Football Insider claiming Miggy is away. Are they the same ones who claimed KDB was away only for Pep to rubbish it? Just trying to understand the amount of salt I need to pinch.

Well let's hope this isn't true either. Madueke might turn out to be decent but even if you account for PSR it leaves a bad taste that he seemingly isn't good enough for them to fight to keep, and obviously it massively helps them to buy an academy player off them. Underwhelming all the way around.

He's not an academy player, they spent £30m on him from PSV. I personally think he'd be a shrewd signing (assuming he's not costing the earth). Half the time I've seen Chelsea play he's the only one putting in a shift.

 

But as Wyki has confirmed football insider is a shite source, and this is 99.999999% bullshit.

i know what you mean but i wouldn't turn my nose up at madueke - highly rated, and an obvious upgrade on miggy

I could have sworn he was given they've had him a few years, he's English, and he's still relatively young. But yeah, evidently he was at Spud's academy before going to PSV. Given they bought him fours years ago his fee probably is pretty much off the books, so even if he isn't an academy player it would still largely be "profit" for them. 

 

Edit. Just realised that I misread the contract signing date, and they only bought him last season 😂 Fuck it, let's just buy him.

If you look at his numbers last season they don't seem all that impressive, but upon closer inspection he only started a handful of games, and the games he started in were where he got most of his goals and assists. It's never going to sit right with me if we help Chelsea in any way given the way they conduct business in the transfer market etc, but I'm sure Howe could very easily make any trepadations I have about Madueke look stupid quite quickly. The question is will he take half a season  to adjust like Gordon, or perhaps more. I know there's no guarantee any player will hit the ground running, but it would be nice to have a player who's perhaps more fully formed, but Howe of course has said we can't afford those types just yet.

I think it'll be a quicker transition for Madueke as he's coming from Pochball which isn't too dissimilar to Howeball. Gordon was coming off the back of being chased down the street with bricks by his own relatives.

Trippier has been pictured in the departures lounge at the airport. As said in the article I was reading he has gone to Dubai before for treatment on injuries, but as far as I'm aware he's over his previous injury and it does seem like odd timing given the players are just back for preseason training. Add this together with the story the other day that he's increasingly looking to be on his way, and it looks like this is just further confirmation.

Im in the departure lounge from Barcelona and Lamine Yamal currently listening to Spaniel Ears. Yamal is wearing a retro toon top with Marcelino on the back, looks like the transfer window is hotting up!
