Was a little tounge in cheek... the more I see clips of Raphiniha, he reminds me more of Mahrez than Ziyech.

They are the same player. Bizarre lol

He has the ability and overall a leaders mentality. Many Juve fans want him to stay and become their future captain. He started of a little poorly there but from what I've read, he has improved alot. I would prefer him over Kounde, he plays with more heart on the field.

Wasn't keen on Dembele anyway. Have a feeling he would go missing for large parts of the season playing in the Prem. I'm open to him proving me wrong but Im certainly not a fan of his behavioural patterns.

Raphiniha is almost a carbon copy of Ziyech but a little fatser. I really don't see the point in getting him.

After watching Neymars documentary on Netflix... no thanks. He plays for himself and himself only.

Who the fuck is thus Scamacca guy they speak of?

I'm still absolutely baffled at how Inter have the cheek to take Lukaku back without sending a player our way considering they will still make a profit wether it be Skriniar or Bastoni. Maybe that's why Bohely has said, enough is enough with the circus that is our existing board and has told Marina she can do one.

So Skriniar and Bremer are out of the question. Fantastic news that.

Got to say, I'm starting to feel Sterling could actually be a pretty good signing after seeing his stats and watching some recent highlights of him. His sheer pace and agility will stretch defences opening up much needed spaces for others to attack. As said above... he produced 17 goals last season. He is proven in the Prem and with Mount and Gallagher in the team... the English contingency is actually a really good thing for this club. Hmm.. maybe it isn't as bad as initial thoughts would have you believe.

I know exactly how you feel, at 33 I question my maturity daily but not enough to stop 😄

Ahh a fellow Ultimate Team player! It's funny because as soon as I saw his name mentioned on here, I thought to myself... well his TOTS is pretty decent.

Inter refused to swap a player for Lukaku?? We have been royally fucked over in this one. We should fuck this deal off and let him rot in the reserves.

Inter are trying go take the piss out of us again. Wouldn't be surprised if we fell for it.

Good point 👉

It's bullshit. Dembele knows he would be a starter here under TT. He comes across as a problem child this lad. Can we really be bothered with him wanting away in a year or two to join PSG or another French club!

I mean Sterling for 35million is a pretty good deal to be honest. When I was hearing 60m I was thinking fuck that... but 35m.. crack on.

There you go, the only man to trust on such business. "Chelsea will definitely be buying players this summer but first they are to sort out many things internally, including that big sack of donkey shit.. Lukaku"

That's what I thought looking at his highlights. With Kante on the operating table week in, week out and Kova also suffers from niggling injuries, Jorginhos looking like he wont be around for much longer, suddenly we don't have the options we think we do. Gallagher and Mount are similar players.. both number 8's if you like..Kova and Kante also. We actually lack a real CDM like a Rodri, Tchoumaeni ect.

Links with SMSavic.. Looks decent on YouTube. Any one watched him in games?

Who?

Let's be honest, none of us have any idea on how difficult it is to organise the purchase of what now is the most expensive club to buy in the World. The level of planning and day to day activity must have been enormous. Now I could imagine Bohely and Co have been actively managing the club since that purchase, learning its existing state whilst planning to implement a progressive structure as declared publicly. It would be wise not to rush any transfers in my opinion considering they want to stop going for the x-factor purchase and start buying wisely, (based on stats) similar to the Liverpool model. If they rush in and go gun-ho, buying Tom, Dick and Harry, and they flop then we are potentially stuck with a roster of deadwood... similar to the sitatuion we are in now. Which leads me onto the undeniable fact that we have way too many attacking players that just aren't good enough.. they need to be offloaded before we go buying Dembeles, Sterling's or Jesus'. The wage bill has to be shed of these deadbeats weekly salaries before we hand another 200k a week to others.

Nothing new then. Just a rinse and repeat of what we already know. 👏

Just straight swap the cunt for Skriniar

Let's see where we are at by the end of next week. If Jesus goes to Arsenal and Nkunku signs a new deal with RBL and we still haven't signed the likes of Dembele and Kounde .. then maybe I'll start to worry. There is one slightly worrying article that keeps popping up today, that Bohely wants to keep Lukaku against Tuchels will . I hope that is bullshit.
