Vegetable 830 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Atleti fans claim each Felix's goal had cost them 2.4 mil euro, hope it will come cheaper for us. Btw, funnily enough Felix was claimed football god after 6 months in Benfica before he flopped after getting big move, so genuinely interested what he will show here.

DDA 9,937 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 People not rating Mac Alister?? I'd take him over Mount in a heartbeat. Hes a far better player in my opinion. It's extremely worrying that we are looking to give Mount a new contract along with a permanently injured Kante. Turning into a circus here.

For sure he will get some injury or will be dropped after bad games and in the end he will cost us 1m per game just playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wouldn't have a problem with him here. You are clearly biased towards home-grown players. You like Mount and want Rice and Phillips here. All 3 mid table players at best.

Pizy 18,897 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Seeing quotes from Potter now saying Pulisic is out injured again for as long as a couple of months. We need to bin this crock the moment the summer window opens. Made of glass is an understatement when it comes to him. Get the 2 lightweight wingers Pulisic and Ziyech out and replace them with some strong, powerful athletes. Vesper and Costa19 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That €2.4M figure for every goal contribution (G+A) is sensationalist, and would only be true if he left on a free transfer now which obviously won't be the case. But assuming the loan won't be made permanent (no buy option) I really fear a few million a goal is what we're going to be paying for Felix. Total cost of the loan is around €18M including loan fee and wages so he'd have to score or assist ten goals or more to even take it under €2M per goal contribution. Considering the amount of games remaining the more likely return would be a maximum of five goals and a couple of assists which would amount to somewhere between €2M and €3M per goal involvement. That's how fucking bonkers the loan is. The only way this deal can make any sense financially is if he somehow lightens up the whole team and we make the UCL qualification (which we won't) or we somehow fluke our way to another UCL title (which we won't). If either of those happens the deal will have been an unprecedented masterstroke but realistically the chances are very slim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to think this is the whole point of the scouting and recruitment areas of the club being completely revamped. All of these names being mentioned - Caicedo, Enzo, Mac Allister at one point were available for low fees earlier in their development and just require some time and patience to develop. Football moves so quickly, there's no chance that 6 months ago when Benfica were signing Enzo that fast forward to now he'd be being looked at as one of the top midfielders in world football and 120m release clause sounds a "fair deal". Any way you want to look at this, 120m is a massive risk on a player. He could become one of the top midfielders of his generation but are you prepared to gamble 120m for that? He's played in Europe for 6 months in the Portuguese league. He looks a real player but there are so many factors to consider, and it's hardly like we have a great track record of big money buys as it is. The key is for the likes of Vivell, Winstanley, Shields, etc to find the next ones because there will be a next one, that's how football works. It's a never ending conveyor belt and it's all about picking the right one from it at the right time. It also isn't as simple as looking at the best player we all think can be bought on the market if the fit here isn't right and that's another beauty about recruitment in sport. There's no guarantee. We may pick a player up that people don't rate at the same level as Enzo, but he ends up slotting into the side and fits like a glove for our team. Liverpool signed Wijnaldum who struggled in a relegated Newcastle side and he just fit them and elevated his game. Maybe we do the same in the summer with Lavia if Southampton went down, and he needed this season of playing more regularly to kick on and we get the benefits from that next year. I don't know, but I know that if we start shopping at the Enzo end of the market yet again, if it goes wrong, it significantly limits what we can do then moving forward.

They're not giving anything out yet on Sterling either, but the fact his scans and assessments are being done would also suggest his could be similarly as bad. With that in mind, you can perhaps see a bit more reason for why we've bit the bullet for Felix in the short term to add an extra attacker to the squad. It's still a big commitment though when realistically we're finishing out of the top 4 this season anyway, bar a huge turnaround in fortunes.

Don't think I've ever said I want rice here, I like mount because I like Chelsea, he's from the academy he's Chelsea to the core, kalvin Phillips offers huge potential to this team, was.good.enough for pep for his attacking system? But I guess we are far to good for him eh? Oh an the fact he grew up in the same area as me.
