Vesper

I am the biggest Alonso basher here, and TBF, most all of those who were saying that said so (mostly, a few hold-outs still were trying to pass off that shit even later on) before Emerson finally came good (middle of last season) and looked the great player he was at Roma pre-injury Emerson is now streets ahead of La Tortuga,and there are only 5 LBs who maybe be remotely available next summer who I would rate as must buys over him Alex Telles (Porto) Ben Chillwell (Leicester) José Gayà (Valencia) David Alaba (Bayern, and last year to buy, as he is 29 in summer 2021;plus he will still be insanely expensive) and maybe Alejandro Grimaldo (Benfica) Alex Sandro is already too old in summer 2020, as he turns 30 in middle of next season massive drop-off after all those as Lucas Hernandez, Junior Firpo, and Ferland Mendy are now all off the board, Faouzi Ghoulam turns 30 nest season, and Benjamin Mendy is so injury prone it is ruing his career ATM (plus Shitty will not sell him if he fully recovers)

zero issues with him as an occasional left wing back we do not play that system though he needs to go next summer 10000000000000000000000000%

Werner is not going to be available, he is 90% plus for sure going to Bayern on a Bosman next summer, of for a greatly reduced fee this summer or January Lautaro Martínez needs to show me a WHOLE lot more than he has so far at Inter (as I have documented in a LOT of detail already) No more huge gambles please Iñaki Williams (Athletic Bilbao) just renewed until 2028 and his release clause if 140m euros now, so off the board unless we buy and play Zaha as a CF, it is really down to slim pickings at CF if Icardi and Dybala are gone Krzysztof Piątek (AC Milan) will be the main option (and if he was another 30 plus goal season will be insanely expensive now, THANKS BOARD!!) João Pedro (Fluminense), with Watford holding his rights is a wild card, and a potential superstar, but is only 17yo atm) I like your 2 CB's but would toss in some others too, José Giménez (Atletico Madrid) Ibrahima Konaté (RB Leipzig) Milan Skriniar (Inter Milan) Dayot Upamecano (RB Leipzig) Raphaël Varane (Real Madrid, although the hardest to pull of all listed) Marquinhos (PSG) Samuel Umtiti (Barcelona, if he has a rebound year) Evan N'Dicka (Eintracht Frankfurt) Nico Elvedi (Borussia Mönchengladbach) Nikola Milenkovic (Fiorentina) Boubacar Kamara (Olympique Marseille) Jose Gaya and Alex Grimaldo are hardly backups (Gaya is a top 3 or 4 in world LB), although I would go for Chilwell or Alex Telles (Gaya is also going to cost even more than Chilwell TBH, his release clause is likely 100m euros or close to that) Shitty have right of first refusal on Sancho, and they would probably (all comments by Pep earlier aside) block us unless we are paying an INSANE amount of cash, especially if Sane ends up going to Bayern in January or next summer, BUT I do absolutely agree he would be the best out there who is remotely going to be available (after Mbappe, who is my dream CF signing anyway but a pipe dream)

I see similar stories all over the net. Pavon is better than many starting wingers in the EPL.. He is streets ahead of Andreas Pereira at Manure, for instance.

What is it about Batshuayi that all our managers seem to hate to the point they refuse to play him and wish to sell? I am really at a loss here. I know he is far from perfect, but he is still fairly young, has pace, a knack for goals, works his arse off (watch his pressing this preseason), and is a good bloke, character wise. He seems to me to be our best overall striker (granted not a lot to get there.) I think it is madness to loan/sell him now. Luiz I understand, and after last night I feel much better about Zouma and Tomori (I never, unlike many here, have had recent doubts about AC.) I want Bats to stay and to be used a lot!!!! Going forward with only Giroud and Tammy (I feel terrible for the kid, but he just, at least atm, is not nearly good enough) is worrisome, to put it lightly, especially if one goes down injured.

My two ultra young potential superstars we should buy are Ryan Gravenberch, a superb 17yo CMF from Ajax and João Pedro, also 17yo, a CF/SS/Winger from Fluminense, who Watford have the rights to atm.

you are probably right, although IF we had that new stadium as bait, it would help (and tremendously raise our revenues) it was magnificent,would have been instantly my favourite on the planet
