most commenters think lavia is better . Both have just the one year of prem experience too.

Their clubs will up the price if we leave it late if they see the season has started and we don’t have a midfield , they’ll know we are desperate and fleece us vital to get the squad finalised and settled ASAP. As we have a new manager and a young team that will require that little bit of extra work to hit the ground running.

A lot of money for an energetic ball winner. Not unbelievable on the ball and doesn’t score goals. someone posted before that he could easily turn out like Ramires rather than Kanté (good player but wouldn’t break transfer records for him)

So do we overpay or stick to our valuation ?

I’m all for sticking with our price , if Brighton don’t want it then move on. Don’t talk to them all window for nothing

Wait too long and the window to find a replacement is small and they will ask for more. Nothing to be gained by talking about it for 3 months

I’d expect more from someone if they had potential to play for the Chelsea first team. Only 1 goal in 15 Brazil youth games too. Santos was scoring a tonne in them games from defensive midfield

Who said anything about that ? We literally don’t have a midfield as it stands. Unless you want to roll with Carney and Gallagher all year

“Gather pace” it’s barely been moving for several weeks

Bidding / talking who cares. We need to be signing

Of course , this isn’t FIFA. You never just sent random bids over an email we’ve just lost 4 midfielders , so having a teenager join up isn’t gonna be enough. Need 2 more midfielders if not 3, and we need to be quick about it

You really think they are bidding on lots of midfielders and no one knows about it? Clearly they aren’t doing too much. We aren’t spoilt kids , just want them to buy midfielders early enough so there is time to get ready for the season

Because the club is doing fuckall besides signing 17 year olds

Why are we signing forwards who score 3 times in 95 games in a poverty league ?

Giga troll ^

Touching but we need players with actual technical ability. It would be nice to live in some fantasy world where Lampard is the manger , all the players are English. Cheek is flying into tackles , Gallagher scoring from 40 yards etc but it’s not the reality arsenal will find out the hard way, that they pissed away over £100m on an average brexit bum

Gk james fofana colwill maatsen enzo Santos caicedo sterling nkunku mudryk

Thuram pisses all over the cart horse rice

Not surprised they don’t appreciate him . Cart horse cost them the CL

He’s toilet. Fancy version of Eric dier

I’d loan him again if possible

Felix over cherki any day

And the midfield market at this rate

Hall looked pretty bad in midfield last season but good at LB

Hall pisses all over cucarella , im certain maatsen is better too
