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.

Just remember it could always be worse. United are about to spend almost 60m on a 5'9 CB.

Would be nice if there was some clarity if Tuchel intends on using a 4 at the back this season or strictly 5 and on the occasional 4. Sadly I think Colwill is gone.

Emerson as backup. Joy.

I used to think he had a chip on his shoulder but after actually reading what he's been through growing up I understand.

I personally don't understand what people see in Leao or his qualities that can translate to the Prem.

Koulibaly in London right now completely medical - Law

Chelsea up their bid to 80 million which is accepted, but the player is waiting on Barcelona.....

Let's all remember this is simply under the assumption of Romano. We have no idea what Tuchel/the Club will do, and even more so if Colwill plays Saturday and immediately impresses.

I know Romano is reporting it but lets see what happens in the next couple weeks after he's played a few games.

Spirit of Marina lives on.
