Superblue 6,372 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 A couple of points on this UEFA change: 1. Although it affects future FFP accounting on transfers, I don't see the club changing it's ways. I still see younger players being signed up to longer contracts. The ability for English clubs to do this over European rivals is still an advantage to get players locked in. Would still not be surprised to see 6, 7, 8 year contracts still in the future at the club. 2. We've already got a leg up - maybe Chelsea were aware this may happen hence why activity in January has ramped up. 3. Wouldn't be surprised if Chelsea end up reaching an agreement on Gusto and Enzo, but to let them go back on loan for the rest of the season to help smooth the transfer. In fairness having them longer term is more important than the next 6 months and if it aids us securing them and making use of the loophole now then so be it.

If the ONLY way to get those two is to loan them back until summer I’d do it. But Enzo and Gusto are two players that would help us massively in the Champions League this season. We get Reece and Kante fit, Mudryk and Félix settle well, and if we sign Enzo I’d fancy us against anyone. Winning the thing this seasons will be our only way to CL footy next year. May as well go all out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since he has been here, I hope some young players or new signings man up and force him on the bench, but not really.. Zouma, Christensen, Koulibaly, Chalobah, Fofana.. Nobody has been any close to him yet.. (Not to forget though, Thiago didn’t peak at 21 aswell, he played in Russia at a young age and hasn’t started very good at Milan either) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe not, they need to have been at the club for a period of time before qualifying for this list. I may be wrong but as an example I don't think Carney is on our B list because he joined in the summer, whereas Broja was/is on the B list.

DDA 10,271 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I'm not even entertaining the Enzo rumours. I can't deal with the heartbreak... I'm still ignoring the way we went about it in the first place. MoroccanBlue, Pepic95 and Vesper 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
