Ah the ever positive shed end website.....

I'm a bit surprised tbh, I would of thought a player who thrives on 1v1's and going past people would make people slightly more happy, considering our lack of them.

I actually think our January transfer window has had more sensible buys than most of our summer 2022 transfer window purchases.

He’s been fit since mid October. So all good now, and he can probably play right wing back.  What’s not to like?

He played 90 minutes for psv 5 times…

It's just the usual mob trying to prove how amazing a fan they are by hating everything, pretty pathetic really but unfortunately also pretty expected on here nowadays.

He's clearly a planned like for like replacement for ziyech, who will cost less on the roster officially, and is younger. 

But I just don't see him ever being an upgrade even if he stays fit 

I hope to be very very wrong. 

My friend, every single one of us on this site is an upgrade on Ziyech.

We’ve got to trust Vivells judgment, it’s the reason we’ve brought him in.  

Looks decent on YouTube but who doesn’t, reminds me a bit of Zaha.  Dont think we desperately needed him this window and probably could have got him cheaper in the summer.  However another exciting looking player, at least we’ll be fun to watch.

Madueke a direct suggestion of Viveli as per @AdamNewson which is not a shock - he suggested Madueke to Leipzig to replace Nkunku if the latter left last summer.

 

We know who to blame if it doesn’t work out now..

Or hopefully who to thank if it does work out.

I don't understand why people are assuming we're working on one player at a time, the usual Chelsea sources are adamant we're working on a midfielder

 

Yeah one of the more tiresome complaints, multi billion dollar club can only do one thing at a time apparently.

Made even dafter by the fact we've obviously been working on multiple deals at the same time for the signings we've just made.

The new recruitment team should indeed get a bit of faith at this point, just hope when judgement day comes the gems outweigh the flops.

You have to wonder whether he’d even pass a medical with that track record, although I suppose only so much would get flagged up on basic checks.

His injury record is a little worrying, especially given our treatment room currently resembles present-day A&E.

Where is he going to play, GK or left back? We are loaded with players who probably wont get on the bench

Hah a Ziyech and Bissouma swap, @justwould be made up!

I like the look of Maudeke, looks to have some real talent. Exciting and not too big a fee really

Pace, power, two footed, good shot, What more do you ask for in a wide man?

Much smaller injury record

We signed Eider and his injury record was far worse, its not always a death sentence. Rudiger aswell had a record for injuries.

well thats far better than fofana for us so we are clearly improving

Interesting signing. Will be nice to play with two wingers again. Just need a defensive midfielder now to make sure we don’t leave the back door open.

Since he’s English Is this one of those homegrown balance signings? Only averaging 55 mins per game in the PSV organization since joining from the Spurs youth system. 

Pretty damning for Hudson Odoi if this goes through. 

Still not addressing the glaring issues in midfield and in the striker position though. 

500 million soon spent and I'm not convinced the team is significantly better. Insane really

Noni Madueke: Chelsea agree £29m deal to sign PSV Eindhoven forward | Transfer Centre News | Sky Sports

Why?.............

We don't need another winger. We need a striker, a midfielder, wing backs.

I really don't understand Chelsea's recruitment policies..........

I googled it and I think it's mostly happening because Madueke is homegrown (by nation)

Squad overhaul. We are one of the lowest scoring teams this season, our attack is appalling. Mudryk is a replacement for Ziyech hopefully, Madueke replace Pulisic and so on…
