Sibierski Posted August 30, 2024 Share Posted August 30, 2024 Surprised no club is making a play for Madueke. Guess most teams are holding off till January where Chelsea will be in even more of a pickle to get fees and players wanting out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Not exactly enough windows to suggest an ironclad pattern though. And it was still something 25% for the immediate squad last summer, and one who was immediately loaned out back to Europe. We've lately shown a preference for PL experience, but given last summer, it hasn't been exclusive. We also brought in someone from the European leagues for our youth set up, so we obviously have a scouting network for Europe. It's these incomplete assumptions that I find disappointing.
