What's new

Achraf Hakimi

The brilliant thing about us atm, is we don’t need to sell a dream, that’s reality, we must be the most attractive of clubs to join…pay the $$$ and they’ll arrive..

While these rumours grow stronger (60m + Alonso) can someone explain how we setup with Hakimi? Why is he worth all this money?

Because he is quick, can play on either side and can score goals. Over here in sydney I watch more football than is good for me including a bunch of European teams. Dortmund like some of the French teams are often a good watch because of the exciting young talent. A few years ago it was osama dembele then sancho, but actually Hakimi stood out as much as or more than sancho and more than Werner and more than pulisic. He stood out for the bursts down the wing, not from what I only vaguely remember for scoring or even assists. 
 

But then at Inter, he along with lukaku and Martinez and Barella were the guts of the team. At Inter though there were plenty of assists and goals. He can hit the target at least in Italy. I never noticed him defensively but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. He is much more attacking in nature than James, but James has fantastic ball security.

I just realised Hakimi and Ziyech are both Moroccan and team mates in the Moroccan national team. They also both vacate the right side of the field. I am seeing only positive impact on Ziyech who still is underused talent in our side. He is a really good footballer. 

 
37 goals/assist over the last two seasons with Dortmund & Inter from RWB.

Going to Serie A was a step up from the Bundesliga but he still managed to deliver the same kind of numbers for Inter.

If he can go from Serie A too the EPL and still deliver that kind of numbers as well we are golden.

Not sure about the step up. Bundesliga is pretty technical and pacy league. Serie A a bit slower league. Both leagues are top heavy. 

 
Some rumours that PSG are back in for him. I think if he is top quality and the “right” player, just pay the money and get it over the line. When the right players, come along, you have to snap them up.

Frankly, I don't think Ziyech himself would think he's been treated amazingly by Chelsea. He spent most of his time either sitting on the bench or coming off the bench. I think Ziyech himself might want to get out of Chelsea. Such is life at a title winning club, play time isn't easy to come by.

 
If these rumours are true I wouldn't be too concerned, make no mistake signing Hakimi is a squad upgrade but not specifically necessary to take us to the next level. Of the 3 rumoured areas it has to be striker, so if we save money here and can go all in for Erling I'm more than happy. I'm convinced this summer we sign 1-2 of out main targets anyway. 

Also even if we don't get Hakimi James can still play at RCB and we can draft Christian and Callum to play as high wingbacks which is good because then they're getting more game time. I wouldn't write this deal off just yet though, we all know how the papers can be.

He's been a garbage signing so no one to blame but himself.

Aye, rumours about that he has told Inter not to bothered entertaining are bid as he has not heard good things from Ziyech nor been impressed by how his countryman has been "treated". Basically told Inter if you want me to leave it is PSG or I stay.

Players ain't that precious.

Things ended pretty badly for Luiz here yet it didn't stop Thiago Silva coming a year later.

Thiago strikes me as someone who's more than capable of making the best decisions for himself, and does not rely on others' opinions.  

 
Genuinely couldn’t give a hoot if we signed Hakimi or not. The guy has been an absolute journeyman since he became pro and would be a nightmare if things didn’t go his way. 
 

Absolutely no-one at the end of the season would have even entertained the idea of signing another RWB. Let’s just put a bit of faith in Livramento. At the end of the day, giving faith to some of our academy talents hasn’t gone badly has it?

£80m? No thanks. Put the money where it’s actually ended. A goal scorer.
