Ridiculous situation typical of the Chelsea scum, but after Félix and now this, I question whether we need to chase it.
It's 15 January. We can still pursue other targets.
Mudryk, if he doesn't go on strike, will be heading to a club 19 points and a game in hand behind us, where the owners are Socal tech and healthcare M&A nerds who do their jobs sitting on inflatable fitness balls, and the manager's heading for the exit door under a cloud of dudgeon and denial. Good luck to Mudryk if he does that, his religious faith will come in handy.
If the hijack's on, we need to hope we have had the foresight to be able to pivot. This player, though an extraordinary prospect, is not the only way we can protect our league charge, and isn't worth wasting time paying €∞m for if this is how it's gonna go with Chelsea.
