Rojo????
The Caf just really likes Grealish and would do anything to convince themselves that we can get him. Whether it involves Grealish forcing a move to lower the price to something cheap or involves paying up to 60m for a rotational player
We are not going to get both and Chelsea are not going to sell him to us unless it is for a lot of money.
Chelsea wouldn't want to sell him to a rival but in a case they did, they'd ask for Henderson in return.
Good idea, but he signed a massive contract, so no way Chelsea let him move.
That's actually one of the reasons as to why he creates as much. Everything goes through him, he's their alpha and omega, only problem being his teammates inability to convert those chances.
Yeah this is one of the main reason I don't think he's worth pursuing for the money he would bring. He is the main guy with a free role where everything goes through him, not to say he is inflexible but he won't get that at United.
Not sure if I should continue that joke as it can turn very dark (I have severe but stable health issues).
Martin Ødegaard to my knowledge hasn't had any chronic issues, but I did some searching and a fairly new article (this year) wrote about him having patellar tendinopathy, which again google says basically gives you pain in the knee and occasional swelling. Guesswork from myself, someone who obviously don't know anything about this makes me think he'll be able to play perfectly fine but could need to be managed more, so won't play all games like most healthy players at his age would.
Even so, he has been playing through the pain for Real Sociedad, so it goes to show that unless it gets a lot worse he should still be able to have a good career. And if not, he should be damn happy he chose the money in Madrid before development in another country with the new predicament.
Something that should worry others who now would consider him for United is that if this issue is recent, he has had a big fall in productivity after the first half year, so it could be that the pain is hindering him when he is on the field. I haven't watched the games though, but that is how his progress has been reported in Norwegian media during the season: Great start but fading as the season has gone from midway to a close.
Not sure he's anywhere near good enough. Seems to need a loan or two.
Common sense and logic. We now see quite a lot of bits of information in relation to many players, but not to Grealish, whereas there were loads of info earlier.
Grealish doesn’t fit in this team unless we’re selling Bruno already. I’m not sure why there is a clamour to sign him.
Depends on how they told us they want 80m. If they were adamant he won't be going for less, I think that's 30m more than we were willing to pay in the first place (guess work on my part). There would be no sense in continuing to negotiate from those two points.
And then run Bruno into the ground again next season? If Bruno gets injured, we are back to the dreaded Pereira/Lingard/Mata trio. And Solskjaer and has been very reluctant to play Pogba as the #10(because we need his passing ability in the base of the midfield). If Bruno/Pogba aint working, we have no one to bring from the bench to change the game either.
For argument sake do you think this midfield and attack will struggle?
How so?
