He is pretty much fucked either way haha. Eden or CHO.

I wouldnt disagree with trying him as striker haha. Actualy has decent movement and finish, often looks goal-thirsty aswell.

Boohoo. They sign these contracts, its not like they are forced into. If they werent partying all the time and study instead, they would have knowledge to not spend all the fucking money. They have education options unlike some other people. World is not fair, but when someone starts how poor chaps in nfl are, give me a break. In 3 years they earn more cash than normal person does in whole life. If they spend it all, their own fucking problem. Obviously there is no money in world worth for a possible life long injury, but its a risk they took. Go work in mcdonalds or educate yourself and become a lawyer or some shit. No one forced them to play football. People who run the nfl are real dicks, but when you see they were hiding test results of head injuries of average nfl player during their career, you know how much they value players health. Nada. They care about entertainment -> cash. If you are still stupid enough to join such league...

Easily one of best if not best midfield in PL, but without good defence and attack, it wont be easy. Hopefuly Alonso, both CBs and Morata step up through the season and we will see some amazing footy.

Ghoulam would be probably here (or at city) by now if he didnt injure himself right before start of 2018. His contract was ending aswell.

By all accounts he should as soon he adopts the Sarri phylosophy and comes to full fitness. While Jorginho is DLP, Kante b2b, Kovacic will be somewhat creative/dribbling mid, helping push the ball from midfield to attack. In napoli, Sarri had Jorginho, attacking CM Hamsik (Kovacic here) and hardworker Allan (Kante here), pretty similar type of players. Kovacic after all has technique and pass ability to work nice in Sarri system.

Cant say for others but I stood by Diego all the time. Even now lol. Why? Because he proved he is quality and simply went through rough patch like every striker. I knew he has that ability. Unlike Morata who did very little last year. Even when he was scoring with head, dont forget his finishing with feet was crap 90% of time, but we let it go because he scored with head. And he kept falling down and complained, playing style that most people dont like. Costa was complaining too, but he provoked the opponents, which often helped us. Morata simply complains fo little pushes and gets cards for no point. When/if he has great season like Diego had, trust me I wont shit on Morata either if he goes through a bad patch. I know better players need time to recover. But as of now, Morata was average last season and below average since turn of the year. And he gets game after game, but no improvement. Just pointing out facts, during games I support all our players, but if they play bad week in week out, obviously I will start complaining.

If they missed every damn sitter like Morata, they wouldnt play either.

The man is as problematic as they get. No thanks to such characters. Even if they perform good enough, they are eventualy pushed/force move out like Costa or Tibo. Just avoid this. There are Kovacic, Neves and bunch of other options we can pursue instead.

Who cares if striker can linkup if he cant score a damn goal. I want striker to know how to finish, so that you have someone reliable uptop. If he can also link up, thats only a bonus, not an excuse. Lets not kid ourselves, Morata isnt as bad player as was Torres, but he is bad as a striker. Neither could score. Thats a big problem and we must bench him if he wont get shit together by the end of august.

If you saw the video of Real Juve final, you could hear Zidane say "you will suffer" too

No player with #9 in the team. This gonna be good season guys

Tbh out of all players there, I would only pick Mbappe who will never come like you said. Decently strong, pace 9000 and lot of skill. Young but already experienced etc. Other options are all meh to me. Martial, Icardi seemed most possible but I would give a pass on either. Martial is one lazy ass and Icardi simply isnt mobile yes. I saw enough games. He isnt slow, but nowhere near enough dynamic for PL. He is deadly in penalty area, can move there well, but he doesnt have pace or power of prime Didi, Henry, Suarez, Aguero...that is required for PL. There is a reason why no one bought Icardi yet. He is fantastic finisher, but offers little support in attack, and can not link up on wings or outside penalty area. Basicaly he can finish, but everyone nowdays looks for allround strikers and Icardi isnt one. Last but not least, one of biggest dicks in football. Just not worth the hassle. Strikers out there are simply not great. Good but not great. Better than what we have but players like Cavani, Higuain, Lewa,...are nothing compared to Henry, Del Piero, Drogba, Ronaldo from some years ago. Only one realy good was Suarez who actualy performed in PL, La Liga, CL and world cups on regular basis. Absolutely fantastic striker, but also huge dick, however his quality is not questionable. Lewa was also good for about two seasons, but apart from buli, he constantly flopped in CL. Werner just might be something in few years, but he will proly join Bayern. And I hope you dont rate Lukaku lol. He is again one dimensional and Im glad we sold him. Thing is we have shit options and anyone above looks better. But that doesnt mean they are the solution. Why not take a look at lower clubs and try to find another Suarez, Drogba,...instead of poaching overpriced have beens from big clubs.

I dont like his character tbh, not realy ambitious and determined. Good strikers are often a bit of cunts or big characters, like it or not. Its what separates them from others because their confidence is sky high. Lacazette is too nice and eazy going. Im tired of these "low confidence when you tell them they suck" type of players. Be a fucking man. Sadly there are very very very few strikers out there, too bad we sold Costa.

Sure but we lost a player that scored the MOST goals for us and we didnt replace him. Hazard will likely be on around 15 and Willian/Pedro on 10. Even if someone else also contributes 10, that wont be enough because we need someone that can do 20 and we dont have one.

Fulham bought whole new 11. Only Cairney and Sessegnon will probably play from last season. Huge blast in chemistry and if they go down even after spending 100m, it wont be a surprise at all. They do have decent coach unlike QPR, Swansea, Stoke,... had. They bought 2 good GKs after already having Betinelli. Mawson, Marchand, Chambers and Mensah who are all at least on paper good enough to play for Fulham, not counting any CB that played for them last season. Rico, Anguissa and two CBs were totaly unnecessary.

Yes I agree completely, but would be better if Chelsea planned ahead, now we were left with no other quality choice but Kovacic on loan without buy clause. But IMO doesnt matter if our midfield is perfect, if Morata replicates last season form, we are not going to be in top 4, simple as that. We need two reliable players, like we had with Eden and Costa. Now we only have Eden. Thats not enough to get in top 4 right now, considering how shit our defence looked recently. Sarri got his midfield, but he also plays attacking football and we dont have quality striker which is very worrying.

I would like a new top striker, but Higauin, icardi or Lewa just arent it. Icardi is a poacher and other two are in 30s. All three are slow and not dynamic. Im glad we avoided paying big money for either of them. Hopefuly there will be dynamic, decently experienced, under 27 years old striker available next summer.

Can this twat just shut the fuck up for once? He got his wish, Eden is here. But he will continue to talk to move Eden there. What a cunt. I NEVER wish bad luck to players, but couldnt care less if Tibo flops and fans of every club he played so far fucking hate him. I dislike this twat with pleasure. Hopefuly Atletico fans show him his place and if he ever plays at SB again, we do the same.

Dont forget Hyundai on sleeve. Kits look as far from clean and classy as possible.

Mate, judging by how great our board is, we will get Fiat next summer.

I havent seen much of him at all, and while those videos look ridiculous, I wont judge him by that. People say he is extremely talented. I just hope we didnt throw 70m down the drain, good luck Kepa and make us proud.

Thats if everything goes in our favour. Real can slap 100m price on him if he has stellar season here. Hell, they might even want to keep him and he will love playing there if thats the case. If he is average, yeah we can get him, but then we would have to pay like 50m for someone who had average season... Next year we will have the money like this year. We only spent 60m on new player, while GK was a panic/freak situation because we had to sell our first choice GK. Like Morata after Costa left. We hardly spend big on someone that we arent replacing, but rather adding to squad. Besides Tibo likely brought 40m, thats 30m tops on Kepa after balancing out. Jorginho for 60 and Kepa for 30 (plus 40m from Tibo sale)= 90m spent. Sell Baka, Drinks etc and you have enough for good mid. This isnt excuse we couldnt afford another quality midfielder, but obviously not last day ffs because board is plain and simply stupid for taking the time with every damn thing. ''At the same time, we managed to greatly improve our team for a year, for free. '' Here is the catch, like you said Kovacic isnt marquee name to add some boost, just a quality talent. And for only that I dont want to improve my team for just one year. I rather drive Audi for next 10 years than Porsche for a year and then drive some crap for 9 years. Long term is all what the board should be about. And if one Kovacic alone will drasticly improve us, then we realy are crap team haha.

He decreased big time and Im not that surprised tbh.

Yeah they would attract attention thats true. But in Kovacic case like you say it wont. And what we end up is player that will take time, patience, trust and he can say goodbye after a year. And if Real sells aging Modric next summer and tells Kovacic you are great, come back: he will not hesitate for a second, that is my worry. RLC or whoever else will remain on this year level and we will need to buy new midfleder, spending money, time and who knows how will that new player adopt, another Bakayoko and we lose yet another year.
