The thing is, so we're Abraham, Tomori etc and they got their moves and actually proved at a decent level that they are good players. Hudson-Odoi has shown less than both in the PL though so I'm not convinced he'd easily do the same but it wouldn't be out of the realms of possibility. I do worry he's more Demarai Gray though in end product. 3
ian__marshall Posted 30 July 2022 Posted 30 July 2022 Most overrated player in the PL. Thankfully the wage he's on means he won't be joining us. 2 1
Guest Posted 30 July 2022 Posted 30 July 2022 "Hudson-Odoi's immediate future at Chelsea hinges on whether the Blues are able to complete the signing of Jules Kounde from Sevilla. Thomas Tuchel is not expected to sanction the 20-year-old's departure unless a replacement is already in situ at Stamford Bridge." Yeah real like-for-like replacement there 1 2
J.Lisemore Posted 30 July 2022 Posted 30 July 2022 Average player on obscene wages, it's a no from me 4
desertfox2 Posted 30 July 2022 Posted 30 July 2022 And we think 60k a week for Choudhary is obscene. Which it is.

Absolutely in all seriousness I think CHO could end up loaned out to the Championship, he hasn't shown enough for a PL club to take a chance on him IMO with those wages unless Chelsea pay the majority.

He has bundles of talent but he’s more at our level than champions league winners level. In his only sustained opportunities in the first team he actually plays very well. Doesn’t suit tuchels system though. I wouldn’t be surprised if he arrived and was on the same level as barnes tbh and who would turn that down? the question has always been the finances involved to get him here. Absolutely no reason this guy couldn’t push on to be a top top player how is he over rated, 90% of the posts on here say he isn’t good enough based on the fact he doesn’t break into chelsea’s team … the same that said lingard was a hopeless case before he went to west ham Edited 30 July 2022 by Lambert09 2

Numbers aren't great and never really impressed me when I've seen him. I believe we could do better. 1

StonyFox Posted 30 July 2022 Posted 30 July 2022 (edited) I'd take him if the price (and wages) was right. Would be threat on the opposite wing to Barnes. Still only 21 so has room for development. Edited 30 July 2022 by StonyFox 1
Guest Posted 30 July 2022 Posted 30 July 2022 I think he'd be an upgrade on our current right wing options but unless he fancies a considerable pay cut it's surely a non-starter? The same source also has us in for Lookman who is seemingly as good as signed for Atalanta so I'm not sure we should be paying it too much attention either way.
splinterdream Posted 30 July 2022 Posted 30 July 2022 I mean....wages? I'd of thought we'd be looking at a player like this when we've somewhat reduced the wage bill, isn't it more about quality rather than quantity now we're not in Europe? We need to be scouting hard to try and find some bargains who may be happy to play for £30k a week

A very good player not quite good enough for Chelsea, or consistent enough, but could easily do well here. 1

A very good player not quite good enough for Chelsea, or consistent enough, but could easily do well here. He's young, and as long as he's motivated but I'm not a fan of the Rodgers (taking failed players with something to prove), I just think it'll fail more than it brings results. It works for us as long as Chelsea subsidise his wages but are we really going to sign him at the end of his loan on his expected wage? We need a long term structured plan and if this is part of it fine, but just get the feeling this is laziness in the rodgers mould just like the signing of Bertrand and vestegaard. For me let's stick this season and invest money on a serious scouting network and try and unearth some talent that doesn't expect £100k a week 1

Do you think Rodgers has a finger on the pulse with world football talent? Because ideally it's clear we need a talent factory because we just can't afford to keep renewing contracts for players wanted by the top 6. This is all speculation of course because we may have loads of scouts all over the place but over past few years it feels our signings have been lazy and desperate
AyewJoking Posted 30 July 2022 Posted 30 July 2022 Buy. That way, Chelsea have one less player to score against us next season
trugerkem Posted 30 July 2022 Posted 30 July 2022 Overrated and overpaid … don’t want him anywhere near our fantastic club 2
trugerkem Posted 30 July 2022 Posted 30 July 2022 I’m convinced people are just drawing names out of a hat now 1 1
MarriedaLeicesterGirl Posted 30 July 2022 Posted 30 July 2022 I'd take him on a loan with an option to buy, but if he was successful here, his wages would be an issue. 1
