lluubbeenn 188 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 The only way I can see the Enzo deal happening is with a six month loan and I am not sure if we can send more players out on loan with the UEFA regulations. We could have finalized it 25 days ago. Coming back with hours remaining of the transfer window is pretty shitty on our side. I guess we will wait and see. Still hoping we can pull it off. bigbluewillie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much less newsworthy than all the Enzo talk obviously, but just as important to the team, CFCW have been linked with Arsenal's Katie McCabe. She's a left-sided player with great physical and technical attributes and the habit for collecting yellow cards. She even managed to pick one up against us a couple of weeks ago despite only playing for a few minutes. Nominally a midfielder, McCabe can play anywhere down the left. If she joins I expect it would be to become our starting left back. She has apparently asked for permission to speak to Chelsea but with 18 months remaining on her deal I'd say there is zero chance this goes anywhere. Arsenal would have to have lost all of their marbles, bought some more and lost those too, to sell such a valuable player, in mid-season no less, to their biggest rival rival.

Vesper 31,105 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 wow, treacherous Portuguese Ornstein: https://theathletic.com/4135097/2023/01/30/ornstein-porro-spurs-Chelsea-world-cup-fernandez/ Tottenham Hotspur’s move for Pedro Porro is off after Sporting Lisbon reneged on terms of the proposed deal. The 23-year-old right wing-back was set to join Spurs and has been left distraught after Sporting president Frederico Varandas told him he would be allowed to leave following Saturday’s Portuguese League Cup final. Porro now looks set to miss out on the switch despite talks reaching an advanced stage and Sporting lining up Barcelona’s Hector Bellerin as a replacement. The performances of Porro for Sporting were rewarded with an international debut for Spain in March 2021, which came in a World Cup qualifier against Georgia. This campaign, he has been a regular presence for Ruben Amorim’s side, recording three goals and 11 assists in 25 matches across all competitions. Sporting sit fourth in the Primeira Liga.

Coming back with hours remaining of the transfer window is pretty shitty on our side. I guess we will wait and see. Still hoping we can pull it off. I doubt this has come out of the blue to Benfica. Ornstein has already said a line of communication between the clubs has been kept open all through January so they must have known there's a good chance we'll go back in for him before the window closes. Romano has been shouting 'Chelsea plan to be very busy near the deadline' for more than a week now so there's obviously been stuff going on behind the scenes. I think UEFA changing their financial regulations has caused the club to act fast as we're fast approaching the last day it's possible to amortise a players fee for longer than 5 years. Maybe the club thought they'd just continue talks for a summer move in advance (like Nkunku move) but with the rule change they felt they needed to react immediately? It's a huge difference whether the amortisation is €16M a year (7,5 year contract) or if it's €24M a year (5 year contract). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mhsc 1,146 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) I would be absolutely disgusted if we buy our record transfer that we need urgently and let him go out on loan. Part of the justification for paying so much now is that we need him now. Surely not being discussed at any level in negotiations, even as a joke.

Pizy 19,280 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Failing to get Enzo for a second time this month and then frantically paying WAY over value for Caicedo at the last minute would be such a letdown. Please let Benfica accept our terms, ffs. You’ll get all your damn money, just maybe not all at once. 😡 Vesper, Costa19, bigbluewillie and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can’t keep persisting with these types of players as our main striking options. Nkunku isnt a CF. Felix isnt a CF. We’ve had a number 10 upfront for almost 2.5 years now and he hasn’t done enough. Werner even played through the middle at times with Frank, again, ill fitted. Someone who is more of a recognised striker is a must at some point if we are serious about winning trophies. Obviously the hardest position to buy in but we have to get someone who fits that mould. Obviously has to be the right player but where is the goals coming from in this team? This season? We needed a striker last summer. We still need one. Nkunku and Felix aren’t strikers. Fofana is a CF but is he ready?

Fofana is a CF but is he ready? This narrative of a false nine working for other teams, so that is the answer for us as well, is stupid. We were at our best when we had a vocal point (Drogba, Costa, etc) on both fronts. I just have a feeling Fofana will ultimately ply his trade out wide (I have no idea if he'll be giving that chance here), so we need someone lined up for the long haul.
