He is starting today anyway.
Do any managers in the Prem just openly talk about wanting other team's players like this? Seems very strange.Tweet

70m pounds for this player who is not even a regular starter for Chelsea? In the current climate? What a jokeThey're literally Loan FC with the army of talent they send out yearly but won't accept one in this case?
Yes all Chelsea deals seem fishy, with sane and gnabry, why would they need him? He's not even a regular starterHonestly don't know why Bayern have such a hard on for him, it made sense when he was potentially going to be available on a free but now? They must be seeing something I'm not (which tbh is more than likely)
Do you honestly believe we would ever offer something like that? We didn't want to buy Havertz due to him being too expensive and he is A LOT more proven than CHO.If they offer loan with obligation to buy for 70m. I would take it; infact youd be mental not to. Salihamidzic is a massive fan of his
Depends how much you really want him. Its more likely he stays right now anyway, IMO.Do you honestly believe we would ever offer something like that? We didn't want to buy Havertz due to him being too expensive and he is A LOT more proven than CHO.
There is a chance for a loan with a high buyout clause but it'd be similar to Coutinho ie one we don't plan to ever use unless something really exceptional happens.
There is literally no upside for Chelsea in sending CHO on loan to Bayern with no obligation to buy. So unless Bayern are for some reason really in love with him and agree to the obligation to buy arrangement and for a fee big enough to make Chelsea consider, then attempting to schedule meetings with Chelsea seems a bit pointless.Do you honestly believe we would ever offer something like that?

It always seems a PL thing to me to pretend managers/clubs are not eyeing other clubs' goods. It's just the reality of the business, i don't understand the fuss about it.Do any managers in the Prem just openly talk about wanting other team's players like this? Seems very strange.
Talking openly about other team's player just very disrespectful. If he is a free agent it's not problem, but Hudson-Odoi still has a contract with Chelsea.It always seems a PL thing to me to pretend managers/clubs are not eyeing other clubs' goods.

Every club does it, it's pure hypocrisy to get all holier than thou about it. The vast majority of transfers are players with running contracts and in the end nobidy sheds a tear or loses sleep about it, so why can we not drop the fake outrage about it.Talking openly about other team's player just very disrespectful.

Not every club does it, especially the big clubs. Imagine if someone like Ancelotti talking openly about wanting to sign Muller or Davies, i would be shocked if Flick and Salihamidzic aren't angry about it.Every club does it, it's pure hypocrisy to get all holier than thou about it.

Yes, it's their job to be, or rather, to keep a potent squad together and act accordingly. I, as a fan, would scoff at the endeavour and think them silly to try, in the example at hand. Yet i think it's every club's / manager's business how they go about trying to get their targets, in the end they can only hurt their own chances when talking openly about them, by driving prices up for example. It doesn't hurt my feelings or pride when it happens.Not every club does it, especially the big clubs.

Fair enough, if you doesn't feel anything when other club trying to unsettle your player.Yes, it's their job to be, or rather, to keep a potent squad together and act accordingly.

See, Thiago wasn't talked about (publicly) by Pool and he still left. What have we gained here? Feck all.Fair enough, if you doesn't feel anything when other club trying to unsettle your player.
Nope, Bayern still gained plenty:See, Thiago wasn't talked about (publicly) by Pool and he still left. What have we gained here? Feck all.
If Bayern give Chelsea an option of loan with £70m obligation I reckon they will snap their arms off. CHO obviously has a lot of potential but it is only that atm. £70m is essentially what they paid for Harvetz.If i was CHO, I'd push for this transfer. When Ziyech and Pulisic are fit, its gonna be tough to get to into the XI on the wings. Havertz and Werner will rarely be dropped. Bayern are in for you again, so they must really rate you. Gnarby, Zane and Coman is formidable competition but he would get game time. Plus he would win many many trophies with Bayern and possibly a CL or two.
Get that loan turned into an obligation to buy and get the deal done. Chelsea are a big club but this is Bayern Munich we are talking about.
Id take that. I think there is a very good player in CHO, just lot to learn and admittedly apart from West Brom last week, I have only seen him play really well in carabao cup/fa cup games against lower league teams; and against weaker european teams. Not to say he is poor every other time, but he doesnt make me think "wow". £70m for him guaranteed next summer, we'd be utter loonies to turn it down. A loan with option to buy will get laughed out i suspect.If Bayern give Chelsea an option of loan with £70m obligation I reckon they will snap their arms off.

It's a bogus rumour.If Bayern give Chelsea an option of loan with £70m obligation I reckon they will snap their arms off. CHO obviously has a lot of potential but it is only that atm. £70m is essentially what they paid for Harvetz.
They're not going to offer £70 million for CHO. Not in a million years.If Bayern give Chelsea an option of loan with £70m obligation I reckon they will snap their arms off. CHO obviously has a lot of potential but it is only that atm. £70m is essentially what they paid for Harvetz.
Hence, me start with the caveat of 'if'.They're not going to offer £70 million for CHO. Not in a million years.
Good.kicker saying our pursuit is off.
I guess so. Keep him warm for usGood.
See you in a couple of months when Bayern decide third time might indeed be lucky.
You can start our fund for replacing him with sancho. Im sure thatll go down great on here.I guess so. Keep him warm for us
Nah, Bayern will just buy Sancho next summer themselves.You can start our fund for replacing him with sancho. Im sure thatll go down great on here.
No worries. I look forward to the same outcome againI guess so. Keep him warm for us
Maybe he's out of Frank's favor by then, or, not that i wish him anything of the sort, injured for a longer period of time, so a scenario similar to our waiting game for Sané may apply. Or not, we'll see.No worries. I look to the same outcome again
This was over when he signed his new contract.Maybe he's out of Frank's favor by then, or, not that i wish him anything of the sort, injured for a longer period of time, so a scenario similar to our waiting game for Sané may apply. Or not, we'll see.
I think Bayern's problem is the best you can promise him is perhaps being a backup at a better club where domestic trophies are a certainty. I don't how see how he can expect more game time at Bayern when everyone's fit. You never know though, and perhaps a change of scenery can entice him if he's still mostly a backup come January or next summer. Bayern would still have to pay up though.Maybe he's out of Frank's favor by then, or, not that i wish him anything of the sort, injured for a longer period of time, so a scenario similar to our waiting game for Sané may apply.

Injuries well and truly fecked him. He hasn’t been the same since. I’d hoped he could show something at Leverkusen but that ended up being a very disappointing loan for all involved. I hope he can rebuild his career again. He was absolutely flying when he got that horrible injury.Undergoing a medical with Nottingham Forest.
After fighting tooth and nail to keep him from joining Bayern, it’s a shame how this one has turned out. Not the first or last time this will happen.
