Vesper

His regression at Juve worries me though, but I do agree on the tall and strong part.

DDF is like being sold from what I can gather

Poll of the board: IF Nicolas Jackson is not going to be the main CF we buy this window, then between the two primary choices still on the board, which one do you prefer, and why? A: Lautaro Martínez B: Dušan Vlahović Note: Please do not put out names we simply are not going to pay the demanded price for, like Højlund (€100m) or Kolo Muani (€100m) or Osimhen (€180). Gonçalo Ramos (€80-90m) is likely in that category too, as he is too much of a risk for that type of cash IMHO. If we are talking €50-60m, then sure, he is a viable target. Ivan Toney is not an option (he maybe would have been my first choice, all things considered) atm due to his gambling ban. Really sucks, as next summer, we would be buying a player who turns 29yo in the winter of that season. This year was his last prime age (we would likely get 4 prime years) buying window for me. Finally, no, Kane, Mbappe (not even a true CF), and Julián Álvarez are NOT coming here, so let's end that silliness now.

it was not a tweet, it was my personal opinion

no, he is not

lol Spanish Barca dick sucking rumourmongers starting up with this bullshit again https://www.fichajes.net/noticias/Chelsea-vuelve-carga-raphinha-20230624.html

I can see that one

its a blank for me

no, that was my suggestion to the post I replied to

£55m + £5m add-ons, done deal

because we refused to meet RB price of €110m (which is also his summer 2024 buyout clause) we only went as high as €90m

my prediction is that most all of these (or close to it), will end up at Citeh or Real Madrid by summer 2025 or so Erling Haaland (will move to Real) Kylian Mbappé Vinicius Junior (Citeh or PSG IF Real gets Mbappe) Jude Bellingham (already there) Bukayo Saka Victor Osimhen Jamal Musiala Khvicha Kvaratskhelia Josko Gvardiol Alphonso Davies Achraf Hakimi plus Real will come hard for Reece James

Kone is more of a CMF type

Citeh have flux and positional issues (platers being played out of position) in their defence this summer their fullbacks are a mess (2 CBs playing there often), they are likely soon short (left footer needed, thus Gvardiol) at CB, and they have no true viable backup DMF as Kalvin Phillips was a bust (anotherCB, stimes was filling in) CBs Rúben Dias John Stones (but was being used in the MF often) Aymeric Laporte (likely will be sold) Taylor Harwood-Bellis (youth, may be sold) CB/Fullback hybrids Nathan Aké Manuel Akanji LBs Sergio Gómez (meh, not remotely good enough, likely sold) Benjamin Mendy (gone, will likely never play for them at all) RB being played as a LB João Cancelo (gone, will be sold) RBs Kyle Walker (gone, going to Bayern) Rico Lewis (18yo youth) DMFs Rodri Kalvin Phillips (bust, will likely be sold) Máximo Perrone (youth) Rice is a bit strange I admit but not Gvardiol and Hakimi and surely they are hunting for a left back as well (Real Madrid, their main competitors, needs both RB and LB as well) Nuno Mendes Alphonso Davies Alejandro Balde José Gayà Theo Hernández Federico Dimarco

they are vastly cheaper than Caicedo

https://www.football-espana.net/2023/06/22/valencias-asking-price-for-giorgi-mamardashvili-putting-off-prospective-buyers Valencia have been expecting first-choice goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili to depart this summer, with a number of clubs across Europe interested in signing the Georgian international. Los Che slapped a €25m asking price on Mamardashvili, who had an impressive 2022-23 season we are mad if we drop €75m (£65m) on Diogo Costa instead of £21.5m on Mamar

once you get past the WC or near WC fullbacks: Nuno Mendes Alphonso Davies Achraf Hakimi Trent Alexander-Arnold (shit defensively) Theo Hernández Andrew Robertson (turns 30yo this coming season) Jeremie Frimpong Alejandro Balde José Gayà João Cancelo (in crisis atm) Federico Dimarco Pedro Porro Ben White Benjamin Pavard Nahuel Molina Matty Cash I so wish we have have a go at (he can play both LB and RB) would much prefer him coming on than CuCu and would not cost a lot at all

no one here takes posts with no solid backing evidence and/or links seriously not having a go, just staying facts

yes!!!!!!

he used to be my number one remotely available winger want but he has been a shadow since that massive knee injury I need to see a great 2023/24 season from him before I get back on the hype train

I do not know anyone who thinks Onana is worth £65m he is not remotely that good

we started at 85m (which was insane) and came down from there I am fine with £60 to 65m (including all add-ons) we just said 58m + 7 add-ons just drop to 55m + 5m and get it come

Rasmus and Kolo are €100m each Kudus is an AMF, not a CF this sounds like a tier C source who is just plucking names from a hat

amazing we are getting almost £100m for two these 2 players, one in their last year, the other in 2nd to last., plus add in another last year player, Mount, who will make it over £150m
