They have not got a hope of shifting these players. Wages and contracts. It's a rather silly story thst should be between the senior executives, manager and the part owner and we should not be hearing it especially not when said players are headed for an fa cup final. That said, they have probably gone and paid agents to start hawking players about and that's started the churn
Read an article about him the other month with interviews from former team mates, managers etc. very intelligent footballer, like a sponge for info and an absolute shoo-in to become a great manager after retirement.
Timo Werner's out for the rest of the season - misses a Stamford Bridge return on Thursday but also potentially means we've seen the last of him in a Spurs shirt. It'll be interesting to see if we make that permanent or not. He's done alright and for £15m I think it's a good squad option to have but I think there may be people wanting better than Werner offers.
Gallagher is up for sale this summer, 50m. With Thiago Silva going as well, I don’t even know what I like about this club anymore.
It'll be interesting to see what clubs have scope to buy a player like gallagher and what clubs think ffp is already dead.
I'm torn on that valuation for Gallagher. My immediate reaction is to scoff at it considering the length of contract he has left. They got £55m for Mount and he was considered a much better talent. I also think Spurs being the only team consistently linked will make that a saga. That club has a reputation for getting players in on the terms they want and are also more than happy to walk away from any deal if it's not the terms they want. There's also a part of me that thinks just keep an eye out on Arsenal, for two reasons. Firstly, we have developed this out of possession variation to our approach to games where thre's an emphasis on pressing and being very difficult to play through....Conor Gallagher, for all his faults going forward sometimes, is a good player without the ball. And we managed to carve out a role for Havertz in midfield based on his off the ball work.....why not Gallagher? Secondly, Arsenal and Chelsea like doing business. It has to be, certainly in the top 6 at least, the most frequent path of business in the premier league. Over the last twenty years, a lot of players have moved between the clubs. We'll have to see, I think there's a real internal debate going on at Arsenal at the moment about maybe moving Havertz permanently up front. A report even come out this morning that Jesus is available for the right price. This would open up the midfield for a profile like Gallagher.
He’s also been linked with Newcastle. I think he suits the way both of those teams play too tbf Arsenal seem to focus a lot on technical ability these days so I’m not sure I can see Arteta being interested. Maybe Liverpool though? Henderson 2.0
We'd go for him if Klopp was staying and he was cheaper imo. Doubt we'd pay €50m+ for a squad option though but who knows.
Newcastle makes a lot.of sense. Howe loves an inferior English player or six. They have the fake revenues coming to afford to bail you out. Slot wouldn't want him. He will want someone who can stand at cb and 6 if needed not a player who runs about kicking people then diving around
They'll pay 150 and then say they got 70 back for luamau independently to dodge the ffp temporarily. The fun thing is the lad will get an acl or forget how to play football.
Disrespectful to Hendo a PL & CL winning captain (and sellout) comparing him to Robbie Savage's lovechild who reeks of midtable.
Any team prepared to fork out £110m or whatever it is for Osimhen should at least try and tempt Newcastle with the same money for Isak.
