Random Rumours

Blues midfielder Enzo Fernández has emerged as the top target for Atlético Madrid, who are ready to pay €80 million (£70.7 million, $93 million) to get a deal done. Such a fee would only be acceptable for Chelsea if the Argentina international agitates for a move. (Source: Fichajes)

Law of averages they'll have to get one right eventually, and it may as well be Fernandez !

What i thought was interesting was only if he pushes for a move, heard this before. He seems happy with us so maybe the door is a long way off, who knows?

 
Seems strange that for once the Spanish clubs seem to have got the wrong one and we got the better South American superstar....so far.

I think people might undersell this for what it really is. England has never really had a top-tier, young South American talent, as Suarez, Aguero, Mascherano, Tevez etc. were arguably already in their prime at 23+ when they came to the league. The league lost out on young Ronaldinho, Adriano, Robinho, Pato and Neymar.

Estevao is the first time a hyped-up South American teenager has had their head turned by an English club, as opposed to the traditional route via Portugal or Spain. If it works out, it will be great for the league as a whole.

Yep, historically its never happened, its been close as we nearly had a few back in the day (Neymar apparently was close) but Estavao is now massively in the public eye. I just hope people a the club know how best to handle him, dont exploit him etc. He seems to be a sensible lad and have a good family group with him so hopefully they look after him.

I think you may have forgotten about *cough.. Piazon, Kenedy, ₙₐₜₕₐₙ

 
Lot of media reporting we're making a big push to bring Rudiger back to the club for experience in the back line. Part of me thinks its a good idea but the other part of me remembers Rudiger as being incredibly rash and needed another cool head next to him to be able to play his best footballer.

We need experience but is it really Rudiger that should bring it?
