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.

plus he dresses and carries himself well, is not a gangsta gangsta attitude machine, plus is humble and mature for a young age

 

That's where I've been going wrong! Get me a cashmere dress coat, and get my agent Todd's number. 🙂

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.

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?

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.

his name is David, not Davies

the other big Canadian star is Alphonso Davies, the LB

David is a New York City (Brooklyn) born Haitian, who parents moved back to Haiti and them moved to Ottawa, Canada

[Gundalf 771]

No idea why people here rate Gyökeres or Sesko over David really. They clearly arent any better.

does he want to come here, or wait for bigger (atm or overall) clubs?

[Mário César 902]

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

Barca have wanted Nico for 2 plus years, but their financials were and are in the shitter

Couldn’t have said it better myself

Arsenal have agreed a fee of £75m for Sporting Lisbon hitman Viktor Gyokeres, according to reports out of Portugal.

I just don't get this rumour based on what the player himself recently said. He signed a new contract recently & was puzzled by questions regarding transfer speculation.

If one of the top clubs isn't going for him (RM, Barca - best friends with Yamal, PSG, City, etc.), I'd presume it's a non-starter.
