Shearergol Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 You’re right though, the Portuguese international linked with a move to Bayern is probably more famous. We should sign him, albeit in Bruno’s position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 How many CB do Chelsea need?? I know they have lost Silva but they already have more than they can actually play Badiashile Disasi Chalobah Colwill Fofana Gilchrist Sarr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggy Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Could see Chalobah being sold for FFP reasons. Either that or just sell another hotel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of them have looked very unconvincing for the prices that Chelsea paid even though they were apparently highly regarded before they were bought.

I think that is fair but a new manager will be coming in and they are all young/high potential so can't see them writing them off already Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why so many times we're linked with a player outside of these teams there's these comments of having never heard of them and sometimes whining about them not being good enough. So not surprised by your comment really. He's clearly so unexceptional that the likes of Liverpool, Man Utd, Chelsea and AC Milan have all been interested in him. Good or bad that would describe me to a tee, outside of nufc and who we are playing at the time (maybe) i couldnt careless Having said that i Have a slight intrest in mancity inter barca az alkmaar dortmund and norwich (local team) due to FM I Just dont have that much time or intrest in other football to care to learn the stats/skill/do the research into 4000+ player in the PL alone, i dont go buy whos "interested" in them because as nufc have shown you cant trust anything anyone says Its all smoke and mirrors all the time, goodluck to him wether in liverpool barca ac milan or even newcastle Who said he wasnt good enough without watching him, wasnt me Edited May 28 by danny Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 1 hour ago, geordiesteve710 said: And clearly so unbelievably exceptional that they have all made big-money bids to buy him rather than just waiting until his contract expires to try and get him on a free. If we're going down the route of sarcasm. I didn't mean to come across as saying he wasn't good enough btw, the signs are he would be a good addition to the squad and if he wants to come I hope we get him. Just at the same time I haven't seen or heard anything that would lead me to be overly upset if we missed out on him. There are plenty of players who play for other non-Sky6 teams who stand out more than this lad- off the top of my head Gueye who plays in the same position as well as numerous other players at Palace, his teammate Palhinha, who have all stood out on the odd occasion I've seen them (you're right, I don't watch many Palace or Fulham games) and who get more headlines than this lad. That can't just be put down to ignorance of the clubs involved. Fair enough. We'll have to agree to disagree on Tosin. Hopefully we sign him and we can then all see for ourselves.

Checko Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 1 hour ago, Froggy said: In regard to this guy, I actually can't believe that we're not more involved in his transfer. With Varane going and Lindelof's exit possible, we're in desperate need for another centre back. I'd say Adarabioyo would start for us at the minute and likely play 40-50 times. We've our own FFP restrictions this summer. We should be all over this. I'm guessing you'll make an offer - and as a free agent he'd be a fool not to wait for all the offers to come in. Do you think the uncertainty around your manager situation is slowing you down here? Both you and Chelsea are more prestigous, can presumably offer more money and the potential of immediate European football, which I'd imagine is a draw for a footballer who's never played in Europe. Chelsea would also basically guarantee him a silly contract and then an attempt to flip him for FFP profit in a couple of years. Our one advantage in negotiations is that we have managerial stability right now & the boss definitely wants him and has a clear plan for him, and has a good track record in improving players. With our CB injuries he'll definitely get a decent shot - he would be the obvious long-term Schar successor if he's good. This is a massive contract & career decision for him though, so he shouldn't rush it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 1 hour ago, duo said: How many CB do Chelsea need?? I know they have lost Silva but they already have more than they can actually play Badiashile - jury's out Disasi - most consider bad Chalobah - might be sold FFP Colwill - injury prone Fofana - perma injured Gilchrist - who? Sarr - didn't even know he existed You're right - Chelsea could/should persist with 4 of these + 1 injury prone player. But they won't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under managers both teams have dumped, or are likely to, to be fair. I do get why a player waits for all offers though and joins for his own reasons, of course. If those reasons for joining us aren't good enough, then qué sera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've our own FFP restrictions this summer. We should be all over this. It's why I still consider this to be a transfer rumour, I could well imagine Man U coming in and and him ending up going there. He's a free agent, daft to think this is all done and dusted when there will be other interested parties. Until the cartel stranglehold is broken, they will always have the pulling power if they really want a player, and can't really blame the player if he chooses one of them over us right now.

Abacus Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Whenever a deal is reported as close, but then it isn't essentially done and other rumours emerge, there's a feeling you are being used as a bargaining chip. Who would have leaked it? Doubt it would be us. Can't see why Fulham would either, since he's off on a free. Could be wrong and usually am. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hhtoon Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 I wonder if there are Man U and Chelsea fans bemoaning the fact that he's sure to sign with us as their manager situations are all over the shop. Complete guesswork but if I was a player, I'd want to speak to the man I'd be dealing with on a daily basis rather than an exec. On the other hand, I'm sure any agents have their own agenda (££) and it's not necessarily what's best long term. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
