Think I remember seeing £40m earlier in the window. 

He doesn’t really strike me as a player who would instantly hit the ground running, though. And he isn’t someone who plays with Jackson but instead of him.

I think he’s best as a second striker ala Nkunku isn’t he?

Lille want 60-70 million Euros.

Chelsea are working on signing a creative attacker.

Updates :

- Barcola priority is PSG

- City favourites to sign Doku

- Chelsea looking at different players than Vlahovic at the moment

- Chelsea haven’t spoken to Kudus in almost 20 days.

I was under the impression that he was an out and out #9. You could be right. But even so I wouldn’t go for him. 

We need our stats and data driven scouting nerds at the club to find us wide attackers around Europe who are prolific and would suit the PL.

We need goals. No more ‘creative’ players. We need fucking goals.

Wirtz maybe if he recovered from injury.

Poch is unconvinced on Brennan Johnson, Chelsea are exploring other options.

Yes, but who? The market is fucking dreadful for these sorts of players right now. There are loads of creative #10 types out there that we could easily get if we really tried (Cherki, Wirtz, Kudus, Etc) but attackers that are basically guaranteed goals are just absent.

We may have to get SUPER creative and take a punt on someone completely unexpected or out of nowhere like we did with Jackson. But then we risk yet another bust.

Barcola or Kudus.

I admire how much of diplomat Poch manages to be in this whole mess. However he will probably need to emphasize his points when time comes, as his call for "experienced players" was already misinterpreted by the club as "please buy another 15 Brasilian children".

Manager Mauricio Pochettino must give the green light before a player is pursued by the club.

Doubt we will play more than 1 forward, so honestly, if Jackson won't drop his form from Spain but rather build on it, I wouldn't look for another mediocre attacker for sake of it. Nkuku showed some great signs, Broja is still around. Lukaku is still in the club, for better or worse. He may stay or be exchanged for someone. Having ten players for every spot was exactly the trouble that demotivated Potter's team and what Lampard was pointing as the reason why our mentality gone to the gutter. 

We are slowly going into ridiculous "we need one more player and will come good" circle. We "only just" needed Enzo, now a striker, but then we will only need a keeper, then a winger and so on. Clearly something is not clicking as a whole, rather than individual talent. No good, complete products on the market now, so maybe just try to do with what we have, as we have quite plenty.

You say no more creative players like we have creative players in the attack. ALL of our wingers prefer to dribble and cross. Just look at the second half earlier it was rinse repeat the same attacking pattern over and over. Having a goalscorer would do nothing against a low block like that when we are just aimlessly crossing.

We are in desperate need of an attacking midfielder who has elite creativity. Someone who can thread a ball that no one sees. Until then it will be the same as West Ham, and a goalscorer fixes none of that.

People keep talking about us needing “elite level creative players” or “elite level goalscorers” but keep mentioning guys who have literally only got only one season good under their belt like Kudus & Barcola. FFS. When does one season make you an elite player? Yes there is the odd gem or two but Kudus and Barcola? Really?

We need a few guys who have done it week in week out at a good level for say at least 2 or 3 seasons minimum but are still relatively young enough ie aged 25, 26, 27 to fit our recruiting profile and also bring a bit of experience and proven quality. Nkunku fitted that profile. In the past also, Cesc and Costa for example. Yea these certain levels are hard to find but when you find them, they are worth the wait. 

These chasing players who have realistically played one season at a good level to put it bluntly as if they will solve all of our problems needs to stop. I mean Ziyech had what 3 amazing years at Ajax? I’d go as far as saying he was probably twice the player Kudus was last season easily in those 3 years. He was apparently “world class” or “going to be world class” yet flopped. Go and read the thread after we announced his signing for all the proof. Yet Kudus has one good season and he is an elite level creative player who will propel us to the next level? Give me a break.

Do people not see that we already have plenty of these players in and around our squad, Mudryk, Noni, Jackson, Levi, Moises, Romeo etc? Guys who have shown good performance at a level for one season? I hoped Disasi and even Sanchez were the first of a few more proven or experienced heads because we need some.

Pedro Goncalves. 

And I think Maddison is highly creative player, shame we didn't go for him. Very reasonable price and would be great in Poch 4231 as Nkunku backup. Clear upgrade on Mount imo.

Both delivering good numbers for years.
