Reddish-Blue

Guessing that means Chalobah - Tosin at CB, doubt he'd start Josh/Sarr in a semi final at CB.

If only we could find a CB like that 😄

Doubt George and Guiu would get guaranteed game time at a PL side. Probably better for them to play in Championship or even Strasbourg if they are willing to offer decent development minutes.

If this kid is that good, why bother going after Gittens at all?

Wonder if that means Jackson reuniting with Emery at Villa?

The only question is, how much would Everton be able to demand from another club? At the end of the day, he's a CB and yes there is a homegrown tax, but even then, I wouldn't expect clubs to be bidding more than the Maguire to United transfer fee.

Exactly, Arsenal are only starting talks with Noni after the Gittens/Pedro transfers. They know our attackers won't be happy with less minutes next season. I don't see it going over 50 million unless Newcastle drop out of the Elanga race and put in a bid themselves.

Arsenal actually want an ex-spurs youth captain in their side?

Steinberg (usually reports on West Ham transfers) saying West Ham want around 60m for Kudus. Good pick up for them, with Son linked to Saudi

Mbeumo's current club isn't stupid, they will milk United for as much as possible. I'm surprised Spurs didn't put in a formal bid.

I thought the Osimhen deal fell through because his agent wanted ridiculous wages, which was above the club's wage structure. And then somehow he ended up in Turkey of all places

Imagine if Madrid get knocked out at this stage...

Your forgetting that magical run he put together to end the season, he's only 27 and will get better with more game time. 😆

Regarding the Maignan transfer not being done, wonder if Sanchez didn't agree to be the #2 and thats why the club didn't push (even though they've been actively negotiating with Dortmund for ex-City boy Gittens).

Its a shame that he misses the game but I'm also happy to see him get a breather as we'll need him fit for the long season ahead 😆 Time to see Maresca's management skills in action without Caicedo running around like a mad man. Hopefully between Essugo/Santos/Lavia, they can cover midfield for 1 game

If only we could do a cash + Felix deal for Silva!

I would love to have Murillo at CB, what a player. I doubt Forest sell him! Think Cunha and Igor were linked to a move to Forest, iirc.

Maybe the Brazilian wonderkid could be that type, if he develops to the levels expected?

I still remember at the time when we got the Palmer deal done and other teams fans were laughing at us, saying how we wasted 40 million on a City reserve attacker.

His future pathway is just like any other talented youngster, go on loan and show your talents and if you are good enough, you may come back into the first team. If Paez was expecting to walk into the Chelsea first team, then he was either sold the wrong message or he's got a massive ego and he'll probably be running off to a Spanish/Portuguese club in a season or two. As for goalkeeper, I don't see any stockpiling of talent, it was clear that Petrovic wouldn't be the #1 this season and thats why they mutually agreed to keep him out of the CWC squad. The weird part is, no-one has really come in for him, even though he did relatively well in Ligue 1 last season. Maignan was our only shot at fixing the GK situation and at least getting a good keeper in for 2-3 seasons and in the meantime Penders would develop on loan with a view to first team football. Now we're stuck with Sanchez for this season.

You just know that half of those players will get a yellow in the next game Can't wait to see a starting lineup with KDH, Josh and others 😆

Does this mean all of our new signings have had minutes (apart from Penders/Sarr)

Arsenal would try to low ball us. I'm sort of surprised Newcastle haven't put in a bid for him, after their Elanga bid got rejected by Forest.

Exactly, it's clear that we need a proper CB, GK and backup LB heading into next season and yet there are no serious links to any of those positions. I'm surprised that the club hasn't bid on Guehi at Palace (hope he doesn't get signed by Liverpool).

Played about 10 games for them and managed to get a league goal as well. Don't think he'll be playing for Chelsea anytime soon but he's on the books
