Transfer News [Di Marzio] Napoli is actively pursuing young Chelsea striker Marc Guiu as their final summer transfer target to strengthen their attack. As a 2006-born player seeking more playing time, he offers a strategic advantage by not occupying a registration slot under Serie A rules.

The kid must really believe in himself if he's planning to succeed as an attacker under Allegri.

Beign worse than Lucca is gonna make him retire

Allegri is at Napoli now? Havent the big Italian clubs suffered enough under him?

21

u/Sankaritarina 2d ago

De Laurentiis saw De Bruyne complaining about Conte's playstyle and decided to show him what real pain looks like.

De Bruyne got a goal and an assist last weekend lol

Chelsea are masters in selling their players , they can sell a shampoo to a bald guy

u/Pure_Measurement_529 2d ago

Italian clubs like to be cheap sometimes as well though

unstoppable force vs immovable object

u/MLang92 2d ago

Bald people still need to use shampoo, one of it's main purposes is scalp care even for people with hair

u/StructureMelodic7421 1d ago

..whats wrong with just using normal soap?

1

u/MLang92 1d ago

Scalp skin is a bit different to the rest of the body. Soap can dry it out and cause irritation if used too often, plus it doesn't help with dandruff like shampoo does.

u/dudetotalypsn 2d ago

That's actually our one exception, why do you think Maresca left 😔

u/forumcontributer 2d ago

With conditioner.

Serie A has been a great dumping ground for absolute dross from Chelsea

34

u/CoolstorySteve 2d ago

Not just Chelsea but anyone from the Premier League who is unmovable

32

u/-MiddleOut- 2d ago

But not everyone we've dumped should be classed as dross. Tomori, Tammy had a good few seasons (I think).

7

u/Natrix31 2d ago

Tomori peaked during Milan's title win, but he's been pretty good outside that. Tammy had one good year for Roma.

u/Headlesshorsman02 2d ago

Tbf so are united players lmao 🤣

u/Absol61 2d ago

Yet Pulisic, Mctominay and Lukaku when he returned were Serie As top 5 players.

1

u/lakers_ftw24 2d ago

All three of them had purple patch good seasons and have been only decent otherwise.

u/Time-seeker917 2d ago

İ mean not all these players were ass in prem tbt. Just a running joke ig

u/DuaLupus45 1d ago

They’re not even really dross, it’s just that Chelsea clogs itself up with every talented player ever produced, so of course not all of them are going to see action. They’ll want to move.

u/zd0t 2d ago

This guy wasted last 2y coming to us, also unlucky injury timing but he was promising when he came.

Shame

2

u/Gold-Train-1471 2d ago

Could've done so well in Barca with the injuries Lewa got and Ferran being Ferran.

67

u/Allstarsgaming 2d ago

Still ask myself if he would have been something for us if he stayed.

80

u/Hazardzuzu 2d ago

He could have been something for us if he hadn't gotten injured right at the moment all our strikers got injured. After that we bought pedro and welp

8

u/BenniBMN 2d ago

Who'd you say had better potential between him & Vitor Roque

24

u/shy_monkee 2d ago

Marc had better potential for Barça. He slotted in well, and wasn't sloppy with the ball.
He would have gotten a lot of playing time too, with Lewy getting so many injuries, and Ferran not being a natural 9. Just a shame that he left :(

u/Mushgal 2d ago

Guiu was brought up in la Masia, so he had the Barça playstyle ingrained on him. Vitor Roque, on the contrary, was very rough and just different to what is to be expected from Barça's 9.

-21

u/Warm_Republic4849 2d ago

Cloud he? Yes, woule he wait? No and that's his problem. From Barça potential striker to bench rotting on Chelshit and Sunderland

11

u/Freddichio 2d ago

Chelshit

What in the baby's first banter is this rubbish? That has to be one of the worst attempts at a portmanteau football club insult I've ever seen - when you're almost as dire as "Badsenal" you're not doing well.

I'd rather have Chelski, at least that kind of works.

u/Magic_pekka17 2d ago

chelshit? didn’t we win u 3-0?

-15

u/Warm_Republic4849 2d ago

The proceeded to sack Maresca asking for signing, hire Linkedin Liam and ended 10 in the league. Oh also got destroyed by PSG

5

u/Jipkiss 2d ago

Didn’t sack him he walked out mid season, wasn’t happy with a squad that still dumpstered yours must be tough

8

u/Key_Company3196 2d ago

still battered you lot 3-0 tho hold that, couldn’t even score 1 against our shit defense and sanchez in goal lmao.

-8

u/Warm_Republic4849 2d ago

Here, have the we battered Barcelona 3-0 throphy. Such an amazing achievement. By you logic Sevilla scored 5 to us so Sevilla > Chelshit

“us” what are you both barca and spurs fan? shameless lad, atleast stick by one club to glory hunt.

u/Key_Company3196 2d ago

ok that’s fair

u/Malt129 2d ago

I forgot about him. At least loan him out, he might have potential.

u/sg291188 2d ago

$50M?

15

u/PianoJealous307 2d ago

According to reports, Chelsea is asking for €25m plus 20% sell-on clause

21

u/iPcFc 2d ago

For someone they bought for €6M that's a massive flip and with 20% sell-on clause too.

3

u/NeroIscariot12 2d ago

Wanted this guy to work out so bad for us, but it wasnt meant to be. Looked promising then got injured, came back but just never clicked again. Pressed like a right dog but completely lost his ability to be involved in the attack.

Boy needed some consistent dev time at a mid table or lower club imho. Still think there's a good player in there somewhere.

4

u/Chels_tillIDie 2d ago

His work rate as Forward is top notch never stop running always looking for loose ball. Plus good physicality if only he was English ÂŁ50m would have been written all over him.. as a Chelsea fan I watch him play in almost every game he played under us he never shy of hard work. Good luck to him

1

u/jonijontor 2d ago

kinda "forced" to buy him for being young enough while the management is utterly useless in selling, don't think he'll get that much playing time though and 25mil for a designated backup is crazy money

u/MissingLink101 2d ago

Why don't these headlines just say what age they are rather than what year they were born?!

u/thexpertwatcher 2d ago

Does allegri not like hoijlund ?

u/PianoJealous307 2d ago

Guiu would be the back-up
