Mykhailo Mudryk signs for Chelsea

Sometimes billionaires forget all the good business acumen that made them billionaires originally. There appears to be no cohesive strategy in our recruitment, taking into account needs and a plan to bringing all together. He possibly is a good player but at 100m you expect a world beater, unless Todd has seen something in him that can play RB or DM.

It's interesting for me because all of the attacking quality in this team has pretty much come from Kante winning the ball back high or from the wing backs. With all three injured we look toothless. You wonder what an extra winger will add but hey let's hope he does well.

400m to have a worse squad than we had last year is pretty hilarious, but that's American management for you.

Just curious, what is “that’s American management” predicted on? Assume simply Chelsea. 

This transfer seems really high for a relatively unproven player. High risk.

The naivety when it comes to football (FSG excepted). Glazers, Kroenke etc.

 
I have never heard of this bloke. This money was better used on a CM. Surely 

this clubs has lost its marbles 

I just cannot get my head around this 

 
Fabrizio has said Mudryk has been promised to go straight in to the first team (not hard now right) and be retarded as an important player (for 100mill I hope so!) Plus being sold on the project through lots of cash.

He was dreaming of Arsenal and "desperate" to go there, however they told Shaktar they would not pay their terms and shaktar told him they would not accept an Arsenal offer if they did not, so either go to Chelsea or stay here and see what offers you have in the summer.

Yeah, fair examples.  The prior page put this as a Hollywood signing - curious how this pans out. I’m all for the youth signings we continue to make - the marque ones so rarely work out for us.

His acceleration is good. Drives the ball forward, plays with confidence. He's actually a perfect Arsenal player lol hope we don't ruin his confidence.

Doesn't really matter, if Arsenal was after him too and if we're willing to pay alot, there are less chances that he doesn't work out. What we need is more goals, that alone helps the whole team.

Watching some of the individual highlight clips from particular matches he has played you can assume he is probably at about a similar level to Pulisic when he joined. I think his crossing and switching play might be a bit better, but that is a small sample size. 

 
To me they’ve seen enough of all the current attackers and will ship them out. Retooling the attack, perhaps bar Sterling

I was going to say something about our lovely new owners but decided not to.

 
🔵 | 𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 𝗪𝗘 𝗚𝗢: Mudryk to Chelsea!

Mykhaylo Mudryk to Chelsea, here we go! Documents are being exchanged between Chelsea and Shakhtar after the mission exclusively revealed today 🇺🇦🤝🏻

▫️ Mykhaylo Mudryk will cost €100m package as Chelsea have accepted the conditions wanted by Shakhtar in direct talks today.

✈️ Mudryk, arriving in London tonight as medical tests have been booked on Sunday in order to get the deal sealed.

▫️ Contract will be signed after medical tests for the next seven years, so deal will be valid until June 2030.

▫️ Important to clarify that Arsenal have made their best by offering €70m plus €25m and reaching an agreement with the player — but they wanted to be clear with their vision, strategy and not go into crazy fights after Chelsea proposal.

 
Why are the official Chelsea social media pages all telling us to follow Mudryk, when the deal hasn’t been officially completely yet? Very odd

Wouldn’t matter if we have no players that can play/pick the pass. We were better off using the money we spent on Felix/Mudryk to retool our midfield. Doesn’t even have to be Enzo Fernandez, Eduard Spertsyan (Krasnodar), Enzo Le Fée (Lorient), Bennacer (Milan) are all brilliant alternatives.

 
The thing is as crackerjack as this all appears to be, I watched Joao Felix for just 15 mins and I want us to sign him permanently.  He looks exciting and could be an important part of where we may end up.

I hope this lad does much the same. If so we may well forget about any of these financial details.

I confess I am conflicted myself and I have no idea how they are going to ship out the dead wood. But if he can get all of these new faces to gel and can introduce some sort of pattern that is worth watching then perhaps we can stop talking about the club owners and maybe start to enjoy the footie.

This is actually one to get quietly excited about (if we just ignore the central mid issues) and the fact he won’t flourish under Potter.

God knows what squad number he’s taking though, we’re pretty much out of numbers now. 

There needs to be a BIG summer clear out.

 
I second Bennacer, he's quality. 

This whole transfer makes very little sense. 

 
“Chelsea will have filled their PL registrations after signing Mudryk. So anyone else coming in will mean someone sold or unregistered for the last part of the season.“

To buy more, we’ll need to sell.
