Looks like our interest in Sarr was already there back in 2017...

Chelsea confirm signing of Malang Sarr on a free transfer as Marina Granovskaia hails 'one we could not miss'... but he'll head straight out on loan with Bayer Leverkusen an option in a Kai Havertz deal sweetener

That did seem a good option when i read the official announcement that he'd be going out on loan. As long as the deal with Bayer 04 is not overly skewed in their favour, and they will actually play him, then this would look like a win win.

Bayer do not need him as a CB.
Maybe as a LB.

Sell alonso, keep him as 2nd LB.

Awesome deal. Exactly the kind of business I love. Low risk high reward. can not do any wrong with this one. Either walks into the team next year or a nice 20m+ profit.

Actually cant understand Sarr's POV here.

He was a decently hot property this window, must have known that. Links with a lot of mid-top german and italian clubs, even with Barca, everywhere he would have been in the first team squad if not the first team starter. Yet, chooses us and (apparently) the much dreaded loan system.

I mean, I am not complaining that he chose us, just wondering why?

Lampard talked to him and convinced him to join us. Had also other options

102 games in Ligue 1 already... For a 21 years old CB impressive..

Yeah, this looks like a good deal unless we have given him some sort of insane signing on fee and wages.

He's got the potential to be very good in the near future.  I would probably keep him around this season but I can see a point of view to sending him out on loan as well.  I kind of feel like it's a last chance season for several of our current center backs.  Next season will most likely be a major remodel of the center of our defense, so if he's on loan this year and playing regularly he'll be in good shape to come in and compete next season.  I think that's probably the reasoning behind loaning him out this season.

Lampard has become some sort of transfer whisperer at this point. That pull power is impressive

probably because we didnt bullshit him. And because we have much success with french, african and ligue 1 players in the past. 

IMO despite going on loan, he will play his part in the future. 

I loved we used to buy cheap and develop players couple years ago like Tibo, Kdb, Salah,..it sadly didnt work out because we didnt put enough trust, but that system worked brilliantly and we would have world class team by now. 

Was wondering why we stopped doing that...

Lets hope he does play a decent part for us in the future

quote of the week

from the Guardian Fiver email

 

Frank Lampard has also ended his day-long drought without a signing, with defender Malang Sarr joining on a free.

Any chance he stays ?

No, because average players like Christensen and Rudiger will block that pathway.
