and FWIW, I was actually in the Noni camp regarding the Noni v. Neto debate in general. I just don’t think it’s as black and white as some people make out and they were both at similar levels in the end.

It wasn’t an argument of why Neto > Noni, it was just said to smash the illusion that Noni was by far our best winger like Neto didn’t do anything worthwhile.

Not claiming Elanga at all, you’re the one who brought him up & I was just bringing some to the table. You’re just busy here inserting your own assumptions and arguments instead of simply discussing. You’re talking about Noni here like he’s a 30 G/A player.

Let’s just come back to this next season.

Not worth the price. Would be a bad allocation of funds. I think Pedro achieves what we want from a player like him, and he’s more versatile too.

higher ceilings than Noni & will replace his production, starting from next season straight. Gittens grabbed goals against Bayern & Madrid. Also Neto will most likely improve on his current work next season for us as well. Him, Sancho and Noni weren’t far apart this season. All pretty average.

Acting like Noni has been a world beater here, he hasn’t. Screams of when people were crying about Mount being sold because he was at the time our best midfielder/forward.

Like I said we’ll revisit this next year. I’m not that fussed because I think guys like Estevao, Quenda and Gittens have…

Where in the world do you get hyping up from? Neto had a stronger end to the season, scored important goals and assists in the run. “Two kids” alright let’s talk at the end of next season. Pedro we’ve seen float in the PL and the Championship. You’re doing too much for a guy that’s been up and down.

Noni after GW2 scored 4 goals in the league. Best out of a bad bunch of wingers. Now got Gittens, Estevao, Neto and Pedro as wide options, with Quenda coming in. Noni has potential but it’s also possible that he has a down year and his stock crashes. We have guys with more upside in the side imo.

they aren’t and whilst that’s true, I’m just saying using Elanga as a bench mark like it’s bad that we didn’t get way more for Noni isn’t the hill to die on. £52m base fee is pretty good.

Elanga has more assists in the past 2 seasons than Noni does G/A overall.

Elanga has been better overall than Noni during Noni’s time at Chelsea.
