I doubt we get all of them. Even Madrid took a couple of seasons to put tchou, valverde and camavinga together. Like you say, signing 1 ( please not rice) would be exceptional from us. Enzo + Bellingham would put us in a really good position but I'm convinced the latter is going to Madrid. He is the only superstar availible this summer and they or City will snap him up, unless he has a preference for somewhere like Liverpool due to style of play or not wanting to make the step up to Madrid so soon.

Dude you are delusional. He is making a living off 1 good season. His passing range is next to zero. Jorginho can make a long pass, he prefers to go short and dictate tempo. Rice can make nothing, create nothing. He is perfect for a midtable counterattacking team. This is where he shines. Our biggest mistake would be a multimillion signing for a bang average midfielder.

Why not have someone that can do both? Rodri and Fabinho both contribute defensively and to breaking lines. Why not have a more mobile version of Jorginho?

She was at fault for rudi and christensen leaving for sure though. Any other team would've had those contract negotiations wrapped up or sold them 2 seasons before the contract ends. The problem was Roman had no problem with spending on replacements, but the actual problem was it happened in a window with no quality CBs availible. She had little to no sporting knowledge which is why Lukaku was signed and for such a high price. At the end of the day she was just a business woman (albeit very good at negotiations) but failed in the sporting aspect sometimes. Its good to have females in these roles though, it brings good PR for the club, like when we had Eva Carneiro (only reason I hate mourinho is for calling her a b*tch for doing her job) running onto the pitch every week.

If he's a good dm and doesn't have the occasional brainfart like jorginho then I think he does. We can play 433 or 4231 or 4222 or any other formation with 4 defenders as we don't have to pander to jorginhos lack of defensive ability. Put another dm hybrid like kone or caicedo next to him and suddenly we are defensively sound again and teams won't cut through our midfield like a hot knife through butter.

Still a few days till the window opens. I would expect azpi to play against forest in any case. There isn't enough time to buy a rb and have them settle, unless we throw them in at the deep end.

https://www.skysports.com/football/Chelsea-vs-bournemouth/report/464798 "James was named in the starting XI by Graham Potter as he returned from more than two months out with a knee injury and excelled for nearly an hour before going down in front of the head coach and having to be replaced. The right-back later left Stamford Bridge wearing a brace on his right knee."

Reece's performance coach posted this. Really wonder what he has to say. Either he wasn't ready or he needed surgery before WC and refused.

I don't think so, but he just won the WC so benfica is holding out for his release clause. I don't think the source is good though, it says we're bidding more than his release clause, I don't get why we would do that.

The problem is he plays rwb so definitely isn't as defensively sound as James. I think he would get caught out in the prem. Other 4 are definitely not availible so it must be him or drop off to someone like maehle.

He's a South American DM so similar to fabinho and casemiro. He can also play as a box to box mf as well though.

Maehle and Dumfries look like the obvious choices. We will have 2 good players for both FB positions but I don't want to spend 60m on a backup when the midfield needs a revamp.

Barca is trying to cuck us yet again...

Won't we have problems with FFP if we sign all these players?

Yeah wtf is up with that coming out of nowhere. I would have preferred him to Leao in all honesty.

Callum Wilson is better than him. I don't see why they would want him. We're going to have such a problem unloading this piece of crap.

https://www.squawka.com/en/outright-markets/top-10-best-out-of-work-managers/ According to this article on squawka, best free agent managers atm are: 1.Zidane (questionable whether he should be top of the list) 2. Tuchel 3. Poch (please no) 4. Bielsa (my absolute favourite manager of all time, maybe apart from mourinho) 5. Benitez (wouldn't be popular here) 6. Lopetgui (now at wolves) 7. AVB (tried and the shoe doesn't fit) 8.Quique Setien 9. Sean ducking Dyche 10. Javi Garcia Honourable mentions from a quick scan of transfrmarket: Luis Enrique, Roberto martinez, Joachim Low, Jurgen Klinsmann, Roy Hodgson, Gio Van Bronkhorst, Steven Gerrard ( please god no), Di matteo ( god bless his soul for our first CL), Andrey Shevchenko and Henk Ten Cate( LOL) We should not have sacked tuchel. End of. That was a mistake. The dreadful football was down to the mediocre players not the manager at the end of the day. There was no synergy between the players because half our team was new. We should've stuck with him like arsenal stuck with arteta. Arteta is half the manager tuchel is and potter is a quarter. Tuchel should've been given time and resources to transition the team to 433. To answer your question though, I would've gone for bielsa. He managed to implement an amazing style of play at LEEDS. With Bamford leading the line!! Imagine what he could've done with our resources. Even guardiola sings praises for him.

Very original. Did you come up with that all by yourself? I can see you're one of the fans who would be ecstatic to be a top10 team. All of you will be calling for his head when potter leads us to 3 successive 9th place finishes.

Guardiola would not stand for this shite. Koulibaly would've been out of the team from his first game. He would've demanded power over transfers or left unlike yes man potter.
