I trust Artedu to get it right. I'm not big on Havertz either but you have to remember he's been at Chelsea for a while now. And Chelsea fucks players up.
I don’t think he’s what we need, Jesus is a similar profile striker and ESR is a similar profile 8. We should use the funds on Caicedo and maybe a striker of a different profile
My instant reaction was the HARDEST no, but then you look at what Chelsea have done to almost every one of those players brought in over the last 3 years or so and it makes you wonder what sort of player is potentially in there 🤔
If we can get him at £30-40m then I'm fairly happy with it but they want 60m last I checked and he's just not shown anything near that. Presumably with a wage cut too, can't be paying Havertz and Saka similar wages
I agree he's quality, but coming from Chelsea and to a rival that's pushing for a title, his price will definitely be inflated. If it hinders our ability bolster other areas of our squad, I don't think it's a good buy. But like you said, if it's a good price and Eduteta rate him...
yeah, agree the inflated price is the big catch. i think the angle we're shooting for is that Chelsea have to sell, and there aren't a lot of clubs whose offers we couldn't match. no one in Germany/France/Spain is paying 50m for him, so that leaves United (maybe?), City (no way), Newcastle (maybe?), Spurs (lol), and Liverpool (no way) as realistic competitors for the purchase.
