Maybe I’ve only seen the worst of him but every time I’ve seen Havertz he’s looked so so average. Not even a sniff of why he was so hyped beforehand

He had 56 G/A from ages 17-20 at Leverkusen in 118 matches in the senior team. But IMO and IIRC I think he was playing more like Meuller and Dele Alli. Not a natural 10 but still effective due to runs, finishing, etc. Hasn't shown the return in Chelsea, but a lot of the time has been the out and out ST/false 9

That role isn’t really available at Arsenal though. Jesus already plays as more of a false 9 than a true 9 and Odegaard plays in the half spaces around the box on the right as the attacking midfielder. Unless he’s going there to be a rotation player I can’t see how it works

Lol Newcastle are going for Barella and we’re trying to sign Gallagher 🤣

Another club that’s going to eclipse us, sigh.

Fucking hell Newcastle are scary. Barella is arguably the best 8 in world football.

If it’s £50 mil though there’s no way the bigger boys aren’t in for him too. He’s elite

Quietly confident Bellingham'll win the Ballon d'Or within a few years. Lad just doesn't have any weaknesses and once he's winning trophies he'll be impossible to ignore. Besides, in this post Ronaldo/Messi landscape where fucking Benzema can win it, it's up for grabs.
You think he's that good? I haven't seen much of him, but he's never really wowed me. I'll keep an eye on him

He's immense. He's still only 19 and has 24 England caps, 132 games for Dortmund, stunning technical ability and shows an incredible amount of maturity on and off the pitch. I think the only thing that could stop him is the amount of football taking its toll because it's very rare that teenagers play so much at such a high level - but then again, he plays so much because he's so good. I just don't see a flaw in his game.

Lol Kane to join Geordie jeans on a free next year as they go for the title, and he can break shearers record while he's there?

Personally can’t see Barella to Newcastle. Surely e would be the perfect replacement for Gundogan at City if he were to leave.

3 years left on his deal and 50 mil. Even taking contract out of it, if Inter sold him for 80 mil I’d say that’s a bargain for someone who think is a top 5 CM in the world today. Fee doesn’t make any sense to me.
