Or did we safeguard ourselves with a 6 month loan to see if he was actually up for it? we never bought him (thank fuck), but we did an insanely expensive loan + salary deal that cost us around £16.5m in toto for 6 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I won't mind such a deal for auba. We can take on his wages for a year and 7-8m in fees. It's definitely way better than this 30m fees and wages for 3 years. Think about having him when he is 36years old. Unbelievable how we are been duped. Ideally we should be no where near auba Edited August 18, 2022 by blahblahblah Strike, Hamilton, Blue Armour and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maravel21 36 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Ideally we would have signed Haaland , auba is an upgrade of Werner and I don’t care about the fee isn’t my money. As a change he will be a good player for one year .After one year he would be a good choice for our bench . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB - Silva, KK, azpi, LwB - chilwell, cucurella Rwb - James. Thats 6 players for 5 positions. Maybe 7 if we include RLC as a valid option for RWB. Chalobah is a solid player. Considering how old our CB options are as well as how thin we are, we should be looking to have him here.

Gallas, Ashley Cole, Fabregas and even Giroud have done well in our colours. We also need a finisher and he has premier league experience and has also worked with Tuchel before. This is a no brainier, Get Auba in!! Gallas wasn't ex gooner. He went there after Chelsea. 5 minutes ago, Blues Forever said: No way we are loaning him unless we sign a CB.

Fernando 6,585 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Serie A would be good. So his value can go up. Chelsea players tend to do good in Serie A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good thing is that James, Cucurella and Azpi are versatile players who can play in different positions. Should do ig.

Pizy 18,927 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 From the club’s POV I don’t think it makes sense to let Trev go on loan even if we do sign Fofana. We’ll need all the depth we can get at the back with this strange season we’re going to have. But from Trev’s POV I can absolutely see why he should go. Tuchel prefers 33 year old Azpi and now even Reece at RCB over him I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy needs confidence again, playing regularly and not as a backup. mkh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, i will dismiss his performances at the age of 30 because this is a striker who thrived on pace. Do you know the first thing that declines post 30? Your problem with the whole scenario is your dismissive attitude. I gave my opinion based on sound reasoning and you acted like it was blasphemy. And now all you are doing is changing goal posts when I have proven that Lukaku had a better record in the PL compared to the striker we are looking to get. Stop floundering and accept it for once. 278 games 121 goals. Seems I can write it down. Auba 92 goals 168 games. Do the maths u haven't proved nothing.

We have only KK for LCB with Cucu a very unfortunate backup. Only KK and Thiago can play CCB and they ideally play both. What we are doing this window for CB position is reckless and naive. The best business done was actually unvoluntarily by missing out on useless Ake and Kounde. In fact if we sell Trev we would need two buy two more CBs. Despite all the complaining and advertising we would buy 2-3 cbs we are now net still now net one cb shorter than we were last year while also having lost quality. If we consider Trev only capable of palying RCB and bring in Fofana, fine we can loan him but that still does not help us with us with the problem at ccb and lcb. we can not expect anyting from the season if we effectively have 4 players for 3 positions James or Cucureall a being able to paly cb or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,927 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 If De Jong was moving I think it would’ve happened long ago. Think it’s pretty crystal clear that he’s staying. They’ll send us Auba, Memphis will go, and that’ll then allow them to sign Alonso and register Koundé. FdJ will stay put. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the maths u haven't proved nothing. I have not? I have proven that Lukaku is one of the best goal scorers around and definitely has a better track record than auba in the near past I have proven that my nick has got nothing to do with my opinion as you had so vehemently suggested in your first take. At the end of it all, nothing, nothing makes sense about this transfer. It's one problem for another. Both players were good strikers (one of them still in prime, another definitely past it). One of them of 30 years old, another 33 and relies far more on pace. Giving auba a 3 year deal while paying him astronomical wages as well as paying Barca 30m€ and helping them in their crisis is one of the instances of the worst pieces of business out there in the footballing world. Also, i would really like to know your source. Because as per transfermarkt, auba has scored only 68 PL goals. So need to check your facts BEFORE doing any maths mate.
