Random Rumours

Ornstein and Simon Johnson reporting that Mudryk is open to joining Chelsea, so I guess that’s good. If he does agree to come, shouldn’t we be happy? We’d basically done to Arsenal what Barcelona did to us last summer. The player is good.

 
not 100% sure I understand this. The public chase of Enzo which is a position we clearly need to improve on, and refusal to pay his release clause only to then go and pay £100m for another forward. 

I want to believe that Boehly and co know what they are doing or trying to do but decisions like this are staggering. 

 
Looks good from compilations, how many left wingers would we have if he joined though?

This club is actually going down the pan by throwing silly money. A self inflicted death looms. Incredible.

And the nearly decade long contracts!

We better bloody pray all our signings work out (they won't though) or we may as well just pack it up as a top club.

He does look good and is willing to take on players, which we desperately need.

Get this done and then get a midfielder and this could turn out to be a decent window after all.

 
The only reason I can think of as to why we are coughing up £100 million for this lad over Enzo is that we can pay over instalments rather than all up front in the Enzo deal.

Hard to trust the process when our transfer policy seem to be utter made up madness.  Absolutely bonkers.

This is the most ridiculous thing and cannot be true, surely. To low ball on a £100m deal to sign a player that wanted to join us to the point where the manager was saying it was driving the player crazy (b*llsh*t of course) only to then agree a £100m deal for a player that has no interest in joining us and wants to go to Arsenal.

Nah, don't believe it.

I think the structure is the key difference in the 2 situations. Enzo was a release clause that had to be paid all at once. By reports, the Mudryk deal is going to be in installments with about 70m euros up front.

My theory is we offered 80m+40m in add ons for Enzo and we've offered 65m+35m in add ons for mudryk. 

But benfica didn't mention the add ons when they slagged us off.

Boehly seems to like add ons.

If he doesn't then we are absolutely screwed. And it will feel worse for fans like me who can see it coming. I hope I'm wrong but I can see a big s£it storm flaring up in a few years. These yanks don't understand football and finances around the transfer market.

Well it's a 10m a year amortised fee. That's about the same as what we paid for Felix for 4 months!

If he's good then it goes up. That's not an awful figure

Wages? Cos Arsenal were offering him £120k/w, you can bet Boehly has him closer to £200k/w. We better hope these signings don’t flop.

Well the rumours on why mounts contract not going through is because we offered him a wage structure that was dependent on performing, not 200k flat. 

So I'd imagine whatever wage we have offered, in a significant chunk depends on him actually playing. 

And the rate our players get injured he will only play 10 games a season 😂
