Looks like one or both of Pulisic and Ziyech are off. I'm interested in what we're doing about Havertz. I have long suspected he has his eyes on joining Bayern eventually, and my gut feeling is he won't want to sign a contract extension with Chelsea, so we'll have to make a decision on him one way or the other too as we can't allow him to wind down his contract on purpose.
Because he's neither a striker or a wide forward. He's somewhere in-between, much like Mount and Havertz. He's [probably] better than both of them but he has the same positional ambiguity about him. Maybe Harry Potter will make it work.Can see the Chelsea fans with excitement on twitter, it seems like a very good deal. Not sure however if he comes in as a striker or wide forward. Think it will also take him time to adjust to the league irrespective of who he signed for.
Hope he is another Werner, there is always hope.That's a decent price for him, though he isn't looking as good atm but there's a year still.
If any long term issues were found out now the buying club can plan accordingly.A potentially very dumb question, but what was the point in him doing a medical last summer for a move this summer. He’ll have to do a further medical at the time prior to insurance sign off anyway.
Guess it's also a way to say: "We wanted him last summer but it didn't work out (yet are still very interested)."If any long term issues were found out now the buying club can plan accordingly.
Someone is terrified at the thought of Boehly's Boyz.Another attacking flop for Chelsea.
Fair point. No reason to wait a season for someone with cheese strings for ligaments.If any long term issues were found out now the buying club can plan accordingly.
Yeah it's probably just a part of the club's due diligence process but surely that's only necessary if the player has a known history of injury problems? Nkunku only has two recorded injuries for a whopping total of 7 games over his career so far according to his transfermarkt page which is usually quite accurate so clearly that's not the case here.If any long term issues were found out now the buying club can plan accordingly.
Why? Endrick stays in Brazil for the next couple of years regardless of who signs him, no?In the case of the signing of Nkunku would the signing of Endrick be ruled out?
In theory Endrick will spend 2 years in Brazil and then come to Europe. If Nkunku performs well, and is young, he still thinks he won't have many minutes.Why? Endrick stays in Brazil for the next couple of years regardless of who signs him, no?
Is that someone Graham Potter?Someone is terrified at the thought of Boehly's Boyz.
That doesn’t make any sense. Whoever signs him, whether it be Barca, Real or someone else, won’t avoid signing attackers because of a 16 year old in Brazil who’s required to stay in Brazil for at least another 2 years anyway.In theory Endrick will spend 2 years in Brazil and then come to Europe.

Yeah. It's actually a good time to sign him + someone else.That doesn’t make any sense. Whoever signs him, whether it be Barca, Real or someone else, won’t avoid signing attackers because of a 16 year old in Brazil who’s required to stay in Brazil for at least another 2 years anyway.
Endrick will sign when he's 18, I think. And when Nkunku signs Endrick will be 17 years old.That doesn’t make any sense.

For Chelsea, there are plenty of moving parts. We don't know what Sterling will look like 2 years from now, Pulisic and Ziyech, likely Havertz too likely won't be at Chelsea by then either, so yeah signing Nkunku will have no bearing on Endrick's future.Yeah. It's actually a good time to sign him + someone else.
You know he's here in 2 years time. Sign an attacker on a 5 year deal, in year 3 they're both at the club and then you make a call on whether on who's going to be your solution for the 3 years after that.
You say that as if Barca won't sign any attackers in the next two years. I'm fairly sure Depay and Torres will be gone by then, and who knows what Lewa and Dembele look like in 2 years. Same goes for Real Madrid. Whoever signs him, will have signed other attackers between now and when Endrick is 18, and thus he's going to choose the club sells him the best project but also the club he would personally like to play/live for the most.Endrick will sign when he's 18, I think. And when Nkunku signs Endrick will be 17 years old.
And there he will see in which teams he will have more options to play.
If Nkunku performs at Chelsea at the same level as in Germany, the Brazilian's options will be minimal.
Oh we're absolutely terrified pal.Someone is terrified at the thought of Boehly's Boyz.
