Spinazzola suffers serious ruptured Achilles injury, could be out for months

Just wow

 

In the blink of an eye his emerging golden era is gone, perhaps for good

 

Life is short and the emergence from the mists of the summit climb grants a time at the peaks which is far too fleeting

 

savour it whist the whip is in your hand

Big blow to the Azzurris. He is certainly to be on sidelines atleast 3-6 months.

And for Jose. Spinazzola and Florenci would be great backs/wing backs for him.

Barella is indeed a beast. Small guy but fights like a lion. Still salty that we didn’t manage to snag him when Sarri was here and we were heavily linked. Probably an untouchable for Inter now.

I really hope the club/Tuchel’s thinking isn’t giving RLC or Barkley that roster spot. They’ve had chance after chance to prove they’re good enough and they just aren’t. They’re midtable players. If that’s what’s going to happen I’d have just kept Billy who’s better than both.

 

It’s decisions like that that tends to lead to zero sympathy when it leads to managers getting sacked. 
 

Neither can play in the pivot thankfully

Enter Drinkwater.

Dont worry about striker alternatives to Haaland, we are going to get him with a huge bid, the club knows it's this window or nothing.

Finding it less and less likely now. Dortmund would probably kill their chance at a CL spot if they sold he and Sancho both.

Dortmund were going to sell Sancho Chelsea knew this

Err, is it a good thing if the value goes up for an unwanted player? That would just mean less clubs can afford in signing him.

This sounds like a confusion of value with price. The scenario being discussed is of a player performing well on the international stage so that his value increases in the eyes of potential buyers. This may, or may not, lead to an increase in his price. It may simply mean that buyers who were not previously prepared to meet the demands of the player and of the selling club are now willing to do so.

An increased value can only help a player seeking to move and his club if they are seeking to sell.

Yes, and because of that they probably know that Haaland ain’t happening now. Otherwise we’d probably hear about discussions with his agent or some sort of indication that things are moving. Reports a few days ago said that we weren’t even in contact with him.

If I had to bet the club is probably working on backup plans right now for a stopgap until next summer. Whether that’s a striker or a midfielder of some sort.

Hashishi's subsequent post then was referring to the price of the player.

And even if it's the performance of a player, there's this...

I don't see how playing 1-2 games is gonna make a difference now. It's not as if the Italian clubs do not know him by this point.

Isn't that what everyone seems to be doing every day here, even when there's been nothing?

What seems clear is that Dortmund have made it clear that they won't sell Haaland this summer. Unless we throw some crazy money in to try and convince them, highly doubt they will move away from their stance.

Your comment about one or two games not making a difference is 100% correct. Your comment that a player's value being increased can damage the chances of his being transferred is not however. It is to that comment which I replied.

In general, it's not.

But in our case, it could be because we want to sell the deadwoods and say if their price goes up, then it's less likely that clubs will be able to afford them, especially during this pandemic.

You need to think harder about this. You have it completely wrong. Focus on the difference between a price and a value. Any seller can place any price on any item. That item's value is not determined by its price however. Rather it is determined by what buyers are prepared to pay for it. When an item's value increases in the eyes of the buyer that is ALWAYS a good thing for the seller(s).

Chelsea want to sell Emerson's registration for a transfer fee while the player wants to sell his services for a salary. If at least one club is prepared to pay more today to Chelsea, to Emerson or to both, than they were willing to pay yesterday, then that is only a good thing for the sellers.

Are we serious ? We are considering this Lewis as an alternative to Haland ? Tuchel has gone nuts if this is true or gambling big time and putting his ass on the line.

But my point is an increase in price on a deadwood is not good in the current circumstances. If a club want to suddenly fork out say 30 million for Emerson, then great! But in reality, we know that's not going to happen because we're in a pandemic, a lot of clubs are trying to save money. At the end of the day, it comes to down whether clubs can match the asking price of the club for the player. If not, they'll just move onto the next target.
