    Richarlison

    Yeah ok….seriously what is going on with Richy? Turn down the Everton move because you think you’ll get paid more elsewhere. I get that. But then the Turkey move doesn’t happen. Now what? Is he betting on Saudi now? Was it Saudi all along? Does he want to go home to Brazil? Genuinely what is...

    Richarlison

    I don’t think he’s saying that he had no say in the decision. He’s making the point that if someone doesn’t want to stay he has no other option than to leave them out, because he only wants players that want to be here.

    Richarlison

    Definitely seems like Richy tinkled off the club with his actions in the last few days.

    Tosin Adarabioyo

    Just from the social media videos Tosin seems very mature, level headed, smart, articulate. I think he’s going to bring a good mentality and be useful around the place. And clearly will suit De Zerbi’s football more the Danso.

    ENIC

    He had his chance to play football animal last summer and messed it up.

    Richarlison

    And to add, maybe part of the calculation was ‘is Ndiaye worth the fee, and paying Richy off, and potentially setting a bad precedent to other players, or actually is Mudryk on a loan far less hassle and maybe a higher ceiling, albeit with more risk attached?’ And so we moved quickly that way...

    Richarlison

    Yeah, I think if it was as simple as paying Richy’s loyalty bonus to make it all go through, eg 2m to make 35m on the transfer to Everton, vs 25m to Turkey…I think we probably would have done it. It makes no sense not to. Which makes me think something else was going on here. Eg Ndiaye was...

    Mathys Tel

    This is what I don’t understand about the Tel analysis among our fanbase…if you watched the Brentford game you would have seen him beat his man repeatedly. Against Hoffenheim he did it too. And it isn’t all knock and run. I agree that speed of thought to action is a key thing, and hopefully...

    Mathys Tel

    Agreed. When people say they ‘don’t see it’ with Tel it really surprises me. He has pace, he can beat a man with skill, he can put in a great cross and has a mean shot. He is also clearly determined and has a smart head on his shoulders. I think he just needs a run to put it all together...

    Mykhailo Mudryk

    Yes, it’s a combination of creating space by press baiting and then rehearsed moves to exploit the space that has been created. I think it may be the case that when Mudryk has to think / improvise more, he may not be the best player. But his speed, balance and dribbling ability, pointed in the...

    Richarlison

    Looks like it’s probably 10m less than Everton on the fee, but 3x the salary. Makes me laugh, the insta post appeal to the emotion and plight of the footballer being traded around. It’s totally fair enough, he didn’t want to move for a deal that benefitted the club but meant he earned less...

    Richarlison

    Looks like he’s going to Turkey for 3x the salary. Good on him! And good on us! Works out for all sides.

    What did RDZ do here?

    Mykhailo Mudryk

    Isn’t 75m just the figure that Chelsea would have to accept if we bid it? Like Tel’s was 60m. So just like we renegotiated Tel’s fee, we could do the same for Mudryk. Of course it’s then about risking it on the open market and other teams could come in, but if RDZ is successful in reviving the...

    Transfer thread

    Think we can muddle through with Gallagher, Kudus, Maddison and Fernandes. One game a week, should be alright, Think once the window has shut we’ll see more cohesion because the players that remain actually want to be here. And that will make the 10 position look more functioning.

    So…definitely not signing or selling anyone else and no late bids either way?

    Tosin & Mudryk deals with Chelsea

    I agree. If he performs and helps the team, the fans are going to support him. If he’s really bad, that will drive the toxicity. I don’t think basing anything on engagement bait from people that are incentivised to make extreme takes is a way to make football decisions though. Mudryk simply...

    Tosin & Mudryk deals with Chelsea

    Genuine question. Does pace hold up 2 years out of the game? What are the other examples of players having extended time out and returning to their prior level. Rio Ferdinand? I’m sure I’m missing a few. Very interested to read about how he’s stayed in shape and maintained his ability. He...

    Richarlison

    I agree with you on the personalities, they can definitely work together. But do you see him able to function in this system? I could see it as a striker under Ange who purely needs to be a poacher. And as a physical left winger. But the difference between Richy and Marmoush in the build up...

    Iliman Ndiaye

    Yeah maybe the Gakpo thing was additional cover up front, but otherwise it’s about signing people that can actually beat their man on the wing. Maybe Mudryk succeeded well in an RDZ system because he had to do one thing really well, which was beat his man with pace and deliver it into the...
