[Evilo]

This guy...



is out of contract.

 

[Savi]

Oh okay. Apparently hasn't been picked up by Belgian media yet.

Havertz to chelsea for €100M as per bild...paid in instalments... incredible transfer once again for the blues.

 

[PeteWorrell]

Chelsea buying all those offensive players is cute but they cannot all play together and it still does not address the defence and goal tending situation.

 

[Evilo]

Not a diss on Chelsea, but I'm surprised Havertz didn't have an offer from a bigger team.

 

[Albatros]

Not many teams are going to pay 100 million right now, the whole market has changed at least temporarily.

Real is in play, too.

But you can buy Schürrle for 2 millions these days. OMG.

Giroud has had links too. He'll want game time, I wouldn't mind holding onto him though.

He already signed a contract extension with us. His ability to create space behind him that players can run into for chances is something Lampard obviously likes, and he keeps getting game time right now because it's been very effective.

It's weird when you think about it
When this guy bloomed late and had a career year with Montpellier and then signed with Arsenal, people asked how I would project him and I was unable to form an opinion on whether he would succeed or not.
Years later he's still (also with the NT) there, half starter, half sub, productive and yet unimpressive.
Does the little things right.
Key to winning but not on the scoresheet.
The ultimate intangibles guy in fact.

When his career ends he'll be tough to judge.

 

[Evilo]

Another guy thought to judge.
He was HUGE in his first year at CB. Got moved to LB, wasn't very good.
Since then he has some good games here and there but even at CB he's not the same.
He needs a good coach because the potential is there.

I completely disagree that they are "intangibles" and that you can't measure his impact with stats, because you can. He's just not a striker that should be your main goal scoring threat, but his ability to create chances for others is his biggest strength. I completely understood why he played for France at the World Cup over so-called better strikers and continues to play for them, because they have players like Mbappe and Griezmann as their main goal scorers and Giroud's ability to create space and link up with them is unmatched.

I know, but i saw recently Inter was still interested. It could've been a move to get a small fee, we'll see. I hope he stays, he's quality when there are scorers around him. With the players we are going after, he's sort of an ideal backup striker and starter at times if Tammy had a bad run of form and Werner is used in a wider position.

It would be weird for him to still want to move after signing a contract unless he was doing us a favor by not losing him on a free. I'm sure other clubs saw us sign Werner and we have Abraham, and think they can get Giroud.

If you have wingers who can be best used as an inside forward/threat that are your main goal threats Giroud is incredible as he can make the best of those players and really make the attack flow that much better.

Still work to do, but deal looks to be in good shape.

Yes please, get it done.

Sounds like a new CB/GK could be dependent on qualifying for Champions League which could boost the transfer budget by 50M and other players leaving. Plenty of options for players to leave for decent fees. Jorginho's future is up in the air, but he's clearly not in the long-term plans.
