Do you think he suits down the middle more than out wide then,still fear he ends up going out on loan instead of Elanga
I remember Tim Vickers the South American journo saying he seen/or it was mentioned that his playing style was very similar to David Silva.

Silva converted into the centre so I can’t see why he couldn’t. Obviously there’s a clear gap in ability and talent between the two. But if he was as good as Silva I’m sure he would be getting a lot more minutes for us.

Makes a little more sense with the injury news on Pulisic being out for at least 2 months. Probably a solid loan move for them.

Can't wait to see him in action. What the front line and formation will look like with him in the team? will he play as left winger/inside forward or a second striker? Chelsea, just like Arsenal and Man Utd, need another out and out striker. There is a strong demand for striker in transfer market.

There is rumor that Raphinha may be made available in the market as he didn't do so well in Barcelona.

You do what you need to do within your mean to improve the squad. Rashford is in red hot form now and you just need to bring in cover for Martial to replace CR7. Arsenal has only Nketiah with no back up as Jesus is probably out for the season. I am not sure if the plan to bring in Mudryk is to move Martinelli centrally to provide competition or cover for the striker position.

The whole deal seems a little odd. It's going to cost Chelsea around 20m for a 5 month period. They're out of league cup & FA cup - and let's assume they beat Dortmund make it to quarter finals of the Champions league before they get eliminated. That's a total of 25 matches left. Again assuming he plays every game, we're looking at a total outlay of about 800k per match for a player who will need time to adapt.

I'd get it if they bought him outright or at least had an option to buy him but he's committed to Atlético till 2027 ?? Unless he goes gung-ho from his first match, they've been robbed due to their desperation.

Is that a surprise - he wasn't that great in sheep country!

Looks a lot better than Havertz but not as dangerous as Reid or Willian and how much did they cost :lol:

Hes very good, along with Zakaria and Lewis Hall imo. Mount has been looking bang average but at times there looks like some chemistry could be brewing with Felix.

Zero end product whatsoever, he’ll be exposed for the overhyped wasteful fraud he is over the next 5 months.
His first game in a foreign country, playing with people he's never played with before - wow you're harsh!

I'm intrigued to know how highly this kid is rated. He seems like one of those that everyone is determined to hype up, but ultimately he's Brandon Williams.
I like him, I think he's a lot better than Cucurella anyway.
