Surely we can find our own man without just raiding Brighton over and over again for big money. Is he really significantly better than Zakaria? Will he even play if Kante comes back to fitness? Would be a very limited midfield if so, albeit hard to imagine us losing many games... Obviously if we can get him for £40m then it is a no brainer but £60m+? I'm not convinced at that price. Caicedo is very good and it will block Rice move in the summer which is a bonus. If you think the midfield is limited with him coming just wait until summer if we end up with Rice.

It's not happening and it's not something that upsets me personally. Arsen is NOWHERE near that level of cost and us being blocked should upset, he has a MASSIVE upside potential to be a key creative player for us, unlike anything we have on the team price: from the summer (and the clause is the same now) https://metro.co.uk/2022/08/26/Chelsea-set-to-activate-12-6m-buyout-clause-to-sign-arsen-zakharyan-17247517/ Chelsea are set to trigger a €15 million (£12.6m) release clause to sign Dynamo Moscow midfielder Arsen Zakharyan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it much depends on your country's political stance, but I doubt any player is worth transferring money to Russia right now, especially after all that "morality" talk after we negotiated for Enzo, it just seems improper thing to do imho.

Pizy 18,952 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Not a chance we should sell Gallagher to any PL club who could potentially compete with us in future league seasons. So that should 100% rule Newcastle out. If he at some point really pushes to leave and it’s Palace or some other perennial bottom half side then I’d reluctantly take a big fee. But to see him at his top level at another top 4 competitor would be terrible. RLC I’d drive to Newcastle myself. For me he is right now what he will always be, sadly. Someone who shows flashes of brilliance but is merely average 80% of the time. Doesn’t have the mentality or desire to realize his huge talent. Ziyech I’d be fine seeing the back of but would be weary about selling within the league. Bren and Fernando 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be bashed eternally. The players "running away" from their league got free pass, but I doubt this transfer will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hashishi 148 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I think Havertz will come good. He was excellent when he had Werner making runs. Imagine how he'll play with Mudryk and Nkunku. We just need a DM and a RB. I would be happy with just Enzo and a backup for James. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
