They are defending themselves in front of their fans. Putting all pressure on Enzo so he will be the bad guy.

I remember people going crazy when we sacked him 😆

Enzo-Caicedo my dream MF.

It's happening!

Fuck, all good arguments. Benfica and money is not a problem. I'm only worried about convincing him.

I mean considering they have 40 of possible 45 points this is pretty clear.

Because no one wants to buy him.

Last time we had a player who scored more than 20 league goals was 13 seasons ago! And he reached that number in 15 rounds!

Cannot believe what I'm reading. It's like comparing prime Essien and Steve Sidwell. You also have to consider that with Rice is impossible to play attractive, offensive football. I mean do people really believe that if Mount and Rice are our 2 of 3 starting midfielders for next 5-10 years we can be successful? That team not only would not be able to fight for title but with the way some teams are progressing like Arsenal and Newcastle cannot see even reaching top4. And yes, Jorginho can absolutely unlock defence with one single pass.

Can't argue with that.

Badiashile not involved in Monaco win today.

His comment says more about Rice tbh.

@Johnnyeye You are Benfica fan, what does their media say?

Badiashile 35m Enzo 105m Juranovic around 10m Felix on loan Perfect transfer window we can do. With formation change Mount is back in midfield. Broja is out for a season. So we are a little bit short in attack. 5 players for 3 positions. Auba, Kai, Sterling, Pulisic and Ziyech. That's why we can try with Felix.

Tbh from Enzo perspective he should wait till summer. He is in a great position to win title with Benfica. In CL they finish 1st with Juve and PSG in the group. They have Brugge next so big favourites to go to last 8. Nobody beat Benfica this season. I'm not saying Porto 2004 but this season can be special for them. Why would he give up on that?

Have previous 3 players been successful for us? Different players. You can say they are both central midfielders but Enzo is closer to DM and Jude to AM.

U are right, sounds unrealistic. Nkunku and Badiashile also seems already done. If Gvardiol indeed is not available till 2024 we should leave it like this imo. I know many wont agree with me but I am fine with Kepa, Chilwell, Fofana, James, Kovacic, Havertz and Nkunku being starters in the years to come. I expect them all to perform at high level. Zero issues with Kepa last season and a half. I expect Fofana to explode when he is back. Lets hope Badiashile is a hit and we dont have injuries next season. Plus Silva extend one more year and continues to play at top level. Chalobah would be 4th choice. Slonina can take 2nd spot so for GK and defense we just need Reece backup which should be cheep. MF is biggest issue for me. One top DM and one top CM are priority! Caicedo from Brighton and Enzo and I would be over the moon. So these two with Reece backup is around 200m pounds. Leao will have one more year left on contract next summer so we should be able to reduce the price a lot. And because of money issues lets give up on Vlahovic and take Moukoko for free. We will raise some money from Mendy, KK, RLC, Pulisic, Ziyech. Shame we are losing Kante, Jorginho, Azpi for free. Auba should also be dump for free. A lot of guessing but this would be my choices.

Been voted best young player of the WC. Definitely among best Argentina players. Benfica is phenomenal this season. 28 games 23 wins 5 draws. League already wrapped and in CL top of the group with Juve and PSG. We need upgrade in MF more than other positions. If we already know Jude wants something else and many of us dont rate Rice at all we should do it. Jorginho and Kante are leaving for free most likely.

We paid over Nkunku release clause as well.

Honestly we have a solid chance. Utd have owners transition. Liverpool just spent on Gakpo and is in for Argentinian from Brighton who is cheaper. Barca is settled with world class young MFs. Real also have Tchoualmani, Camavinga and Valverde. Plus they are in for Jude. Make a full transition to 4231. Caicedo from Brighton and Enzo deep with Enzo having permission to go up. Nkunku in front. Vlahovic and Leao should be targets up top. We have Havertz, Sterling... Plenty of options to mix. VVD I heard played major role in bringing Gakpo. We need Kova to do the same with Gvardiol. We can also play 433 with Kova Enzo and Caicedo. That would be amazing MF if front 3 players score tons of goals.

Pavard contract is expiring in 18 months and he says he wants to try PL. Yes Dumfries is more exciting but we need someone who accepts backup role.

Super League doesn’t sound so bad now.

I know they have some injured players but when everyone is fit there will be unhappy players. Firmino, Salah, Jota, Diaz, Nunez, Gakpo even Carvalho.
