Gazza M Interesting, Gravenberch is one who left and seems to have found his feet. Tel is up against stiff competition at Bayern as well, they were well stacked across their front line. Went onto the Bayern forum on reddit and a few there complaining that Coman, and Gnabry getting starts over him. A lot of fans not happy about him leaving which is only a positive!
yeah, it's a werid dynamic. the only true centre forward is 90 year old Spud, Harry Kane. and there are bunnc of old and / or injured AMs in Conman, Gnabry, Muller and Sane. the only person with a reasonable future path is Olise. so you'd think they would want to make it easy for him to stay.
Well want Tel. Great profile and I think he’d be able to help straight away.

Looking at Tel’s stats, 12 goals in 60 appearances since 2022 at Bayern. That’s not all that.
Anyone seen him play?
Sicario2 - Tier 1 he’s 19, those appearance stats are skewed- he’s only started around 20 games or so
Fair point from his point of view and at least shows he is considering carefully where he goes. At Chelsea they have Neto, Sancho Madueke and to a lesser extent Palmer, Nkunku and Felix as well. What is the point from his point to go on Bayern's bench potentially to Chelsea's? He clearly needs minutes and at Arsenal he'll get plenty of those. Even when Saka is back lets be honest Martinelli's spot needs to be under more pressure than it currently is.
JazzG spurs could rival us for playing time but at Utd there’s too much competition also
Sicario2 - Tier 1 Those two clubs are a shambles so would probably be better for him to stay at Bayern or go to another club in Germany/Spain than there.
Sounds we are very keen but want some kind of option or permanent deal which Bayern are resisting, as the window goes on hopefully their stance will change.
I really like the look of Tel. He's tall, quick, has good technique and can strike a ball well. He's definitely nowhere near the finished article clearly at 19 so I do think that we should be very careful in how he's viewed in the short term (if we were to get him). But I'd much rather give minutes to someone like him than Sterling and I do think that he's capable of contributing right away - just nowhere near the impact of someone like Cunha or Mbeumo. I also like his versatility in that he could potentially give some minutes at CF due to his size and skillset, as well as offer a different profile than someone like Havertz or Sesko. It may just be due to his size and style but he does remind me a bit of Leao before he really kicked on - a tall inside winger with dribbling skills, pace and some power.
It would be great if we could get an option to buy permanently because I think his value is only going to go up and he'd be a great option to have next year. But even if it's just a straight loan, we need bodies and I'd rather roll the dice with him than Sterling personally.

Paul O Keefe is very reliable re Spurs but not sure of his Utd links
United is lord of the fucking flies.
Sicario2 - Tier 1 Why would he not just go to Chelsea then you'd think? Who knows, like you say that guy is reliable for Spurs but dunno about Man Utd.
For some reason I thought Tel was around 21/22 years old, didn't realise he is still 19.
Looks like he is keeping options open and wants to actually play.
That one has come out of the blue? I don't know how reliable this guy is for transfer news but he is pretty reliable for youth players and for Chelsea.
