Probably more likely to get minutes there than here though, in the short term. By the time he has matured, if he is as good as people seem to think a bigger club will come knocking.
I get why the kid made the decision he did. It's actually a rather mature call.
Winstanley is in the market for even more talent, despite spending heavily on midfielders and Chelsea may be open to a buy and loan back arrangement.
Rovers snubbed an £18.5million offer from Palace this week and want up to £25m, although they could take that in a down payment and extras.
Wharton — who signed a five-year deal at Ewood Park last month — will also want to know his career path, so Chelsea need to be persuasive and any plans to loan him out next season would not appeal.
Palace are unlikely to go higher than their offer of £15m plus £3.5million in add-ons for Wharton and are already making inquiries about alternatives
Sweet.
Tbh it doesn't sound likely though. They have Lavia, Caicedo and Enzo that are all young ish and Gallagher is one of their captains,
Then there is FFP and the suspicious lack of activity from them so far and constant hawking of their players for 50m.
Barca is a very different situation though. They are their own special type of mess.
Mas que un mess.
agreed but it shows what happens if you pay big transfer fees and pay high wages often enough
Outbid everyone (including us) to buy Rafinha from Leeds and paid top wages ....... not to play him that much either.
Definition of NOT sustainable ..... and that's what the sustainability rules are designed to stop
Sadly they are mad enough so might do anything.
Be good to se them play in National League though after their penalty is know ......
Exactly this. Maddison was ready and so is Olise. He can play wide or centrally he'd be my number one target. We now need guaranteed quality. Olise and Sesko get rid of Gil, PEH, Locelso, Sessingnon, Parrot. If we added them two gave the development role to Donnelly ( forgoing a Wharton) I think we'd be a match for near anyone.
We already have our right sided player, like it or not Johnson was the long term investment to play out there and the club aren't gonna spend £70m+ for a player to play in the same position after already splashing £50m on that position a year before.
Kulu & Johnson for the right. For next season at least. It's CF & LWF we need to be strengthening
Yup.
I don't like it and before he signed I wasn't excited by Johnson but it is true and I do see why Ange wanted Johnson. He will come good. Gordon looked a total waste in his first season at Newcastle, now look at him.
If Werner is a hit then we'll sign him permanently, not sure we'll sign a striker unless Richie leaves.
I don’t think we’re good enough up front and we can’t keep relying on Sonny as he ages.
Other than squad depth, this is the obvious upgrade this summer although I think we’ll be relatively quiet.
Would love Kvara and a solid striker though.
Few clubs looking at Jordan James as an alternative to Wharton. Can't say I know much about him other than he's a Welsh HG CM, currently at Birmingham.
It's only 2 games but Werner looks set to be a stop gap from what we've seen so far.
As soon as Son is back he's playing off the bench. For us to make him our second highest salary he's going to need to be pretty special in these few games before Son comes back.
But Olise can also cover Maddison so he'd still be a good buy especially if we get ECL. Sesko* because deep down I see Richarlison in Saudi with Neymar and his sister. Werner isn't going to be retained.
Point still stands, we're not spending that sort of money for 'cover'
100000% this.
Other than Son, none of our front 3 are elite level. Richy is shaping up nicely for an Ange #9 but he's about running and finishing. Deki and Johnson are still young and both have high ceilings but the most obvious place to push for a really elite player is LWF. The fact that Son can play #9 as well makes it the perfect place to recruit.
Werner was a prudent pick up in January but unless we are selling Solomon and Werner ends up a squad piece, there is no reason to make him permanent.
It's comparible to Man Utd losing out on a transfer target to Oldham.
