Vesper 30,193 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 13 hours ago, Thor said: I was keen on David at one point and the more and more I watched him play... no thanks. He doesn't have anything special to his game. He floats. He actually hurts link up a lot. He is horrendous for Canada. I'd take Rogers from Villa, but they'd never sell. Rogers is a winger though, not a CF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,193 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Real Madrid were shocked by Valencia at Santiago Bernabeu as the Spanish giants lost 2-1 at home and lost more ground in the race for La Liga title. Vinicius Jr had his penalty saved by Giorgi Mamardashvili which proved decisive in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkh 596 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Mikel reveals Victor Osimhen really wants to play for Chelsea FC : “Listen, it will be really sad if we don’t get a player who supported us a kid and wants to play for this Football Club” “His idol is Drogba, he will want to break records, win us trophies, get us back to the top, come for Drogba’s records. I’m telling you that would be his mission” “If the club chose not to pursue it.. then well fair enough, good luck to them, but the good thing about it is we know where we left it, we can literally pick the phone up and get him straight in the door” “Get him in!” (@obionepodcast) kexik 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general I don't want any of the Vlahovics of the world unless we're picking them up on very favourable deals. The pure-finisher type like him can fall off a cliff too easily, when the only thing being provided is finishing and they go through a bad spell at their only elite skill... Basically become a passenger. Sometimes they stay a passenger for years, or just never get it back to the level required. We've signed endless strikers like that over the years and they never work out over the long term. I'd really like to see us only spend big on players who can be a menace even when they're not scoring, and improves us just by being on the field and going about their craft. If we sub out NJ for a pure goal scorer it will net out at 0 improvement probably (or maybe we get worse). Liam Delap is one of various interesting options although I'm sure you have a thorough list on this already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we have all these young players who haven't been tested out yet. I still don't get why Veiga was sent to Juve on loan, surely there were other clubs that could have given him some decent minutes for development?

If we end up with Liam Delap in the summer as our big striker signing, we are finished before a ball is kicked next season. Would get it if it were the likes of Everton or someone signing him but clubs like us, United, Liverpool and even City (been links as they have a buy back)? Absolute insane - although he’d be bench warming at City. Edited April 8 by OneMoSalah Reddish-Blue and mkh 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got a decent loan fee for Veiga and tbh he is playing regularly there. Not a bad move when you look into the loan fee received and the fact he is playing regular football and also featured in the UCL for Juve too. mkh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The message being sent to the playing group is confusing. You sign Veiga and 6 months later, you need to loan him out. Then with Chalobah, the club tells him he's not required, goes to Palace and then with injuries, we recall him and everything is supposed to be fine between player & club? Even Felix gets brought in and 6 months later he's keen on a move away and the club lets him go on loan (knowing full well that we have no attacking options available other than watching Nkunku walk around the pitch).
