Literally ideal for our RW, hasn’t there been some character related issues at Chelsea recently tho? Has he been starting games or on the bench?

Has he been starting games or on the bench? I'm all for the no-dickheads policy but there has to be a time as a manager that you back yourself to make it work. I don't think Madueke is necessarily a bad egg either, just your modern day footballer with a touch of arrogance. If there's anything bad about his character, Gordon will know, probably Hall and Tino too. If Howe can turn Gordon into a leading PL winger, he could possibly do even better with Madueke. Physically he's immense, quick, strong, can go both ways with his feet. Looks like another big game player too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was in blinding form earlier in the season, has he fallen out with the manager recently? Wasn’t he benched for something which sounded like a fallout or conduct issues Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Front six next year: Gordon Isak Madueke Joelinton Bruno Tonali Add a CB and a keeper and your talking top 4 as a minimum IMO. (Perhaps need some depth to the squad added too). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t he benched for something which sounded like a fallout or conduct issues Seems he's certainly out of favour but Maresca is ruthless. He's quite happy just to ostracise players who are no longer in his plans, they also have loads of players in similar positions, Neto, Sancho, Palmer etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has he been starting games or on the bench? No issues IMO. Chelsea will probably push that narrative because if they need sales (which they will) people will be forced out. Chelsea next season have got Sancho / Felix / Esteavo / Neto for wide areas, and Madueke probably the one that's got a market due to lower wages so we should take advantage.

They've also got Sterling coming back too So probably got to suck up most of his wages even if they get him back out on loan. Would like us to sniff around Chukwuemeka too from them if available for £20m. He's a perfect CM for current Premier League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I do agree with @SUPERTOONthat Dibling is another great option. I wouldn't put it past Chelsea to add Dibling to their stockpile either.

With the way we’ve managed Tino and Hall, we’d have to be a sensible pick for the kid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling we won’t add a RW until summer as they either won’t be available this month or will cost too much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronson333 Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago I think Dibling has a higher ceiling than Maduke, but we’ll have to take the patient Hall style approach for 6-12 months before we see his full potential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
