Yes, that is why Verratti and Jorginho are such shit. NOT SMDH You do realise that other than those two, almost none of the top Italians are playing abroad. So, present day (because that is what we are living in) who are all these giant flops (other than mental Mario Balotelli)? Zappacosta was brought in as backup, and as far as I am concerned, IF we sold Azpi or moved him to CB, and brought in a better RB, Zappa is adequate as a backup (he will not be here much longer anyway) You know who is overrated? REALLY overrated? 95+% of English players. Everton demanding £70-80m for Pickford! LOLOLOL Us paying £70m (when total wages fees, etc are factored in) for Drinkwater. Harry Maguire being valued at £65-70m. Eric Dier, Kieran Trippier, Jesse Lingard and Jordan Henderson, etc being described in British rags as 'world class'.

Barcelona seal signing of Toulouse defender Jean Clair Todibo He will pen a four year deal and arrive on a free transfer in June https://www.sport-english.com/en/news/barca/barcelona-seal-signing-of-toulouse-defender-jean-clair-todibo-7229253 Jean Clair Todibo will be a new Barcelona player at the end of the season. The club believe all the details have been sealed to sign the 19-year-old centre back from Toulouse on a free transfer. He will come on a four-year deal. Todibo will join the first team straight away in the summer and work with the squad for the full pre-season. However at the end of August his position will be evaluated. He is young and has lots of potential so Barca may want him to move on loan to get first team experience. The signing, is a choice by Eric Abidal and doesn’t exclude Barca from still searching for another centre-back who will go into the first team squad next season. <<<<<<<<< de Ligt snip The work of Barca sporting director <<<<<<< Eric Abidal was crucial in swaying the France Under-20 international. he has insane upside, like possibly Koulibaly/Umtiti/Varane level upside, and BARCA gets him ON A FREE

Chelsea appear to be close to making their worst mistake in years https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league/chelsea-appear-to-be-close-to-making-their-worst-mistake-in-years/ Chelsea have let so many top talents go in recent years, and another appears to be edging closer to the exit. Callum Hudson-Odoi is apparently increasingly likely to join Bayern Munich, according to Sky Germany, with the Blues – likely against their will – running out of options. However, the Blues need to consider just how much of a poor decision this would been. They’ve had great young players before, but it’s been a while since a youngster as talented as Callum Hudson-Odoi has been on the scene. The attacker looked right at home in the Chelsea squad over the summer, owing to his incredible pace, energy and dribbling, and given the poor form of Willian, in particular, it’s a travesty that he hasn’t had a proper chance this season. snip

Mexico is a huge market for footie, they are insane about it 130 million plus people if 5% of the populace bout 100 quid worth of official Lozano CFC gear that's £65m gross The top 15% of the country (so around 20 million people) earns over 50,000 USD per year and even the poor (well over half the pop) will, just like in South American countries, will buy sports gear

and another huge revenue maker (by far best Mexican footie player) so self funds to a point If we got him, and had also bought Alphonso Davies (Bayern bagged him, and he is sorta a CHO clone, same age, style of play, position) we would have the best players from USA Canada Mexico lololol North America on lockdown toss in Leon Bailey (on major discount due to poor form) from Jamaica and its the grand slam all wingers too, bizarrely

They were just crying about no money too, and in trouble with FFP. I SO hope this doesn't mean we are flat out buying Higuain 6 month loan is fine

JUVENTUS COOL THEIR INTEREST IN CHELSEA TARGET TONALI https://readchelsea.com/2019/01/04/juventus-cool-their-interest-in-chelsea-target-tonali/ Chelsea’s hopes of landing Italian youngster Sandro Tonali have been boosted with the news that Juventus are set to cool their interest.

Reiss Nelson too.

ahhhh oki

3 great young Serie A CB's we should be looking at. All three are 1.90m,, and all are great on the ball. The first two are ready to rock, get em before they are jacked up to £45m. Andersen is like a much stronger AC. Joachim Andersen Sampdoria Gianluca Mancini Atalanta Alessandro Bastoni Parma (on loan from Inter)

Aubameyang turns 30yo in 5 months, so a no go due to our contractual policy.

Well a wee bit goes to my wife's amateur team she sometimes plays on. Shoot me!!

Off the ball, without the ball (didn't say with the ball, although in the box with the ball he is a genius), he puts himself into great positions to score. He gets quiet at times because Inter service has not been consistently great, they have lacked a creative genius MFer for a while, but poor service also from their fullbacks, especially in 2016/17. They had João Cancelo last year, who was great, but they have once again had weak LB play, and this years RB, Sime Vrsaljko (as Cancelo left for Juve), has been injured a lot. Inter are my favourite Italian team, actually my favourite non-Chels team period, have been for ages, so it isnt like I am heartbroken if he stays there, but obviously would prefer him here, as Chelsea has 99.99% of my footballing heart. Werner would also be wonderful, do not get me wrong on that
