Vesper

Manure was the club I wager

lol, he has a HUGE head, like Bellerin

been around for ages and HELL NO, hard pass

2022-23 English FA Cup, Fourth Round Manchester City Arsenal https://www.mysocceraustralia.com/sports/2023/fa-cup-manchester-city-vs-arsenal-s1/

we should look into signing RB Sime Vrsaljko (he is a free agent) on a 6 month contract he only just turned 31 two weeks ago and he used to be a bomber of a RB

If I had the wings of a sparrow, If I had the arse of a crow, I’d fly over Tottenham tomorrow, and shit on those bastards below

we have done quite well in it at times I would rather have it than no Europe at all

HEY UEFA...................

I so hope he blows up HUGE he has insane potential and a super attitude

€60m (£52.5m) Real Madrid are not interested, it is Barca who want him to replace Sergio Busquets, but they cannot afford it atm Atletico Madrid do not use his type of deep holding playmaker none of the other La Liga teams can really afford him (or will not use that much of their budget at least) I think he would be a MONSTER in Serie A for the right side, and even though he is not a speed burner, he is certainly more athletic than Jorginho he would scare me at Arse, Citeh, and Pool, NUFC perhaps as well or ina pivot with Casemiro at Man U

£30m for Dumfries is a great price, and I will STFU about RB if we do this Dumfries is a weapon at RB/RWB he is a pressing machine and a tireless runner plus really big and EPL strong, will not be rag-doll bullied like so many fullbacks are (look at Telles in his short spell at Manure for instance)

oh, I would take Kone before Zubi hell, if he is only 35m quid or so he is an absolute steal compared to £80m to £100m (£100m is utter silly madness) Caicedo

Don't forget Manu Kone and Martín Zubimendi. Both are Chels quality IMHO

ANALYSIS | Chelsea’S PRIORITISATION OF MALO GUSTO OVER VANDERSON COULD BE A GLARING OVERSIGHT https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2023/analysis-chelseas-prioritisation-of-malo-gusto-over-vanderson-could-be-a-glaring-oversight/ For the second time this transfer window, Chelsea are turning to Ligue 1 in their search for a defender. The club have already signed AS Monaco’s Benoît Badiashile, and the early signs would suggest that transfer to be a good bit of business, especially considering the cost and experience of the French international. However, should they be returning to raid the Principality club again and sign Vanderson instead of Olympique Lyonnais’ Malo Gusto? It is clear that Gusto is Chelsea’s priority. The France U21 international would arrive at Stamford Bridge and find himself in competition for a starting spot with Reece James. That is no easy task and with the Englishman expected to return from injury in the coming weeks, Gusto could find gametime limited, despite the reported guarantees that he has received from the club. Gusto, unlike Vanderson, feels much more pigeonholed as a player. Possessing a unique set of abilities, Gusto is undoubtedly a right-wing-back, rather than a right-back, and his error proneness and questionable defensive positioning would leave him susceptible to being targeted by opposition defences should he play in a back four. The upside to Gusto is his offensive output. He is an adept crosser of the ball, and a creative presence in the attacking third, on the overlap rather than the underlap. He is also an aggressive defender, who likes to win the ball high, and create chances through dangerous turnovers, although this facet of his game can come to the detriment of the collective defensive effort at times. Whilst talented and brimming with potential, Gusto has the feel of a one-dimensional player, which can’t be said about Vanderon. The Brazilian arrived from Grêmio just one year ago but took no time to settle into life in Ligue 1. During his first six months at the Principality club, he scored two goals and registered three assists. However, Vanderson’s worth is not merely defined by a set of offensive statistics. His versatility is what makes him such an attractive option for any suitor. Like Gusto, Vanderson likes to play on the front foot and intercept in order to instigate attacks. However, the Brazilian is a more astute tackler, and also a better reader of the game, making him less prone to being caught out of position. Despite being just 5″10, Vanderson is also an aerial presence in the defensive third. This, coupled with his defensive intelligence gives him the potential to also play in a back-four, or even as a right-sided centre-back in a back-three. His versatility would potentially give him more inroads and opportunities to pierce into the starting eleven than Gusto. There is even, arguably, the chance of him playing in midfield. Vanderson is a brilliant progressor of the ball, but he is also great at receiving the ball and has this ubiquitous availability that alludes, potentially, to a future in midfield. Should his future lie there, he would have to become a more physical player than he currently is. However, such a trajectory wouldn’t be surprising, and it isn’t even unprecedented. Vanderson, Monaco’s number three, could follow in the footsteps of Fabinho, Les Monégasques’ former number three, who, having played at right-back for the Principality side, made a name for himself as a midfielder at Liverpool. Monaco manager Philippe Clement has previously said that tempering Vanderson’s high expectations of himself is a major part of the player’s development. The Belgian coach says that the Brazilian is a player that wants to see self-improvement on a daily basis, and who, if he could, “would train 18 hours a day.” Having such a mentality is important, and even a pre-requisite for a move to Chelsea, especially when considering the calibre of competition that he would be faced with. Vanderson isn’t Chelsea’s first choice or even a choice at all, but he certainly should be.

£80m is too much and £100m is insane we should just go for Manu Kone (£35m-45m max I wager)

both us Brits and the yanks use it like that I use it to taunt MAGAt Trumpers call their RW Rethug run US States shitholes (as Trump called black countries shitholes and the MAGAts started using it) where would you rather live? deep Republican-run Mississippi / Trumpy crazed West Virginia / Arkansas etc etc (crazy poor, non educated, buybull banging, violent, racist AF) OR Democratic run California / Washington State / Oregon / Massachusetts etc etc

not saying we should buy him, but that is REALLY harsh on Onana, who has beast potential

well, I always just said shitter (for the loo)

and Wolves are a shithole (my favourite yank slag-off atm, lolol) team

not saying we should spend insane money on Caicedo, but please do name all these players (and they have to be at least nominally available, so no Pedri, Gavi, Valverde, KImmich, Tchou, Camavinga, etc) Bellingham and Enzo and and Barella qualify, but all are more costly than Caicedo so they do not really count Martín Zubimendi is not really a similar player so.............. Manu Koné? Mac Callister? Matheus Nunes? Roméo Lavia? after those 4 I am starting to have trouble

Highly rated winger Julien Duranville joins Borussia Dortmund https://bvbbuzz.com/2023/01/27/highly-rated-winger-julien-duranville-joins-borussia-dortmund/ Borussia Dortmund have completed the signing of talented young winger Julien Duranville, who joins the club on a long-term contract. Borussia Dortmund have completed the signing of one of the most talented young wingers in Europe, with Julien Duranville joining the club from RSC Anderlecht. The 16 year old has signed a long-term contract with the Black and Yellows. According to reports, Borussia Dortmund will pay an initial transfer fee of 8.5 million euros plus around 3 million euros in add-ons for Duranville. The Belgian U-19s international underwent his medical tests and signed his contract yesterday, and will straight away be a part of the first-team squad. Julien Duranville is a product of Anderlecht’s youth academy, and made his first-team debut for the club soon after his 16th birthday. The winger also became the youngest goalscorer in Jupiler Pro League history in September. He suffered a muscle injury late last year, but is now closing in on his return to action. Borussia Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl believes that Julien Duranville has great potential, and their job now is to help integrate him into the first-team squad. Several big clubs were interested in signing Duranville from Anderlecht, but Borussia Dortmund won the race for his signature in the end. Duranville joins a Borussia Dortmund attack that already features a number of very talented young players, including Youssoufa Moukoko, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, and Gio Reyna. And it is no doubt a very exciting time for the club, with several youngsters playing a key role in the team.

I am all in for the Europa league spot it still generates a lot of cash and it gives us a decent shot at winning another major trophy next season (I have zero shame about winning it, it is not easy at all) and winning it is auto CL
