With such transfer fee there is always chance of massive failure and unwarranted attention of media.For his age Haaland is truly remarkable.With reduced release clause next year there will several suitors for him next ssn. even though his agent is a big money sucker but at 75 odd millions clubs like Man Utd,PSG everyone will join the band wagon.This is now or never situation for Chelsea.
Agree but then we have Hudson Odoi at 80k+ weekly wages and tbh he has shown little to prove that he deserved even 1/10th of that.But as you rightly pointed out any future transfer for star players would have them expecting a comparable wages and even the existing team players would ask for some kind of parity if not same wages.Chelsea currently have Kante as their highest earner with wages of around 290k/week.Haaland would obviously command somewhere is region of 350k/week surely.
Well honestly saying, we spent around 200 million last summer. Most of them did not performed upto expectation. Specially Hakim Ziyech. I don't want us to spend 150-200 for a player and then he flop here. There is also that striker curse in Stamford bridge. Also there is unnecessary pressure to justify the price tag. Add to that his agent is a not so great person. He will spread his venom to the whole club. Tomorrow morning Haaland will wake up and say that i won't come to practice session and will join Real Madrid. Let him go IMO. No need to break our financial structure. 1 player alone can not win you everything. Otherwise Barca would have won everything. Also we need a CB.
We should offload all of them in this window and find some cheaper GK replacement. Kepa is not starting for us again. Opposition shot at post just after seeing that Kepa is the Keeper. Leicester did it in FA cup.
Simeone is Mourinho 2.0 but being humble and non controversial he escapes criticism for anti football tactics.His team just plays like the way Prime Jose's Chelsea or Inter used to play.His tactics are not meant for likes of Felix who by all means is not a brute force which Simeone likes his players to be.In 2015 Koke and Saul used to be the most sought after young players in world.But the former played his entire prime as a wide right midfielder even though he had no attributes of a wide man and later played in variety of positions ranging from LB to Striker.Arda Turan expressed his frustration at chasing ball entire match even when Atletico were dominant team on papers.It was no surprise that Atletico under Simeone had their best years when he had the likes of Costa,Godin,Miranda in his team.
Are some one should buy them right?The Italians only want dry loan with majority of wages to be borne by Selling team.
If Drinkwater won't go, then he will leave for free next year. But i am sure someone will buy Kepa. He was decent in his first season. And probably Kepa is the reason, i don't want Chelsea to sign Haaland. Massive transfer fees and wages and then they will flop. We should definitely wait till next year and then go for him.
