Havertz10:
back to haaland

We could add goal bonus to his wages

Let's say 150k a week, 20k bonus per goal totaling 150k+ every week

Haaland is going to be a star, I have no doubts

Lol... Dude is demanding almost 450k a week. Raiola wants 600k for him lol

To put it in perspective, Kante's the highest earner in Chelsea at around 290K

Havertz10:
that daka is more of effort than talent

But your arguement is sound, how old is the daka guy self, looks old.

22 lol.

But cant rule out the African age thing

Havertz10:
who should we go for then

To be fair, It would depend on if TT sticks with his 3 atb formation or if he changes it.

The whole drama around Haaland may not really be worth it. Expensive, Incredible wages which could kill our wage structure, Mino Raiola fees. And listening to most of his interviews, He sounds like a proper mercenary and would just be using us as a stop gap

Maybe a relatively unknown guy like Daka does it. He fits the kind of profile TT wants in his forward. Low risk, high reward and he has a good conversion rate which beats most of our forward. He's also good at finding spaces and quite physical too

Kilishihunter:
Same agent of haaland

Yeah...I know this one

Still think Haaland needs one more season before we go for him

Kilishihunter:
Mendy won the UCL and has been in great form, probably the reason why, some top clubs are also circling him and he wants 6mil per season, At this stage I don't think donarumma would want to share goalmouth responsibilities with anybody plus the fact that he has a very controversial agent in raiola Infact it was raiola who made him not to accept Milan's offer

Shit, I didnt know this.

Bye then

While on the subject of Goalkeepers, Donnaruma is already free of his contract with Milan. Why dont we go for him, let him battle it out with Mendy. He also has the advantage of being young at 22

Kepa is a sunk cost and should be sold or loaned

nihilistjnr:
Nobody wanted to buy the guy at the price he was valued at simple

That's why it was only Chelsea that EVER bid for him

Because of Corona. Dont interpret it more than what it is. We were one of the few top clubs who's finances was in the +ve and still ok during the crisis

Havertz10:
Lampard has never said this

All this started with kepa, Chelsea forced their way into that deal and people started to say that Lampard doesn't have a say in transfers, there are coaches and there are managers, Chelsea nowadays only appoint coaches, it's easy to say since Lampard isn't the manager, any signing that goes against British agenda isn't Lampard's choice

No one really knows.

I think it was Ibime who once said, U could easily confirm going by Lampard body language when we were having our slump, The players he stuck by were the once who he was convinced by; On this part I agree with him.

Also listening to Redknapp speech about our summer purchases when Lampard was sacked was also a pointer

nihilistjnr:
Was there Corona in 2019?

The timing wasnt right then in 2019. Most top clubs had 2020 benchmarked for him except of course bayern who wanted it delayed

To give a perfect illustration, We would use Halland. It is very likely most clubs stall their pursuit for him for at least 1 year for similar reasons as Kai. I am almost certain he's still a Dortmund player by the start of next year, despite what all the transfer gossip would have us believe.

nihilistjnr:
I kuku have a subscription to the Athletic.

Let's look at the key points from their articles on the Havertz transfer.

Pic 1. He was an Abramovich buy

Pic 2. Lampard was hardly alone in contacting the boy. All the big clubs contacted him to find out if he was interested in playing for them. The boy is a good player...he's just not 100m good which is why..

Pic 3. None of the big clubs bid for him, and were waiting to price him at 60m. This is what forced Chelsea's hand. If they waited to compete against the big boys at fair market value, they would lose. There's no way an official bid would come in from Bayern for a German player, and Chelsea would have a look in.

So whilst Bayern were waiting to submit bid at 60m, Marina and Abramovich essentially overpaid by 40m, knowing that nobody else would match that bid.

That's how according to the article you quoted, we signed Havertz. NOBODY BID FOR HIM.

The Lampard call literally means nothing. Lampard's boss was the one that wanted Havertz and instructed him to make the call.

Only because of corona. We only took advantage where we would have stood no chance.

A lot of expensive players pursuit across most clubs was dropped as a result of covid. Even Valuations dropped. Dont make this look like a Kai thing

Havertz10:
British propaganda, Chelsea bought kai because he was the next young star, Lampard was the charmer that made ziyech, timo and havertz deals possible, he knows how to convince players, I will give him credit for convincing them to join

even Toni kross that rarely praises players hyped kai

I'm not sure Lampard really wanted Kai. He only convinced him after the decision was made.

Kai was a board/Abrahamovic buy.

The players Lampard really wanted were Mertens, Tarkowski, Rice and Chilwell and at some point Aubameyang

Unlimited22:
Please compare that tweet to the one posted when the greenfield University students were abducted.

Make sure you bring your unbiased mind with you when doing the comparison.

No need for what ifs and other comparisons. I was speaking in absolutes

This is coming from someone who doesnt even rate the guy

Havertz10:
gbam, buhari was threatening people with that tweet

Also he forgot to mention that it wasn't just Twitter that acted but people on Twitter reported the tweet to twitter hence it's removal, I didn't like the tweet myself, it wasn't necessary at all

To be fair, Whoever wrote that tweet, his media aide or whoever did him a whole lot of disservice.

I watched the video with an unbiased mind and there was a whole lot of context and background to that statement. Twitter rides a lot on momentum and I doubt he would be worried about it

nihilistjnr:
That pass was perfect for a first time shot iin his left foot.

The guy missed with his left and then finally took the shot with his right when he was off balance.

You know how many goals Aguero has scired from that exact position?

Aguero has a low center of gravity and better close control. Not a fair comparison

Honestly that pass was not really the best of passes; Could Werner do better, Yes. Infact, he should have left it to Kante or passed to Kai seeing he didnt have the right balance but as always, he's ever eager

donstan18:
But we would have won the cup if TT had listened to the advice of you and some few to bench Mount?

Una eyes go clear next season, make we buy better CF first, make I see where Harvertz go play.

You think say Na by scoring in a finals, Gotze and Origi did... Where dem dey??

You've not been paying attention to Tuchel then. You should be more worried about where Mason plays the moment TT stops this front 3 stuff if he does

Cos if rumours are to be believed, He wants Rice; I still cant figure out where Mount's best position will be with a sitting DM

Havertz10:
Mount only gave timo one chance at goal and it was a simple pass


The first one was created by havertz but the commentator called mount's name, I even said it that people will think that it was mount that nutmegged stones to make this chance

https://j.gifs.com/EqRDZg.gif

I'm actually glad with the pass I see there from Chilwell. Means there's hope

Ibime:
I'm just musing on Traores potential.

TBH only striker I have in mind is Haaland but I'm starting to get some Tammy vibes from him.

And Havertz no bad as striker so I'm not rushing. We can use opportunity to try some experiment knowing Havertz is still there

Wrong.

He's the definition of what you like. He puts all his body on the line and has no element of self preservation

donstan18:
Wetin Tuchel smoke abeg

Wont be surprised Tuchel wants Adama as RWB.

He does exactly what Tuchel asks of CHO

Who dey breeet

Can English refs just take a cue from the ref tonight

We made it guys........

The fucking big oneeeeeeeeeeeee

Damn. Some pressure there

Calm down Timo

My boy.......................

Ok boys. Lets go

Havertz10:
havertz doing his tang

Of course

Who's playing central?

Unfortunately can't watch right now.

How are the guys doing

More Drama lool

popizaino:
I don't underrate him because of his defensive deficiencies,I don't even know if he got one, but for the fact is that he is completely useless with the ball. Playmaker are often suppose to be the most intelligent players on the field because of their abilities to have their eyes at the back of their head,and also to turn defense into attack but this simple thing is lacking in jorginho's game .

He's a regista, Maybe if he was further up the pitch, u can look for the defense splitting passes. He's not even doing badly in this regard, He has the most through passes among all our players this season only behind Timo

Jorginho is very key to our organization and contrary to popular belief, Jorginho actually performs better and shows more control under pressure. He draws opposition players in before passing backwards, sideways or turning out and moving forward. A very solid recycler

One day when I'm in the mood i'll bring up the stats which shows how we perform significantly better with a Jorginho vs without him -Well there's always the correlation causation part - but the sample size is too large to ignore.

Hardly ever injured despite playing quite a lot of games under TT. We know his limitation yeah but we also know how he's important to our tactics and organization

I'll be sitting here pretty when Jorginho bosses the so called Fernandinho in midfield this weekend.

Severely underrated by Chelsea fans

rooftops:
...I am not sure he does personal training. 3 years now odoi's shooting ability is still same, he rarely dribble. The guy should buckle up, just one bad loan deal and he will be kissing playing in a big team goodbye, he should ask his big bro at Fulham "the rolls Royce"

TT's main problem with CHO is he doesnt take risks in the final 3rd. Numerous times under TT recently, I have seen him telling CHO especially with his hand gestures to dribble and move into the last space in front of him. CHO just seems to pass the ball or just opt for a cross

Similar with James but at least we know James is talentless in that regards but he's got the advantage of being defensively better as a wing back

I do think he has the attribute but his attitude and work ethic seems poor added to the ACL thing, maybe there's a psych effect here

With what I saw today. It's clear who should start in the UCL final

Mendy, Rudiger, Silva, Christensen, Chilwell, Azpi, Kante, Jorginho, Werner, Havertz, Mount(60)/Pulisic

Then Kovacic and Ziyech should come in as subs
