Lots of young English players have gone abroad in recent years and struck gold with their development. With examples set by the likes of Sancho, Bellingham etc. more and more players are open to giving the foreign leagues a go. Rightly so because it can offer a very good pathway to first team football at an early age. Nothing dubious about having left England to build a career elsewhere first before making the return as a ready-made first teamer but I'd still pass based on the injury record alone. 48 minutes ago, OneMoSalah said: Wow. Well lets see. I mean why do any young English players play abroad? To develop…. I suppose the same statement re why aren't any/other English teams being interested in said player or players who are up and coming/promising/good can be said of Marcus Edwards at Sporting Lisbon who is a pretty good player, Fikayo Tomori at AC Milan, Tammy Abraham at Roma, even guys like Etienne Green at Saint-Etienne and Stephy Mavididi in France too? Who are maybe not at the top tier but are also making pretty decent names for themselves at a reasonable level? Or do all good English/British players have to be linked to every top English club to be considered good? Good god. Jesus, take it easy. You’d think I just insulted your mothers or something. I’m not suggesting that he’s shit because he isn’t at one of the elite English clubs. I’m just curious why he’s not in England altogether, be it at a small club or big one and why I haven’t even heard of him until just a few days ago. Usually you see these exciting English talents in the Championship and lower half PL clubs will take punts in them. It’s just slightly unusual to see a talent like his abroad instead.

Pizy 19,286 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Not just saying this because I’m sour he’s going to Arse (since I didn’t want him anyways) but just watching footage of both Mudryk and Madueke I’m easily more impressed with Madueke. Both look like top talents but I don’t see anything “special” about Mudryk, just a solid wide player. The concerning thing I keep seeing over and over though is that he’s injured so often just like Mr Glass Christian Pulisic. mkh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mhsc 1,146 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Puzzled by Madueke - doesn't look any better than CHO or the bunch of players we've already got that aren't good enough for the top end of the premier league. Bumtrubbler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madueke is the kind of player you can take your chance with when you have a complete squad already. But no way we go for him when we are rebuilding and need impact immediately. This guy will spend more time with the doctors than in the training ground. Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 19,286 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I’ll wait to hear a price before I criticize, but yeah. Seems a strange buy at this moment in time. The two positions we are i the most dire need of right now (RB & midfield) we seem not to be prioritizing. Unless a true future superstar of a wide player was available in January like Leão and you had a chance at him I don’t know why we’re after anyone. Should just wait until we can move CP & Ziyech and see what our options are. Costa19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 1 hour ago, milka said: They are both bang average I think. Thuram looks impressive with his size and pace but he is basically the Pogba of forwards, or maybe the French Arnautovic. He does not play the game at 100% intensity consistently, he also has technical deficiencies and is far from clinical. Only this season he is on a bit of a clinical streak for the first time in his career but I hope we do not intend for him to be our main striker target. His contract runs out in summer so he will be relatively cheap and if he can be got on reasonable wages, try it by all means. I doubt he will decide to come here tho, Barca and Bayern are also sniffing around. He will also be more successful in those leagues where he can cominate defenders physically unlike in PL. This Noni chap I have not really seen but from what I hear he is quite injury prone, wasteful and technically incomplete as well. In other words fits in perfectly.

Superblue 6,372 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 I'm not necessarily advocating us signing Madueke but what he certainly does do, and I think we as a club lack massively, is carry the ball with pace and intent. I probably appreciate Willian a lot more now then I did when he was here because since he and Hazard moved on, we lack a player capable of doing this and it regularly leaves our attack looking so cumbersome and predictable. Felix did it a couple of times yesterday and it makes a huge difference (1) to getting the ball up the pitch quickly, and (2) opening spaces up in teams to exploit.

Bumtrubbler 6 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Chelsea need a striker. forget about every other position. i don't know what havertz is but it's not a striker full stop. a 20 a season goalscorer is what we should break the bank for. all the other dead wood (pulisic ziyek cho etc) can be shipped out & replaced over the summer. I've never seen a less clinical Chelsea team in my puff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(hopefully doesn't matter) It is another Dutch farmer's league buy. 2. (bigger) He is injured a lot. never has played more that 1000 league minutes in a season Superblue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
