Pizy 19,286 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Enzo deal absolutely has the feel that he’s going to end up at a PL rival and haunt us for years to come now. My guess is either Liverpool or United. So unless we somehow rebuild the bridge with Benfica and pay the release clause this month this could be one of the worst mistakes we’ve ever made. And after the angry reaction from their coach and last night’s defiant celebration from Enzo himself I’m guessing this is 100% dead forever. That quote from last week that I’m not sure was accurate or not from the Benfica President really annoyed me and stuck out because it’s sadly where we find ourselves now. That Enzo should wait until the summer for “a more organized and higher level club” or something like that. Normally, a move from Benfica to Chelsea would be considered a massive step up but we’re in such a mess now that other clubs view us as a place to avoid. kexik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multiple players who can play multiple positions but none of them can play the role they're best at, Mount and Havertz especially. didi007 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can already see how his career will go. 140 goals in less than 2 full season's worth of minutes as a 12yo to 15yo playing against 15yos (a few) and mostly 16, 17yos up to to 23yos this is his first run of games as a TWELVE YEAR OLD, playing against mostly 16, 17yos (a smaller amount of 15yos in the mix too) in 80 minute games (so almost a full games less worth of minutes basically over the ones where he played the full 80): 24 goals, 5 assists in 12 games (939 minutes played), as a 12 year old playing against mostly 4 to 5 year older players he turned 13 on Nov 20, 2017 also he is the youngest goalscorer in Bundesliga history (you can't play in it until you turn 16) he scored 3 goals in 4 and a half games worth of minutes then Edited January 11, 2023 by Vesper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes, by Havertz, Pulisic, Sterling, etc etc. This false 9 thing had been trending for a while, but luckily nowadays coaches realize it’s not really right way. Guardiola was trying this shit for year, and now they have an old fashioned killer number 9 and they are more prolific than ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signed in 2020 on a five year deal. These journalists have no clue really. Even the article about Spanish clubs being interested in Aubameyang was dodgy, as @Vesperpointed FIFA rules prevent him from playing competitively for a third club this season.

Pizy 19,286 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I can see these all happening in the summer: Rice > United Enzo > Liverpool/City Caicedo > Chelsea Said before that I do rate Caicedo but can’t help but be let down if we eventually end up with him instead of Enzo. I want our midfield revamp to be built around someone who is first and foremost highly gifted technically and can also do the dirty work. Not someone who is all about the dirty work first and is simply okay with the ball. Caicedo looks like a poor man’s Kante to my eyes. Very solid but limited.

Vegetable 830 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) Apart from fact we still know nothing about what happened, I wonder what "burning bridge" with Benfica would be supposed to cause - we are not getting players for reduced price solely because someone likes our owner and club will not sell to anyone except highest bidder just for giggles (except maybe they respect player enough to let him choose, but again, clubs relation hardly matters in this case). Can't see much more serious implications, than not playing friendly games with them next season, lol. Btw yeah, maybe club made a huge mistake, but that's a prime example of business risk that TB surely calculated. Not that I'm big fan of him, but I doubt he is an idiot in terms of doing business. Anyway I will laugh so hard if Enzo disappears in the span of next 10 months as I can't remember this board going so mental about player based on such a lousy evidence. Well, maybe the previous Raphinia craze, lol. Edited January 11, 2023 by Vegetable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
