If he wants the easy life of picking up a pay packet in fractured clubs with no direction then he can suit himself. Or we could just wait for him to make a decision Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 (edited) He can afford to take his time and so will probably wait to talk to whichever managers take over at both clubs. As someone mentioned already, missing out on Tosin, likely means some of the summer budget will then need to go towards a centre back. This will likely mean we can't go as big on a right winger. There's been talk of us targeting Olise at his £60 million release clause, but that might be contingent on Tosin coming in on a free. If that doesn't work out, we've been linked a fair bit with Huijsen (centre back) and Soule (right winger) from Juventus, at a cost of around £60 million for both, and so we probably then go down that sort of path. Without the Conference League now, which we would have gone all out for, we can probably afford to go down the road of bringing in high potential younger players as we have done previously, as we are less likely to have as much of a need for more experienced players to come in with a ton more games to play. Think this may also affect the goal keeper position too, with the talk of Trafford being looked at now, instead of a move for Mamardashvili. Comfortable with whichever way this one plays out now we aren't in Europe this year. Edited May 27 by KaKa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may well go to Chelsea and who knows what his reasons for that actually would be. Just find it strange you've decided he's definitely going there when all he's done at this stage is listen to the offers available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 (edited) 21 minutes ago, Joelinton7 said: I’m talking about this season with the money they’ve spent They are playing the long game, their transfer strategy is nowhere near as scatter gun as people tend to make out. At the end of this summers window they will have assembled an near entirely new squad over 2 seasons, it’s a massive project. Yes some of those players won’t make it, but they have extreme quality throughout the youngest squad in the league.. if you zoom out a bit you can see that they have every right to believe they will be serious players again in 2/3 seasons time. Being ruthless with managers is nothing new to that club, and it’s never seemed to stop them winning things either. Edited May 27 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Nixon who was the first to release this story is hinting that it's down to Tosin's side angling for more money ie agents and/or signing on fee. We've made our offer and it's now game of poker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joelinton7 Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Well, looks like Maresca is next. Even Chelsea fans are saying Boehly only wants “yes men”. Hopefully EM is ok with having players bought for him, thus not being able to implement his own systems and having Boehly pull HT stunts in the dressing room.

It's not easy to make yourself a free agent, would expect him to take full advantage of it and not make hasty decisions. If that means he's not coming here, it's a shame but we move on and sign someone else, not that big of a deal. Edited May 28 by Pata Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you are basically saying that you believe that these cream of the cream, driven and talented young sportsmen—who are all going to have a comfortable life financially because the rewards available in their sport—have no ambition or desire to make a difference, to be needed, and be part of a team in which they feel they can thrive. That nothing matters but the bottomline? Do you honestly think that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
