To be fairly honest I would much rather have my full backs small, quick and technical vs broad and strong. Give me a Dani Alves type over an Ivanovic/Azpilicueta type any day. Especially with the way football is evolving.

FA Cup back as well.

Kante will be a miss for the City and Liverpool fixtures.

I wonder if the Tagliafico rumors are our own doing in an attempt to lower Chilwell's asking price.

What are the odds that for profit hospitals in the states are falsifying data on those that died of coronavirus, just so they get a higher payout?

Ban yourself

Are you implying picking Chilwell over Telles and Tagliafico is being more ambitious?

We will never be comfortably defensively until we upgrade our back line. That is with or without Kante in the side. Liverpool play with no real defensive minded midfielder? In terms of balance, I think it's pretty pretty evident that a midfield of Mount/Jorginho/Kovacic provided us everything we needed in midfield, particularly on a technical aspect. We have a holder, an attacker, and an aggressive dribbler. Kante only really comes into play when we are against sides that either have a better midfield than us or against sides that have a better attack. Other than that he has no real use in the starting XI.

Emerson, Pedro, Willian, Barkley, Batshuayi, and one of Christensen/Zouma need to be sold.

There are more chances of us spanking Bayern 0-4 at the Allianz than Spurs finishing above us. United is our only worry. However, we've been ahead of them since October and I put money on our side winning our remaining fixtures given how fresh our players will be. We saw it at the start of the season. Not to mention City's CL ban looks to be still on course to be held.

Realistic? Spurs have been consistently poor all season. They are 7 points behind, conceding more than a goal a game and have 4 tough fixtures waiting for them. To think they will leap frog us for Top 4 isn't being 'realistic', it's being irrationally pessimistic. Elaborate. Because from what I saw this season, our best football and most consistent period came when Kante was not even on the bench.

Spurs are 7 points behind and have United, Sheffield, Everton, Arsenal, and Leicester still to play. Not to mention they are conceding more than a goal a game. Their chances are 0. What a pessimistic bunch you lot are.

And we've performed better without him this season.

They still do

Sweet. We have Ruben, Pulisic, Kante, and a fully fit Tammy back.

Do not expect anything until it happens. Our club are masters of working under the radar

Their back line is Europa league standard. Wan-Bissaka only one noteworthy however he is appalling in the final third. Unless Leicester drop their asking price by about 50% no way will the board go for him and rightly so.

Yeah I've watched him several times for the national team. Good engine on him.

Again, maybe we have someone else in mind. Simon Philips hinted a big attacker signing on his podcast.

Their CB's and LB are still average.

By all means, let them spend their entire budget on him

Christ, how much of a head start were other clubs given this time? Another season where Bayern win. So boring.

I take it back, it wasn't his defensive attributes that bothered me, it was his overall ability on the ball. Particularly at full back.
