Special Juan

I respect what he has done for this club, he's been very good but also poor at times, but it's time to replace him with someone much better, maybe not so much in his position but elsewhere. Bakayoko will be an excellent purchase IMO, but the money from Matic must be fully invested in this squad quickly.

Conte "Me must avoid a Mourinho season" Brilliant, that will hurt the deluded one that.

Can we please, please replace him with better quality and also start getting some new bodies in this team, we are looking so thin in terms of numbers.

Torres would of fell down the fucking drain.

Missed you mate

Maybe Conte could turn him into the player he wants to be and maximize his ability.

The Ox should be the man we go for, he would be a very good signing.

This would be good if we can get him, hopefully it happens. Media saying Conte spoke with Bayern when we played them and we are interested in him. We so need midfield depth.

Hope so, the squad needs fattening out and quickly.

Being left out of pre season tells you everything about this situation, it's a matter of when and not if. Use the money do not stock pile it.

A lad on another forum i go on reckons Juve are after Telles now too.

If he has another season like he's just had he will be the Mbappe of next years transfer window.

Please also post a translation if you are going to be giving us quotes. Cheers.

Signed a new 4 year deal before hand.

The FA are writing to us asking for Kenedy's observations on the matter. It's serious because he's a poignant figure playing for a huge club that is on a marketing mission to sell a brand in a huge footballing country. He's just been a very silly boy and is now suffering the consequences.

Sounds like City are really pushing for Mbappe now.

He will go to Liverpool eventually.

Start AC as the right sided CB with Azpi as the RWB, Luiz central and Rudiger in place of Cahill, with Alonso left.

I've watched two of our games now and also listened to pundits and commentators on both games and have come to a conclusion... When these players rest for a few weeks for summer and lay in the sun and relax or sail on the posh yachts jumping into the sea, how does it make sense that the commentators/fans say things like "His touch is poor he's been away on holiday and and needs bedding in" Is this for real? These players don't actually lose touch and ability to control a ball because of a 2 week holiday? These pre season excuses get worse every year.

Today wasn't, nor should it of been an eye opener for anyone, the glaring deficiencies were there from last season. Alonso, Moses, Matic and Cahill need upgrading on. Yes we have bought Rudiger but the problem being now is IMO we have dropped a massive mistake giving Cahill the armband, it makes him nigh on undroppable yet he's miles away from the level we need, he will get ripped to shreds in the CL as well as the wing backs. The squad is worryingly thin, I hope these reports of four more players are correct, because we need it big time.

If we are to be anything of a threat or even compete as much as possible then both sides need mass improvement.

It needs to happen, I hope to god it does, we so need a world class LB.

It's like an example of what can happen with injuries and suspensions in the season coming. The squad needs strengthening quickly, we need more depth and quality, upgrades on Alonso, Moses are needed and Matic too. Forget the score in this game for one second and just focus fully on the squad and it's miles from the top european teams which is where we need to be at.

There is only so much you can do with what we have. Players like Cahill, Alonso, Moses, Matic etc need to be upgraded on if we are to get to the levels of Bayern, Madrid and Barcelona, which is why this window was and is so massively important.
