Mykhailo Mudryk - Off to Spurs

[malcolmw]

Here, Here

What I saw today is they want to send him to Strasbourg because of the links between the 2 clubs, but he wants to stay in the PL.

Leeds are rumoured still talking about a loan for him, but loan fee too high (surprise, surprise).

One thing I am sure of - if he comes in and acts precious, Farke will have him warming the bench and polishing boots - regardless of his reputation - just like Spence did.

Then again, we all threw our toys out the pram when Solomon came in and look how that turned out.

Murdyk not in the squad playing Fulham, so seems he's going somewhere.

Either that or he's still not fit enough to be included in a deep Chelsea match day squad....

Wasn't about quality with Solomon though.

Just fitness.

With Mudryk it's quality, fitness and cost.

Too many variables imo.

As you say Farke won't guarantee minutes which I agree with, but big name players won't just nod they will get onto their agent and the media.

It's not worth it.

Well he did have a few cameos in preseason. But certainly not fit to start.
But Id have thought if he was staying theyd have him on the bench.

Well, they clearly want him gone for this season. But it's looking more likely it will be their sister club in France.

Except he has stated explicitly he wants to stay in the PL. But at the end of the day he's an employee - so will have to go if instructed.

I'm a bit fatalistic on this one. The recent history is of course against him, so a huge risk to bring him in, likely on a high wage (unless he REALLY wants to stay in the PL). But there is a massively talented footballer in there somewhere and Leeds, over the last couple of years, have been able to bring out talent in a lot of players.

Also if they are going to sell him in a year as Alonso starts building his own squad (with a bulging cheque book), Strasbourg likely couldn't buy him. His valuation has of course gone through the floor - some sources saying about 10million at present!!?

Its interesting, Chelsea are apparently reluctant to include an option to buy at the end of the loan. That's either because they see him being able to "work his value back" and then sell (or keep) him, OR they know if he remains a flop - wherever he goes - they'll lose their ugly little blue shirts on him, so they need to start fishing.

Difficult situation for Alonso - he'll be under pressure to increase the value of this player, back to somewhere near what they paid for him (which was too much). But the fact a loan is even being entertained means Alonso doesn't see it as HIS priority. Well buddy - legend or not - sometimes you cant have your cake and eat it too

wonder what the deal is i.e. how much is the loan fee, what % of his wages ( read he is on £100K per week) is it a season long loan, do chelsea have a return clause

I was wondering about the players who had played for both clubs. This list is post 1992.

Of course that doesn’t include

Chelsea will want his full wages paid, a return clause, guaranteed starts, a fine if we don’t turn him into a. £100m player and a partridge in a pear tree

Aha! He must have a foot like a traction engine!

[Orange Box]

Chelsea have now sent another player to Strasbourg, meaning Mudryck CAN’T be sent there, since that allocation is now full. Does this mean his Leeds move is back in focus?

Looks like he's off to Spurs.

I know you will all be very disapointed!

That will probably suit the "London Playboy"
Might lead to Wee Willy staying at ER a little longer

Didn't want Mudryk.

No clue how a player who hasn't played for 2 years became our preferred choice.

Or how the pivot from Brandt to Mudryk made any sense given totally different players.

More bothered it seems it was him or nobody now?

I'm 100% with you not wanting Mudryk. But I don't know where you come up with the negative speculation that it was him or nothing. I think we were looking at opportunities to sign offensive players with no transfer fee. Which limited the market. But both Brandt and Mudryk fit the profile. And of course we were able to sign Harry Wilson on a free.

I know a lot of supporters want everything now. But the strategy was clearly to get an elite Goalkeeper, and to strengthen the Defense. Which we were able to do. So I'm pretty happy with the transfer window even if we don't make another signing. Although I think we will probably get at least one more. But the squad is absolutely better than what we brought to the Premier League last season.

Is Leite still available as a free agent? With Joe out we might need him.

He is but Porto were talking to him and he is Portugese.. good 5th CB though once settled. I assume we're waiting til the window shuts
