Well the fact that noone other than Saudis or Milan with a veeeery low price wanted these players is just an indicator for how they are valued in the football world. And there must be a reason for that. Pulisic could have become good but he is too injury prone and sadly that wont change in the future.

I mean, Cahill is 1 year younger than Thiago.....sign him up? 😏

You can wear your PJs on a red carpet nowadays?

I wouldnt say no to an experienced, but PERFORMING and guiding DM or a striker like Giroud. Just dont know who that should be. On paper, Lukaku would be a good fit tbh lol if he just was a better person

Most of the players we sold were here for more than 1 year, so we had time to assess them over a longer period, and sorry, they are not good enough to attack the league. Maybe the new signings arent good enough for that as well, yes, who knows, but what we know is that some of the players we had were just not good enough for a club with ambitions like Chelsea. We saw it for more than 1 year. You really tell me you would have kept KK, Pulisic, Mendy or RLC???

Experience per se has no value on the pitch. If we are talking about experience a la Thiago, so combined with work ethic and guidance for youngsters, then yes, experience a la Neymar? Hell no, this guy would be like a virus destroying everything. I mean we could also just keep Lukaku, he definitely has a lot of experience. Or Auba, HELLA experienced player. But why dont we wanna keep them? Because they have no value for the team. There is a difference between being old and being experienced in a useful way. We have experienced players in the squad: Thiago, Reece (despite his age), Chilly, Sterling, they are experienced enough to lead the way. This has always been a 3 year plan: Year 1: change Year 2: grow Year 3: succeed Arsenal had a very young team as well last season, only 2 players of their starting XI were over 25. They did kinda the same. Got rid of all their experienced older players (Sokratis, Kolasinac, Martinez, Leno, Mustafi, Mkhitaryan, Willian, David Luiz, Aubameyang) and replaced them with kinda unexperienced young players (Ben White, Odegaard, Smith Rowe, Ramsdale, Lokonga, Tavares and so on), had trust in them, let them grow and succeed. The funny thing is that they also kinda felt the urge to add in some experience to their squad midseason, buying Jorginho, well, didnt end too well.

Only on paper, not on the pitch. Noone of the outgoings will be missed, not even Kante, who was finished anyway.

I want a Netflix movie about this whole saga.

I dont think that anything is being held up by the Caicedo negotiations, I think Caicedo is the only definite target at the moment and that all other options and targets will get assessed after preseason, after Poch had a good look on the players. I dont expect us to sign anyone in the next 3-4 weeks except Caicedo. Lets not forget we already have made 3 signings for next season (Nkunku, Melo, Jackson)

Sometimes things take time. Arsenal agreed a fee for Rice 10 days ago and still Rice it not an Arsenal player officially till now. 10 days of negotiating addons and payment structure and still counting.

So no Lavia 😂

So he was bought for the first team?

Poor guys

At this point I think that guy would tear his ACL while fucking.

We only have 1 game per week, no big rotation needed. Reece can be a very good DM and at this point, we need to trust our talents a bit more. It would be ridiculous to spend like another 50m on a 19yo Lavia, when we have a 19yo Santos and a 19yo Chukwuemeka in the squad already with similar talent. Let the boys cook. Santos will be worth 100m in 2 years, I swear.

If I were Brighton I would certainly spread these kind of news 😂

We only need Caicedo, and this will happen 100%

He would say its great business from Liverpool - selling Hendo and Fab to fund Lavia and Thuram - he would love it

Somehow I wish the deal falls thru and we let this fucker rot in hell.

If Inter turns this 30m + bonuses from € to £ we should accept. This guy is our highest earner lol, let that sink in.

Funny how City is basically sponsored by itself.....and quite ahead of everyone else........but we cant have Paramount 🙄

For the impatient guys here, sth to smile:

He is so happy 😍😍😍

We dont need a big squad having 1 game per week so maybe he can be used in both positions depending on the squad situation.

That alone must reassure Colwill that he will have playing time this season because it also makes sense for the club from a financial and contract point of view to integrate him. I dont know of what he is so afraid of. He played 17 games last season for Brighton, so playing 15 games for Chelsea would be big step up.
