Don't forget Ray WilkinsWas it a big statement when they sold Mount to us and the donkey to arsenal? Or when they sold us Mata? Or Matic?

He was under previous managers. Mourinho didn’t rate him but he was 25 and quite obviously didn’t have the potential to get much better at that point. Selling a 20 year old Garnacho because we need money is a completely different type of transfer.Mata was their best player at the time arguably. Or certainly one of them.
It’s very hypothetical but I would, don’t see either making it big in this league but obviously I’m in minority here with such perspective.If Chelsea make a 150m double bid for Kobbie and Garnacho do we accept?

What are we going to do, just sell every 20 year old that’s a bit inconsistent? He’s been overplayed and figured out a bit, he needs time to adapt his game, but he’s still a huge talent that we have very rarely had in the last decade from our academy.

Two players with glaring holes in their Game , with £150 m on the table I say why not .If Chelsea make a 150m double bid for Kobbie and Garnacho do we accept?
Mount was what 24/25? Mata was at his peak, just won their player of the season.How old were those players? There’s a big difference.
Exactly. It’s why someone like Lindelof is still here and Smalling went years ago, one was actually wanted and there was interest. You can’t force teams to want these players.For the people going on about getting rid of Rashford or Antony first - we need demand to actually move them on. There's not much we can do presently if the demand for them isn't there, and they aren't doing everything they can too to make a move happen.
Or stop clubs pissing money away recklesslyIt feels like such a glaring design fault in the PSR rules that they essentially incentivize clubs to sell home-grown players. Surely that’s not something anyone wants?
So had Mount, the season prior and the season prior to that!Mount was what 24/25? Mata was at his peak, just won their player of the season.
What's weirder is you saying that us selling a player Amorim deems not fit for his system for a good fee is Chelsea somehow making a statement. Maybe it's us making a statement to the rest of the squad that no one is safe? No it can't be. It's got to be the plastics from London making a statement.is that a serious question? It’s a weird one for sure.
Is that why he keeps playing him?What's weirder is you saying that us selling a player Amorim deems not fit for his system for a good fee is Chelsea somehow making a statement.

@Judas doesn't think that's us making a statement though but if we sold Garnacho that's them making a statement. Didn't know we had a closet Chelsea fan amongst us.So had Mount, the season prior and the season prior to that!
Napoli selling Kvara for £68m he has similar goals per minute but double assists per minute, and much more about his game than Garna, so the price is less than £68m by at least a bit, add to mix that we are up financial shit street and have a history of underselling, £50m would be a minimum with a sell on clause included but it is realistic if we are actually serious about sellingSurprised to see so many people saying they accept £50m. If the roles were reversed then there's no chance we'd get someone of Garnacho's profile for that price.
This is going to shock you but during the busiest period with a squad lacking attacking options, the manager will make use of squad players. I know, it's shocking. Garnacho doesn't look comfortable in Amorim's system, so come summer, he will probably bring in a player who is a better fit.Is that why he keeps playing him?
That's not how this works. Garnacho is much younger and doesn't push for an exit.Napoli selling Kvara for £68m he has similar goals per minute but double assists per minute, and much more about his game than Garna, so the price is less than £68m by at least a bit, add to mix that we are up financial shit street and have a history of underselling, £50m would be a minimum with a sell on clause included but it is realistic if we are actually serious about selling
I wouldn’t sell for 50m as I think Napoli will offer more - and I probably wouldn’t sell to Chelsea barring a crazy 90m offer - but if the roles were reversed we wouldn’t be trying to sign someone of Garnacho’s profile - his profile does not fit this system.Surprised to see so many people saying they accept £50m. If the roles were reversed then there's no chance we'd get someone of Garnacho's profile for that price.
Weird how that doesn't apply to Casemiro, Rashford and in large parts AntonyThis is going to shock you but during the busiest period with a squad lacking attacking options, the manager will make use of squad players.

He's a little younger not 'much younger'That's not how this works. Garnacho is much younger and doesn't push for an exit.
Three years is not a little when you're 20 ffsHe's a little younger not 'much younger'

Maybe but it certainly isn't as notable as you're trying to make out. Some exaggeration going on there.Three years is not a little when you're 20 ffs

Some of ye lot would sell your missus to a drug cartel for a twix bar
20 and a half years I'll have you know!Yeah you tell these old codgers
This is Chelsea we are talking about.Why would Chelsea want garnacho when Estavio is arriving from Brasil and plays in the same position?
