I'd personally prefer Cavani tbh. Dembele signing would effectively end our pursuit for Werner or someone of a similar ilk in the Summer.

Him & Telles would result in a solid window. Let's see what the "mastermind" can actually get done by next Friday.

Win-win for us, now he's no longer at the club. Not so much for Inter in 2 or 3 years down the line.

Got to give Conte props for staying loyal. Just add Alonso to the bunch & we're good. [emoji1]

I think any deal would have to be a permanent one. His contract is up in the Summer, so a similar one to Giroud's would be feasible.

Precisely for the reason you mentioned. If Real, Barcelona or PSG win the CL this season, they might want to go out on a high having won the biggest trophies obtainable. A PL & CL double is the only way I see things staying the way they are.

Title is theirs no matter what's gone before. On another note, we get away with yet another slip up. [emoji1]

I think it has more to do with teams catching up around the continent along with more backing. Having said that, what does that say about everyone else after last season in Europe?

I would say, don't write Lazio off, but they play Juve in over 3 months. Could be a distant past by the time it rolls around.

The level of consistency is unreal

It really could have been a great weekend. All teams in the chase seem to falter at the same time.

Mind pointing me to this revelation about the impending two year contract extension?

The individual that will be leaving in the Summer?

If Lampard is serious about an attacking player during this window, I'd be content with signing him & it would be straight forward for Marina to actually get done.

There's so many needless INT breaks, I'm unsure tbh. Either way, this sort of management isn't ideal unless shit has hit the fan prior (Luiz situation).

I'm sure the constant digs from Deschamps have played a part as well.

All comes down to lack of competition. Giroud has been a write off since the Super Cup & Michy isn't going to scratch any itch with minutes. A move needs to be made by 31/1.

Still the best option we have by a country mile in that position. Honestly have to wonder what our midfield supposedly offers most weeks.

Play him in Jorginho's position and we're fine. More pressing issues that need to be addressed where Lampard's management is concerned.

I think that's stretching a bit. Just can't stand the fact that he constantly looks to blame others than see he's largely at fault & man up to it.

We all knew it was bound to happen

Same story that's plagued use for the last few seasons - not clinical.

One player actually offering something You said midfield and I gave you options. We have 0 reliable options with end product.

I would have understood Lamps decision had he kept the same midfield from last week, but bringing Kante back in against such opposition baffles you.

Dire need shake things up. Lampard actually needs to make a change this week
