£80m for Viktor Gyokeres is beginning to look an increasing number of like a cut price and has made me marvel an increasing number of, why haven’t we signed him but?
Clearly that is tongue in cheek, as are the titles. I do know this isn’t Soccer Supervisor and there are many variables that go into signing a brand new participant. For instance, stated participant may not even need to transfer, and I believe that has been the case for Gyokeres thus far.
I do hope that regardless of the points had been between the participant and one in all our administrators might be buried for the sake of everybody, as a result of for me, Gyokeres HAS to be one in all our priorities when he inevitably makes his large transfer in January or the summer time.
Gyokeres goes to be transferring from Sporting quickly, and I’m sorry however I nonetheless have a sense that he’ll be a part of Ruben Amorim at Manchester United. I do know by way of sources that he has been eager to go along with Amorim to his subsequent vacation spot, which was very virtually Chelsea at one level.
However all the massive golf equipment who desire a new striker, and possibly even those that don’t significantly need or want one, shall be in for Gyokeres, as a result of he’s THAT good.
I’m not listening to the ‘he’s enjoying in a crap league’ stuff anymore. He bagged a hat-trick final evening in opposition to the present champions of England, and he’s received 11 objective involvements in his final 13 European appearances which occur to not be in stated ‘crap’ league. He’s now scored 5 targets in 4 appearances within the Champions League this season.
He additionally has expertise of enjoying in England and if something, in opposition to even more durable and extra bodily defenders within the Championship. That have could be important for the Premier League transition.
This man baggage targets for enjoyable and is a all spherical 9, one thing we nonetheless should not have, with huge respect to Nicolas Jackson who has many attributes of a 9 however not the total works, but a minimum of.
23 targets scored earlier than we even head deep into November is simply exceptional, no matter league you might be doing that in.
His physicality is essential, and targets like this holding off the defender is one thing we have to see at Chelsea – bullying centre backs.
He’s a whole striker, and if Chelsea are critical, they should exit and do all they will to convey him to Stamford Bridge as quickly as bodily potential. Pay the cash.
Brighton bought him for £1m FYI, let that one sink in…. Genuinely questioning and never pointing fingers, however I do marvel who signed that one off….
