Summer Transfer window

Chelsea at it again. I've probably not seen enough of him, but I don't think Gittens massively improves Chelsea.

They have a scattergun approach to the transfer window. They need to buy 2-3 players maximum for specific positions to improve their team imo.

 

Is he the next big thing then? Never watch any foreign footy tbh

 

I haven’t seen that much of him tbh mate

 

Gittens is decent, he’s no better than Madueke who they trying to bin off.

They are off their tits.

 

That Chelsea bid kinda puts a bit of context on our Jobe asking price. Dortmund will be thinking they’re signing Jobe to develop and sell in the way they have done with Gittens. But we’re asking for more than Chelsea are bidding for Gittens. They’ll see it as the wrong way round

 

I like him but not sure he's ready right now to be the starting left winger for a team that must have ambitions to win trophies this season. The left winger market is quite weak at the moment though.

 

They can see it which way they want

we are back in the big league now and dont need to sell

 

agreed. We’ll only need to sell if Jobe kicks off.

(I know we won’t need to sell if he kicks off but we shouldn’t keep a player here against their will if we want to be seen as the place to come as a young player)

 

I said the other week I think this bloke will flop away from Dortmund

let’s see

 

I was listening to Libero podcast today and Jonathan Wilson was talking about the sports washing project at PSG and outlined how their president Al-Khelaifi has basically tied up the top level of football by having so many conflicts of interest at the top tables - In addition to being PSG chairman, he's president of BeIN Sports group who have the TV deals of Ligue 1, the Champions League and the Euros. He's also on the UEFA executive committee as the chairman of the European Club Association.

I don't know how sports washing projects in Gulf states work, but I'd be interested to know if Qatar basically owning UEFA is pushing Saudi down the route of trying to own FIFA as a rivalry or if it's mutually beneficial for both of them.

 

Bournemouth linked with Bakayoko for £20million. We have to be in that picture, surely?

 

Signing Henderson won’t change the fact we probably need another 1-2 in here when jobe leaves. Need a big physical beast in there to do what jobe did

 

I wish we’d make our first signing (after lee fee) to see what direction we are going in

haway

 

I will scratch my head if we aren’t looking at this. £20million?

Hasn’t blown up as expected but he’s still a beat, a great age and close to 20 Belgium caps already.

 

He will be a good player if bournemouth want him, they make some great signings

 

He is a very good player, if a bit inconsistent and raw.

Pacey , strong and direct. Scores goals as well.

Position we aren’t desperate for but we do need Mundle plus 1 at least.

 

Plays the other side to mundle though no?

 

Seems a solid move if they pull it off.

 

Aye he’s left sided plays off the right, should have said ‘we need one for each side’

Bakayoko-Paddy
Mundle-?

Thinking about CDM Hjumland very tidy for Denmark.
Been linked to big rather than massive clubs, affordable as in Portugal.

Ambitious. Not impossible?
