Baleba

Young English youth international LB currently playing for New York City. Born in London to Jamaican parents, but raised in New York from very young. Physically he's a beast, with pace to burn.

Kind of reminds me of Alphonso Davies.
Very young and inexperienced, but better than what we have, good for 10 minutes at the end of matches to bed in.
 
No chance we can get Baleba.
Can we talk about him though :) chances are Khusanov will be our only signing, and while we admire his clubs ability to sign future stars, they still need to sell, if only to show other future stars, that they can reach for the stars following his path.
 
I like what I've seen of him, but I recall others on BM saying there were issues with him & his performances were patchy. I don't know enough about him to form a qualified opinion in truth.
But from what you have seen, is he better than Gomez at LB,that is the position he is after. Both Gvardiol and Ake are better footballers, but only Ake is a better defender, and he may never get his fitness back.
 
Baleba is class.

People mention lots of brighton flops, i dont think many pop to the top of my head and most of them are cheap signings can they really be flops?

My apologies, I was thinking of a totally different player! I thought it was that right winger who plays in France. Lol :-)

Dunno about this fella either, so I'll happily accept your opinion of him.
 
I think he's 18/19 years old & is considered one for the academy, with the odd selection on the bench. He's a future signing, but I seriously wish Pep would consider 2 proper overlapping FB's for either side.
18 on the 25th (he cant move till then) but deal hasnt been confirmed by anyone just Fab in July. Doubt we see this kid getting minutes at all.
 
Would be far too expensive and far too risky, just check out Caicedo, 115M, your having a laugh.
 
Caicedo has been fantastic this season to be fair. I’d love to have a player of that quality in the squad. Most minutes of anyone for Chelsea this season. Crucial for them.
 
They might in a season or two. Didn’t they spend £200m last summer? That’ll still be on their accounts after the big money sales have dropped off.
They a fuckton of players now though, don't need to get the money back on this one, all the book values will be wildly different even before the get into Hotel fuckery etc again. They'll work it out overall no doubt
