Alejandro Garnacho (out) | Chelsea make enquiries

[Valencia Shin Crosses]

Can't remember Rashford winning a header in his career.

Talent is a nebulous concept in any case, it's really really hard to say which characteristics a player has that will determine whether he fails or succeeds. Rashford had a lot of good ingredients when he was breaking through, but I think Garnacho is a cut above him in terms of technical ability (ball-striking aside) even though he's also not in the top bracket. If he can develop the physical side and decision making to a good level, I think he can be a top, top player. These are both very coachable/trainable aspects of his game so I believe he's gonna have a good career if he finds the right set-up.

You think Garnacho is more technical than young Rashford? Goodness

would adeyemi’s sale be pure profit due to his status as an academy player, and therefore, would permit them to significantly increase their spending potential (albeit amortised)?

I think only a mortician can answer that.

Absolutely

Well he is south american, has blond hair and does a couple of stepovers and in top of that scored that sublime overhead kick ! He must be technical I guess…

You don't think the pricetag would be double if we were the buying club?
Garnacho has done lot more than Hojlund and we paid 75m for Hojlund. Lot of people defended the awful decision in that topic too. "young", "bag of talents", "most exciting player of this generation" "we'll get 10 years of him" etc....
I'm not against selling him, but If INEOS cave for anything less than 60m, they are fecking idiots like previous CEOs, simple as.

We don't have to sell.

Høylund was 64+8, I wouldn't be sure that those performance related add-ons will kick in. Also, Atalanta were reportedly completely shocked, and would have sold him for way less.

Well he has 7 headed goals in the PL so he's won at least 7 by my count

Why don’t we get Adeyemi? Sell Garnacho and buy Adeyemi for around the same money.

Christ on a cross

Pretty similar tbh.

 

[Walter Sobchak]

Wouldn't have considered either shining examples of technically sound/solid players tbf. Much of a muchness.

He literally scored in his PL debut(?) against Arsenal and also scored a few headers in his 30 goal season under ETH. But its all moot now anyways as he's shown he hasn't got the required mentality.
