yeah sporting supporters said that he is a amazing player

this is the kind of player we can buy without ucl

we need to be smart

caicedo + ugarte + ltavia would be amazing 

that would be a dream but there's no way we get all of them, particularly with no European football next season. 

Caicedo won't be short on offers, same with Lavia (interest from both Newcastle & Man Utd and City have a buy back for him).

I know I said yesterday that Ugarte doesn’t really wow you when just watching highlights. But….when you watch the videos of him against individual big clubs he looks incredible. I’ve just watched him physically dominate the midfields of Juve, Arse, Spuds, and Benfica. And he’s much better technically than I initially gathered from his compilation videos.

This kid could form a truly special partnership with Enzo. Hope we manage to beat our rivals to him. He’d be a major signing for any PL club.

I just hope its more than 1 midfield signing heading into next season. 

Ugarte - Enzo sounds good but we need competition in the side and different options, can't just bank on two midfielders (especially with Kova, RLC, Mount all linked with moves away and Kante's injury concerns).

I just can’t see it happening. We’ll probably keep Gallagher and Carney as regular rotation players and I doubt Kante will leave if he’s injured again. Five players competing for 2 positions when we aren’t in Europe is probably enough.

A total clearout where we move ALL of Kova, Kante, Gallagher, and RLC whilst bringing in 2 new midfielders would be the dream but sounds very unrealistic.

if we sell mount, kovacic and don't renew with kante, I think that is very possible

Gallagher as fan.... sorry,  but that's laughable.

There are plenty of amateur 'fans' that could do a better job than Gallagher.

That shouldn't be a criterion to favor one player over another.

Drogba disliked being at Chelsea in his first couple of years. Would you have kept Gallagher over him?

Personally for me it would be one of the criterias for a decision. At the end of the day, players are human beings and will have different reactions from something they like and something they don't, then proceed to base a decision from there.

Yes, if Drogba really wanted to leave then I would let him. I am a firm believer in those who don't want to be here can leave.

Does this mean you would extend Mount's contract, give the green light to his demands, then sell Gallagher? As I think we will only sell one or the other this window.

Gallagher shouldn’t kick another ball for Chelsea. He only runs around like a lunatic to compensate for his lack of talent.  Spends half his time sprawled our on the floor like it’s an MMA match too. Absolute joke

He's held in high regard due to his application and desire to "give his all". That might work at Palace, but he's out of his depth here.

He’s definitely got a decent amount of talent. He can be someone who is the focal point of a team that’s traditionally mid or lower down the table. The issue is that he’s someone who needs to be playing every single match AND further up in the Mason Mount sort of position on the pitch to reach his best form. Things he’s never getting at Chelsea.

Coming on for short sub appearances or getting the odd start as part of a midfield 2 have done nothing for him. If we could sell him to an Everton/Palace/name your usual midtable side I think he’ll revert straight back to his Palace form. So he’s a very solid player but not Chelsea quality.

We should 100% be looking to move him but I doubt we’ll see it.

if any club offer 45M pounds for gallegher, do you think we should sell?

[Gundalf 805]

If this guy cant score here, we know that we are fucking cursed.

Exactly my thoughts. A lot of hype but doesn't look anything special at all 

and, as I said for some time, he is rash in his tackling at times

that said, there are far worse targets we could have, and the two MFers I really really want who are realistic in terms of us pulling them (Arsen Zakharyan and Manu Kone, although the Russia sanctions are fucking us with Arsen, grrrrrr) are not the same type of MFer at all as Ugarte is

I would much rather buy Nicolò Barella, but he is so likely never coming here atm, given the state we are in for now and I also do like Moisés Caicedo

the first 7 posts on the board mentioning Ugarte (even in passing on a list) were from me (which is hardly a shock as I post a huge number of potential lists, updated all the time, as the transfer market is my favourite area of discussion so often)
