I fought Matt Law and Matt Law won. Transfer Thread

Lol we're more likely to put this guy on the moon than get 20m from a Greek club for him

 

All I care about is that he gets PT and plays well. They won’t buy him but someone else might if he manages to score 15ish goals and 5ish assists.

Fabrizio: Göztepe SK agree loan deal with Chelsea for David Datro Fofana after AEK Athens move collapsed. It also include an option to buy and a recall clause in January. #CFC can bring the player back from January 1, 2025.

 

We have the lad on a 7 year contract and they have an option to buy at £20 million. What is the realistic option that they will buy him?

 

That specific team is unlikely but I could see a larger Turkish side having interest at that price if he plays well in the league.

 

Word is Nkunku wants out - not getting enough shine.

Understand where he's coming from. I'd rather keep him but if we can get what we paid for him +20 or something I might say take it. Not to a PL rival though

 

I can't see us getting 70+ for him. There's only a few teams who can afford that. Especially considering his injury record.

I would love to keep him. He has proven to be a scoring machine before his injury and is finally coming back.

 

Selling him would be another big mistake to add to our previous errors when it comes to selling talented players.

 

He's good, no doubt, and we're better off in theory with depth, but the 2 issues are:

1. He's not happy playing this role. Waiting for Nico's form to drop so he can get some PL minutes is beneath him and he knows it
2. Profile-wise, he's similar to Nico in a lot of ways. Neither of them is very physical or an aerial threat. Ideally, our backup striker would offer something different.

All that to say: he's good, and we want good players. As Nico insurance we could do a lot worse. And yeah getting an offer of 70+ in unlikely, especially in January. But I'd really consider taking it if we did

 

But then we'd need another striker.

 

He won’t make too much of a fuss for a Jan move, even if he’s internally making it clear he isn’t a fan of playing second fiddle, but it will be out there in the summer. How we finish and the chance of UCL will have a major impact.

 

Rumors today suggesting Mbuemo could be the guy for us to back up Jacko

What do we think?

 

No thanks we don’t need more attacking players. We need a top class GK and clear out some dead wood.

 

Agree.

BUT

What if Nkunku actually does force his way out and we need a replacement for that spot? Unlikely in Jan but if he did?

I think we could do a lot worse...

 

Not gonna happen in Jan but even if it did… pass. We have more than enough cover with our options.

 

Now linked with Isak, who I think is great, but we really just don’t need right now. We can barely get minutes for Nkunku, Felix, and Sancho.

 

Just cause we’re Chelsea we’re linked… don’t give it a second thought

 

On the other hand, seems like these links to Goku or however you spell his name might have actual legs...
