We can't rule out the possibility that this story has been placed precisely as part of a plan to depress Lukaku's transfer fee.

Hashishi 148 Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 113m transfer fee (over five years becomes 22.6m) + 12m yearly = 34.6m in amortisation yearly. If we sell this summer, his transfer fee crashes in for another 90.4m. I think he goes on another loan with an option to loan with option to buy. These figures are from Google and in Euros. We don't sell this fat bear until at least the 4th or fifth year of his contract. Even Inter don't need him anymore as they replaced him with Dzeko. Giroud is doing well with AC and Vlahovic the same with Juve. Osimhen is targeting his first title so Serie A is really popping with strikers atm and he is doing nothing.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Unpopular opinion but we should not sign Felix. He has already shown he is not worth 100m+. He is clearly a talented player and technically superior to most of our AMs but he also is exactly what we do not need. Another fancy second striker/pseudo no.10 with no real output, terrible finishing and squishy confidence. He embodies everything that is wrong with our attack. We need to get rid of all those fair weather players, nearly-scorers who like to play it easy on the eye and just don't bring it in front of goal cos the ball bounces unluckily last minute or there is a breeze or the fans are too loud. Even if we managed to dump Mount and Havertz, we would be replacing them with a player with the exact same shortcomings. There is also no need to sign a backup for Nkunku for 100m+. They will not fit into the same formation. Nkunku has to be flanked by pacey, direct wingers like Madueke and Mudryk, who hopefully are the future. Felix is not.

Hashishi 148 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 My take on the January buys: Enzo - Good player but we overpaid for him. I would've been chuffed had we got him for 60m as I think it's what he's worth) Mudryk - may be fast but we come up against a lot of low block teams, so what can he do with that pace. Not much it seems but time will tell. Felix - Our best player is someone on loan from Atletico. I don't know what to say about buying him because I don't know if he or Nkunku is better. Badiashile - Has potential to lead the back line in the future. Its a toss up between him and Colwill but both will be UCL level. Madueke - Bit of a donkey. Has very good physical attributes which I'm sure served him well in Eredivisie. Unfortunately does not have the tekkers that Gakpo has. DDF - A massive Donkey. I don't know what this guy offers to the team. I think he plays on the shoulder and Potter is using him to link up play. He also relies on pace in a league where he won't get space against low block teams. Gusto - Damn shame he got injured. Hope he's good as new by next season. This is the danger of loaning back and giving out long term contracts. Santos - I'm wary of a player who has only proven himself on the south American stage. But a loan to Portugal next year would be good, after that we can assess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegetable 830 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 I still have a gut feeling that Mudryk may have more problems with his mind, than his skill. He looks super dense, stressed and chaotic in everything he does on the pitch and the more it doesn't work, the more he is pushing, leading to more chaos. Funny, given we have just hired the super deluxe mentality coach. Hamilton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have spent that money on a midfield partner for Enzo in the next transfer window. Last Sicarius, Blue Armour and LAM09 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have buried that 1 on 1 chance he had in the game, even the commentator was shocked saying that Nkunku normally doesn't miss those, but we'll give him the benefit of the doubt on this occasion.
