What's new

Dayot Upamecano

Let's see how he gets on tonight against Mbappe and Neymar ... good test for him for sure !

 
He did ok tonight despite the score line but he won’t be coming here this season, unfortunately.

Maybe go try and read up on his new contract, specifically the bit about any release clause not kicking in until next season.

 
His release clause was €65m, and he only had 12 months left on his contract, but he has now signed an extension, and his new release clause us €40m but it doesnt come into place until next summer. 

Maybe we could tempt leipzig with a bigger offer to get him now, but we didnt fancy paying €65m a month ago, so i doubt we will offer near that now, and realistically, Leipzig may aswell.just keep him for a season, and miss out on €10-15m.

If he has a good season, we could be in a great position to attract him here with werner and Ampadu, and he will be a bargain next summer.

 
On tonight's showing, he's still got a way to go to be top class, although in 3-4 years you would expect him to be one of the world's best. He isn't going to learn by trying to lead more senior defenders at Chelsea, however. He really needs to be paired with another top-class CB for a few years to learn the ropes. He was all at sea for many of PSG's chances and did a great Rudiger/Emerson impression for the 3rd goal by marking the empty air. One concern I have is his lack of acceleration (vs raw pace); he appears slow to react and get moving, which is a hindrance at this level of the game. He compensates well at the moment because of his raw pace that allows him to catch most players over a distance, but in football it is quickness over the first 5-10 yards that makes the biggest difference.

Great player but he isn't what we need right now. If he continues to shine and we are able to land a more experienced CB this season, he would make for an awesome transfer next year.

Hence why we may well struggle to generate funds to pay for new players. The club have already said player sales are needed to generate funds

Get him!!!!

 
Would be a good signing, I'm still sad that City landed Dias instead of us though, I mean what's the next thing, Pep replacing Aguero with Haaland?

 
Surely an upgrade over AC and Rüdi. Not to forget we also have Malang Sarr out on loan, although I'm not sure how he's doing there. Upamecano, Zouma and Silva (if we extend) would be very decent and balanced choices to have for the starting XI next season.

I don’t see this happening with Bayern involved

Bayern's pulling power isn't as strong as it was a few years ago. Havertz was supposedly tapped up by them, but he preferred us. He liked the project and implied that winning with Bayern is a lesser accomplishment than winning in the EPL. Upamecano also played with Werner, Timo could perhaps have some influence on his decision. You never know...

I never thought we'd be able to pull off the transfers we did either, but here they are. Players must be looking at what we're building and I bet Havertz isn't the only one to get excited by the prospect of being a part of it.

 
We are making moves here. I would think Bayern and Liverpool are very luring destinations for him.
