Vesper

fucking offsides, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Zouma in a nutshell great crunching tackle winback immediately blasts the blasts from midfield into the end stands for a goal kick

he looks sharp already

Kovacic already paying dividends

we need new CB's DESPERATELY Tomori has shown me little, AC had a good game last one, but Rudiger and Zouma (Zouma needs to GO) are a POOR pairing

Willy feeding Zouma or Rudiger is a clusterfuck distribution nightmare from all 3 add in a shaky out of position Gilmour and two completely out of form fullbacks are no wonder we are bläääääääääääääääääää

Kante as a RMF is a 3 man MF is a waste if we are going to go Sarriball redux with him then sell him (work some swap for Varane if at all possible or Kante for Marquinhos + cash + Bulka )

he was our best player all year overall until the break and he has sorta been poofed lately by Lamps

we are SO lucky to not be down 2 or 3 nil

arrrf so close

why can we not defend set pieces???????

yes, he is being misused as a wide MF

Emerson and Zouma are a disasterclass at the back

ffs we look dire

if we win today, I have almost zero fear of Arse in the Cup they are dogshit

actually a good result for us as we need Sheff U to be fresh for Wolves and spuds

ffs 1 2 Arse

woot 1 1

those prices are off Rice will cost far more than £45m, would be surprised if he goes for under £60m (West ham pre-Covid were saying £80-85m or so, same as Chilwell) Tagliafico will be around £23-27m or so, as he is basically 28yo and Ajax operates in euros, he oly cost them 3.6m quid in January 2018, so they are makking a great profit either way Same for Telles, he will go for £22 to 25m (1 year left on contract and COVID market) zero chance they get his full release clause (the £36m ie 40m euros) and Porto are really forced to sell more as he turns 28 in December,, so it isn't like you are getting a 5, 6 year starter or even a player with much resale value Alaba at £45m (50m euros) is close, and is a fair price, but Bayern will scrap to extract max money, they are talking about £55m or so (60m euros) I think 52m euros, I think 53m euros ( £48m) or so would , 55m euros (£50m) for sure

£60-70m or so for both is not very cheap in my book

GK Ugurcan Cakir or Predrag Rajkovic or IF we just want a stopgap, then go for Vicente Guaita (who would become our new, FAR better backup IF and when we dump Kepa for good) Left-footed CB Alaba (can obviously play LB as well, allows us to sell both Emerson and Alonso) 20-25m or so cheaper than Romagnoli and far easier to pull, plus more versatile LB Telles (Alaba and Telles can BOTH be had for close to the price of Chilwell alone) OR If we want to drop a tad more then Theo Hernandez for LB DMF/CB Declan Rice, BUT ONLY if we fail at Havertz (and if we fail at Havertz I would go for Theo over Telles at LB as well as Rice now, otherwise go for Rice next summer) AMF/CF/SS/RW Havertz Forget Nicolás Tagliafico, he is basically the same age as Alaba (only 2 months younger) and a vastly inferior player to David, plus offers no flexibility (and is short) and now is not the time to get experimental (the bloke has never played, at almost 28 years of age, in a big 5 league, plus even IF the Eredivisie had finished, he only would have averaged around 25 league games played per year for his entire time at Ajax, 23 now per year, as it stands, and even if you add 9 more games on on top of this season's non-played ending, it is still only 28 per year, that is not good enough) Forget Chilwell unless we are talking £45-50m, which I so doubt Leicester drops down to, I think they stay firm around £80m, he is not worth fucking ourself out of either Havertz or a WC CB, the fullbacks I listed ar all massive upgrades on what we have now Juve are insane rating 29yo (30yo in January) Alex Sandro at 45+m euros so he is off my board (and his age worries me if we are tossing big money in terms of valuation in for him) IF we fail on Havertz and also do not do Rice and do not do the top 2 GKers listed and just do the very inexpensive Guaita, then we really should go for Romagnoli, Alaba and Telles, all three, or if not Romagnoli, then another WC CB like Skriniar or José Giménez or Marquinhos (who can play DMF to a superb level as well, thsu negating any need for Rice atm) or even try and do a swap, Jorginho + Emerson for de Ligt that is how I would play this

better threes and LOL
