Someone should remind him he could've cost us the Champions League final as well when he showed upset Tuchel benched him against Madrid.

Think they just want more cash up front vs the 4 installments we proposed. Enzo all over again.

Havertz’s turn.

Thank god for Gusto.

If Mount felt any criticism from our fanbase he is in for a rude awakening at United.

City had a little versatility where Foden and B.Silva could play in midfield on top of Rodri, Gundogan, and KBD. Not sure if Enzo, Caicedo, and Santos is enough.

It isn't a coincidence why we are the only club speaking for Brighton. Not United, Liverpool, City, and Arsenal pulling out in the running. Matt Law this morning posted there is a belief clubs have inquired for Caicedo but he's had his mind up in joining Chelsea since May.

Think we will see Hall in midfield, Maatsen and Chilwell as fullbacks.

1. Lampard + Terry 2. Drogba 3. Osgood 4. Cech 5. Harris

That Sebestian bloke on twitter was crucifying Cucurella in a training clip where his defensive posture was all over the place, followed by a montage of clips of Cucurella getting absolutely skinned whilst playing for us and Brighton.

He's a player I am indifferent on. Not entirely convinced of his quality but if the recruitment team think they see something there by all means.

Think it was Romano that stated we wanted a CM (Caicedo) and a creative player (Cherki).

I think Thuram is most similar to Santos. The latter is being pretty highly entrusted by the recruitment team as being the 3rd midfield option.

What are we thinking? Kepa Gusto Fofana Silva Maatsen Santos Hall Sterling Carney Jackson Broja

Issue is that he makes far more progressive ball carrying runs than any central midfielder. As we've seen, this is good for counter attacking sides but not for sides that predominately see the ball. He's also not part of Nice's core players in the defensive transition, he ambles back whilst preparing for another counter attack. Although his ball winning attributes are pretty good, his defensive positioning isn't consistent, as he is always looking to get further forward. There is the argument if he can be coachable, but there is also the argument if his natural instincts get in the way for it to work, ala Kante. This is a very good analysis on him. Essentially, Thuram would require a lot of coaching (without much guarantee of success) whereas Caicedo would slot in easier.

Same fanbase that thought they were getting a midfield three of Enzo, Bellingham, and Caicdeo.

Feel sorry for Ramano given the constant pressure he gets on twitter from spastic fans asking for updates.

Thuram is far more adventurous in ball progression from what I've seen. The Kovacic shouts are spot on, and I would even say Thuram takes it up a level. Caicedo probably a more disciplined option for that pivot.

Onana is the only real alternative tbh profile wise. Real would be crazy to sell Tchouameni.
