He might have started in the formation like that but he never stays wide that's for sure. Similar to Mata he would wonder around but let's not make out that he's a wide player in any sense.
Sancho is more of a RW than Havertz
Agreed, doesn't mean we should rule out Havertz though as i think he may be more gettable with BVB wanted top dollar for someone who they pretty much tapped up.
With Sancho's whole package it shouldn't be easy to get him. I'd be surprised if we got him early and I'm prepared to not get him at all this transfer window
. A bit like De Ligt. We know Barcelona would have been first choice if they paid up and there was space for him. Similarly Bayern would be first choice for Havertz if they could pay up and guarantee him starting place.Yeah I certainly get the distinct impression they are his first choice,however much like De Ligt with Barca may go elsewhere.
Barca are broke, they need to sell players just to break even.
I would say Bayern ( but they probably want it to happen next year )
Even if he waits one more year for Bayern I still can't see them paying up. Might as well leave now
Because they need a winger.
Let that logic also be a lesson to many in this thread!
He has 2yrs left on his contract
Might as well wait for one more season then if he really wants Bayern
Pulisic was accounted for the previous season as we signed him in January of 2019 and loaned him back to BVB for the remainder of the season. Kovacic was the only expenditure this year. Morata's loan becomes an obligation to buy this summer, so that more or less offsets Werner's fee. We thus still have a significant portion of the Hazard money plus three windows' worth of budget.
I think they could if they absolutely needed too, but dont think they’ll risk it, no.
Who will they prioritise?
Sané is going to Bayern and he is a priority over Havertz. They desperately need a third winger and Havertz would be the heir for the „Müller role“ behind the striker.
Do they need a winger ? They have coman gnabry and muller for wide positions right.
Ziyech plays on the right coming infield. There’s also very little creatively in the Chelsea side outside of Ziyech (who hasn’t even joined yet). Havertz would slot in perfectly.
Coman’s a sick note, Müller plays centrally and a little deeper these days.
Yeah we would have room for him but cannot see any way that Sancho & Havertz come in unless Pogba leaves in this window and that's starting to look very unlikely.
How reliable is Laurie Whitwell? Did he mention anything about Sancho as it'd be interesting if we are going for both
Also if Chelsea play 4-2-3-1 then it's basically between Mount and Barkley for the 10 role; Havertz would be an astronomical upgrade over either.
He's a good journo and worth listening to imo. And from my understanding of what's being reported, it looks like it will be Sancho and one of Havertz, Grealish or VdB that will be bought.
We’ve got room but that’s bringing in two World Class players to replace squad players who today are unlikely to play much football at all.
Good to know. Hopefully that will be Havertz but have a feeling we might end up with Grealish if Vila goes down
Havertz could play in several positions and I'd personally like to see him up front as a striker if he's bought with our current personnel. He can also contribute as a wide forward and can be deployed as a #8. Which gives him a advantage over Grealish imo.
Exactly. People already worry about if there is room or how to fit Pogba and Bruno ...
He could also be deployed as a striker. Could play as a wide forward and his output has been pretty good on the flank. And like I mentioned in my previous post, he could also be deployed as #8.
