If the multi team model happens in 2023, we will be able to get a lot of these young players first team starting minutes in other leagues.

Hearing this lad is receiving the same hype as Odegaard and Haaland. Only 10m. 

Hopefully a sign of things to come from our new recruitment team.

Yes although I believe the recent changes in loan rules would impact us being able to buy talent and park too many into other clubs for a year or two on loan. Isn't there a rule with regards to being able to loan a number of players to the same team at one time?

In any event, I'm guessing though where the multi club model works well is it gives us effectively first dibs on top talent at a fair value, in the same way that Salzburg and Leipzig have operated (think Sesko was being touted in the summer at £40m and then Leipzig agree a deal for next year at half the price). In return these clubs are benefitting from our scouting and recruitment experience and expertise to bring in top young talent cheap and develop them. So as an example maybe a Portuguese or French club buys a player like Fofana and develops him for a couple of years and if he reaches the level his potential expects, then we might be able to buy him for £20-25m rather than being shafted with a £40-50m price tag like seems to be the norm nowadays.

People can turn their noses up at a multi club model and question the ethics behind it, but in the current and evolving climate of football, I believe it could form part of an extremely solid business plan.

This is what I'm saying about Leao. He might have good attacking stats but does he track back? People laugh at us because we big up Mount's workrate but it was because of his crap workrate that fat Rom failed here. It remains to be seen if he could improve this aspect of his game, but are we willing to drop 70-100m to help teach him to track back? Unpopular opinion: I would prefer Zaha on a free rather than another multimillion flop.

Edit: An exception to this was Hazard but he was good enough to build the team around him so he wouldnt have to track back, similar to how Leao/Giroud are at Milan. Is he good enough to build our team around him though?

He failed here because he is a below par footballer.

Chelsea ready to make concrete attempt to sign £67m player who Arsenal are annoyed with

https://www.thechelseachronicle.com/transfer-news/report-Chelsea-ready-to-make-concrete-attempt-to-sign-67m-player-who-arsenal-are-annoyed-with/

Reports from Italy have claimed that Chelsea are ready to make a concrete attempt to Dusan Vlahovic from Juventus.

According to Corriere Dello Sport, the Blues are prepared to rival their fellow Premier League sides for the striker who has recently been seen scoring at the World Cup.

[ZAPHOD2319 4,942]

Always great to have a player that is not shy about wanting to be here.

 

[ZAPHOD2319 4,942]

And now for the bad transfer rumor of the day.

 

[DDA 10,204]

Gvardiol is good but not 130mil good. An aged Messi skinned him with 55 pace ffs.

🙂

It's most likely fake news, Di Marzio said it's us and Madrid.

That's around £112, 113m (pound is down v the euro today)

and is not just straight money

I already said he was worth £100m or a bit over, so hardly a shock, the bloke is 20 years old and already this good

and that Messi move was one thing out of hundreds of other interaction all WC long, Gvardiol was immense in all games, and even Beckenbauer and Maldini got spun the wrong way many times

There has been a lot made out of that Messi dribble, but he held him up and forced him to the right, which is what you do to a left footed player. The problem was nobody came to support him and then nobody marked the run.

yes, here are so many angles, it was hardly an 'OMG did you see that, he sat him on his arse!' moment

 

[MoroccanBlue 5,399]

He didn’t really do anything wrong tbf. Just Messi’s center of gravity and close control bested him. 

[Hashishi 148]

Gvardiol is not coming here. All of Europe is after him and we don't have guaranteed UCL to offer him next season. Let's talk about realistic targets please.

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

Nah Messi completely sent him to fetch toast. No shame in that but was an obvious mistake by Gvardiol to be sold this easy to the inside route and IMO shows that he is not as good as his hype yet. Whether he is worth 100m on potential is another question.
