Clockwork

4-2-2-2 Havertz Jesus Mount Dembele Jorghino Kante Chill Silva Kounde James Mendy

Pulisic would absolutely thrive under Klopp.

Lukaku imo is the worst signing ever by Chelsea, for one he already flopped at United.

I am looking at it taking a step forward, why would you be happy with signings that don’t move the needle? Regardless, I rate Kounde out of all of them. That is likely to happen. Despite all of the hype with Dembele, he has hardly put a consistent season under him. Tchouameni? The next hyped midfielder out of Ligue 1, seen plenty of flops to come out there. From what I have seen there is nothing unique about him, his best skill set is ball winner. 80m for a ball winner? Lol. I see best case scenario Bissouma, which we can get and much cheaper.

With those additions I don’t think we are closer to Pool and City in the league.

Good, Can’t say I am excited about any of them.

Not sure how you can watch him say he is closer to Kovacic than Jorginho.

they are not like for like but much closer to Jorginho.

Gallagher is a B2B midfielder, I actually think Jorginho or a similar player gives him the best chance in the pivot. Or you risk a midfield that is very static. Some here want to move away from a Jorginho type midfielder, but I hope if we do replace him it would be a similar player. Ex Frankie De Jong.

We should be all over Bremer, worst case given his 25m price tag he would at least be a solid depth player.

Yeah Salah averages 4 shots per game, there is no way that is accurate.

Been very impressive against Italy, showing some ability to play with his back toward the goal.

Stats aside, you can see with your own eyes there is so much more pattern to the way Pool and City attack.

For me this is my biggest issue with Tuchel

Tuchel has used 4-2-2-2 to a sizable extent, we talk about 4-3-3 but I think that formation is more likely.

Tuchel is just making excuses, it was absolutely embarrassing how he talked about Kante injury being the difference where we finished in the league. whenever Kante was healthy he wasn't that good. Kovacic injury hurt more if we are being honest. Kante is only good for a few games at this stage of his career.

Conte won’t stay at Spurs long enough, like I said he is way too chaotic. There is no harmony with him, he is like Mourhino things will deteriorate or he will leave before that. Spurs can’t attract top players, add some solid players. Maybe win a cup, I don’t see them becoming a legit threat. They are bad news for Arsenal and United. If you see our positioning barely staying at the top 4 yes they are a threat, but if the goal is to compete for PL then I am not worried.

Not worried about Conte and Spurs at all. Seriously why worry about them? You guys worrying they will compete for CL qualification? we are 20 points behind Pool and City that should be our worry. Maybe you guys feel catching up to City and Pool is out of reach. Conte is very chaotic, he will be leaving Spurs in a couple of years. Maybe win a Mickey Mouse trophy along the way, that is all.

Taking transfer fee and wages out of the equation, I would take Neymar in an instant.

A lot of what I see translates over, I think he will be a good fit in the PL. skilled, athletic, and has low center of gravity. Fits the type of players that tend to be a success in the PL. Really like how he has his head up all the time. I think Dembele is the most talented player on the list, but he has been around for a while he still hasn't pulled it all together. 1. Dembele 2. Antony 3. Raphinha 4. Gnarby- I am not convinced by him tbh

You don’t rate Antony?

The more people talk about the back 3 and the players we are signing the more depressed I get about next season. Because what is changing from this past season to next season? Talking about Kounde and Gcardiol as WB occasionally gets me as depressed as thinking about Lukaku next season.

I am banking on Lukaku forcing his way out.

Very different players, he is more of an attacking CM than a CDM. Plus he is only 17, would need time. I think he is more skilled than Pedri.

It seems negotiating not going smoothly with Gavi and Barca, heck of a player.
