I thought we were talking about his goals for Lille, why are you suddenly pulling out career goals stats? He scored 10 penalty goals in the league last season, so 14 non-penalty goals, in Ligue 1.

Do you know how many non-penalty goals he had a season before that? 13. Not quite a massive improvement is it.

It's infinitely more impressive than scoring goals in the Belgian league though.
 
I think most people were working on the assumption when we signed Richarlison that we were signing a squad player to back up Kane and Son for injuries or fixture congestion.
I knew he was the long term Kane replacement and tried to warn people at the time.

The issue is he just isn't very good. 10-15 goals max a season and a bit of a petulant twat to boot.

I'd rather play Son through the middle tbh

£60m on a squad player ?

If you thought that ........ I've no idea what's in your head, but its not reality.
 
Given the system we have I think we keep Sanchez for this final season, Tanganga and Dier can move on. Long as we have 4 defenders who can play in a high line we should be ok so that is one additional CB needed.

As for the rest we need a striker and a versatile attacker. Successful window from here is 3 more players.

I cant face any more of Sanchez. The other two arent any good either but sanchez has had more lives than a cat. If we got a bid of £10 million for him I'd let him go. In fact if it was half of that I'd still consider it.
 
Whilst I am always up for taking the piss out of Chelsea, perhaps we should be saving these kind of posts until we actually win something?

We have achieved nothing yet to be gloating about how cheap Bissouma and Sarr were.
Can you list the trophies Chelsea have won with Caicedo and Fernandez? Anyway, the post wasn't comparing trophies, it was comparing players and their relative costs.

(Admittedly, Fernandez did make an assist against West Ham last February, so it's not all bad for the racist scum)
 

Unless it's Mr Hasselhoff, in which he case he definitely is it

David Hasselhoff Hello GIF
 
Come on mate. Don’t be our Maguire.

Have some self respect and look for a move wher you can play some football. Leave on good terms. Good bloke, not good enough footballer for us,

Poor show from Eric if true.... He's been treated VERY well by the club since he arrived.

18 month spell of injury/poor health between 2018-20... Comes back and a few months later he gets a new deal and a pay-rise and has since been given a multitude of chances to work through what has been 2/3 years of very erratic form.

It can only be a money decision as he's not gonna attract better than Fulham/Palace etc. if he spends the next 12 months playing table tennis at the training ground.

It’s clear from watching him play that he takes little responsibility and deflects blame to others.

We all know people like that. Wouldn’t be surprised if he blames spurs for the shit player he is now.
 
I don't think I've seen him beat a man for pace in like a year now. Richy is not a plodder, he's been a PL quality winger for years.
Did you not see him on Saturday? Richy a quality winger for years? Define winger please. He’s a barger who plods about with very little guile. He sometimes produces but it’s nowhere near enough mate. We can’t just keep playing him and giving him chances. We need another option now. I’d honestly love it if he started scoring consistently. If there was signs that he will then that might be different but since he’s been here he’s not looked like scoring much.
The longer it goes it’s soldado and Jannsen all over again.
Fuck it I’ll bet on him to score 2 on Saturday now 🤣🤣🤣
 
Looks like he's definitely more of a pure goalscorer than a wide forward.

This is a guy who at 23 has started 177 games in his club career and had a hand in 119 goals across two different leagues.

A goal every 1.4 games he's involved in.

I haven't seen David exclusively. I don't watch much, if any Lille. But his stats dont look bad at all.

Interestingly, comparing data an it seems that him and Orban are nearly identical. With Orban being more deadly at finishing and David being a much better creator
David became Lille's top goal scorer in Ligue 1 in the last 60 years just this weekend.

He's a really good striker. Not Kane good but very few are.
 
This is Ange forcing him out I think. Not picking him in the squad sends a message. If he stays he's not going to play at all.
I can perhaps understand the club being interested in contract talks beforehand, but it's clear they were dead in the water as soon as we got Ange in. To be fair, I think it's suitability for the system rather than trying to be vindictive/issues with Dier's attitude.
