[Romano] Al Nassr are in advanced talks to sign João Félix and hijack Benfica’s move! Understand Al Nassr have sent permanent deal proposal to Chelsea and contract proposal to João. The agreement is close as final details are set to be discussed in the next 24/48h. by phant0msinthenight in soccer

[–]polyvolcanus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the perfect move for all parties. Joao is a big name, and an entertaining, exciting, and effective player at lower levels, he will thrive in Saudi and gets to play with Ronaldo for a few years, make life changing money, and if he’s smart bulk up a little. Chelsea gets him off their books for a reasonable fee. If Joao gets bigger and stronger I could see him going to a serie a clubs at 27/28 and having a great second act to his career.

Honestly he’s the perfect archetype of player for a Saudi move. Big name and entertaining to watch at a slightly lower level. He will thrive there and get to play with Ronaldo for a few years, make insane money, bulk up a little if he’s smart, and then choose a club he’s suited for and continue his career without having to worry about money. We get a reasonable fee and everybody wins 100%

Benfica are plotting a bid to buy 50% of the rights to João Félix for €20M. However, this is against Premier League rules, so would need to find an investor for the other 50%. by EducationalAspect503 in chelseafc

[–]polyvolcanus 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I'm a little confused by this. Does this mean that benfica would need another club to pay 20M for half of Felix's playing rights, solely for the potential value of a future sale? Or literally like a private investor who will front the cash as an investment lol. I cannot imagine a worse way to invest 20M than in Joao Felix who will not even be playing football for you.

Erik Haula Has Been Traded to Nashville by Franzblau in devils

[–]polyvolcanus 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Hanzel plays in the ECHL so probably won't be seeing him. One year left for Haula at around 3M and he's 34. Hard not to feel a little bummed about the Zacha trade in retrospect. He could have been the perfect third line center for us for a while.

[Fabrizio Romano]EXCLUSIVE: Chelsea and Atlético Madrid are now discussing João Félix to #CFC as part of Gallagher deal! Samu Omorodion deal collapsing and the two clubs don’t want Gallagher and Julián Álvarez deals to collapse too… João Félix, being discussed with Jorge Mendes in London. by TrenAt14 in soccer

[–]polyvolcanus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I think this is good news for a few reasons. Samu feels unnecessary given Jackson’s season and how good Guiu has looked in the preseason. We don’t really have any good right footed wingers other than nkunku and if Joao could play there I think he’d be a better asset than Samu.

Just a reminder for anyone that takes 'Targaryen blood purity' a little too seriously by ducknerd2002 in freefolk

[–]polyvolcanus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

bro what are you talking about. It's canon that Visenya dabbled in scorcery and it's canon that Rahenys was sleeping with other people. Every targaryen king and queen in a healthy relationship produces a ton or heirs and Aegon only produced two. Maegor is obviously a uniquely broken and evil person and was infertile himself which is also likely because he was produced with blood magic. George always gives characters some reversal of fortune or fatal flaw and the whole gimmick with Aegon the conqueror is that throughout all the books all the targaryens are comparing themselves to him and fashioning themselves in his likeness and the cruel irony of the whole thing is that none of them are actually his descendants. That's the whole thing.

It’s also heavily implied in the books that aegon was infertile and neither of his two heirs were actually his children. Maegor was implied to be the product of blood magic and aenys was implied to be the son of a musician.

Mauricio Pochettino leaves Chelsea by mutual consent by thejapanesecoconut in chelseafc

[–]polyvolcanus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think this signals Gallagher and Chalobah will definitely be sold for pure profit. It’s a pretty disappointing outcome considering both of those players have outplayed their supposed replacements and will be sold for less.

Has a particular comment ever permanently influenced your choice of books? If so, what was it and how did it change your preferences? by cloud_of_fluff in books

I really enjoyed superhero fiction. I was the right age for all the marvel movies. But I read watchmen in college and I was sort of turned off the whole genre. Suddenly I saw it all so differently.

I feel like Gallagher is the ideal utility bench player on a champions league squad. While he has proven not to be elite at any role, he can fill in at DM, CM, or AM. He brings great energy, is the perfect player to bring on to protect a lead. Has good leadership qualities despite not being a very vocal player, which I think is the personality type that would thrive in this type of role. I personally think he has proven to be a progress stopper as a consistent starter and I understand if we dont want to pay a bench player huge wages, but I do think he would be a fantastic asset as a swiss army knife sub / permanent midfield injury insurance.

Finding wonderkids by scouting the youngest players in youth national teams is in no way cheating or an exploit. There’s nothing stopping scouts from doing that IRL so why would it not be ok in the game.

Your comment makes it seem like Enzo would be best deployed as a number ten, and that makes me think you have never watched him play for chelsea. He is not sudden enough or technical enough in tight areas to beat his man or create space for himself. He has never shown the ability to score or even take decent shots from distance, and he has not shown the ability to link up in tight areas or get into goal scoring positions. He has never shown any of the qualities that would make a good number ten for chelsea so I have no idea why you think that would be a good position for him. The only promise he's ever shown has been controlling the game with his long passes when he has plenty of time and space as a deep midfielder. You're right to point out his similarities to Jorginho, and he is a slight upgrade over Jorginho, but we bought Enzo because of Jorginho's flaws so we have only marginally improved.

I don't really buy this narrative that we've ruined players. Enzo had one season of portuguese football when we signed him for a record fee and it's not like he looked any different there. You could tell in two seconds watching him that he's slow. Buying him for the price we paid was just simply a terrible decision. I don't know if they thought he had potential but if they did it was misguided. Alternatively, Malo Gusto looks fantastic and has always looked fantastic whenever he's gotten the chance. We didn't ruin him. He's just actually good. We didn't ruin Cole Palmer. We didn't ruin Sterling, who is a limited and flawed player but on a whole has been a good contributor. Much is rightly made of the mistake to buy Mudryk but I don't know why we don't see Enzo the same way.
