Vesper 30,175 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I never wanted Ziyech, I was always aginst buying him donkey farmer league flat track bully with major attitude issues for years and too old when we bought him he turns 30yo next season, so his value is already way dropping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets be fair here. Another of the big arguments was he played with a CF at Leipzig, Lukaku is a CF yet hes rarely featured with him. I said last season I felt Tuchel would lose faith in him and I think the signs couldn’t be clearer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 On 01/10/2021 at 00:34, Blues Forever said: Not saying Werner is happy to play second fiddle to Lukaku because he clearly isn't but good luck to finding a decent backup to Lukaku that will be happy to just sit on the bench and collect the wages every week. If Tuchel is just gonna play Lukaku through heaven and hell every week, then we'll have the same issue like Spurs did when they couldn't find anyone decent to be the backup ST because they have Kane. As for Werner and his situation, hardly a surprise to see that story (though a bit convenient of Matt Law to run it after back-to-back losses). If the same happens with the others, then Werner wouldn't be the only one looking to leave. There were the same stories, for example, about Pulisic towards the end of last season. That said, Matt Law's premise of the story seems to be revolve around Lewandowski going to PSG and Haaland leaving Dortmund. If Lewandowski stays at Bayern, then what? Werner may have succeeded under Nagelsmann but if Lewandowski is still there, he'll remain as their #1 striker and Bayern also have the likes of Sane, Gnabry, Muller, Coman etc on the wings. Plus, the sporting director - Hasan Salihamidzic - who previously turned down Werner is still there. If he/they didn't want Werner when he was flying high, it's highly debatable that he/they would want him now, even if his former manager is there. As for Dortmund, unless Werner is just desperate to play, then it's kinda unlikely he would go there since he said he joined us to win trophies and Dortmund don't really win trophies, apart from maybe the DFB Pokal. On top of that, I believe it was pointed out here recently, Dortmund have never spent more than €30 million on a player. So will they spend more than that on Werner? Recent German reports didn't report Werner on Dortmund's target list and there's also the fact Werner is earning big wages. If those two clubs aren't possible, then what?

Fulham Broadway 17,313 Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Most managers would play them together - can be a dynamic duo in this climate of one up front ala Dixon/Speedie Hutch/Ossie, Hasselbaink/Gudjohnsen - no brainer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,175 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 (edited) https://football-observatory.com/IMG/sites/b5wp/2021/wp350/en/ Issue number 350 of the Weekly Post presents the estimated squad transfer values of the 98 teams in the big-5. The figures were calculated on the basis of the exclusive CIES Football Observatory algorithm. The two teams having invested the most to sign their current players, Manchester City and Manchester United, also are at the top of those with the highest estimated squad value. The Manchester teams would potentially collect more than €1.2 billion in transfer indemnities if they decided put all their current squad members on the market. Chelsea completes the podium with an estimated squad value of €946 million. Barcelona heads the rankings in the Spanish Liga (€896M), Bayern Munich in the German Bundesliga (€890M), Paris St-Germain in the French Ligue 1 (€808M) and Juventus in the Italian Serie A (€618M). The estimated transfer value of all English Premier League players totals €8.9 billion (€445M per team on average). For the other leagues of the big-5, these figures are €5.3 billion for the Spanish Liga (€263M per club), €4.5 billion for the German Bundesliga (€251M), €4.4 billion for the Italian Serie A (€222M) and €3.4 billion for the French Ligue 1 (€172M). The individual estimates for all big-5 league players are available here.

ZAPHOD2319 4,818 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 If you have never heard of Pepi, he has been a treat. He took the field the last international break and lit it up. 18 years old and he named Chelsea as the club he would like to go to now. https://theathletic.com/2866607/2021/10/06/this-is-ricardo-pepi-the-usmnts-dynamic-mexican-american-teen-forward-turning-heads-worldwide/ Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly it showed no hint that this lad might be a special talent. I'm not saying he isn't, just saying that the video is an insufficient sample of his capabilities.
