Yeah as I said when we signed him the problem with his extremely high wage and previous showing in the Premier League is that there is nowhere for him to go next which doesn’t involve us taking a big hit.
I have never understood this transfer from the very first link and if he was playing for a rival the people falling over themselves to praise him would be falling over themselves to mock him.
The signing was just not smart. It was drastically different move to our prior 2 seasons’ mostly sound strategy of signing young players with clear resale value. He was on mammoth wages even prior to signing, meaning it’s impossible to resell, and he had to be a big hit otherwise it’s a big squad building failure.
Where do we go from here, when other players and their agents see this dude is one of our top 3 earners? What a mess.
Wonder how long people will continue to defend his signing. (Being different to supporting him which we should all be doing anyway).
There were so many red flags that people ignored and continue to do so. He was, is, and (probably will be) an awful signing we’re stuck with.
It was a gamble, and so far it’s failing massively.
The bar for Havertz is so low that if he completes about 10 passes a game this sub considers that a successful game.

me who already sensed the red flags from the start because of our history with Chelsea transfers in here but had no choice but to cope in the end
