I'm okay with Cucu getting a shot under Poch and a proper season where we actually play decent football. There is a reason he was wanted by big clubs. He had his personal issues too, and some players are impacted more by stuff off the field. Lets see how he goes.

You'd actually think we've sold a young R9 for peanuts with how Chelsea fans are going on about Lewis Hall on Twitter and Youtube videos. Then I read how we keep making this same mistake with our academy talents and how they turn into stars. And how Billy Gilmour leaving was a mistake too. I sat there and scratched my head trying to think of a single academy player we let go that we are upset about to this day... Not one came to mind...

Idiot. "We want to keep confidential" **Breaking News guys - I'm going on SKY to talk about our deal**

Anyone give a rundown on Pino? Any good? Who out of those 4 would y'all be keen on?

Barcola looks about 3 times as good as Doku. Don't rate Doku just off the eye test. Barcola I feel has something special about him.

Saw him in the recent video of Caceido training for the first time. Was in workout gear and what not, so are we sure the source is reliable for this?

Looks like a proper player. Bit of Henry about him.

Lukaku straight swap.

Start the bidding at 120mil.

Is Olise done? I feel our team is elite now. Just need a backup striker/second striker type.

Yeah - we are all devastated Mr.100% Mount is gone.

If we can get 35 million pounds with some add ons, you can't say no... Especially if the players mindset is I want to go to boyhood club.

Hope it is us lol... He looks immense.

Do we even get 15 mil for him?

Is he staying with us or off to France?

Yeah no one is paying above 100 million pounds for a DM... 🤣

So we're going to be lining up with a midfield 3 of Enzo-Caceido-Lavia? Can't be too mad at that lol.

This is such a contrast to everyone who was spewing - "They're ruining the club and can't negotiate for shit!" just a week ago. People think 100 million dollar deals, and billion dollar turnarounds of a business happen on a whim. They are transforming the way the club runs to a more sustainable and long term model. Give them some time. We are winning some of the best young talent in the world over with our plan to come here - that should tell you enough.

You have some odd takes for a Chelsea fan lol

You don't disclose why - and let other clubs make an independent assessment of whether to buy or not. Just like a house really. Don't like something that comes back in pre sale report - don't buy. Someone else might be okay with it though.

I disagree. Our lack of attack was in large part due to the middle of the pitch and not being able to build up properly. We have plenty of talent - it is just hard as fans to imagine a turn around after the struggle we had last season. We will be competing for top 4 easily.

So if we get Lavia AND Caceido - what does our starting line up look like in terms of best 11?

Appreciate the response James. 🙂 I've gone ahead and booked them. Don't want to take the risk and not see the lads. $1500 Aussie dollars later... lol. Think the cheapest with two tickets together even on livefootballseats was $1300 - so had to splash a bit regardless. I feel like I shouldn't have to pay tax for a year or two if I ever decide to work in the UK because of that.

I mean if we get Lavia and Caicedo - we don't need any new midfielders for the next 10 years. You have Santos, Casadei and Ugo as the massive potential guys in the wings as the other foundations if the other two don't work out. All that paired with Enzo who is another foundational piece for the next 10 years. I think the "project" that they are trying to sell players on that are coming here is getting the young pieces in now that will be together for 7-10 years and dominate world football. The new management see Barca, who went through, didn't make too many changes - but had so much time together to gel and become great as the staple or vision.
