Mário César 1,282 Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 (edited) Making a short summary, if we get to Caicedo, what do you think of the board's performance so far? Do you think that, since the start of the transfer market, things have been done well? Have they been the opposite, in a good way, of what we saw last year? So far, I like it, both in terms of sales and purchases, although Jackson is an unknown quantity. I'm glad it's no longer Todd, but the two directors managing certain club decisions.

Pizy 18,952 Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 I’m really warming to the idea of Rayan Cherki after being iffy last week. Been watching more and more footage of him lately. He has Hazard-like dribbling ability and is excellent at keeping the ball under pressure. Something we’ll really mid in the middle of the pitch with Kova leaving. The price would really reasonable for a player of his talent and age as well apparently. Feels like it’s just 3rd tier and Twitter rando’s linking us with him at the moment sadly. He’s a player we could go and sign tomorrow with zero problem if we wanted to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mhsc 1,098 Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Cherki could easily turn into another Ziyech situation. He is lazy defensively, especially at pressing, and he can be a bit selfish offensively and doesn't really score goals. He has many talents, but I would want him to go through a transformational year before we bought him. Huge gamble imo unless he is cheap, which I wouldn't expect.

Yeah if there is genuine interest the recruitment team need to determine if he is coachable in that aspect (defensive contribution) or if the trade off is worth it. (his creative metrics vs his poor off the ball work rate). Personally think he'd be a luxury at this point. That Brazilian CAM we are close to signing looks a talent.

Thing is, if he has a transformational year then he's much more likely to choose to go somewhere else. Lyon are in massive financial trouble so I'm not sure he'd be all that expensive. Maybe around €30-40M? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mário César 1,282 Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 it's good to sign talent, but we need some more seniors players with goal-scoring ability, which is what's missing Strike, xPetrCechx and Vesper 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea_4_eva 1,182 Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Regarding Cherki, how's his work ethic? If he is to improve he must have that first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there were reports he has an attitude problem. He reminds me of Ziyech I'm ngl. There's always a chance he could be our next Joe Cole but idk (who also needed some persuasion to help out better defensively). If the scouts want him I'll come around to giving him a shot.

For me it would be £45m or nothing. Stop taking the piss now. We are asking for £40m, they came up to £35m from their initial £25m and Lukaku is going to cut his wage. Just get it done, there is a deal there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vytis33 1,276 Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 If Levi is a serious footballer he'd want to work alongside Thiago Silva for a year. Would pay huge dividends on his career Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of OL fans don't rate him. I've gone over the OL forums and all agree he has immense talent but lacks football brain and intelligence. A great deal wants to sell him. For me it is a huge red flag when your own fan base doubts your capacity of making it at the highest level. I don't know him enough to make up my own mind, but i'll trust their judgment, and i would be against this move. Mhsc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
