Pizy 18,985 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 There’s not even a Sancho “link.” It’s just CFCPys on Twitter last night saying he fancies trying to get him. He’s one of the highest earners in the league so I think he’s a total nonstarter for our board. I always get a laugh when after pretty much every Mudryk appearance for us his thread on RedCafe blows up with people clowning on him when United themselves have 2 of the biggest wide attacker busts in PL history at their club at the same time in Antony and Sancho. Who not only cost more than Mudryk but are also on triple his wages. The Sancho at Dortmund would be the perfect profile of wide attacker we need. But there’s no way he’s worth the huge cost in fee and wages now. As for Eze, Palace fans were saying when we were linked with Olise that Eze was the actual gem of their team. So if Palace refused to sell Olise it would be even more impossible to get them to sell him. Especially with mere days left in the window. Honestly, I don’t really even rate him that highly anyway.

With Lukaku most likely taking one spot we'll only have one left and it will go to either Ugochukwu or Washington. And there is an argument that a successful PL loan would do Santos much more good than anything he could achieve in Portugal. If the idea remains to eventually have him playing for us, getting him some PL experience beforehand could turn out very useful. And even if he's not going to be a Chelsea player in the long run, just having him perform in the PL will definitely raise his value for a potential sale down the line. As long as he gets regular minutes for Forest it will be a good loan deal. And if he's not good enough to play regularly for Forest he wouldn't be good enough for a top Portuguese club either. With Nkunku and Chukwu injuries, Hall departure and Santos loan I don't think Ugochukwu will be loaned out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,272 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 1 hour ago, Reddish-Blue said: He doesn't really have a position at United. Feel like he was meant to be a winger/forward but now they got Ten Hag's favourite Brazilian for 100 million and there's no way he's going to displace Rashford on the left. Even watching a bit of them in pre-season, he was playing in more of a free #10 role for them, getting into decent positions. I detest Anthony I would much rather Raphinha come here and we all know how I don't truly care for him after that Barca cock-up (and that certainly did not break my heart either) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are German clubs outside or Bayern and Dortmund really in position to turn down £45-50m for their players? Wirtz, if he fully recovers, is a jewel in the German football ecosphere bags of talent if healthy he would be a monster here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH the club are clearly letting Poch have a "hard no" on anyone he really doesn't want but otherwise just picking the players they feel are right for the long term, otherwise instead of Lavia and Caicedo we'd have got him a 26/27 year old in midfield instead of three 19-21 year olds, so it is probably just as likely to be Barcola or whoever rather than someone who is genuinely 'PL ready' like Eze.

ZAPHOD2319 4,823 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 The reason for all the Sancho links is his connection to Joe Shields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left footed, plays on the right. Poch knows him for Spurs. Wouldn’t touch Sancho if he was available for £10m. Said it first time round and will say it again, overrated.

mkh 619 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Marc Cucurella is very close to joining Manchester United from Chelsea on a loan deal. (@marca) French defender Malang Sarr is a target for Fenerbahçe. Even though Chelsea have set a price tag of €6m, a transfer can be completed in the region of €2-3m. (via @stargazete) Chelsea scouts were apparently in attendance at Nice-Lyon last night, keeping tabs on Khephren Thuram (CM), Jean-Clair Todibo (CB), Sofiane Diop (W) and Bradley Barcola (W).

mkh 619 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Chelsea are eying a trio of forward targets ahead of deadline day that include Ferran Torres and Raphinha at Barcelona and Arsenal's Emile Smith Rowe. Interest is not particularly advanced but they are names being discussed by the Chelsea hierarchy at this stage.

Pizy 18,985 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I doubt we would try to bring in some reclamation project. All those players have flopped or been big letdowns from their initial promise. We need someone to lift our levels in attack so why would we bring in players who are worse than what we have now? mkh and Vegetable 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I can see why people get annoyed with him. Romano is a click engagement genius. Got to respect it. Probably doesn’t know much but knows that it’s very likely we are going to do something, and knows how to milk the views. I have nothing but respect for what a hustler he is.
