They’ve just spent £80m on Luis Hernandez for him to be a back-up (at best) LB, third choice (at best) CB. They’re a well run club, but not some infallible work of nature. If they’re offering £70m for CHO I think we are the winners in that. If we offered £70m for a 19 year old winger who just has not shown any consistent top-level quality in his senior career I would be against the move 🤷🏿‍♂️

 

Edit: I guess the £70m fee makes good headlines but thinking about the nuance of the deal it is actually smart move if Bayern for it (and not great for us). As others have implied, if he actually performs then they get a good player for £70m. If he doesn’t no issue, he just comes back to us. So it is just a low risk gamble. So to maybe change the final analogy in the above comment I wouldn’t mind if we got some random young talent on a loan to buy offer for £70m. As it is low risk. But I still don’t agree with the train of thought that because Bayern are interested, that means CHO is good. I’ll think he’s good when he starts showing consistent high level performances for us!

Yeah, appears our board aren't suckers who would agree to a buy option rather than an obligation luckily.

I just said an hour ago that I'd keep him but if we can't get them to pay a guarneteed £70m I'd let him go and sign either a DM or maybe Benrahma to directly replace him.

[Special Juan 28,111]

70M do it.

[killer1257 3,282]

They got James on loan and they did not trigger the option to buy for James, which was around 45 million Euros. They will do that to us for CHO
