Did Sancho take a wage reduction to join Chelsea ?

If he were to join Chelsea on a permanent basis then I assume he wouldn't be making the ridiculous money that Manure were paying him.

His wages would have to be renegotiated, which I think are the ultimate sticking point for Chelsea. I think the club would be open to paying 25m if it meant he was on a reasonable wage, but Sancho's management would strongly advise him against it.

Change the system...

Are you serious ?

With this Willian kid coming in, who we presunably have high hopes for, we need to make some space.

Sancho, Mudrky and Madueke are all on the chopping board

Sancho is as good as gone and Mudryk is going to be banned for a while. Leaves us with Neto, Madueke, George and Willian on the wings. We're going to struggle massively next season unless we sign someone impressive for out side. We can't leave our hopes on an 18 year old Brazilian imo

I think you are forgetting a certain mr Raheem Sterling who will be coming back. 😂

You laugh but he wouldn't have done any worse than our current wingers.

Don't worry we'll likely blow £90 million on someone like Leao who will do his best Madueke impression of doing something good every six games and spend the rest of the time doing nothing only complaining. God damn I hope this Estavao is a worldie.

Leao will be 26 by summer, far too old for our directors to be interested

Lampard, Terry, Drogba, Cech look at us in disgust.

And let’s be very honest with ourselves, if we were to play Napoli tomorrow, Conte would get the better of Maresca, and McTominay would probably end up with another scissor kick worldie like yesterday against Sanchez.

I don't disagree hahaha football in general is way off what it was in the 90's/00's/10's.

Raphina and Salah getting Balon D'or shouts, i feel physically sick.

Thanks but no thanks..

His ball retention is good. And he’s scored a couple of keys goals - first in the Spurs away comeback, and the late belter against Ipswich. We shouldn’t have been in either position, but credit where it is due.

He’s also reasonably effective against a low block, or when we need to keep the ball. However, the wages are out of alignment with the squad, and the hard truth is we need more output from forward players.

I’d move on, but the options are slim. Shame the Portuguese winger doesn’t arrive for another year (expect Paez to be loaned, Estevao to stay).

If we go and get Rodrygo I'd say send him back. If we're contemplating Garnacho then I'd rather we kept him.

He’s a good player until he gets to the area. Needs to drastically improve end product. Depends on incomings but I would send him back to United unfortunately. I don’t think he’s done enough to justify us buying him permanently.

Bye

Watch us release him and replace him with Grealish (who I actually think is a better footballer, just a bit of a cock)

Deutschland, ich komme

Pay the 5m fine. There are tonnes of other wingers out him that are more effective.

Him and Neto were signed to push Sterling out the door.

Despite more than double the amount of minutes in the PL than Sterling had in 23/24, they didn't match Raheem's goal tally between them.

Neither showed enough to be a regular starter for me, but if I had to choose one to retain as a squad player it would be Neto.

My money is on Ganacho, but quite honestly, its criminal if even a single unit of your prefered currency is spent on anything but a striker and then a keeper.

any change left, id be looking at top center back and only then a winger.
