good list
here was mine (with added comments for some, and looking at it, I can see why we went for Attila, who was quite impressive for Hungary NT)
listed by T-Markt valuation
Alessandro Bastoni (too expensive, doesn't want to leave, and has slumped lately IMHO)
Pau Torres (still not sold on him, I wanted to be badly, but he had a bad game too often when I watched him)
Lucas Hernández (Bayern would want a fortune, not sold 100% at all that he is worth what they would demand, now Theo, his brother!💙 a LB, THAT is who I want)
Aymeric Laporte (was an option, BUT he has never recovered to his top WC level post injury, pass)
Presnel Kimpembe (pass, far too inconsistent and has a bad attitude IMHO)
Benoît Badiashile (deffo was an option, but needs more time IMHO)
Evan N'Dicka (has stagnated a bit)
Sven Botman (was my number one left footed CB want and we did scout him hard, so there must be something we saw to take Attila over him)
Alessio Romagnoli (very bizarre multi year slide into mediocrity, I used to adore him, very sad)
Josko Gvardiol (another option, but a wee wee bit on the small side, but watch him, he may be an eventual star)
Amir Rrahmani (ambipedal, the only one on here, but also turns 29 next season and is not that athletic, he will stay at Napoli if he is smart)
Attila Szalai ( I am pretty happy with this, clicks a lot of boxes)
Mohammed Salisu (raw but is doing oki in the EPL, lets see how he progresses)
David Carmo (huge 1.96 22yo, was very interesting, but he has not kicked on so far)
Strahinja Pavlovic (20yo, huge, but too raw)
Renan (19yo on Palmeiras A gem in the making perhaps, but likely not yet remotely ready for the EPL, we may well face him the FWCC for the global championship)
Malang Sarr is not up to Chels level over the long term IMHO
I still badly want a right footed CB beast as well, Maxence Lacroix, please!!!
