these isn't anything out there unless we buy Håland (not happening) Mbappe (even less likely) or drop £100m on a huge (2 years in a row) dice roll on Osimhen or an even bigger (albeit less costly) dice roll with Darwin Núñez we fucked up with Vlahovic, not a chance Lautaro will be sold, Kane will never come here Isak, Inaki Williams, Jonathan David, Youssef En-Nesyri , and Malen collapsed in form, Dominic Calvert-Lewin has never regained form post foot injury , fuck Richarlison Tammy is not coming back (and he is not the answer anyway) I doubt the cub will move for youngsters Karim Adeyemi or Hugo Ekitike now Lewa will go to Barca if he leaves Bayern Gianluca Scamacca is interesting, but not sure if he is right for us (massive, 1.95m young 23yo Italian, but lacks pace) Sasa Kalajdzic is even bigger (2.01m) but slower than Scamacca Evanilson from Porto is interesting , but I am leery of that Liga NOS unless its a bang on talent like Dias and Diaz, need to scout more all the other options are fucked, unless you are talking wild gambles on CF's like Andre Silva, Azmoun, Belotti, Daka, Haller, Poulsen, Barbosa, Schick, Martial, Icardi, Depay, Amine Gouiri, Cunha, Watkins, Kean, Toney, etc, all of whom I will NOT endorse a move for all the rest are 30 and up in the top 50 valuation wise, or with us now or were with us before there is pretty much the entire CF recruiting field , at least atm and counting top 50 valuation players

CF Gabriel Jesus Winger Ousmane Dembélé (free) or Gnabry or Mousa Diaby AMF/Winger Christopher Nkunku DMF Aurélien Tchouameni (Boubacar Kamara, a free, if we miss out on Tchouameni) LB Borna Sosa or David Raum RB Djed Spence 2 of these 3 CB's Bremer Josko Gvardiol Merih Demiral ship the shit out of the fucking deadwood

The main 16 (15 if you remove Raphinha) winger options (Chiesa is off the list due to his bad knee injury, he wont be ready to even try to buy likely until summer 2023, same for Florian Wirtz) some are AMF/Winger or CF/SS/Winger hybrid types The main 16 (15 if you remove Raphinha) winger options (Chiesa is off the list due to his bad knee injury, he wont be ready to even try to buy until summer 2023, same for Florian Wirtz) some are AMF/Winger or CF/SS/Winger hybrid types Raphinha (likely Barca bound) Christopher Nkunku (Insane production at AMF/winger/SS, 54 goals produced with 2 games to go) Serge Gnabry (if he doesn't renew with Bayern) Ousmane Dembélé Jarrod Bowen Mikel Oyarzabal Moussa Diaby Carlos Soler (AMF/CMF/Winger combo) Karim Adeyemi (more of a CF/SS, but can play winger, he is very young, just tuned 20) Arnaut Danjuma Cody Gakpo Allan Saint-Maximin Pedro Neto Ismaïla Sarr Charles De Ketelaere (AMF/SS/winger type, similar to Havertz, 21yo, 1.92m) Kamaldeen Sulemana (potentially a Mane type, turned 20 two and a half months ago, projects to 15 goals, 6 assists over a full season minutes, almsot all of it as a teen, as he was injured for months)

I have posted Jesus's INSANE productions stats, but I see almost no one who wants him here I can see him tearing shit up at arse, unfortunately never really thought about sterling coming here, I think it unlikely, but he is a quality winger (I know many here do not agree)

yes, likely United bound (which sucks) he has grown 4 cms in the last 2 years, so is now 1.82m, which is basically at or very near my cut off for CB height (1.83m minimum or so, although he is CRAY fast and great on the ball, and so I would prefer him over Kounde (and he would be far cheaper as well) I would not at all be unhappy IF we bought Timber as a the 2nd CB buy (and he can play RB as well) he may well end up a semi Alaba type

Mbappe? lol oki

same height as Josko Gvardiol and José Giménez and a full 7 cms taller than Kounde (I think more like 8 or 9 cms as I do not trust that height for Kounde, he is really short, that afro makes him look artificially taller when he blows it out) and Tomori is also 2 cms taller than Marquinhos and Thiago Silva

unfortunately, I have done a bit of deep dive into Broja lately, and he has been really poor for a good long spell zero league goals in 3 months only one goal overall (in the FA Cup) in that span only one assist all season, all comps, and that was in December 2021 all 6 of his league goals were in a 3 and half month stretch starting in mid October 2021, and only one (v Spuds) was against a top half of the table team 5 of his 9 total goals (all comps) have come against Newport County (2 and that was in August 2021 in the League Cup) Brentford, Leeds, and Burnley I had said we could roll with him a while back (if we signed no one), but I fucked up (sorry!) and had not done my full due diligence he is in no way ready to lead our lines

imagine the dive fests with Richarlison, Neymar, Pogba (who would also be telling all the others to dive), and Penendes all on the same 11 man starting side roflmaooo only would be missing Salah (who has kind of stopped it a bit, but still is a diving berk at times)

who suggested either or both of these 2 insanely egotistical prima donna clowns? I have never seen a single legit link to either Neymar (turns 31yo this coming winter and is always injured) would be ground to dust in the EPL, and Pogba (turns 30yo this coming winter and is always injured) is a pure wanker

he only wants Barca, BADLY, so we have no chance, basically, especially IF Leeds goes down (as then he will be so cheap due to a relegation clause) what it MAY help us with is Dembele if Dembele sees the writing on the wall (ie way less minutes)

call me crazy, but I think Grealish has a big year next season just a pure gut call maybe I look a fool a year from now in the last 8 EPL fames plus the last 4 FA Cup Cup games, when he was playing 90 minutes in almost all of them, Citeh scored 37 goals his scoring stats are not at all overwhelming at all, not even close to what they should be, but he plays a monster role in the build-up and also draws so many defenders Citeh gave only lost one of those games (that crazy FA Cup semi v Pool) obviously they fucked up in the CL against Real in that last game (and that extra goal coughed up in their win in the first leg), but he only played 42 minutes in that 2nd one, and zero in the first Real game, so hard to blame Grealish for all that De Bruyne and Walker being subbed off (Walker was injured, which has simply massive, if he stayed heathy the who game ZERO chance Real wins) 72 minutes in was a key to Citeh blowing that lead, the replacements (3 slowpokes, Ilkay Gündogan, Zinchenko, and old ass (37) Fernandinho, whose legs are gone for that DMF/CB hybrid role versus WC players) simply could not cope with Rodrygo's, Vini Jr's, Valverde's, Asensio's and Camavinga's pace (pace is why we smashed Real last season in the CL) Pep got out in-game bench coached again

Kounde scored an OG v Villarreal yesterday with a shit defensive header straight over his GKer's head (completely due to Kounde's lack of height) off a corner, but it was chalked off due to an offside on Villarreal he did score the game tying goal of a their own corner, after some horrid clearances and a ping pong rebound that came to him Emery is jinxed v his old side, Sevilla, only has won one of 9 games

Christopher Nkunku career pens Bruno Fernandes career pens

only 2 of his topflight goals ever have been pens btw (both this season) so he is not a Penendes stat padder

hard pass on Kounde mark my words, and have said it for ages do not buy especially for bloody £68.5m

34 goals, 20 assists so far He has 2 games left (if RB had not collapsed against Rangers, and if the Bundesliga played the normal 38 games that all the other big leagues do, and if their Europa League tie with Spartak Moscow (they would have won that tie, 95% for sure) was not cancelled due to Putin, he would have 5 games left plus 4 more already played He has already broken the all time European MF single season goal scoring record (in terms of the top 15 leagues) with 34 so far If he had those 9 games more (4 played already plus 5 or so more to come, depending on how a 38 game Bundesliga schedule is sorted, so probably he would have played at least 2 more of those 4 added matches already), I would wager he would have scored 40 goals for the season and ended on 25 or so assists (as the 4 missing league games would all be against shit teams (19th and 20th teams added via promotion to the 18 now), plus the one league game he IS going to play is also against a horrid side (Armenia Bielefeld)

scousers going wild in rage and calling citeh (lol, if THIS is not the height of arrogance, nothing is) get this LIVERPOOL SPOILERS

wow Citeh turned it on again and won 5 nil massive flip flop in GD from down one to up 4 and a 3 point lead

Malang Sarr and Trevoh Chalobah star in incredible Chelsea comeback to clinch survival vs Tottenham Two of Thomas Tuchel's first team were called upon by Andy Myers on Sunday afternoon for Chelsea's Premier League 2 clash against Tottenham, which the Blues had to win to avoid relegation https://www.football.london/Chelsea-fc/news/sarr-chalobah-Chelsea-comeback-tottenham-23898590

Wood should have so scored there

what is up with that Citeh defence already playing like they did the last 35 minutes v Real

I would so take finishing 4th, even if it is Spuds above us, if we also beat Pool in the FA cup final would be fucking crazy if Real beat them too and Citeh win out and win the EPL final trophies would be Chels a treble (Continental champ of champs (Super Cup) , world champs (FWCC), and the the biggest domestic cup on planet, the FA Cup) and if that happens WE should have had the quad, that fucking league cup final with all those misses Citeh one (EPL) Pool one (league cup) jammy cunts for that one too Leicester one (Community shield) IF that happens, I would have to say we had the most bizarre season in EPL (and likely topflight English) history of any team EASILY, nothing even ever close continetal champs, world champs, FA cip champs BUT also complete collapse (other than the FA Cup) at the end played like shit most of the season, other than the 4 cup finals and then early on for a spell and then, of course the Roman nightmare and all in the player insanity and the fullbacks injures

would be insane for Pep to get NOTHING (not even the CS, (as Leicester beat them 1 nil) or the league cup) all season, with that team
