Can't shake the feeling we are paying the usual Chelsea premium, even if there is no other firm bid and, if you think about, we are probably the best thing that happened to Brighton lately, completely out of the blue. Starting with outlandish Cucurella fee, the Potter circus, deals that were rumored but luckily fell apart… the amount of cash we are pumping there is crazy, yet they won't miss a chance to rip us even more. Let alone Boehly making this team our role model in the beginning of his reign for whatever reason. Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDA 10,237 Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Talks with the Brazillian kid are happening as we speak and apparently a club tried highjacking the Vitor Roque transfer to Barca... hmm 🤔. Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 19,280 Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Wonder what we’re gonna do with Ian Maatsen. He’s really, really promising and PL ready after that impressive spell with Burnley. But the pathway at LB is completely blocked and we already have a headache with Chilly, Cucu, and Hall in his way. He 100% has the look of a youth product we’d regret selling a couple years from now so I’m thinking the best thing to do is to loan him to another PL team (back to Burnley preferably) and then sell Cucu next summer if he doesn’t dramatically improve this season.

Vegetable 830 Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 (edited) So did Zyiech move to Saudi League fell completely? Failing a medical there seems quite an achievement, so do we have a ticking bomb on our hands or did they decided to back up this way? 10 minutes ago, bluesman2610 said: Mason Mount goodbye video gives me kidnapping vibes - that’s so crazy lol This is so absurd. You deserve more than written goodbye, so I'll invest 180 seconds of my precious time to dump this shitty phone video, where I read muddy statement my PR people wrote, that contains zero actual essence and comes down to "I'm leaving because I decided to do so" vibe. Completely unneeded imo, but sums up the matter pretty well. Edited July 4, 2023 by Vegetable Norfolkblue1961, Mhsc and Vesper 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still get the feeling that Hall's future is in midfield with the ability to play LB as required... Best case for Maatsen may be some sort of a sale with buy back option. (Similar to what City had for Lavia, let the kid develop elsewhere and if the opportunity arises in the next 2 years, we can still bring back Maatsen at a reasonable enough price). mkh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure he only has a year left on his deal so he'd need to sign a new contract first before a potential loan move. Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mhsc 1,146 Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Doubt Hall is a serious player tbh, wishful thinking that he might be imo but let’s see, personally I’m expecting this season he will show enough to get a transfer and then we will cash in for 10m or whatever and put in the usual clauses about buy backs and sell on %s. Would ideally like us just to find a way out of the Cucu situation and have Ian fight Chilly for the spot. But I’ve no idea wtf route there is to deal with Cucu. Shameful signing.

Bit farcical that we move on genuine starting 11 players, but still have Ziyech and Lukaku on our books Those 2 are great pals and therefore dressing room poison. If we can't sell them, at least loan them out. Hope no one convinces Poch to keep them for their 'experience' But I've a bad feeling that they're going to play at least one preseason game for us Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't vocally bashed the club, so his odd 5 min cameo would be bearable. Lukaku, on the other hand, is a non-starter. Inter buying local talent while trying to play us like a fiddle. It's grating at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's too little for someone who needs to get back to the top of the table. lautaro had a good season. it's a risky choice, but i prefer him to the other names it will also depend on how much inter asks for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the rumor about Cherki is true, we could probably get him quite easily. the entire Lyon squad valuation is £199.5m less than a third of what we spent just in transfers fees last season lol only players the y have who I remotely rate are Castello Lukeba Centre-Back Dec 17, 2002 (20) France Angola €25.00m Saël Kumbedi Right-Back Mar 26, 2005 (18) France DR Congo €12.00m Maxence Caqueret Central Midfield Feb 15, 2000 (23) France €25.00m Romain Faivre Right Midfield Jul 14, 1998 (24) France Algeria €10.00m Rayan Cherki Attacking Midfield Aug 17, 2003 (19) France Algeria €30.00m - Bradley Barcola Right Winger Sep 2, 2002 (20) France Togo €18.00m 7 goals, 10 assists in only 1800 topflight minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayerns wins CLs and plays in a decent league though Paris the city is a huge draw for PSG, just like London is for us, Arse, Spuds, etc Munich is a decent place to live, but deffo not glam glam Fernando 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
