Gary Cahill and David Luiz both playing CB together for Chelsea gives me the fear.... What a pair of clowns, when Zouma is fully fit he's got to return to this team as Terry's partner. A few positives though, Marcus Alonso looked not bad at left back in his first start and should improve as he gets even more used to our team, Azpilicueta was excellent and the fighting spirit shown is a big plus after a poor performance v Liverpool where we gave them too much respect. Arsenal next, start Cesc and Alonso!!!!

I think it makes more sense playing him as a CF if I'm honest. Physically it suits him, he doesn't have the technical ability or intelligence to control or dictate the game as a midfielder but he's quick, can take players on and makes good runs in to space. He can hold the ball up too with his frame.

I think Thibaut proved he was better than Cech when he was playing for Atletico Madrid, having outstanding games in the spanish cup final against Real Madrid and also various champions league games in their run up to the CL final in 2014 or whenever it was where he made a huge contribution. Regarding his contract situation and these quotes about returning to Spain, we finished outside the top 4 last season, have no champions league.... he considered leaving this season and if we don't do well in the league again the likes of himself and many players (Hazard, Costa, Cesc, Matic) will also be in the same boat.

If Costa plays like he has so far this season in terms of his application on and off the ball and continues getting into the positions he is getting in to, he will score 15-20 goals this year. His hold up play is incredible in comparison to what it was last season under Mourinho, he's really sharp, just hope he doesn't pick up any injuries.

Don't think this is a good move, he's shown at PSG exactly what weaknesses he showed when he was here. People can say he's matured now he's 29 but he wasn't 20 or 21 when we signed him was he?

He should go to Spain or Italy yeah. Decent talent but will need time to adjust to Europe.

He looked decent defensively at the Euros and in the CL games I seen him in last season but also had a few iffy moments. I think Conte and the way he sets up could also help him, we've looked very organised in certain phases of games and that's only after 2-3 weeks of Conte doing work. He's looks a big athletic powerful player, think he'd be an ideal signing because he can still improve quite significantly too but hes at a decent enough level, (much better than Baba is) his end product is pretty good and also he takes decent set plays. I'd prefer to see us get him than the likes of an Arsenal or Liverpool or someone else.

That's what I said. 'We need to get a CB .... and sign an actual left footed LB... before looking at this guy.'

We need to get a CB, sell Ivanovic and sign an actual left footed LB like Rodriguez before even looking at this guy.

Cmom Conte sign him up. Would be an impressive signing.

The last 17 year old keeper we signed was a gem. So hopefully more of the same with this kid.

"Marca claim Valencia are ready to sacrifice Mustafi on the transfer market in order to keep Andre Gomes and even called up Milan themselves to alert the club of this possibility." so if they sold Gomes is he not available or?

Glad we are looking at other alternatives since we aren't getting anywhere dealing with Napoli but not sure of this guy at all. Anyone seen him play a lot?

I think we will see tonight whether or not 4-2-4 will work against a good team that plays a fluid 4-3-3/4-2-3-1. Interesting match up despite being pre season but I'd like to see us have a MF 3 of Kante - Matic - Cesc come the start of the season.

Imagine paying all that money when they could sign van Dijk from Southampton who is at about the same level and also very comfortable on the ball. English players prices will get even worse as well that's the worst thing about it. Surely Kompany is as good as done at City now? I reckon we should put a sneaky bid in for him, if we could get him fit and back to what he was at 2 years ago he'd be the signing of the season.

His natural position is not right back. This is like Ivanovic all over again. If he comes to play as a Center half then fine but if not don't sign him get an actual right back...

World class? Honestly? He is not world class, he is decent but he had a very good year last season in terms of goals and assists which has made his stock rise so to speak. I wouldn't have him ahead of any of our wide players and when the season gets going we will see how Mahrez manages to continue his performances from last year now he will be doubled up against almost every game now that people will have figured out his strengths. The only opportunity to sign a wide player we should take this summer would be for a Bale, Douglas Costa, Neymar, Alexis Sanchez etc if someone of that ilk was available. I'd take someone like Candreva too because I like him as a player too but hes hardly a necessity or serious upgrade on what we have. But anyway I like how Conte had identified we needed another striker and a central midfielder and managed to get deals done, so hopefully center back and left back will be the next deals done (well we all know he has identified we need a CB due to the media).

I know that's true unfortunately regarding the swap deals but surely a Remy or Moses would be a reasonable player for somebody like a Napoli in a slower and lesser quality league. I mean look at Salah and Gervinho in Italy in comparison to their times in England. Someone like Moses could excel over there where it's a lot slower and less hectic. Even Remy with his pace and movement against a lot of slow defenders.

I'm thinking more for Ruben who has played that second striker role in pre season so far, imagine he had Tevez there to watch and learn from, he was awesome in that role for Juventus and even that half a season after he went AWOL at City, Mancini used him behind Aguero to great effect.

Offer them 30m plus one of either Moses, Papy or Remy. Time to use these sort of deals to try and start persuade clubs to take our deadwood, I'm all for improving areas we need to improve but it's also pointless keeping these players who won't play any games.

Past it? He totally reinvented himself at Juve, playing as a second striker, he could still do a job for us as a second striker with Costa or Michy I reckon, I doubt he's past it after one season in Argentina.

Think he said last week he will be staying at Real which is a shame because he is a superb player, I'm really baffled how Zidane doesn't seem to rate him or Isco and struggles to get him in to the team. Casemiro is a good footballer but Kroos played excellently as a CDM under Ancelotti the previous year...

3 or 4 years ago I'd of taken him in a heart beat due to his huge potential but now I don't think he's half as what he's made out to be, his career stalled because he chose lots of tax free money over waiting for the right move, fair enough this happens on a regular now but I think he surely understands what a mistake it was to join Zenit.

Maybe Neymar, Suarez, Bale, Hazard could go in there yeah but even then still extortionate amounts of money.

Don't think he will ever be good enough for us to be perfectly honest. He's decent and last season Leicester had an amazing year but I doubt he'll be going anywhere, let alone coming here to rot on the bench in place of Pedro/Kenedy/Moses/Cuadrado. We are top heavy in wide areas as of right now and need to get either a loan deal for Kenedy and sell Moses or keep Kenedy and sell Moses and another. Hazard, Pedro, Cuadrado, Moses, Willian, Kenedy, heck even Traore can all operate on either the right or left wing, we have enough wingers. Not to forget Musonda, Nathan and I'm certain even Boga can do a job out wide who are on loan already.
