Sarri doesn`t really know the senior squad he inherited yet,the youth talent..he`ll need a lot longer than he`s had in this short summer. by next summer he will know it better and can make decision if we need Kovacic then. unless we win the league and Kovacic is player of the year he`s likely to remain an after thought by Real. him say having a good Europa league campaign is not gonna make them really think he`s better than what they got. Kovacic is pissed off with Real and there`s burnt bridges there that might not be fixed. most good to great players enjoy their time at Chelsea.i`d say he`s gonna be one of them and won`t want to go back to the bench there because the "you can take over from Modric" carrot can just as easily be taken away when a shiney new toy of a player burst onto the scene. either way tho there are plenty of options out there for his position.when we have plenty of time to work out a deal. this short before the window closes he`s our best one. potentially we could have used the we will swap our good player who wants to leave for your good player who wants to leave. both Cuntois and Kovacic are worth about the same but we left it too late. we found ourselves in a bad place and we got out of it pretty well all things considered. next summer we should have a better time of it..Sarri knowing who exactly he wants to keep who to sell,who he needs to buy etc..

him and CHO our best under 23`s at present. worthy of a squad place and plenty of starts during the season ahead with us playing many games in less desirable tournaments.

if we sign him will be interesting to see what we do with who is already here. if we had longer left in the window I`d love us to work on a swap deal involving Willian for Martial but think we left it too late for that. would love us to get Fekir tho..just curious to see how it would impact the rest of the squad.

one league goal yes. although feeding Ronaldo would have been his main job..Ronaldo would even knock his own players out of the way to get a shot in. I`d expect him to score a few more with us although he only scored 1 goal in 46 caps for Croatia too. he has scored I believe 23 goals in all during his pro career. we`ll boss the midfield with him Kante and Jorginho. we`ll just have to see where the goals come from when Sarri has the squad up to speed.

he`s basically not going to play for a top English side now..Chelsea,Man city,Man U,Liverpool,Tottenham,Arsenal. and the pack below that,the likes of Leicester,Everton all have longterm solutions in place..is a shame for one who promised so much in his younger days that by chosing to stay at a smaller club during his formative years to get more games and develop quicker it`s not gonna be rewarded. his best hope now is that a team outside of the top pack emerges or he tries his luck abroad.still should make England squads tho.

hope he lasts longer than the last player we signed from Bilbao,although I`d take his premier league title winning percentage..(100%)

enjoy life.we`ll soon enough all be worm food.

seen some rumblings he`s off to Everton on loan. good player but not a good fit for us..he isn`t gonna play much if he stayed with us if atall..Ampadu is ahead of him now.

the position we found ourselves in. if we can get a keeper of his calibre that would be an epic escape from it..i have visions of Cuntois watching our games and laughing at us if we had a dodgy keeper but if we land Kepa and he turns out great that would wipe the smug look off his face and leave atleast a few in Madrid wishing they had him instead. especially when they realize how many times Cuntois gets beaten at his near post.

Muhammed is the most popular baby boys name in Britain at the moment. wife is pregnant so found myself looking at an article about baby names. at first I was shocked..but then thought well..non-muslims spread the names out more between about 60 different names. did wonder if any non-muslims are naming their babies that after Salah tho..like in Liverpool..Muhammed Mclekkymetertamperor.

I`d take a happy to be here-fully committed Butland over Courtois ,his antics and sunday league near post capabilities. give him a year..we paid 30m for Drinkwater..Butland offers better value than that.

lessons to be learnt from this... 1) when loaning players out just loan them somewhere for 1 year.don`t let them develop roots there if we think they have a genuine shot at making our first team..preferably also nowhere that a millionaire footballer might like to live. 2) be weary of signing young players from countries that don`t have a history of success.they will be hyped up and not have the infrastructure of football legend gurus to bring them down to earth. 3) don`t let any player worth keeping or atleast due a high transfer fee for go within a year of becoming a free agent. 4)work better towards having in-house replacements for as many positions as possible.through youth to 1st team integration.

I see it as being between A) them having confidence in Jose and letting him do what he wants or B. they see his past history and realize he`s on track to implode and so they refuse to let young talent go because they think he`s gonna leave soon no matter. I see Jose wanting to do it..just a case of if their club will allow it and prefer to try to keep Jose over Martial. I think both players would welcome the move.

player/s plus cash deal I could see happening but not the straight 75m. maybe Drinkwater plus cash..

PSG got too many quality keepers, really think we could get one of theirs at short notice. we aren`t going to get someone of Courtois on field quality but could get someone to give us time to find our longterm replacement or help Bulka grow into that role. a goalkeeper with less talent than Courtois could give us a better season than having a half hearted Courtois.

only transfers I see us possibly bringing in now involve a Willian and cash for Martial as 1 in 1 out for them aswell as us. and possibly one of the PSG keepers. I`m thinking along the lines that nobody will want to let a key player go with so little time before window closes. for us in the EPL atleast ,so there`s a slither of hope that we can sign somebody from abroad whose club has longer to get a replacement or from the well run clubs that already have their replacements in place. the best transfer we could possibly make would be transferring Marina into a non-football related job.and get proper qualified football people in. I don`t know if she has video footage of Roman noshing on goat cock or what that keeps her in her current position.

we will find out in time but wouldn`t shock me atall if Hazard is moved from the left flank. either to a more central position or on the right..(with some interchanging of course) I understand the qualities playing a left footer on the right,right footer on the left but do think it can be overplayed and does have some negative aspects to it sometimes. most of us have presumed that is where Hazard is going to be and it may be so..i`m just saying I`m not making that presumption. he hasn`t played for Sarri yet.

play to win,smack them in the mouth a few times,see what happens but at the bare minimum, go down fighting...none of that shameful surrender monkey shit.

he`s lived in England since he was 4 so yes.

Bayern declared they are not interested in Pavard after being linked most of the summer. a player I`d be happy with us signing.would help trim the squad with him being able to put in a good shift at CB and RB.

Until we have atleast one World class CF we don`t need to be worrying about any of them getting enough minutes,fook all of them..fight for the place. it`s a position clearly up for grabs.

Klopp joined LFC in October 2015 so he hasn`t even been there 3 years yet let alone 4.

doesn`t excite me but same could have been said about the only other time we signed a Uraguayan and I ended up loving Poyet.

4 spots for LW/RW starter and depth of Hazard,Pedro,CHO and anyone of Pulisic or Bailey I`d be more than happy with. this year is the perfect year to give young a genuine shot. youth may be inconsistent but that`s what we get with most of our senior players. only youth got more chance of improving. even tho certain positions when we are talking players capable of incredible moments of skill are less likely to ever be able to pull it off week after week the way a great defender can. I don`t see Sarri being under great pressure this season..if he can get us moving in the right direction working to bridge the gap on the ground we have lost ready to challenge for the big trophies in year 2.

quality player.be a good fit for us I think.but not convinced we could get him..Arsenal only really part their cheeks for the Manc clubs.
