Cesc Fàbregas

That's a fair point. We simply do not know for sure if he (Malcom) is or isnt the truly real deal. Maybe we just buy him outright, for the same £37m that Barca paid (seems a fair price) IF they go for it. I am kind of sure they want Willian so much they wont do business if he is not included, though.

The only truly guaranteed upgrades at RW

'are

Mbappe (only way this ever happens is with a new mega billionaire owner) - Still won't.  More valuable to PSG than Neymar, IMO

Salah obviously will not happen - Nope

Bale  too expensive now for his age - I hope not, I don't want him here at all, I think he's overrated.

Bernardo Silva (like Sterling, will NEVER happen, unless Shitty get a massive ban over their cheating, I will do a nakie dance down my street if Shitty get smashed so bad they break up their current club and Pep leaves) - We missed out.  He was exactly what we needed.

Ousmane Dembélé (can player either wing), this is who we really should perhaps make a move for, BUT I cannot see the board spending this type of money - Neither can I.

Federico Chiesa (can play both wings) - Haven't seen much of him, but Sarri rates him very highly, and I'm on board with what I've seen

Federico Bernardeschi - Same

Jadon Sancho (can play RW as well, but more of a LW) - Not ready yet, IMO.  Not better than Willian right now

Leon Bailey (needs to get his head on straight) - and get new representation.  His step dad looks like a nightmare.

Nicolas Pépé - ???

Wilfried Zaha - I'd like him to come, can't have too many HG players who actually contribute.

Christian Pulisic - Is he better than Willian right now?

then 5 possibles

maybe Suso, - looks good for the money.

maybe Malcom - made a massive mistake by going to Barca.  Should have gone to Roma. 

maybe Florian Thauvin - No, no no, no.

maybe Hirving Lozano - I like how direct he is.  He's like Pulisic though, is he really better than Willian right now?

maybe Iñaki Williams - He's interesting.  Surprised that he isn't linked more, or Muniain.

 

I thinks that's about it for truly top class, plug n play RW'ers, and some of those are never gonna happen

Responses above:  Really, it's Dembele if we can do a swap with Willian (plus cash, obv) or Zaha.

I'm surprised you never bring up Depay.  He's really doing well at Lyon.  Can play striker or either wing.  Certainly don't have to worry about him losing confidence.

The Manure debacle still is fresh in my mind, but sure, toss him into the possibles

Pepe is another French winger who is on fire

Memphis Depay's attitude stinks but his talent is indispensable for Lyon

He reminds me of Ousmane Dembélé What you think?

Watching Demebele now, he started off bright, then went silent, now is coming on a bit. Suarez is telling him instructions the whole game. He looks lost at times, but you can see his potential. Pepe seems a wee bit more physical at times, but yes, they are really similar. I would love either. I think Pepe over Malcom atm. With Demebele its all about the price. Barca paid just silly money, 145m euros if all add-ons are met.

Malcom is on the bench tonight,  hope he gets in for a cameo. Probably not. Good tactical game.

Malcom is on now.

[Vesper 28,830]

Wow. Malcom just probably won the game with first touch. Brilliant goal.

[Vesper 28,830]

Icardi tied it up. He is fucking amazing in last 5, 10 minutes of games.

Further reports of Fàbregas getting closer to AC Milan move in January

[manpe 10,861]

If we sell him and with Sarri saying only Fabregas can play Jorginho's role, who will be backup for Jorgi? Doubt we'd sign anybody meaningful to replace him. Think he's offski in the summer, not January.

We are cray if we sell Cesc at this point, with this squad

He still offers so so so much

You've changed your tune. I'm not 100% sure but I believe you slated him here before, calling for him to be sold because he is past it, doesn't offer anything and is not up to it physically.

If it was not you I apologize. If it was, what made you change your mind? Surely not him having Greenland-sized spaces to pick his passes against 10-men minnows in EL?

 

Cesc must go either in January or in summer, he is not good enough. But first he must be adequately replaced because Sarri doesn't view anybody else fit to deputize Jorginho.

My issue with Cesc was when we tried to force him into the creative AMF role.

We have no one to backup Jorginho at DH DMF. Cesc was never a chief target of mine, many more people have said he is simply too slow and leggy to play at all. My main issues was if we tried to play him out of a realistic position. My main targets for OUT OUT OUT are (and will be) Luiz and Willian. They are shit, pure and simple. Alonso is slow and non productive (at least far more than his boosters claim, he has but one bloody goal all year, all comps) but first things first. We also need a striker (that is so obvious it goes without saying)

I have listed Cesc as a sale many many times, BUT that was always if we were buying a replacement (which I have listed many). I do not think we are buying shit in January, unfortunately, which, IF the bans come in, will be the partial destruction of the club.

I would let him go to Milan in January, his a liability anytime he plays for us in the middle, even against farmers

Milan offered £10m. He is out of contract in 6 months.
