“Option to buy @ specified price”

Marina probably took into account his market value. That and the player is pushing for the move.

PSG publicly stated they don't want to lose Mbappe on a free. There's also reports Liverpool are strongly interested.

It does give 2014/2015 vibes. A victory this weekend will definitely create a lot of optimism.

Saul and Kante pair would be very, very strong.

Please tell me you don't believe that. Clear as day it was Willian and now it just gives further proof.

He gets back to form he'd displace Kovacic easily.

Kante's hamstrings need to be managed. So he will be rotated heavily. That leaves only Kovacic and Jorginho to be relied on for the duration of the season. Saul is needed. I don't think rotation will be an issue.

It'll be loan with option. With Pepe, Luiz + Willian, and on top of the other ridiculous transfers that led to nothing, how does Edu still have his job?

We've already seen signs with some of his performances and diabolical passing. Jorginho also continued to start after those performances such as West Brom and Arsenal because he is the only holder we have that creates a balanced midfield. Tuchel doesn't have much of a choice. I love what Jorginho offers but I would be god damned if we go into the season knowing he is our only holding midfielder.

You can see the complacency in his game at times. Be it being overplayed or lack of urgency given he knows he will always start.

It is tricky. - I'd opt for Chilwell because we will need pace against Salah and TAA. - Werner is a must. - I'd also add Lukaku to battle VVD. - Havertz/Mount's trickier by dropping in midfield and having free roles caused Arsenal so many problems. I'd opt for one of them and if we are in need of a goal bring on Ziyech/Pulisic.

Yesterday showed yet again why relying solely on Jorginho as the holder would be a mistake. He was very leggy and defensively just poor. Giving him unlimited minutes with no real competition for him will have us see more of last season's West Brom and Arsenal performances where he literally gifts goals.

I'd rather Pulisic who can actually take players on.

Werner should be no where near the small sides and their low block. It should be Pulisic/Lukaku/Ziyech.

Kounde/Christensen/Rudiger/Dave/Silva/Chalobah Not bad.

We should have an idea early October.

Januzaj hype.

I did say Havertz is developing his game to a point where we could possibly see Mount less. I’d go Werner/Lukaku/Havertz against Liverpool.

Think we’ve been poor tbh

All too fucking familiar this.

First name on the team sheet for me. I’m hoping Klopp continues the high line.

The mystery is why Lampard all of a sudden fazed him out after heavily relying on him for two seasons.

Christ almighty Norwich.

Let’s not pretend Ben White won’t turn into prime Maldini tomorrow. Let’s not pretend Arsenal won’t turn into peak 2004 Arsenal tomorrow. Same shit, different season. Our players need to be up for it because if we don’t match their intensity like the last 3 matches against them, game is over at kick off.
