When you think about it, it makes sense, Giroud will leave, Tammy doesn't seem good enough, while Werner can play on the wings as well, maybe even switch to 4-4-2 if Frank wants to change it up.

Gotta love how Havertz is placed in flop list after 3 games and decent showings but Partey is one of the best deals despite not playing a single game for Arsenal yet.

Anyways that release clause is available only from 2022 so we might need to overpay next summer to have any chance of landing him since United will focus on defense, Real will go for Mbappe, maybe City will be in for him as well but we have a chance. Also wasn't it reported that we're willing for negotiate with Mino Raiola again? kellzfresh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would let go of Tammy in the blink of an eye if we had the chance to sign Haland. (love Tammy but the truth is the truth) And of course being a huge lampard admirer plays a role lol. Did you not listen to werner, chillwell, havertz, silva who all credited lamps as the main reason they came (among other reasons of course). Of course neither of us know for sure where he'll end up but to categorically state that "Haaland would end up in one of the Manchester clubs" is ridiculous imo NikkiCFC and kellzfresh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On paper, yeah, Haaland is obviously the much more fancier name and player than Rice but if you look at what we need in this team, we need a defensive midfielder more urgently than a striker. Personally, I don't believe this Haaland rumor one bit - especially if people are gonna base it off a quote - and I would be more curious to see how the current team develop and play out before we start to worry about next summer's potential transfer targets.

Havertz was monitored and talks started almost a year ago, it's not strange to think negotiations are done behind the scenes even this early. We can buy a defensive midfielder by selling deadwood so that shouldn't stop us from going for another attacking outlet, which we might need since were already short of one. Matt Law already mentioned that next year will be phase 2 so expect another crazy window for us. oldportblue and Alabama 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(not saying it's gonna happen but it is in now way beyond the realm of possibility) Could care less who said it. This could be all just empty talk for all we know. Furthermore, if Werner is Lampard's long term plan to be our #1 striker, then I don't see how it makes sense to get Haaland into the side. Neither is going to be happy to sit on the bench and even if we move Werner out wide, it will solve one problem and create another when we have a number wide attacking options as well as tons of midfield options. And constant chopping and changing the team isn't going to help anyone. As I said, let's see how Lampard develops the team this season before before we start thinking far ahead into next summer's transfer targets.

Matt Law already mentioned that next year will be phase 2 so expect another crazy window for us. Yes but think we also got lucky that the other clubs suffered financial hits from the pandemic. If the pandemic had not happened, I highly doubt we would have gotten Havertz and Werner for example as easily as we did. Bayern or Real Madrid would have likely signed Havertz and Liverpool may well have gotten Werner before we suddenly swooped in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant help if you find my statement ridiculous ... ummm because haland is a generational talent who has all the tools to become one of the greatest strikers of the modern era...? as good as tammy is, he is not in haland's class unfortunately As to playing fifa/football manager, you would have probably said that last April too if someone told you we were about to sign havertz, werner, chillwell, ziyech, silva, mendy etc and yet it still happened. Not to mention that Matt Law already explicitly said that for phase II of this chelsea revolution next summer will also go very big as we did this summer. Yes Lampard already sold his vision successfully to two of the most sought after young attacking players in the world in havertz and werner, and with Hlanad who is already a huge admirer of his, he has the opportunity to do it again... I really don't see why haland being a huge lampard admirer "will not be a factor" as you claim. It's ridiculous to claim it as a fact that he's going to one of the manchester clubs, if you say it's a feeling you have or hunch, sure, but to state it emphatically is ridiculous imo.

Havertz yes but Liverpool ended up spending not that much less (of what Werner would have cost) on Jota anyway. The Liverpool turned him down due to money spin is a blatant bit of PR, as Jota's signing proved. kellzfresh, Atomiswave, Alabama and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
