Liverpool bound I thought?
Apparently not as they wonât pay the release Clause in full up front.
Fabian Ruiz with Napoli not obtaining CL football plus Ădegaard. The dream for me. RB and RCB (Saliba?) too.
Saul Niguez or Fabian Ruiz?
I genuinely wouldnât be surprised if thatâs who we go for if Xhaka leaves.
Have I manifested two of those 4 in just 24 hours?
Erm, can we get Mbappe too?
Iâm on my knees.
Xhaka out, Saul in.
PLEASE!
Iâm really quite happy with our variety and youth in the three attacking mid / wide forward positions. Martinelli, Saka, PĂ©pĂ© and EDB, potentially Ădegaard too.
Thatâs the kind of young attack that could gel and combine for a good few years to come. Itâs got pace, directness, creativity, unpredictability, movement and work rate.
If we have these 5 for the 3 attacking positions behind Auba next season then that might be enough without European competition. Maybe Willock rejoins the group?
I think adding a player like Grealish would take us up a level instantly, but this group could get there organically with some patience.
We need to focus on a RB and a CM (or even two). Iâm interested to see how many players we can get rid of this summer - that will obviously dictate the players who come in.
Locatelli is available Sassuolo want to sell him from what I understand, and Juve canât afford him lmaoo heâd be the answer for a replacement for XhakaâŠand then some.
Who was the last Italian to come from the Serie A and succeed in the PL? Balo? Jorginho(Yes, part Brazilian)?
Jorginho ?
Used to be highly rated before he came. Nobody rates him much now it seems.
Viviano
In terms of being elite Zola for me. Although Balotelli did okay.
Canât remember an instance personally. The climate of world football is very different now tho. Juve would snap him up normally, but we have so much more resources than they do atm. We should take advantage.
Gianfranco Zola
For what is worth, City have been monitoring him and their talent ID is excellent soâŠ
Of course he is. I told yall this kid was a baller about a year ago. I was told he was shit lol
Onana ÂŁ7m
David Raya ÂŁ18m
Hakimi ÂŁ40m
Varane ÂŁ50m
Bertrand/PvA Free
Saul Niguez ÂŁ50m
Buendia ÂŁ40m
Edouard ÂŁ15m
=> ÂŁ220m spent in total
The more I think about this, the more perfect it would be to reunite Partey and Saul together. Iâd still like Bissouma, but if we could somehow manoeuvre Xhaka out of the squad for decent money this season, we could be on for a game changing summer transfer windowâŠ
Thatâs the clearest upgrade you could get.
We know those two will gel. Their partnership is perfect. We know Atleti are considering selling him. You really want to keep up with Chelsea, City, Man Utd and Liverpool. Thatâs where you go to.
Iâm sorry, however I much I like Bissouma, he ainât gonna cut it as a starter here for a club that wants Top 4. Bissouma should be a guy pushing the actual starters and maybe eventually earning his spot in the starting lineup.
