The award honors the best player in Europe, with any player in a European league eligible. Since 1991, there has also been a vote for the best coach of the year. Correct. Mourinho., Ferguson and Wenger were all scouting Drogba at the time he came on to the scene in French football. Only we took the chance back then, because he was a bit pricy for a relatively unproven player. Same with Hazard. Everyone was looking at him. Only we took the chance. (Plus we had some inside assistance from Joe Cole and Drogba) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm one of the person who don't rate him highly based on what I have seen from him in the past 2-3 years. Could he perform better and have much better stats in a much better attacking team or with a certain style of play? Yes, that is something that could still happen. But can Havertz transform his game and become a completely different player than what he has shown with us? I hardly believe that. I mean, it's like saying that after Jorginho moves to Arsenal, he could become stronger physically, have quicker feet, better dribbler, capable of keeping the ball under pressure in much more consistently, and provide much better threat and become strong combative player as midfielder. I mean, by playing in a more suitable system with better teammates, someone could perform better and become a more functional player. But when the issue lies in the player's lack of skills and attributes (or in havertz case also his sluggish style of play and often being invisible), I hardly believe that. The same thing also applies to the case of Sterling. He had much better performances and numbers when playing in the City team, but we have already seen what he lacks from his City days, and it just becomes more apparent in a worse functioning team. I think we should sell him before Arsenal change their mind. I have studied Havertz since his days in Germany and can't really see what his skills are. He is a decent finisher of free balls. That is about it. And I stress free balls, because there are strikers who do not need free balls to score, who can take on their man and still finish the business. People say he is played in the wrong position. Okay, to play deeper, he needs a lot more skills than a No 9. He must be able to: - tackle, dribble, pass, hold the ball, dictate play, etc - maybe not all of the above, but at least some. I just don't see where Havertz has any of those skills by any stretch. dimmas and ltblue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,944 Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Wonder what happens if no club offers us money to buy Lukaku permanently. We clearly don’t want to send him on loan again and further slash his value as he gets a year older. Then he’ll be even harder to shift. Even if we we’re going to take a massive loss in him we should just sell him back to Inter for peanuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! DH1988 1,348 Posted June 19, 2023 Popular Post! Share Posted June 19, 2023 Pretty evident what will happen with Rom, everyone and their dog knows we are in a terrible position, he will end up going to Inter on loan again, just a matter of how protracted we make it, to our own detriment. Though I would equally be fine with the leadership sticking him in the reserves for a year to make a point, that would send an unprecedented message in football that we will not be held ransom, however unlikely that scenario is. guddy69, Fernando, ltblue and 2 others 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precisely. He only wants Inter so it will inevitably be a shit deal for us or another loan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pace of the PL is going to get harder and harder for him even with the best manager.. We should cut our losses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
