We don't need 2 developing players as our first team striker options. The preference would be David but he'll have plenty of choices for his next club, will be interesting to see if Chelsea can sell him on the project moving forward.

Doesn't help that we've arrived at David after public moves for Duran, Omorodion and interest in Solanke, Sesko, Gyokeres and Osimhen Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costa19 858 Posted June 23, 2024 Share Posted June 23, 2024 (edited) Would maybe prefer Duran over Davies due to the raw talent and potential of Duran tbh. Davies has been around for a couple of seasons without any bigger team making a move for him and while he is 24 and would add a little more experience to our squad, he already reached his ceiling or close to it. I have watched him a handful of times and i just didnt see anything special. I dont care if he dresses well and i can understand that a canadian supporter would love him here but.. If we were linked to Kulusevski i would be disappointed even though he is Swedish and we grown up in the same area, going to the same barber and hang out in the same circles. I would love to be wrong though so if Davies comes and smash it i will raise my arms and admit error of judgement.

Are you talking about Kevin Davies or who? ps: Kulusevski’s hair is tragic, you better find a new shop for yourself. NikkiCFC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mhsc 1,098 Posted June 23, 2024 Share Posted June 23, 2024 Jonathon David nice option to have in the squad, especially with the injury record of Nkunku. Not convinced he is an immediate starter or displaces anyone in our best XI though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,953 Posted June 23, 2024 Share Posted June 23, 2024 For the absolute life of me, I cannot make sense of this move for the kid from Villa. It looks exactly like what all the salty opposition fans are moaning about: clubs helping each other out with PSR. Where does this kid even fit in the team? bigbluewillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only makes sense if you assume that inflation of transfer fees will continue and not slow down. Then there is minimal risk and lots of upside potential in buying these players, as even if they don't improve you'll sell them for a profit in a few years. Continued inflation on fees can only really come from letting more and more Saudi billionaires buy football clubs though I'd imagine.

Gundalf 806 Posted June 23, 2024 Share Posted June 23, 2024 No idea why people here rate Gyökeres or Sesko over David really. They clearly arent any better. mkh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mário César 1,284 Posted June 23, 2024 Share Posted June 23, 2024 if we were a club with the slightest competence, we would have tried before the euro. with the performance he's getting, there's no way he's coming to Chelsea. there's a lot of talk about barcelona. if the board hadn't wasted so much time on olise, we might have had better luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
