QUOTE (han2503 @ Jan 16 2021, 06:10 PM) It's a loan, so it's a low risk operation. We need a CB now, we can't face another emergency like we did in December. I don't think we'll manage to blow past that type of crises again in February when we have some really tough fixtures.
I read somewhere that it would be an 18 month loan, so we'd have to take up that option the following summer should we want to keep him. If that is the case it would give us more time to get the finances in order, especially if we make it consistently into the CL by then The Daily Telegraph says Chelsea have not accepted the 18 months loan option. They want 6 month loan and option to buy for 30M, otherwise we can f*ck off. They also say we were interested in Tomori last season as well, but Lampard didn't want to let him go. How good is this Tomori kid anyway? If Lampard values him so much, why doesn't he play him? QUOTE (han2503 @ Jan 16 2021, 06:10 PM) Agreed regarding the fact that it is the only position where we need to improve the starting player rather than the depth. However, I still think we'll have more options in the summer. I read that Thauvin is demanding a high wage, which is not unusual for a free transfer, but we cannot afford to bring in someone like that with a high wage. We're haggling with Hakan, who has been one of our most influential players under Pioli, I doubt we'd give Thauvin the 5m he's reportedly demanding
So we could look at other options in the summer when clubs are more willing to sell How good is Thauvin? I've never seen him play, just YouTube clips. Doesn't exactly look that exciting from that.

As I said earlier, I've been lurking around Chelsea twitter, and they are not happy about this and think it could bite them back similar to Salah, De Bruyne and Lukaku. So the seem to rate him rather highly As for Thauvin, I know as much as you. The nicest thing about him is that he's free. But we're not going to be paying him astronomical wages, so if 5m is his asking price, he won't come eitherway

Tomori also very close according to Vito Angele, who's pretty accurate
I think if we have an option on him and he does well we should take it. If he becomes a top CB while at Milan, we could literally ask English clubs for any sum for him and they'd pay it. They're idiots when it comes to English players. Look at Maguire

Because selling him for insane money is what will bring us profit. I don't think Tomori is the new Maldini. If we can sell a top defender at a multiple inflated prize, I'm all for it. We can buy ourselves 2-3 addition afterwards.
But anyway, let's not get ahead too quick. We haven't really signed him yet.

QUOTE (Forza Milan! @ Jan 16 2021, 09:12 PM) Rumors that Juve is after Piattek ( link). Probably fake news, but it is kind of funny. Yesh, really funny.

QUOTE (X-Offender @ Jan 17 2021, 07:53 PM) Nobody knows. But I don't think we're willing to spend 30M for a player with the "hope" that he will become a top player so we can sell him for three times that price. I think we're buying him because we believe he can become a vital part of our project and he can cover the CB position in the long run, so we won't have to spend any more in that role. This is how I think the club operates nowadays, why it goes after young, promising players. I understand :-). I also like the fact that it is a "try and buy" situation. As for the player, he is fast (which is something we need) but not all that reliable defensively. This means if he works out we have options, starter level players with different characteristic, so we can pick depending on who we play against. Add Gabbia for coverage (plus maybe Kalulu), and for now we are set, which means we will focus in other areas. That said, it will be interesting to see how we operate in the long run. Assume we start getting CL money and have made improvements in other roles. Let's say we find another CB, an improvement over current players. I can see us going for that and selling one of our current CBs (hopefully for a profit). Will see ..
