Selling Madueke for right price could be a great move. We have Neto, Estevao and also Palmer able to play there. Also this kid from Portugal is coming next year. Rather invest money in new LW or even two of them.

This Nusa kid is looking great everytime I see him play LW. Because for some reason I think he plays wingback for Leipzig?

Plus, Ekitike is very poor in physical duels and has played his worst matches against teams that sit in a low block. On the other hand, Delap is physically excellent and outstanding at holding up the ball. The stereotype that he can only play in transition is also laughable—probably because he plays for Ipswich and didn’t really have another option? He’s still a product of City’s academy, which is based on possession play, and he’s mostly played against low blocks. He also gets his shot off very quickly (his ratio between first touch and shot is very good and fast), and he doesn’t overdo the number of touches to prepare a shot (like Jackson or Ekitike). I’m not saying Delap is "the next big thing," but he’s certainly not that much worse—if at all—than the other players mentioned. What gives me optimism is also his similarity to Vardy—he’s a tough, relentless player, which might be exactly what our team is lacking.

I am in London for the weekend, can anyone help me with the tickets for the match? Thank you in advance 😊

Time to focus on another attacker now, preferably left footed winger? Who is out there?? Pedro Neto seems back to his best after injury and still very young and semi proven in PL. Bowen is probably out of question with his price being too high? Leao plays the same position as Sterling so it doesnt make much sense. Diaby is interesting from Bayer. Maybe cheeky punt on McNeil from Burnley?

Bowen, Pedro Neto, Berardi ... Dybala 🤔?

Raphinha alternative? Bowen, Gnabry or Antony?

What about PL proven players in smaller sides instead of some one season wonders from German, France... CB: Salisu, Coady LB: Cucurella, Ait Nouri, Thomas RB: Livramento* CM: Gallagher*, Rice, Bissouma RW/LW: Raphinha, Bowen, Sarr ST: Calvert Lewin, Broja*

There was a lot of talk about Said Benrahma and our winger depth if or when Willian leaves. What about Sarr, Fraser or Buendia?

No need to push for Oblak, we have other issues to solve first. Rather bring some 2nd GK that can push Kepa and can be trusted as a 1st choice if Kepa continuous with his "fiasco". Someone like Pope or Dubravka. I still think Kepa can improve with better defenders in front of him ... confidence works wonders for goalkeepers I am interested why are we linked with big money move for Chillwell when Digne is much cheaper and probably better in every aspect of the game?

What about Lucas Digne as LB option?

I always rated Jordan Amavi very highly He was a bright light in that poor Villa side in 2015/2016 ...

I think it could be the same as Hudson Odoi. He was holding his achilles and ankle didn't roll at all...

I am afraid that he will not play some more matches than just final..

If our transfer ban is lifted we have to go beast mode!

Apart from Hazard and Kante where else are we superior to them?

Only way that Sarri can gain my support is if he decides to rotate underperforming players. I am still hoping that Europa league squad was a rotation squad and we will see stronger eleven on monday. Kepa Zappa/Azpi - Rudiger - Christensen - Emerson Kante - Kovacic - Barkley/Willian CHO - Higuain - Hazard

I will judge Sarri based on next few games. I will blame current results on players but now it's up to Sarri. If he keeps playing underperforming players than he needs to go.

If we really want attacking football to succeed than we have to back up Sarri the way City backed Guardiola. - Pulisic - Keep Hazard - New full backs on both sides (upgrades to current starters) - Get rid of deadwood (Alonso, Luiz, Willian, Pedro, Barkley, Drinkwater) - Extend Higuain loan, we can't afford to overhaul whole team in one window - Try RLC in that nr. 10 position until end of the season. We have to see if he is good enough, otherwise we need new attacking midfielder (Sarabia?) This would be first steps in right direction.

This kind of attitude and mistake would cost Christensen his Chelsea career but Luiz will be straight back in first 11 for Huddersfield ...

Just calm down please! First there was a strong link with Paredes and everyone was skeptical about it - is he really a player for Chelsea; is he good enough and so on. Than he signs for PSG and everyone goes mad about our board being stupid for not buying him. I think that our board is starting to learn something from a lot of "bad" transfers in last years. If there is no quality midfielder available in January transfer window than we should just offer those backup minutes to our youngsters (RLC and Ampadu in this case). We don't lack depth in midfield - Jorginho, Kante, Kovacic, Barkley, RLC, Ampadu and even Luiz. Wait for summer and try to bring quality midfielder that will suit Sarri and will actually add something to this squad. Same thing about Piatek. Less than one year ago this guy was not even a top scorer in Ekstraklasa and now everyone goes mad about him because he is on fire at the moment? Even for 30M, he IS a gamble, even though he scored 2 on his debut. Remember Batshuayi? Of course you do, he was on fire in Ligue 1, scoring for fun and being one of the best scorers in Ligue 1 (behind Ibra and Cavani I think). Higuain is not a gamble, he is on loan and we can just send him back in the summer and focus on new long term striker. I don't want to be disrespectful but Fabio Quagliarella is currently setting Serie A on fire, so this should tell you enough about this league quality. If we are taking a gamble, I would rather take it on Luka Jović.

I have to agree on this one, I am pretty mad on him myself. This kid is only 18y old and he played decent minutes under NEW manager. He is starting to get much more recognition from Sarri as season develops, that makes sense - you can't blame Sarri for not playing 18y kid right from the start.

I think Mount is ideal for Barkley role and that position is there to grab. Neither Barkley or Kovacic are creative and offensive enough for that position... Kovacic is more suited for Kante (b2b) position imo. Ampadu on the other hand is better midfielder than cb, what do you think?

Who will score more goals - Piatek in Milan, Morata in Atletico or Higuain in Chelsea? My bet is on Higuain, he will score more than other two combine
