Another perennial Chelsea loanee who has about as much chance of playing for them as my cat, and I don’t even have a cat, Jose Mourinho’s second to last Chelsea signing was Michael Hector. I still would like to see Baba get a swing at Sarriball, he seems to be in that mould. Plus he is used to wearing blue.

Everything I have seen from Ampadu tells me he is ready to go now, this year, at top flight football. I would have very little worries if he was starting an EPL game or a Euro league games for us. He has FAR more in concentration level than Luiz, the CB disaster waiting to happen. A TRUE shame CHO is not a natural RW as I do not rate Willian unless we are talking up his value in that goddamn failed swap for Martial or the stupid move to not accept £65m from Barca for him, and then buy Malcom (who only cost Barca £37m) or went truly big and snatched up Bailey) nor can Pedro go for 50 games at his age. CHO could surely grab more minutes that way (as a RW). I would even try to run him as false nine or a straight up striker, as he has often played there in lower comps.

Fiorentina prodigy Nikola Milenkovic can't avoid Nemanja Vidic comparisons http://www.espn.co.uk/football/club/fiorentina/109/blog/post/3616051/fiorentina-prodigy-nikola-milenkovic-cant-avoid-nemanja-vidic-comparisons The new Serie A season had only just started, but one of its greatest goals has already been scored. On Sunday, centre-back Nikola Milenkovic sent an unstoppable long-range effort into the top corner to open the scoring as Fiorentina thrashed Chievo 6-1 -- his first ever goal from outside the area. For many defenders that would have been a career highlight, but for the 20-year-old Serbia international it is likely to be a mere footnote in the tale of his meteoric rise to greatness. A couple of years ago, Milenkovic used to take several buses each day in order to train with the Partizan Belgrade reserves. Now, he is a star in Serie A and coming off a superb World Cup from a personal point of view. Atletico Madrid and Juventus are reported to be interested in signing him and not for nothing is Milenkovic compared to former Manchester United legend Nemanja Vidic, one of Serbia's best central defenders of all time. Such a parallel was first made by Ivan Tomic, who was promoted to Partizan coach in December 2015 and immediately told the club to give Milenkovic a professional contract. The lanky centre-back wasn't considered a top prospect with the Partizan reserves until then, but Tomic -- a former Roma and Alaves midfielder who also used to serve as the club's sporting director -- has a good eye for young players. "Milenkovic has [the] physical characteristics of a beast. He reads the game well, plays the ball, and should have a great career ahead of him," Tomic has said of Milenkovic, privately predicting his protege would soon be worth at least €30 million. snip I mentioned him in the post below (I screenshotted the part), He is huge (legit 1.95m) The 2nd pic is him defending against Bryan Cristante (then of Atalanta, now at Roma on loan, and a damn good young Italian MF too, btw, miles better than Vecino) Cristante is 1.86m (3cm taller than me) to give you an idea snapshot from that post:

Sarri is not a fan of rotation unless he has to. Sarri obviously highly rates some players who most of us think are absolute dross. Willian and Luiz and Morata (less so on the Sarri positive rate level for Morata,, but its not like we have a great plan B at striker) at the top of that list. He also doesn't seem to rate some, such as (gggrrrrr) AC (wtf, there is ZERO chance Luiz is a better CB than AC is now, ZERO, on this one thing I will not back down from), Emerson (Alonso has played great, so I am not exactly pissed off), CHO, Ampadu Bats (which i cannot wrap my head around, but many here don't like him) Zappacosta, and then the correctly not rated (and should have been sold) Drinkwater, RLC (should be on loan), Moses, Cahill; Fabregas, Musonda (what a disappointment he has been) and Abraham (ditto, hugely underwhelming).

RLC should have followed Baba on loan to Schalke 04. He could be starting for a Champions League team with INSANE and huge fanbase (Revierderby with Borussia Dortmund is one of the most intense in world), in a great league, and with a superb developmental reputation. Domenico Tedesco is an amazing young manager. The have had huge player turnover too this year, so RLC would have had a great chance for playing time as a starter. Thilo should have been OURS!! Marina pissing around with the goddamn Italians over Rugani, who Juve were never going to sell. Not having either of those ranks for me up there (as LUIZ IS SHIT) with no Bailey or Malcom and not selling/swapping Willian for Martial (or buying him outright)

FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK, I missed that! The best, even remotely available for Jan (or far more likely next summer) options left are (in order) Sergi Roberto but would take insane money or maybe a reduced Willian swap involved Elseid Hysaj (he really wants to come here, and I think would fight dwarf-cunt De L on it) Nélson Semedo (If a fail on Sergi) Djibril Sidibé (now that they have Heinrichs they have FIVE RB's!!) Davide Calabria or Andrea Conti (not exactly thrilling me, on either, wish Calabria was as tall as Conti) Wild card, Jeremy Toljan, who has crashed out at Borussia Dortmund, for many reasons, but COULD maybe flourish in Sarriball finally the Pavard option, which I would love to get him in, primarily as a CB, but would be a great RB sub too Funny fact, Azpi, then 33 yo Valencia from Manure,and maybe 35 yo Alves from PSG (mayyybe Juanfran, 33 from AM, but his days are numbered) are the ONLY over 28 years old RB's in the world who are remotely good still. Talk about an age gap, wow

Oh, indeed.

maybe, and for sure there are better options out there, hopefully he comes good at Torino

£35m with a buyback clause

Unless we upgrade from Azi and/or Zappa at RB (and switch Azpi over to CB again, which I TOTALLY agree with, as then we could have dumped shit Luiz and Cahill, plus we so fucked up not signing Rugani or Thilo Kehrer or even more germane, Benjamin Pavard, who can play BOTH CB and RB, like Azpi) which only means these players (those in red I rate over Azpi too, not just Zappacosta, those in green have higher upside than Zappa, but maybe not quite there yet): Joshua Kimmich (zero chance) Sergi Roberto I so so want him, perfect for a RB in Sarriball, so pissed we failed last 3 windows, surely we can work out something in January or next summer, as they have Nélson Semedo there too (who I rate too) Kyle Walker (zero chance) Trent Alexander-Arnold (zero chance, and soon will be better than Azpi, he be best RB in the EPL in 2,3 years) Elseid Hysaj (Dwarf-Cunt De Laurentiis is trying to put a perm Chelsea block into his contract, but he is refusing, he wants to come here) João Cancelo (another perfect RB for Sarriball, but almost zero chance, he has look amazing for Juve so far) Daniel Carvajal (slim chance, BUT they did sign Álvaro Odriozola, who I rate highly, so not impossible. I would rather have Odriozola, tbh.as he is far younger and has massive massive upside These are the others I would want off Real far over Carvajal , including a perm move for Kovacic (the rest, in order, Raphaël Varane (impossible unless Eden is involved), Kroos (never will happen), Marco Asensio, Isco, Vinícius Júnior) Sime Vrsaljko (another miss by the board, perfect for Sarriball) Djibril Sidibé (shocked he is still at Monaco) Ricardo Pereira (Leicester got a bargain) Benjamin Henrichs (great young player, is not happy at Bayer Leverkusen) Nordi Mukiele (same as Heinrichs, and we lost out as RB Leipzig stole him for only £14m) Davide Calabria (Milan have Andrea Conti at RB too, so wouldn't be impossible to get him) THEN why would we sell Zappacosta? That leaves us no RB backup. I agree with rest these need to be decided on next year Marco van Ginkel (after he heals from horrid knee injury, sell him to PSV) Bats (IF we simply will never use him, makes zero sense to keep him if we will never let him play) Tammy Abraham (or loan him out) I dont rate him Ruben Loftus-Cheek (if he doesn't come good this year, OR, loan him out, we should have loaned him to Schalke this summer!!, so pissed) the following SHOULD HAVE BEEN SOLD THIS SUMMER Danny Drinkwater (WTF!!, every time I type his name I get more incensed) Cahill (so stupid to not sell to the 5,6 teams who enquired, it was the Rugani nightmare that kept him here) Luiz sorry, he is shit, I will never rate him, ever, he sucks defensively, he is my 4th least favourite player on the team, after Drinkwater, Cahill, Willian, (Willian just because we lost out on £65m and/or Martial for him, AND he is now 30. I do not dislike him as player (although he is overrated) or a person, I just think we should have taken max money, and refreshed with Malcom or Bailey, plus Martial would explode as our number 9, I am so convinced of this, Mo didnt even include him ON THE BENCH against Spuds, what a wasted opportunity we fucked up on!!!!) Cesc Fàbregas (next year he is a completely spent force, we lost market value on him now, we could have moved for one of 3 much younger (10,11 years younger), very similar players in Carlos Soler or Nicolò Barella or Amadou Haidara <<< my favourite, I rate him MASSIVELY, but the other 2 would be superb signings too, albeit more quid) Victor Moses (useless in Sariball, should have cashed in on his WC marginal glory) Willian (again we all know this cock up, (twice, Barca at £65m or swap for Martial, I am slowly getting over it, Morata having a big year will so help that)

The reason I am so hostile to these geordie cunts isnt their flat back 10 all defence no offence bus park, IT IS THAT THEY ARE DANGEROUS PLAY THUG GOON TWATS

Rudiger has to play both sides of CB, to make up.

Luiz has to be replaced by AC as starter.

No.

Thread winner!!

Yesssssss!!!!!

Luiz ballwatching. Horrid.

Fuckkkkkk.

Would love to see Barkley score.

Motherfucking GOONS!!!!

I wonder how Bats would do in a scrum like this.

Ghosts of Tony 'The thought of starting 10 CB's makes my pronger hard' Pulis to this one so far.

Diame is a fucking thug.

Yep. KOVA
