It’s not as if he was a bad player. Bloke won the league with Leicester and his interest in football vanished.

Mount and James are separate from the rest given their mental aptitude. They’ve always had it and no surprise they are starters/regulars.

Summer clear out they said. More like youth clear out.

Whilst Rice certainly isn’t most of our 1st choice, he is premier league proven. So he can make an immediate impact. Just weird how apparently both the club and Tuchel identify him as the CM priority.

The former. Id like to think this would benefit both parties.

Think we could potentially throw in Barkley too

Declan Rice rejected West Hams’ third contract offer. Player wants to be aware of any bids made for him. West Ham may consider a bid over 60 million - Matt Law

Strange. He gets a look but not Livarmento?

What’s the latest on Sterling? I remember he was injured for a year, but seemed to be in and out of the U23 squad last season?

He has his own running motion on FIFA 22 🙂

Both Billy and Bate would attribute a balanced midfield. One advancer and one sitter. Based on attributes, Gilmour has qualities similar to Jorginho. I personally don’t think Gilmour is getting in the way. Different roles within the midfield.

It’s actually Kovacic in my opinion. Our system has two roles in midfield. Advancer and sitter. Advancers are Kovacic and Kante and the sitters are Jorginho and Gilmour. Bate is a player that dribbles in transition similar to Kovacic that allows him in advanced positions. It’s no surprised we had so many holes in midfield under Lampard because either Kante (an advancer) was a lone DM and/or we had a pivot of two advancers (Kante + Kovacic). The Bayern game a prime example of how unbalanced it is.

See post above.

Since Tuchel has been appointed, only City managed more points than us (7). Our attackers should do better this time around. Add the fact neither Liverpool, United, or City are adding quality at ST, our competitors are standing still. (United won’t challenge anything with Ole).

As things stand we should be contending for both the league and CL.

I do find it interesting there are still mumblings that we are preparing a 150 million bid.

MARCA claiming we want to offload Werner for Haaland. Someone check on @Jas

That was for a film I believe and nothing came of it. I was talking more about what he did when he taught acting at Uni, and how Seth Rogan completely turned his back on James.

That’s not what happened with James Franco.

We’ll regret this more than Lamptey I reckon.

I just don’t really understand why Tuchel wouldn’t give him a shot, especially at the risk of losing him. He’s played with the first team since Tuchel’s appointment and won our YPOTY. Rotating between him and James could be an ideal solution in a position that is hardly a pressing matter.

Will be absolutely criminal from Tuchel to not get Ali arms to involved. Edit. Livarmento. Left the typo in there just to show how awful Apple iPhone autocorrect is.

Yes. These lot are Messi in comparison to Bakayoko in terms of technical quality. tchouameni and boubacar

The French CM’s we’ve been linked with are all quality.
