Just when you thought he couldn’t say anything more stupid.

Think the 4231 is Lampard’s preferred lineup. Can see Ziyech at CAM with CHO on the right.

60 million for Chilwell. Bloody hell. We’ll see him get cut in over and over again and the club will scratch their heads wondering why the fuck they got him. I pray this is still speculation.

Newcastle won’t be ‘dangerous’ until 4 or 5 years time. And this is giving them the benefit of the doubt (quality manager, scouting network, director of football) The way the market is, it’s going to take them a while to create a quality side. It took City 4 years to win something. The best we can do is to keep hold of the vision we started with Sarri. Progressive football. Hopefully with Cech, our transfer policy is a bit more consistent and the players identified match the philosophy at the club. Mix this together with having the best youth academy in the country, we have nothing to worry about long term.

The move makes sense if Barkley is being shipped out. Which he isn’t unless it’s a loan or a club is stupid enough to match his wages.

And he preferred Liverpool.

So what players exactly have we missed out on that Marina is held responsible? Arsenal had a deal struck with Leno before the World Cup even started, whereas we just finished winning the FA cup. You are being pretty critical to suggest the board are fools for not anticipating Courtois to go AWOL when they were doing everything they could to have him extend. Clubs knew we were desperate, hence them having all the bargaining power. Were you this critical of Kepa last season when he came third in clean sheets? Conte in 2017 - “For me, the midfielders are very important because I need midfielders with specific characteristics. Danny has those.” Conte also stated how he wanted to directly replace Matic with Bakayoko by easily transitioning him. This took a 2 minute google search.

Ah yes, blame Marina. A lady who has virtually no say on who we target based on her job description, yet it’s apparently the cool thing to think she does. Allison wanted Liverpool. Leno joined Arsenal before Courtois pulled his stunt. Other than that, virtually none of those keepers are better than Kepa or are the long term. Out of his own mouth, Conte said they were his targets. Danny fucking Drinkwater

Lampard isn’t bloody stupid. 80 million makes Chilwell look bang average. He even looks more average when you realise a superior player is available for less than half of that amount. Journals love linking us to English/domestic players but how many of them actually came to fruition?

Kepa we were forced and had no other alternatives and Drinkayoko were Conte’s targets. If Telles is available for 25 million and Chilwell 80 million, you genuinely think Lampard and the board will push for the latter? Even after Lampard made it evidentially clear we need to strengthen in attack desperately?

From what I’ve see so far I’m fairly certain our board won’t pay that ridiculous amount for Ben Bloody Chilwell.

If he’s happy and contempt to stay whilst being downgraded to a tactical player then by all means keep him. Moving forward, he should only be on the team sheet if the opposition has a better attack+Midfield than us. And used correctly

Stop with the Fifa 20 career mode transfers nonsense.

Looking at restarting the league mid June or early July. Matches to be played behind closed doors. Going to be so weird.

More of a system issue than position issue actually

He’d flourish in Italy

No. Kepa is fine.

Lautaro’s agent confirmed Chelsea link

I thought the same until I’ve witnessed the countless individual errors he’s made this season. Genuinely think he’s made the most errors out of our CB’s

None. Everything points to him being their successor

Bernie dropped out. I am so surprised...

The bitterness towards one of our own is truly amazing

You can only hope with Sancho at a rival club will motivate CHO to work harder. Gutted but those figures are ridiculous and we need a rebuild. Ziyech, Telles, a CB a RW and a ST and I think we are capable of competing. Especially if they are invested effectively as the former 2 (should we pull Telles off)

Who’s going to match Barkley’s wages? You make it seem selling him will be easy.
