Just 1 player I'd say brandt £25m Eduardo Camavinga - Plays dm, but developing box to box. French international at 18 (although not selected for euros). No idea on price though, probably 50m + Edited May 30, 2021 by mikeyp102 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His dad was a legend for us Americans and Gio can arguably become better than Pulisic, who is by far the most talented player we've ever produced. Chelsea's fanbase has more than doubled in the USA since they signed Pulisic, which has generated A LOT of revenue for that club. Reyna will be worth more than 40/50 million in a few years if he continues to develop as he has been. Whichever Premier League club ends up signing him from Dortmund will get a legion of new fans in America from him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there are players who break out at the highest level relatively late and then go on to superstardom. There are also players who break out at the highest level relatively early and don't amount to that much and stagnate, probably a lot more of these than the first case.

DaveAV1 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 According to our esteemed Sunday newspapers Man City, (A small club from Cheshire that have never won the European Cup), are going to/thinking about/preparing to activate Douglas Luiz’s buy back clause. Apparently that’s £25m. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not? Ultimately probably a load of rubbish and indicative of how little genuine news leaks from clubs these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you a Davis fan by any chance. I suppose Jamie Vardy is the classic as well. There are loads of examples of late developers but for every one there will be hundreds more that did not develop!! Obviously, like any football transfer, the challenge is picking the one that does work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 (edited) Pretty sure Luiz buy back price will have been bumped to £30m or £35m now. It was £25m last summer and goes up each year if the articles when we signed him were correct. Don't want us to sell him either way.

If they do activate his buy back clause, then I guess we would have no choice, other than to take whatever the cash is. I have to wonder how they will sign Harry and everyone else that they have been linked with and still have no FFP issue though. Oh sorry, I forgot such things do not apply to them (their legal team makes sure of that). I like what you did above by the way.

Popular Post sne Posted May 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 30, 2021 (edited) Gossip rags linking us with a loan move for Ruben Loftus-Cheek Can see why the clubs would be all over that considering our stupendous success with our previous loan moves for their English fringe midfielders Drinkwater and Barkley. Really don't want RLC. He struggled to get into the Fulham side for half of the season and was mostly a bit part player during the last 3 months when they were playing for their survival. He has terrible injury history and he looks slow and cumbersome. 1 goal and zero assists despite being deployed as a ACM. Let Chelsea find some other club to pay £100k/w for their unwanted guys.

Wow, did someone move Manchester from Lancashire to Cheshire. Seriously though, I’d snatch their hands of for 25,000,000 for Dougie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
