He might be best player in PL history when he’s done

The big problem with that is he's not good at football

I think this is it. Private air travel is great for cutting down overall travel time, but you're not exactly getting a good night's sleep. And of course you still have the same time zone adjustment issues to deal with whichever way you travel. Wouldn't be at all surprising if on and off poor...

I don't really know how but it's somehow totally escaped me that he's only 20. I was so impressed when I thought he was 22 or 23 that this is an incredible surprise!

I was debating just going with the best in the league but figured I’d give it a full 90 minutes

Is Savinho one of the best wingers in the league already? Certainly looks like it.

Imagine if we loaned this guy out, my word.

It's a very good point. Professional footballers never overreact or act childish, it's totally out of character.

Hope it's true but considering his market value is roughly $0 that report is tough to believe

It takes like 5 minutes in football manager?

I think we mostly agree but at the end of the day if you take Chelsea's money you know what you're signing up for. They haven't been a stable environment in forever so this shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. edit: saw they gave away his number, which is pretty low

Love to see it.

I like Raheem a lot for what he did for us here but this seems fair to be honest. The new manager prefers a different style of winger and is giving him clear feedback that he would be better off leaving the club. He can stay of course if he prefers to collect his contract but he won't play...

I don't know a thing about him but it does strike me that these are the exact kind of signings that we eventually struggle to find a buyer for and end up loaning out for two or three seasons in a row. Whether that matters or not, who knows.

You sure? I think it's far more likely Gundo's playing as a #8 than a Rodri backup.

I'm indifferent to this one. He was great for us obviously but unless he still has legs to play the six which seems unlikely (and comes on a free on a two year deal at maximum) we don't need him.

Kova for me. He made me forget about missing Rodri for 90 minutes.

Seems like quite a good deal for all sides. We get a good fee, Atleti get a very good striker, and the player gets to play his actual position. Alvarez is good but I never got the sense he was particularly special in the sense that he's irreplaceable or something, so if he wants to go then sure.

Rodri’s such a good guy he took a red just to spice things up a little bit

By the way, for anyone surprised that we can't sell him it's because we gave him a new deal literally last year. We'll be back here the next few summers.
