Are we still not after the Portuguese fella? Think he will provide some reassurance if we move to a back 4.

Can see him getting the captain's armband. Will give our young players a player to look up to in Silva's absence.

For us. Barcelona are no closer to matching our offer (in terms of up front payment), and Xavi has been stressing to the Barcelona board they he prefers Dembele over Raphinha, to which they can't sign one or the other. (if they could resign Dembele, they'd of done it already).

Think there is confidence in the Raphinha deal.

What number?

There should be no worry with Raphinha. Just from watching him regularly you can see he is tailor made for Tuchel.

Lewa would be fantastic

Broja will join next week

I’m sorry, weren’t you the ones last week that told us to be patient?

Raphinha just playing games now.

Nice to know we’ll get Barca’s seconds (and I even doubt that’ll happen)

Who are City signing that is willing to stay on the bench?

Course not. Boehly is literally doing everything which again begs the question why Marina wasn't let go after the window.

It happened. Move on. Least we know the person responsible for it got sacked.

FFS let him kick a ball for us first 😂

This. People want us to integrate Colwill and have him develop, yet at the same time want a players like Kimpembe or Gvardiol who would both start the majority of the matches. Ake is a good squad player to have and it will allow Colwill to easily displace him should Colwill fulfill his potential.

Zinchenko and Walker never played CB for them last season, and Fernandinho only played over Ake as he was recovering from his injury from Brighton.

Ake isn't a fantastic signing but if it means we will see less of Sarr, I am for it. People are so quick to discredit him as a player but when the club that has run away with domestic titles in the past 5 seasons are gutted to see him leave, we aren't exactly picking up scraps here. He'll provide us experience in age and in the league. Not to worst thing in the world. Little risk here. However, only one person to point at if this somehow fails. Tuchel.

So I imagined Christensen being an absolute liability before Tuchel and Rudiger being nothing better than decent? Or the fact every single one of us wanted them out before Tuchel?

I think the strangest thing are people all of a sudden rating Christensen as if he was some baller before Tuchel. Think its evident now Tuchel can bring CBs to the next level.

Fabricating stories that the player only wants to join them and them only. That's fucking Rat behavior.
