Did you read the article? It said we'd be going for de Ligt, Kounde, and Ake. Kounde and Ake can provide us options at CB at full/wing backs. De Ligt would be the Rudiger replacement.

Kovacic Kante pivot has hardly ever worked.

We’d get 10+ years of quality with de Ligt. How much for Koulibaly? 3 if we are lucky?

Just need a hard working midfield to complement the attacking/creative prowess of James, Chilwell, Sterling, Raphinha, and Havertz.

We'll see. At this point simply securing a signing will be a surprise. Chelsea and Leeds have reached full agreement for Raphinha! Official bid accepted around £60/65m [add ons included]. Main part of amount to be paid immediately. It’s done between clubs. 🚨🔵 #CFC Talks now ongoing on player side on personal terms and contract.

Not personal terms

He has no other option unless he stays at Leeds. Arsenal can't afford him and Barcelona are in the shitter. Tie him to a long term deal too so Barcelona aren't sniffing around later.

I don't expect it right away but I wouldn't be surprised to see Tuchel transition to it. There is virtually no way Sterling, Raphinha, and Mount are not on the pitch together for the majority of our fixtures.

No one is asking Mount to be our #6. Having Sterling and Raphinha in attack would put Mount back to his natural position as the advanced midfielder in a midfield 3. This would allow Chalobah + Colwill to rotate with Silva, not to mention we will have TWO deadly flanks with James + Raphinha and Chilwell + Sterling.

I would just to get Mount out of the attacking three and into midfield.

Raphinha specifically said he doesn't want to play wingback according to Deco. He'd be brought as an attacker.

They know we are desperate for CBs so they will charge over the odds.

I don't fucking get it. Romano said Juve were willing to do cash + Werner, what the fuck changed? Why is this bollocks only happening to us?

Her reputation is now tarnished after the Dembele ordeal.

Honestly it's become rather pathetic and tedious how one day it looks as if we are close to securing a signing, when only the next day we see reports that completely contradict the initial one and that we haven't even fucking approached the player yet. Fully expecting tomorrow there to be reports that we never actually made a bid for Sterling yet.

Any truth that he was a Chelsea fan growing up?

Like many of us said, it was a sackable offense.

Lot of reports suggesting we may sign both Sterling and de Ligt this week. The Athletic claiming the Sterling deal is done and we are apparently 10m away or so from meeting Juve's valuation on de Ligt.

For £15m I'd take a gamble. Evident we need another holding midfielder this season, unless we want to take our chances with Ampadu/Gilmour.

Gordon is Everton's golden boy. No way they sell.

Jonathan Clauss, Attila Szalai, & Adrien Rabiot. That's roughly £45-60m

Which hasn't been officially presented yet. So who knows.

Still. That is some very good work. Still haven't seen any dead giveaway its fake.

Photoshop?

There isn't anything concrete linking us to Richarlison though. Only Spurs. Which makes me think they are leaking info to edge Spurs into signing him. Dembele can fuck off at this point. Give me Sterling + Broja.
