2021-22 English Premier League Chelsea Manchester City http://www.sportnews.to/sports/2021/premier-league-Chelsea-vs-manchester-city-s1/ https://www.totalsportek.com/football/epl/Chelsea-vs-man-city-match-2/

We are crazy if we lose Rudiger and only replace him with the dwarf We have had and do have so many CB's (including fullbacks who play in a back 3 at CB) who are 6 feet or (the majority) under 6 feet and we just sold Zouma, one of the big boys Azpi Reece Sarr Lewis Baker (who did play at CB for Tuchel this pre season) Thiago (the ONLY one on here who is good in the air) Ampadu plus the sold ones Guehi Tomori was barely over 6 feet Ake was under 6 feet now add Kounde and subtract Rudi eek we would literally be down to only AC and Trevoh as our only CBs over 6 feet tall plus the youth players Levi Colwill and Xavier Mbuyamba, who surely go out on loan next season (Colwill is out now) Jake Clarke-Salter and Matt Miazga need to be sold, they are never going to play here and next summer they turn 25 and 27yo

It was very iffy if we would cough up £200K PW. £400K PW is utter madness. Bye bye Rudi, IF true (I do not trust the source 100%)

2021-22 German Bundesliga SpVgg Greuther Furth Bayern Munich http://www.sportnews.to/sports/2021/bundesliga-greuther-furth-vs-bayern-munchen-s1/

Ex Chelsea: None Ex Chelsea: Nathan Diego Costa Ex Chelsea: David Luiz Filipe Luís Kenedy

imagine if no Covid market and they had dropped £135m on him!!

Salah wants new a £500,000-a-week contract for 5 years (he will be 30yo to 35yo) or he will demand a transfer LOLOLOL Like those cheap cunt yanks are going to shell out £130 million (180 million USD) on a player in his 30's

Lacroix really is a big unit

great little cheeky finish

IMHO, it is crazy to lose him on a free over only £3m per season (the difference between our offer and what he wants) we are likely +£70m in the black come January in terms of buys minus sales and loan fees, +£53m atm (Anjorin will likely have his £17m buy option exercised by Lokomotiv in January) and we still have 5 players to sell or loan (Barkley, Musonda, Lewis Baker, Malang Sarr, and RLC (might not sell him, who knows) Buying the dwarf and losing Rudiger on a free in summer 2022 (and doing nothing else at CB) weakens the side IMHO now IF we are talking about losing Rudiger and buying one of these (and not Kounde) Alessandro Bastoni (left footer) Marquinhos (can play DMF too, which is a massive boost) Matthijs de Ligt (not my play, would take any of the other 3 over him as he will cost around £100m) Maxence Lacroix (the ONLY one of the 4 that will not be at least £75m, plus not almost impossible to pull) then yes (and I suppose it could be possible to buy both Koude and Lacroix for the combined cost of ONE of those top 3

The Tammy and Mou show continues

2021-22 Italian Serie A AS Roma Udinese http://www.sportnews.to/sports/2021/serie-a-roma-vs-udinese-s2/ https://www.totalsportek.com/football/italian-serie-a/roma-vs-udinese-match/

Hard pass on Pedraza, I watched a lot of him when we were linked. Targett is already at his level of club. It all comes down to how long we can milk good seasons out of Alonso. He turns 32 in December 2022, and there are extreme few fullbacks/wingbacks who are still great on season in which they are or turn 33yo, so ext season is probably the last at top level for him. I list Theo all the time, BUT if you look at my transfers wants, LB is the last one of the biggies after DMF CB (especially if we fail to resign Rudiger) CMF (Saul is looking shaky AF atm) Winger (as 'Puli The Injured', Ziyech and CHO (who doesn't even play winger much now anyway) are just not performing to a level we need, hopefully that changes, and also, this position for me and my wants, is down to one player, the crazy hard to pull Chiesa, so I am very difficult to please here, as the only other one I love is Mbappe and he sure AF is not coming here. Winger as a global position, in terms of remotely available players, is SO weak atm, and will only get weaker over as many of the big boys hit 30yo an older very soon. The only weaker position overall is the absolutely atrocious state of available great RB's, thus my freakout (the only one of the window) when we lost out on Hakimi, who is tearing shit up for PSG. I would have to say (funny that Villa is mentioned again, lol) that gun to my head, IF we had to by a RB this instant (well January or summer 2022) Matty Cash is probably it, unless we roll the dice on Joakim Maehle. James Justin would be in there (as Leicester have 3 good RB's), but his knee (bad ACL injury) is destroyed atm. then LB (although in summer 2023 LB leaps to the top or near it)

LOl, oki, you roll with that. Do you even watch Serie A and AC Milan? IMHO, this is one of the poorer hot takes in months. https://www.whoscored.com/Players/303115/Show/Theo-Hernández Who do you think we should move for? It is easy to do a drive by shit-on Alphonso Davies Not available Andrew Robertson Not available Theo Hernández Ferland Mendy Not available (overrated due to be on RM, and very injury prone, he is ijured now, very limited offensively, he is the AWB of LB's) Luke Shaw Not available Nuno Mendes Not available Raphaël Guerreiro More of a LMF/Winger that a fullback, worse defensively than Theo Angeliño He was an EPL bust, on a great team Robin Gosens I rate him, but he is worse defensively that Theo, and next summer is last chance to buy, as we would only get one sub 30yo season after that José Gayà €100m release clause and has stagnated Lucas Digne too old to buy next summer (he will turn 30yothe summer after that) given the insane £50m+ valuation Everton tossed on him Kieran Tierney Not available Oleksandr Zinchenko meh, meh meh Leonardo Spinazzola damn shame he was injured, and now he will likely be 30yo before he fully recovers (if he even does) from his Achilles rupture Renan Lodi has collapsed at Atleti lately, very poor Sergio Reguilón not impressed, may be another La Liga wonder who is meh in the EPL Ramy Bensebaini I rate him, many do not Alejandro Grimaldo meh, overated for year, farmer league wonder Nicolás Tagliafico soon 30yo, and a farmer leaguer, always was overrated Rayan Aït Nouri too young to make definitive call, but he has hardly set the EPL on fire so far Owen Wijndal farmer leaguer, not that impressed so far Vitaliy Mykolenko worth scouting Borna Sosa probably who I would go for if not Theo, he has a wand of a left foot, he is only 1cm shorter than Alonso, and is an assist machine Douglas Santos was impressed versus us, but he is not big league proven and again, we would only get one fill sub 30yo season out of him Pervis Estupiñán has stagnated, meh, doesn't even start anymore Mathí­as Olivera worth scouting

I suppose we could terminate the loan (we would pay a penalty I am sure), or loan him to another side for 6 months. I am shocked at how shit he has been. Makes no sense. He was, for 4 or 5 years, a WC beast of a CMF until last season, right when he entered his ultra-prime years. I cannot think, off the top of my head, another MF atm who was so good and now has just collapsed in his mid 20's, and not injury-related.

and my other side wingback number one want Theo, is killing it for AC Milan as Robertson only has (after this season) one full sub 30yo season left (2022-2023) it would be flip a coin (almost) for me if I could take any LB/LWB on the planet (Alphonso Davis versus Theo) I would still probably roll with Davis, but Theo is surging

Hakimi is carrying PSG

Oh, I forgot to add, the next month, in June 2002, some of their players blew the WC Final to Brasil, lol Ultimate horror stretch

in 11 days in May 2002, Neverkusen blew the Bundesliga title, The DFB-Pokal final, and the CL final
