I am deeply disappointed and shocked and sad with this signing. Just like I said for Felix the other day, it wont make us climb up on the table without functional central midfield. We are stockpiling attackers we are not able to sell, and getting only has beens and injury prones in that midfield. It's sad really. At least I hope when he comes to Stamford Bridge tomorrow, he will be hearing " We will stay up" instead "We are going down" chants despite this absurd transfer policy that is bringing us further down with each passing window/ day. A fair point, but the world is real not ideal. Clubs, including ours, have to take opportunities when they arise. It seems pretty clear from the rumour mill that the club has made, and is making, efforts to reinforce the midfield. There is nothing wrong with buying the materials with which you intend eventually to build the roof and putting it in storage, so to speak, until your foundation is laid. As long as you can afford to do both then you must take opportunities when you can. The club's recruiters clearly believe strongly in Mudryk. As long as as this signing does not prevent us also strengthening the midfield then it makes no sense to stand by and watch him go elsewhere.

Always playing on the front foot, you feel like they can score 3 goals in like 15 mins. Agreed but they are in in a very enviable situation. Firstly, they operate in a one team league where the clubs which are supposedly their competitors, in reality serve as an extended academy for them. Secondly, being the main attraction in the dominant pastime in one of the world's most powerful economies, means they attract staggering amounts of sponsorship income. Thirdly, they operate in a city which affords a fabulous lifestyle. Taken together, these factors make FC Bayern Munchen one of the most desirable destinations for the world's best footballers. When buying our club Todd Boehly spoke of the structural advantages which Chelsea enjoy. Our advantages are almost negligible compared with Bayern's and those advantages allow them to recruit the players to fit their style. Other clubs often have to choose the style to fit the players they can recruit. Vegetable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depay is close to Atletico and we are still after Thuram. I think Arse was crazy to not go for Gapko over Mudryk, as Gapko can play CF as well. If I was them, I would make a move for Arnaut Danjuma (similar to Gapko in terms of flexibility, and even more comfortable as a CF) Also, surely a target must be Yéremy Pino, and I assume they still want Thuram perhaps. I was always puzzled why they wanted a pure LWer (Mudryk) when they have a potential superstar there already in Martinelli. Neither likes to play on the right, and they have Saka as RWer already (no clue why T-Markt lists Saka as RMF, as if you look at games where they play a 4 2 3 1, he is always at the same spot, but sometimes they call him a RMF, and others a RW, even though the formation and play are the exact same) He sure seems a RWer to me, BUT can play as a LWB too (maybe RWB as well) Mudryk is almost ambipedal, he has no issues with shooting with his left foot (his loog passing off his left is not, atm, as good as with his right, BUT his crosses are fine with his left), so he seems like he could play on the RW more so than Martinelli.

I don't see Thuram moving in January, he'll have many more options at the end of the season. The Madueke interest is just weird considering his injury record...

Interesting point....as apparently Danjuma has been allowed to fly to London to speak to PL clubs about a loan to permanent type of transfer... People on twitter were mentioning Arsenal/Villa (Emery connection)/Spurs (squad depth for Conte) as options Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
