They want 50M for him

yes, thus my 'lol'

I think they MIGHT take 45m, but likely will want the full 50m

 

[ZAPHOD2319 4,465]

50 seems to be the hot number in 2023

they are also looking at him

 

[Vesper 28,675]

so now it appears we see Olise as more of a RWer than an AMF

a straight Ziyech replacement

I am still very wary of that bad hamstring tear

and also

Kudus can play RW too

Kudus just seems more of an explosive athlete, plus scores more goals

most games (including the WC) I watched him he looked a true threat

 

 

[Special Juan 27,419]

Send Ziyech back and fetch Kudus

[Duppy Conqueror 1,494]

Kudus just makes too much sense when Poch wants a small squad.he'd either start at RW/RAM or be a great Sub option that covers 4 positions. 20m +Ziyech seems a good offer to atleast start with.

Olise for me is potentially great but only really out wide and the gammy hammy is a concern (though Giggs had those issues early on and ended up playing for 20 years)

doubt what part?

About Tchou coming for less than 100m, because Real needs money for Mbappe

[Mhsc 869]

Liverpool put in £37m for Lavia apparently. Probably a sensible valuation, but the world isn't sensible anymore. Hard to imagine what will become of transfer fees and wages with the growing influence of Qatar + Saudi. Perhaps splurging on players and putting them on long contracts now at today's rates will look like a bargain in the future.

Good that we are rather save with that. We have a lot of young players on long contracts. We done our business to fight hyperinflation.

Fmpov Kudus > Olise > Cherki. I am beginning to think Kudus is a more important target than Caicedo because we need goals more than we need Caicedo IMO, an athletic, boundless-energy, ball winning DM partnering Enzo is what we need and Caicedo would be the perfect option but there are others that would be more than enough to get us top 4 IMO, but we are still potentially light on goals which Kudus can fix (Jackson, Mudryk, Nkunku and Kudus if you imagine they fulfil their potential then it is not just top 4 but title contention for years).

of course they need the money

they are subject to FFP just like everyone else, and Mbappe's total cost for Real will likely be (for 5 years) well over €300m (easily could be much more, if he is paid anything near Messi money it's over €400m) if they have to pay a monster transfer fee now

those numbers are conservative compared to the Saudi offer (€300m transfer fee and €200m per year salary, IF it was for 2 years, they said they will pay him a €100m signing bonus, so total 2 years cost of €800m, €1 billion if 3 years, which is drop in the bucket for them as they have what is likely closing in on to 2 TRILLION usd backstopping them)

Real have other needs as well and are also going to (I have always said Håland ends up at Real) go for Håland in summer 2024 (perhaps) or summer 2025 (very likely)

No way. Caicedo completes are midfield. Santos and Casadei as cover brings that injection of quality as well. 

[milka 3,344]

Even if you get Caicedo that is not enough .

For 6 months you sell  6 midfielders and eventually Gallagher too .   In addition to Caicedo, you will need at least 1 more elite  DM  if you want to competitive anyone .  

If you don't want to, you will play with Santos and Casadei, who are talented players, but you can't oppose  KDB , Fernandes , Guimaraes , Odeegard  with them .

Are you not a Chelsea fan? 

[NikkiCFC 7,924]

Funny and ironic this talk from our fans how we need experienced players yet they couldn't wait to get rid of Mendy, KK, Auba, Azpi, Jorginho etc... And now first one they would sell are Sterling, Kepa, Lukaku, Ziyech...

not seeing calls to sell Kepa, just calls for a better keeper to make Kepa the backup

as for the other 3

they are all mega busts

£260m in transfer fees for the 4

plus crazy salaries
