I'm Dutch and a PSV supporter. Home and bored with the flu and so I got on a Chelsea forum. Hope you dont mind that I share my insight about Madueke as I obviously seen all his matches. 

I see quite a bit of negativity around this transfer which is fair when it comes to his history with injurys. Im honestly not sure if hes made for professional football. 

Talentwise. PSV had their fair share of talents going to the Premier League. I know the Dutch league is shite but still I can usually see if a player has potential to make it in the Premier League. With Bergwijn I knew for sure he wasnt gonna make it, with Wijnaldum I had my doubts and I'm even not sure about Gakpo. For me Madueke is by far the biggest talent we had since Arjen Robben. He scores  left and right from outside the box and dribbles past players with so much ease. 

I'm happy with the sell as a club like PSV cant say no to 40 million euros for a player thats injury prone. But if you keep him fit I think thats a huge bargain. Good luck, I hope he succeeds. 

What kind of injuries did he have and how did he pick them up?

Camavinga 👀😬

Nah but seriously we need a midfielder.

But if the top targets are impossible in January we better wait for summer and not turn to stop gaps. No fecking Kessie please

Signing the kid from PSV right now regardless of his injuries or how good he is just a dumb dumb move. Mainly because now we have to get rid if a few this window or its gonna be tough. If we agreed a deal for the summer then I could see the point but we cannot get rid of Pulisic as hes injured, will struggle to get rid of Hakim permanently this window, and then throw in the fact we have Mount, Havertz, Joao Felix who are capable of playing on the sides/as floaty attacking midfield players too. Plus Raheem who is out injured, Hudson-Odoi out on loan who will probabpy now not see a future at Chelsea at all regardless of if he was good enough or not. 

There really really really is no strategy at the club at all. Absolutely baffling. Its Just stockpiling players. 

Plus we are still in the race for Thuram apparently another fucking attacker. When we urgently need a RB and another CM. 

No faith at all that this new infrastructure is going to be any different from Boehly and co in the summer. Is there too many people involved?

Are we seriously panic buying CM?  After all this time we are still panic buying and wasting our funds elsewhere?

Spending on wingers made absolutely sense. With Pulisic and Ziyech hopefully gone, we would only have Sterling as a winger.

Bissouma is a good player who has been mismanaged at Spurs... everyone bottles it there.

He’s not that good. Not even at Brighton but I think he did what a lot of these guys do and had a few good games against us so instantly people thought he was better than they were. He is so so middle of the road. I am actually surprised he hasn’t improved under Conte he seems like the sort of profile he would want in a MF player. 

If we were to pinch anyone from Spurs midfield it should be Bentancur. Who is pretty fucking good.

I think Bissouma is alright but yea Bentancur is their best midfielder for sure.

But are they gone?

Pulisic is out so can’t sit a medical anywhere so he isn’t going to be gone anytime soon. Probably be the summer. 

And supposedly, bar loan interest from Newcastle, has there ever been any real interest in Ziyech? Again, not so much by sounds of things. 

I mean if our transfer strategy is just overload the squad with attacking players, which we have plenty of (despite some of them being poor) and neglect key needed positions we have needed investment in for 2 seasons now, ie. a good back up RB and another good level CM, then so be it. But it will only end one way.

I'm rather excited to see us sign two wingers that caught my eye during the CL qualifying stages last season. The combined sum might be rather high, but they are direct wingers for whom we have been crying out for since the days of Robben and Duff. The only downside is that hopes of signing Kvaratskhelia and Leao are probably over.

Next, a RB that can compete with James rather than a fodder. We aren't going after Livramento in the summer, so we need to get things done now.

I don't think Leo was ever serious about leaving. Just getting a better deal
