His style definitely suits the Premier League, just six goals and six assists in his last Championship season. The biggest problem for him will be living up to to the British record transfer fee. If Pep keeps rotating his squad and Grealish can't hit the ground running as a result the media will hound him. Don't think I'd care if I was on £350,000 a week mind

That won’t be an issue for very long.

Sounds like Chelsea are about to get very close to it. I love Lukaku to bits but he never did it against the top 4 at Everton, it seems alot in todays market.

Seems a bit of a dead comment. He is surely a better player now?

Guess we will find out. He's been destroying Italian defences which I thought were of much lower standard till the Euros's 😆

I thought Chelsea would persist for another year with Werner and target Haalands £68million release clause next year. As I said it seems alot.

When Jorginho was your top goalscorer with seven goals you simply have to sign a proven goalscorer.

Surely he didn't actually say that... Embarrassing.

I think the only chance Chelsea have to get Haaland is now. Once that release clause kicks in there will be too much competition.

Good to see the city youngsters improving. Pep should ask brendsn how he does it.

You know where his heart lies. His destiny has always been Elland Road

They tried to sign Messi only last year!

I'm guessing Mbappe to Madrid when his contract is up in 2022 and then PSG will move for Haaland. It depends on what state La Liga is in this time next year, in the past you would of expected Madrid to move for both of them.

Madrid cant afford it. Much like Barca. Watching the Messi press conference here. Said last year he wanted to leave but this year he didnt want to leave. Offered to take a 50% pay cut.

La Liga’s salary cap is set at 70% of revenue. Barca’s wage bill to revenue ratio is 115%. If he played for free it would still be over 90%. So as it stands they can't even register Ageuro to play this season.

He's certainly done well with limited ability.

Or it’s a very complex money laundering scheme. Need to make that Russian money legit somehow.

So fans of other clubs don't have that opinion then? Or do you want me to ignore the fact he's lazy and dives at every opportunity? Didn't show up in the Championship when he was getting kicked out by teams like Rotherham did he...

If you want to re-read my reply I did say teams “like” Rotherham, bet he didn’t fancy it down at The Den did he? 6 goals and 6 assists that season is hardly special for your little golden boy. He’ll be much better in Manchester being carried by De Bruyne

Messi to PSG is such a shame.

I’ve always swayed towards Messi in the classic Messi v Ronaldo debate and to be honest never expected him to leave Barca but now that’s happening for him to move to such a sub standard league is really disappointing.

Surely if you want to cement yourself as the G.O.A.T then you come to the Prem…

Ultimately money is the winner.

Always reminds me of this stat which still blows my mind. The mans got nothing to prove.
