Any update on his foot injury?

Not the profile Tuchel wants. He wants instinctive attackers that take players on. Asensio just injury prone now too.

These complete midfielders are hard to come by nowadays. Matheus Nunes imo is perfect for the pivot imo.

MDL and Gvaridol aren't happening. If given the option I'd lean towards Kounde as he is a more composed figure on the ball (when put under pressure). Not to mention if you look at his ball carries its almost identical, if not better, than Rudiger's.

Should really be Kounde if Tuchel wants that CB to drive forward with the ball (ala Rudiger). Kounde Silva Koulibaly Chalobah Koulibaly Colwill

When he gives Sarr the 'match ball'. 😂

I very much like the Nunes lad. Wouldn't' cost a fortune either.

So 7 players for one position?

So where are CHO and Pulisic? Or Mount for that matter?

A glaring obvious issue and its worrying me its not being addressed.

I want you to be right, but I just don't see it. Looks like a player that struggles in close proximities.

There is no way you can tell me Rudiger and Christensen are better than Koulibaly and Kimpembe. I swear some people have recency bias when it comes to the former two. We wanted them gone before Tuchel.

No, he's not. A 37 year old Quagliarella looked good in Seria A and won the bloody golden boot.

Our midfield is too lightweight imo. Need a presence in midfield.

Leao will be the definition of a panic buy. Watching 5 seconds of him and you can see he wouldn't survive in the Prem.

Don't think we were ever interested. Think Tuchel wants a midfielder with Defensive capabilities + Offensive.

Not good enough to what, compete the for the title? That was never the goal. The goal is to finish comfortably in the Top 4, win a trophy and go hard in the Champions League. There is no one available that can improve our attack. I do agree we need to bring in an extra body in midfield.

Assuming we get the alleged targets in, we do have enough for formation rotation. (still think we need one defensive CM) Mendy Koulibaly Silva Kimpembe James Jorginho Kovacic Chilwell Mount Sterling Havertz Mendy James Koulibaly Kimpembe Chilwell Kante Kovacic Gallagher CHO Pulisic Werner/Broja

Think so.

Wait until next summer.

He’s setting up a very strong unit that’s good in knockout competitions.

Anyone else get the feeling Tuchel is preparing us more for the Champions League instead of the league?

Romano guesswork

Kante + Kovacic never works unfortunately. Has to be Jorginho + one another. This also leave Gallagher out.

Despite Chelsea's request: Gnabry prefers FC Bayern Chelsea FC recently knocked on Gnabry's door and expressed interest . Rumors that this step would never be imaginable due to his past at Arsenal are not true. This London rivalry would not be an impediment. But Gnabry prefers - as of now - a long-term future at Bayern. Knowing full well that it is probably the biggest contract of his career for him in his prime as a footballer. And even a career end in Munich is conceivable.
