Don’t know what our club were expecting. We’re they hoping that since Fofana’s head was turned Leicester would just give up and sell him for much cheaper than their valuation? They were never going to sell him for a penny less than what they got for Maguire years ago.

What kind of incompetent bullshit is that? We’ve already bid twice and were instantly rejected so we increase the bid by a tiny amount and expect them to sell? This will probably just piss them off and they’ll refuse to sell to us now. And here I was hoping this would be sewn up BEFORE we played them this weekend. Now it probably won’t happen at all.

Yeah, I don’t think he’s got any chance at all of making the WC squad. Unless he goes on a rampage in a Chelsea shirt and scores like 10 goals before the tournament starts which ain’t happening. Southgate loves sticking with his favorites anyways despite form.

Nah, think Tuchel deserves to see out this whole season. You don’t give a manager hundreds of millions of pounds worth of transfers in the summer and then sack him at any point during that same season. He has earned the right to stay for this season. Let’s see if his biggest calls (Auba, Gordon, Fofana) work out before shitting on him.

Tuchel is basically putting his head on the chopping block if we sign Gordon for silly money. If he works out and kills it Tuchel will look like a genius. But if he hand picks this kid and he flops after we spend £60m on him that’s sackable.

£60m on Anthony Gordon would be the worst transfer in football history. No exaggerating. Really, anything above £40m (becuase he is a huge talent, English, and coming from a desperate club who don’t want to sell) is psychotic. For £60m a smart scouting team could go to other leagues and identify TWO young talents who could become great players.

Btw, from all the footage I’ve seen Leão seems to play and do most of his damage from the left side where Sterling obviously plays. So another reason why I’m skeptical of our interest this summer.

I’d still be pretty shocked if we signed any additional attackers after Auba. Gordon in particular doesn’t really help our wastefulness in the final third so spending £50m on him is absurd. Even Leão, who I love, is a massive risk for the mega fee he’d cost and we don’t know yet if he was a one season wonder or if he’s the real deal.

Yeah, I think we’ll sign Fofana and Auba and then we’re done. Lamps was pretty adamant when asked about him how important Gordon is to Everton. They could be in another relegation fight this season so to sell their brightest young talent is a no go. And I ain’t complaining if we miss out on him and waste £50m. Leão seems super far fetched. Don’t see anyone clued in reporting it.

So uh, are we gonna spend £400m this summer with Leão, Gordon, Auba, and Fofana?

Even yesterday when we were shite Reece was our most dangerous attacker together with Sterling as soon as Tuchel abandoned this RLC experiment. Same against Spuds when he changed the formation and moved Reece to his actual position. Signing Fofana already so that James can play as a fucking wingback will help the team so much. RLC over there was a cute trick in a one off game where Spuds weren’t expecting it. We obviously should not be doing that again. As for a midfield signing, I was of the same mind as Tuchel apparently still is in. I figured “we have Jorginho, Kante, Kova, and Gallagher so we don’t need a new, expensive midfielder.” But after seeing us totally fall apart and crumble into a pathetic mess in the span of 7 days without Kante I’ve changed my mind. Kante and Kova are ALWAYS injured these days and cannot be counted on. And for some reason Tuchel considers Gallagher a deep midfielder when that clearly isn’t his position as we saw yesterday. He’s best in the Mount role and that’s who he should be competing with, not Kante and Kova. We go from being a totally dominant, world class midfield to one who every opponent fancies themselves against with a single injury. That tells you we need someone new.

All that positivity I felt after that Spuds performance where we should have won and all the positivity about how we asserted ourselves on a top opponent has been sapped within 7 days. We’re the same toothless Chelsea from much of last season with the exact same weaknesses and mentality when a team gets in our faces.

3 games in, 5 points off top, no attacking progress, negative goal difference. Humiliated now by a side who haven’t been able to defend for their lives in months.

We don’t look like getting close to scoring any goals via our attackers. Our fucking defenders have been more dangerous than our forwards. 😩😩😩 it’s infuriating

Every single time there’s a quick transition we’re extremely vulnerable because the midfield is nonexistent.

We’re only 3 games in and we can clearly see why this should be the final seasons for Jorgi and Kante, btw. Something we’ve all been wondering about. Kante because he can’t stay fit these days and Jorginho because he can’t deal with the intensity of this league most weeks. Both must sadly go next summer.

Mount hasn’t got going yet this season 3 games in. Totally on the periphery in each game so far. Sterling has looked our only dangerous attacker so far this season. Don’t see where the goals are coming from with this current team.

If you press us hard in midfield we cannot cope with J5 in there. He is LESS than useless in a game like this where we don’t have 70+ % of the ball with him comfortably dictating things. This is the sort of game that screams out for a certain profile of midfielder. THIS is why the links to a calm, press resistant midfielder like FDJ make sense. Or Kova if he were bloody fit.

Embarrassing. Getting fucking battered.

You fucking know all week preparing for this how Leeds play. And yet we look totally rattled still.

And there’s you typical Mendy error with the ball at his feet. Looks dodgy as hell almost every time he is out under pressure.

Jorginho is like a fucking statue standing in the middle of the pitch. Getting breezed by over and over.

I think it’s more about the fact that Tuchel doesn’t want to play Azpi who has no legs anymore against quick attackers. Like last week when he specifically mentioned that he wanted Reece at CB to defend Son which he ended up doing brilliantly. With Fofana hopefully coming in next week we won’t have to see Reece “wasted” back there anymore.

Not really anyone on the bench who we can throw on if we’re in desperate need of a goal since Broja is out injured again. Once more highlighting our need for a striker.

Big, BIG chance for Conor to show what he’s got. Excited to see him finally start for us in the PL. Looks like Cucu has instantly come in and won the first choice LWB position without even much of a fight. Wonder what Chilly is thinking…
