Better he goes there than Arsenal then. They’re not qualifying for CL and I think they’re out of the cups. They must have half a dozen who play in his position but he no doubt went there because he “liked the project”.

Sounds like he can play a bit but is he what we need? Another no10?

Fancy Fulham to beat them in their derby and then they’ve got the dippers, who’ll be given 5 penalties.

Something fishy about this deal nq

I thought similar, but give me a lot of quality players rather than shite - if we had him he'd put pressure on Bruno to play at his peak as well as other forwards. His best position (imo) is as a 10, Kaka like, carrying the ball & playing others in - he's an elegant footballer but I don't think he's likely to turn up and ruffle PL feathers as a striker. As such, will he do shit for Chelsea?

£10m quid loan fee and agreement to pay his £8 million wages on top of that.

So yeah, that's why he's off to chelsea, because United and arsenal aren't daft enough to fork out 18 million on a £#%&!ing 5 month loan.

No mate. It’s the appealing project.

Really he's a second striker which is the same position as Havertz, but I think it's fair to say that many Chelsea fans seem to have soured on Havertz.

Scored the winning goal in a Champions League final, but in the main he's been a terrible buy.

As I say Felix will be wasted at Chelsea who look really down on confidence, and the manager looks like a deer in the headlights at the moment.

United arent doing it because the money isn't there, but definitely seems ten Hag wanted him. Arsenal appear to be focused on Mudryk.

£11m from the reports I've seen. United arent doing it because the money isn't there, but definitely seems ten Hag wanted him. Arsenal appear to be focused on Mudryk.
even if the money was there we shouldn't be £#%&!ing bothering. 18 million quid for a 5 month loan ffs. Lunacy

He’s a really talented player but he’s hasn’t proven himself yet at any stage in his career and he’s another one of those players who doesn’t have a clear position in a team

He might turn into a great signing but he’s not what we need which is an actual centre forward

I knew the chances of signing Joao Felix were next to none when the club failed to sign Cody Gakpo.

It had all the feeling of Ighalo part 2 written all over it, though I think Weghorst will be slightly better.

Not surprisingly the news headlines are stating Manchester United will sign Harry Kane in the summer, ya right, piss off Glazers.

Congrats to Chelsea.

I'm thinking this. Watched highlights of the game vs Barca and he was completely anonymous.

Chelsea are plain weird at the moment.

He's not a striker so I class him as a midfielder...
