I think they will both start. Also Pedro and Kovacic. CHO and James are not ready yet unfortunately. Emerson is in doubt so get ready for watching Alonso and Azpilicueta as full backs.

When was the last time we signed top free agent? It's Ballack 13 years ago. I think Tammy and Emerson will be great this season but still we need to get rid of Alonso, Giroud, Michy. How about we go for Cavani and Rafael Guerrero. They are both available for free next summer. So we upgrade on those positions and plus get money

Shocking. I don't know what is Azpi being asked to play but his contribution is attack is non existent and also we conceded a lot of goals because of him. If you think scoring own goals, giving penalties away is fine then yes Zouma is fine. Him and Azpi are at fault for almost all goals we conceded this season. And about Willian don't know what to say. From his Sheffield cameo I remember giving the ball away every time he had possession with misplaced passes.

He definitely will!

At the moment Trent is English best offensive RB. So it makes sense to play him against Kosovo (country not recognised by 93 countries of United Nations). AWB is by far best in defence. You also have Walker and Trippier so it's way to early for James. Btw Maguire is nowhere near worth his price.

CR#7 with 4 goals tonight! Very close to hundred international goals.

Hmm... We are linked with players in every other position except GK and midfielder. And if you read this thread you can see everyone speaking about CB, LB, RB, wingers and strikers. Majority of us are happy with Kante, Jorginho, RLC, Kovacic, Mount and Barkley as bench option. What type of midfielder you think we need?

Plus Higuain/Morata

Piatek salary at Milan is 1.8m euros. Romagnoli 3.5m. We can double or triple that easily.

Looks like stadium situation is turn off for buyers also

We need new stadium ASAP!

BTTS is very safe bet for our games.

If true we are late one year. But still Milan is very low now. Should not be a problem to take best players from them. We sent Van Ginkel, Bakayoko, Pasalic on loan there over the years which shows you where is Milan in European football. This season I think they won't finish top6 in Seria A.

I'm compering Mane's two seasons in Southampton with Zaha's last two seasons in Palace. Mane 21 goals and 9 assists =30 Zaha 19 goals and 8 assists =27 Similar level of clubs. Zaha could benefit from playing in bigger team with better team mates. With CHO and Pulisic we definitely need some more experienced winger. Of course I'd rather have Sancho here but if we are really after Zaha I'm just trying to look as positive as possible.

Can we all agree that Kalou and Malouda were better players for us?

I'm not sold on Zaha yet but what gives me hope is that Mane had very similar stats in Southampton.

I think Courtois, Hazard and CHO situation made our board do things differently.

If we can buy in January I also think we will go for Zaha. And he would probably force the transfer. I'm not saying we should do it.

New contract it is Mutu paid as millions for cocaine use?

Exactly, if you take away City and Bournemouth where we conceded 25% of our goals last season we had very solid defence. And it's weird because Alonso and Luiz played majority of games.

Not first incident. Had drunk driving in April. Don't know if he's more failure as footballer or human being. He's married right?

Watford sacked Gracia. And some wanted him here

Giving Etoo and 50+m for Ibra was very bad decision by Barca.

I agree. If Tammy comes good we need another striker with different characteristics like Belotti or Werner. Dembele is similar to Abraham.
