King Kante

Italian football may suit him.

To be fair, City are also normally discreet so I don't think we would know. Furthermore, I am not sure Haaland is a Pep type player, I could see him wanting Kane more.

SP knows feck all.

Cannot see Ziyech lasting tbh. CHO also doesn't look like he has much of a chance bar RWB.

Kind of a shame, he was handy to have as a 3rd choice as he gave you an option if things went to penalties.

More importantly don't forget the ✅

Falk has lost the plot recently, I rank his opinions these days at about the same as I do those found in the Daily Sport.

Telegraph reporting that we're serious about Håland. Cannot see it to be honest.

I actually enjoy watch American Football, it is super tactical. I agree there are a lot of things that are far from ideal with it, for instance a Running Back has a average career span of 2.5 years, but it is a good sport once you can appreciate the nuances of it.

How much will we get? £5-£10m?

Be a buy to loan, surely?

Well if Tammy does get sold and we are serious about Håland but cannot get him until next Summer, I don't think Silva at €35m (his reported buyout) is a bad idea. I mean no, he isn't world class, but I think he would be 'ok' and if we could get Håland the following year he would either be a very good CF2 or we could sell him for a similar amount to his buyout this year (so long as he doesn't bomb.)

In AM we have: Mount, Puli, Havertz, Ziyech, CHO and Werner (he can play LWF) At the moment we have too many numbers here. If we could find buyers for both Ziyech and CHO then maybe we would be but we cannot continuously add to the squad in areas we are stacked. I mean we also have Dross Barkley and RLC on loan who both can play there as well. Zouma is one of the few players who if we sold wouldn't cause many issues with our squad but at the same time would bring in decent money as a number of clubs would want him. What needs to be remembered is that we have some serious dregs like: Drinky, Baka, Batsh*t, RLC, Barkley, Kepa, Baba etc Who are on serious dollar and cannot be sold owing to their contracts. Those players need to be paid for somehow.

If he has a good Euros he should get a decent loan. Personally, I would be tempted to send him to Spain.

Yeah, I think Zouma will be gone as he isn't good enough on the ball to play in TT's system. Fortunately, be fits into the easily sold for a decent price category like Tammy (if another CF is found), Ziyech (if we decide to sell) and Tomori. That said, not too sure about the need for another CB to be brought as we have: Silva, AC, Rudi, Dave and James that can all play CB, while we could also bring back Guehi or Ampadu to pad it out further. For that reason, CB is a position that is much lower in terms of need than it was 6 months ago. As for a GK2 those are normally easy to pick up. Areola would be my personal choice.

For sure, no one should be getting worried about the situation at the moment, as the season has just finished and we as a club are very tight lipped. My point was more that I do understand why people worry, owing to our previous, and that we do need two first XI players in the shape of a CM and CF. A CM should be achievable, although I do recognise the CF will be tough. So in a nutshell, no one should worry atm, but the club do need to try their best over the next two months to try and remedy CM and CF (even if CM is the only one that they can sort.)

Just a shame we didn't sign him 10 years ago.

Well, I would argue CF and CM are absolutely vital. I think what R2 was principally talking about were our Summers in 2010, 2015 and 2017. At those times people also said we didn't need big investment and we went out and brought the like of Yossi Benayoun, Bakayoko and Baba. For me, regardless of what your team does you need to go out the following window and get a decent player of two to mix things up a bit to keep people on their toes. This Summer requires a CF and a CM and the likes of Drinkwater or Batsh*t (like we have done in previous years) isn't the answer. Like I said, I am not too worried about this, as I do think the club will do good business, however I do understand why some people are worried.

Mate, it is only a week since we won the CL, I really wouldn't worry about it at this point. I agree the clubs record, post a big trophy is pretty dire but last Summer was a big step in the right direction. Furthermore, the club are very tight lipped about any transfers, so don't believe what you read. I mean up until yesterday they were telling us Giroud was going to Milan when he actually signed an extension in April so lets face it, they know about as much as me and you, which is feck all, as to who the targets are.

Hasn't he still got two/three years left?

What does everyone think will be the kind of money do you think the club will spend this Summer? I ask as not only have we got CL money rolling in but we also have £30m from Tomori and Moses.

I am not so sure. Whilst he has been linked with moves, he is also reportedly very settled in London. It needs to be remembered that he has been living in England for 8 years now and his children have grown up here. I am not so certain he will be that against being a squad player here for similar money he would get in Italy.

I think he stays regardless. As a CF3 he is top end.

That is actually good news.

Yeah, Ugbo will be sold in my opinion to raise some cash.
