For a millionth time, Conor will not play in pivot.

Yeah, I think they are having horrendous window. Mount and Onana (close) over 100m. I see zero improvement and apparently this is their whole budget. No CF, no balance in MF with Casemiro, Mount and Bruno. Onana and defense very average. About Mount I think it will be similar like here. His last 3 seasons in PL: 20/21 5 non penalty goals. 4 against 3 relegated teams. Only that goal against Liverpool which is his highest point in PL ever. 21/22 10 of 11 goals against 15th or lower. Only goal against higher team is WH and we lost that game. 22/23 just 3 PL goals. Bournemouth 15th place and Aston Villa under Gerrard sharing relegation place at that moment 17/18 place. Since Emery they become different team. So 2 goals in 3 PL seasons against top14 teams. Horrid stuff. Him being on the pitch 80% of time is pointless.

Basically players that were not with national teams in June are here. Others have more days or weeks of vacation. Except Casadei. He played U20 WC final 3 weeks ago but is here. Probably wants to impress Poch.

Has bigger salary than Mac Allister and Szoboszlai combined. And both are better players. Liverpool is smarter.

Our finances would not.

Didn't Brighton said they want Rice money for Caicedo? It will be the case like with Mount. United starts with one price we say other and meet in the middle. So could end up around 90m.

I think this new environment is dreamland for our stuff that came from Monaco, Brighton, Leipzig, Salzburg, Southampton... All of them are known for great scouting job, finding top talent across the globe... But there they didn't have resources to bring 10% of what they can do now. I mean, if Winstanley could find Caicedo in Ecuador imagine what they can do on Brazilian market now with all the money.

Bring this boy to the first team.

I dont know. He could not start in that France U21 team that Mudryk destroyed last night.

When I saw Lyon links I knew there is no chance he would accept to go there over Milan. Tbh he is too big for them. Also now seeing they have financial problems maybe we just put this news in media so Milan gets more serious.

You are right. The update I was looking at was previous one which mentioned clubs coefficient. But it is for 2 countries from last year like you said.

I believe Conor is not even option for double pivot in Poch 4231. He will play as backup AM. Enzo, Caicedo, new MF and Santos I think.

No. CL changes format so there will be 36 teams with 2 places being wild cards for 2 teams with highest UEFA coefficient last 5 years that did not qualified. So potentially we could finish 12th and got that place or finish 5th and not. Depends on European results. So yeah, based of our results last 5 years it is extremely likely we will play CL in 24/25 no matter where we finish in PL this coming season. So people saying they want top4 does not have much sense. I want to see philosophy, improvement on the pitch and good football with young players progressing.

If we want experienced striker I would rather go for Dybala on short term (while we wait for Jackson) who is available for just 12m euros over overpaying for Vlahovic, Lautaro, Oshimhen... Not classic striker but can play there and interchange. Good numbers too.

Mudryk is amazing.

Speaking of scouts great game in 20mins. EURO U21 QF: Ukraine:France. Mudryk finally starts, Ukraine won 7 points in group without him. France biggest favorites for title with Cherki, Thuram... England already in semis.

Chelsea scouts dont look older than 22.

We are in July and we don't have a sponsor. Crazy. But nothing new tho. Roma for example didn't have a couple seasons ago. And old Barca.

😂😂 Not that Son. Coach's son released from prison lol

Vieira did great with some young players before like Saint Maximin and Gallagher.

We have Chilwell, Cucurella, Hall and Maatsen and u still want new LB.

He never missed more than 6 games in a row due injury. Last knee/hip injuries in 20/21 season. Who is Saudis doctor?

Isn't a unwritten rule not to announce failed medicals so you don't destroy potential future move for a player?

How about James Corden?

By the look of it all Liverpool, Arsenal and United are going to continue with 3 midfielders but two attacking ones. Casemiro Bruno Mount Rice Havertz Odegaard Mac Allister Szoboszlai with one DM. I see them all being vulnerable defensively big time.
