Worked for Daily Mail, now working closely with Sky 🤣

Kounde replacement.

Simeu to Southampton confirmed. Chelsea gets 1,5m.

https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/man-city-kounde-transfer-news-19270079 City tried hard for him last summer. Monchi explained here why they rejected great offer. Kounde also said that he spoke to Pep. They also wanted KK. Ruben Dias was only a 3rd option and now player of the season.

If City, United, Chelsea, Spurs, Real and Barcelona are after you there has to be something?

Tchouameni and Kounde are great friends from Bordeaux days.

Guehi and Tomori cover most of the Kounde deal. And if Zouma is out we are in plus.

But I am surprised by this. All of our CBs can play RCB. Silva and Chris in the middle. And on the left we only used Rudi and Zouma who could leave now. But I am sure TT knows what he is doing.

But interesting that we open talks for him after Varane agreed deal with United. Maybe we were for him as well. Also after 70m euros for Kounde cannot see us dropping fortune on Haaland.

This is what I said 10 days ago so yeah, I am not concerned about height. Also I expect him to play only RCB in this formation. So he will share minutes with Azpi. Not sure what will happen to James tho?

Hope we win there again in 2025 final with CHO, Kai and Werner scoring.

But White is also a lot more expensive than 4 times CL winner, 3 times LaLiga winner and World Cup champion. Barella was amazing in Cagliari and Locatelli is now great for Sassuolo but Rice will cost more than both! That is mental! English tax is crazy! Great that we have academy who could always provide us with 5,6 squad players at least. Because alternative is paying hundreds of millions for average players...

Christian Poulsen and some random dude from Romania. Michy could join them with the move to Italy.

Third player ever to play in all top5 leagues.

Cant wait for Kepa to concede a goal in Carabao Cup for people to say he should be number 2 😆

7 PL games in his career. 20 goals conceded. But does not matter, like others said, dont expect to see him play for us.

There you go. Hopefully this will make happy moaners about lack of activity. Also how come The Athletic is so reliable about English football since they are American outlet?

Last season we had 3 keepers playing.

League 2 last season now League 1.

But some of the comments are like today is 1st September. We will sign players! And we are only interested in top, expensive players. EURO just happened. Tuchel wanted to see some players in pre season before making decisions. We need to sell players also. Many reasons why nothing happened. City, Liverpool, Bayern, Juventus, Inter also signed no one. I am totally relaxed. Our transfers since sacking Conte have been great and Marina is perfect! City also want only Kane and Grealish. Deals like that don't happen overnight.

I expect Havertz to score 40+goals next season.

Crazy that Vlahovic last night in 35 mins scored more goals than any Chelsea player in 38 games full season 😂
