He’s had a rough time at Chelsea but I’d put him more alongside the likes of Paqueta and Maddison. i could see him making an immediate impact on the first team where Pedro might be filed more under squad player/one for the future Pulisic's end product can be ASMesque at times. Ok maybe not that bad but that's been the main reason he's not a Chelsea starter. Maddison is definitely a level above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said perhaps Pulisic because he likely does have more quality than Sarr, but at the minute it's mostly unrealised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 6229 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) The Watford dressing room was vilified as the worst some pros had ever been in. Not sure how they are making so much money out of the front line when they did fuck all. Edited August 20, 2022 by Holden McGroin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy 2311 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) Watford are definitely willing, so if it's the case of a few million surely something will get done. If this transfer goes down the tube I'm going to get flashbacks to the Ashely days of when literally two or three million would scupper a deal. I'll add the caveat that the new owners are nothing like Ashley obviously, but if they are so rigid as to let a transfer go because a player is a few million over their top valuation, then that's pedantic in the extreme, at least comparatively in football terms. I know they want to stay within their planned spending for each window, so we can spend substantially and sustainably, and not be in Everton or Leicester's positions, but surely there's some wiggle room. Of course my hypothetical rant could be unwarranted nonsense 😂👍 Edited August 20, 2022 by Polarboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polarboy 2311 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) I'm still none the wiser as to what the difference is between a verbal offer and presumably one that is sent in writing, you know apart from the obvious. Hopefully that offer will get it done given they were reportedly after 30m. The only thing that should really scupper it is the stipulations for the extra 5m being entirely unrealistic.

Kid Dynamite 6822 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Sounds like they're trying to cash out for both of them. 113 pro games is a decent amount for a 20 year old. He's not as raw as some are making out and should be good to slot straight into the starting XI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably they would have played Pedro at the weekend if the intention was to keep him if they sold Sarr. Then again perhaps they withdrew him because his head wasn't right to play. Him wanting to move will surely have an influence on their decision though. Fuck I hate the transfer window 😂 Edited August 20, 2022 by Polarboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magpies were willing to offer 30 million euros and Ajax turned them down. The proposal was verbal.

Polarboy 2311 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Are we likely to be spending 30m on a defensive mid though? Perhaps if he's a player we have in mind for the future and we think we can get him now, a bit like Bruno's transfer, added to Shelvey's injury. Plus I suppose if we get Pedro and then one of the Chelsea players on loan we'll be covered for the striking and wide positions. I have seen some journos say we're after two permanents, and Downie has said we're after a midfielder given Shelvey's injury. So all thing considered it could have some legs.
