I could see 25-30m with the rest in performance related bonuses if he keeps this up...

He found himself again, made me eat my words. Good for him. I hope we get a discount, but 35m is not that insane if he continues like this.

? I think its fair to praise a player when he does well, which according to everyone Bakayoko did great this match.

His wages are gonna be a problem tho. Don't know if he'd be willing to lower them, but that would be great

I think he’s playing a lot better than he was before, but 35m is still a lot for his performances. He still makes mistakes and have brain farts, but I definitely think a discounted price of 25m or so is a reasonable amount to spend on him.

he is as bad as it gets, another kessie with no brainer(only kessie is better defensively), rather spend money on a decent midfielder or make him a 5 M sub nothing more

A pleased Gattuso enthused: "My biggest surprise is to see Tiémoué Bakayoko play as he does right now.

"When he arrived, he used to run straight ahead. Now you can see that 70% of the time, he runs to cover the spaces horizontally. He has made a lot of progress tactically.

"It is hard to believe that he was able to improve so much in so little time. He did a great job and he deserves all he has achieved. I really hope he can continue like this.

"He must remain focused and continue to work ... I spoke to my assistant Gigi Riccio and I said to him: 'Today, it looks like he plays like Marcel Dessailly'. I admired him a lot when I was young. When I see Bakayoko, I see a player with the same characteristics."


Bakayoko. :love:

agreed. I like him but 35 mil is too much. 18 mil should suffice.

We bought Kessie for 28m from Atalanta. Why would Chelsea let him go for 18(after paying 40m+) if he's playing well?

Should negotiate his price down to €20M. Give Chelsea Bertolacci, while we're at it.

What a turn-around Bakayoko has gone through. I believe that he had completely lost his confidence, even from his time at Chelsea. Couldn't regain it in the first months here, after he "cost us" the Napoli game. And, now suddenly a boom.


I'm really happy for him, and i hope that he will continue on the path that he is currently on.

The midfielder is on-loan at Milan from Chelsea and has won over Gattuso in recent weeks. His deal carries a €35m option.

"Are we going to trigger the Bakayoko clause? I'm not the one for this," said Gattuso.

"We will find the money to do it, but my only concern right now is to push him to give his best on the field. The leaders know what to do and, above all, how much money they can spend."


We’re getting him

of course we're getting him.

rino seems to have a personal interest in him... almost as if he sees himself in the player.

and honestly, who wouldnt want to retain someone w the balls to overcome 2 countries shitting on him while in a rut, and becoming one of the main reasons we are currently top 4 despite an injury crisis never before seen

:thumbsup::star:

He had a rough start, but so do a lot of players moving to a new league. The whole Chelsea season was a mess for him and led us to think he was flopping here.

Really stepped up when we needed someone to, specially in Biglia's absense. Imagine having to start Monto/Mauri? This guy shows he can be class and is performing at his price tag. 4th place will be in no small part to his contribution these last weeks and going into the new year.

Absolute gun. Love him.

Also on that Cutrone chance he did fantastically well to control the ball with his back to goal and then get the ball to his left, deserved a goal but Cutrone fluffed it.

Kudos to ME for backing Baka since day one. I remember whilst others shitted on his signing I was one of a tiny minority to point out he had great potential and 5m was a steal. Thanks for providing me right Yoko Ono. One things for sure, we should redeem him at all costs. He’s still incredibly young (24) so will only improve further. Also, if we’re serious about winning we need quality rotational players like him, Biglia & Bona.
