    I just think there's a difference playing for the current Newcastle lot (like Villa, or Leeds, or Wolves) and a top 4 side. There is a strictness about it, a cold professionalism that not everyone responds to. He's no longer idolised, he's just another winger at Chelsea, some players just don't respond to it.

    I think at Newcastle, where he would be a main man duo with ASM, he'd enjoy himself more and players like him - I think - work better being free. Not saying he'd only thrive at Newcastle, that would be myopic, but if he'd gone to, say, Villa I'd be thinking "****, they really are getting serious". And I'm not singling out Chelsea, but for me he's probably going to have a Grealish season.

    It happens a lot - Grealish hardly stood out, Sancho was poor, Werner and Lukaku both struggled, Ziyech, Ferran Torres, Bergwijn, etc.

    I don’t like him: he is a good player but 60m plus. Wow!

    They have so many players in that kind of position that currently don’t perform.

    Surely Chelsea must be releasing some players to accommodate him.

    Ziyech most likely, but I'd imagine they'd like to clear out Werner, Saul, Batshuayi, RLC?

    He's just a class player mate.. Can score pass and is quick. Max is dog **** in comparison.

    I think he'll thrive at Chelsea

    It does make it look alot better value... Tbh I think 40 seems the figure you'd expect, but prices for fwd players that score goals in this league are absolutely huge.

    Given that he was another one i suggested back in 2021 (along with Botman) I'm obviously now expecting this to happen.

    It ok peeps, just go google him and you'll see.

    The Leeds fans seem to reckon he works his socks off too so contributes quite a bit defensively.
