cosmicway 1,333 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 6 hours ago, Vesper said: not free, his release clause (which had a fixed fee of €60m OR £54m) had to be paid the fee in pounds was set when 60m euros equalled £54m, and was not a floating (at current FOREX) rate many reports looked at the 60m euros and just did a real time conversion to pounds, thus yielding £51.5m, but this was not the case Well, 150m - 60m = 90m saved plus whatever Haaland costs as a free player. The reason was Lukaku who failed us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 19,288 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Think Ziyech would struggle just as badly in the United side as he does here. So if we could get a nice little fee from them I wouldn’t actually mind. Stops them getting someone better. Look at how Sancho has looked since joining them.

How is the club planning to replace Werner, Ziyech and CHO? None of the alternatives seem like upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuchel wanted an overhaul Matt Law now says that we will indeed press for Auba. Not sure how I feel about that. A striker that’s going to depend entirely on chances being served up to him on a plate. If you watch pretty much every goal he scored at Barca they come from fantastic service that seemed to mostly consisted of great Dembele crosses.

Superblue 6,372 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 2 hours ago, Vesper said: That list should raise alarm bells immediately because how many of those were deemed a success? Granted a couple could still turn things around, and a couple like Neymar for example haven't exactly been flops but beyond Mbappe and maybe Bale, can you really argue any of the rest have been successful buys? You only have to then look at Chelsea's own list for most expensive attacking buys in our history and it's littered with disaster after disaster. I'd much rather see a couple of well thought out and scouted buys for attacking positions than splashing out big again.

Pizy 19,288 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Auba signing for me feels a lot like Higuain. Will probably score a handful of goals but isn’t going to change our fortunes at all. Underwhelming. Not many other options, though. Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDA 10,248 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Why can't our scouts do their fucking job and find a gem out of nowhere? Surely there is one out there somewhere. bigbluewillie, Boycie and Vesper 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely there is one out there somewhere. Probably are gems out there. But if we’re going to be splashing mega money on Fofana and perhaps De Jong I doubt we’d also have tens of millions to spend on some up and coming young talent that the selling club won’t want to let go of. If we sort out the rest of our squad I’m fine with a stopgap striker. Just not so sure about Auba. Muzchap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ulvhedin 526 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Even if CHO will stay, the bench of Broja, Pulisic, CHO doesn't seem too trustworthy, especially considering the fact that Havertz doesn't look like first XI player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
