We need to replace Matic and Moses next season. They are the weakest links in the team. Moses ruins too many of our attacks and Matic isn't a good counterpart to Kante, who is superior at everything Matic can do.
Terrifying prospect, but it seems inevitable now. The sad thing is that the Spanish and Italian teams will quote us 50-60m even for mediocre players we'll always lose out by selling him.
Lol I'm dying here laughing at the thought of 80m on Belotti. If Costa leaves we're fucked. These sales of world class players never really go well for the club selling irrespective of the offer. Look at United with Ronaldo for example. We'll probably spend that money on some clown like Lukaku.
We've been poor. The Matic/Kante midfield never really works tbh. Great solidity but sacrifices possession and creativity. Quite a few players having poor games so far. Hope we can at least get a draw out of this.
Looks unremarkable. We already have Kante and Matic. I don't understand the purpose of signing Bakayoko and was hoping we'd spend that Oscar money on real quality players. This is what the board does anyways nowadays. Spend 25-30m pounds on middling players while our rivals are adding quality to their sides.
In the first half our centrehalves were trying to pump the the ball up the pitch to the wingers. There was no midfield and the commentators were mentioning that there was no one in the centre to pass the ball around. That was on Conte for selecting Oscar. Conte would be close to a sacking at this point without the goals Costa conjures every game.
