Another Winger! - Noni Madueke

Rumours are it could be around £40m.

Too cheap for a young player with 5 years still left on his contract IMO.

 
Before the summer id have said if we got an offer £40m+ we should take it, but given what £55m gets you nowadays we'd be selling ourselves short getting less than that.

 
Bit off topic and random but Noni is the term used by the females within my family to represent their lady part.

Apologies, not sure why that came into my head.

As you were, please continue.

Based on your female family members' colloquialism, that renders Elanga less of a noni than Noni.

Jackson is worth another name tuppence!!

 
He may not cost more than Gittens even if Madueke's development is slightly ahead. We value Madueke less than Dortmund valued Gittens. Madueke is considered expendable, Gittens was a key player for Dortmund.

No Gittens wasn't. The new coach didn't need him because he played a 3 at the back and his system doesn't need wingers . Dortmund are just a very good selling club

It's not like Kovac has just arrived at Dortmund. Gittens played in pretty much every game when he took over and I am certain he would have done the same again next season too. Gittens was a key player player for Dortmund.

Unfortunately you are wrong . Gittens was a starter in the first half of the season but has been a bench player since Kovac came in with his 3421 formation that relies on wingbacks and not wingers. It is public knowledge and can check google

Jamie Gittens recently lost his starting position at Borussia Dortmund due to a change in coaching philosophy and tactics under Niko Kovac. Kovac favored a wing-back system where Gittens didn't fit naturally, leading to his reduced role in the starting lineup. Additionally, Chelsea has signed Gittens, suggesting a move away from Dortmund. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

  • Change in Coaching System:

    Niko Kovac's appointment as Dortmund's head coach saw a shift towards a wing-back system, which didn't suit Gittens' playing style. 
  • Reduced Role:

    As a result, Gittens saw a drop in his playing time and wasn't included in the starting eleven as frequently. 
  • Chelsea Transfer:

    Gittens has been signed by Chelsea, indicating a move away from Dortmund and a potential new chapter in his career. 
  • Competition for Places:

    Chelsea's acquisition of Gittens, along with other attacking signings, suggests increased competition for starting positions in the Chelsea squad. 
  • Gittens' Strengths:

    Despite the change in Dortmund, Gittens is known for his pace and ability to create chances, which Chelsea hopes to utilize. 
 
In a world where Elanga and Kudus go for 55M each, surely Madueke is a player worth over 50M fixed fee, as well.

Bought for 29M, sold for over 20M profit two years later. Good piece of business for a good, but not great player.

I do not believe Madueke would have been sold had Estevao did not come this summer. The club prioritise the integration of Estevao which, to be fair, is the right thing to do knowing he is one of the top talents in world football.

Neto will probably start the season at right wing with Estevao slowly coming very late in the matches to replace either Neto or the left winger, with Neto going to the left and Estevao on the right. Keeping Neto gives Maresca more flexibility as he looks a better fit for the left wing, also, when needed.

 
Hard to say whether he looks to play more consistently or paycheck. Looks like paycheck. He would be behind Saka and Martinelli.

But we have to be a bit aware of the lowish salaries on our players in general.

Anyway if he wants to leave, no problem. Like Enzo said whoever doesn't want to be here you are free to go.

I have a sneaky feeling (nothing to base it on) that Arteta isn't having Martinelli. He may well view Madueke as a Saka back up but also a rotating starter on the left side, especially if they go get Eze as well.

Would not surprise me in the slightest to see Martinelli move on later in this window.

Quite possible. Martinelli has plateaued.
