Certainly better value than McCormack at £12m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I know it's a farmers league and all that, but Fabregas has really aged horribly and it's a desperate buy from Henry. For a man in his early thirties he can hardly move. I would honestly back Whelan to beat him in a sprint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to look at the marketing potential of Pulisic for Chelsea, though. He's possibly the best American player of all time and will sell a lot of shirts/create a lot of Chelsea fans over here. Fulham has a fairly big following in the USA just because of the former American nationals who played for them over the years (McBride, Dempsey, Bocanegra, Ream, etc.). Pulisic can possibly be the first true "superstar" we've ever had. Has a lot of work to do still, but he is a talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Platt Posted January 8, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted January 8, 2019 Dembele from Spurs to some Chinese team for 9 million!? I think this bloke is quality why so cheap is it his injury record!? We should sign him for that price obviously we can't afford him or the astronomical wages he will get but still 9 million!!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 Pavard to Bayern is a good signing for them. Continuing their rebuild. will have a very strong side again in 2 or 3 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) He's a funny one Pavard, I've seen him have plenty of average matches where he'd hardly stand out in our team. World Cup helped him a lot. And also being 22! Blimey, didn't know he was that young. Fee makes a bit more sense now. Edited January 9, 2019 by Tomaszk 22!

villa4europe Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) with kimmich already there they must be thinking of playing him at CB barca sign murillo on loan with an option to buy and toulouse CB todibo and the obvious best young CB in europe right now de ligt is still at ajax...someone very big is going north of £40m for him in the summer (barca are being heavily linked with frenkie de jong though who will also move in the summer for a big fee) Edited January 9, 2019 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
