BoyBlue96 990 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Pretty stupid from Schalke no? They can either catch some cash for him now, or he leaves as a free agent in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosnian Blue 2,471 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Baba Rahman is injured and if they lose Kolasinac they wont have any left-backs in the team. Though the money we are offering is more than good for a player with 6 months left to play for Schalke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eidur the Spider 4,515 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 #CFC thought there was an agreement for Kolasinac for €6m, but #S04 after the defeat at the weekend have decided to keep him (via @DiMarzio) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have lots of those type of players, Courtois, Azpi, Kante, Hazard and Costa are all in the top 5 maybe even 3 in the world in their position (you could argue Luiz of this season falls into that category too). Apart from Bayern, Real and Barca who have more bonafide world class players in their squad than we do? Ofcourse if we can add more of that profile of player to us great but its not that we lack, what we lack is serious strength in depth, ok the lads mentioned above we will be weaker if they are out, they are special players and we can't have on par waiting in the wings but we should have depth/competition/rotation options that can fill in for and compete with Moses, Alonso, Matic and Cahill without the team weakening, and right now we only have Willian and Cesc on the bench (Zouma when upto speed, hopefully Ake too) with the quality to make a real difference at this level, it won't be enough for Europe.

Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Really really wished the reports linking us to Ghoulam were true... guess that transfer couldn't be done in January. Don't know much about this kid... hopefully he lives up to the hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah agree but if we are looking at going forward , lwb we need someone better than Alonso(done well don't get me wrong) and i don't know how much better Sead would be or equal to if thats why he is been mentioned. But yeah with Oscar,Mikel,looks like Ivan leaving a small squad has gotten smaller and abit of a gamble to go end of season without adding ?! Ake ,and keeping Kennedy+Musonda wouldn't be the worse thing in the world 4sure. With 16 prem games and hopefully 4 Fa cup games left lets hope we get lucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And hope we are lucky with injuries/suspensions in positions we are thin in. Turning down the supposed approach from Bournmouth for Nate is a must to start with. That gives us three senior players able to function at LB/LWB, plus Kennedy if things get desperate. Not ideal I agree, but adding a player who is, in my opinion, inadequate is not going to improve the situation. The immense difficulty recruiting players currently is highlighted by just how few Premier League deals have gone through since this window opened. Although there are a number of players who would be excellent Alonso upgrades, none of them are available so let's keep our powder dry for the summer. The market then will be even more competitive then than it is now so, if we plan signings, we are going to need powder by the ship load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesman2610 1,423 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Watching him currently vs Bayern Munich and he is the LWB that we want.. Definitely upgrade on Alonso - and for free in summer we have to go all in for him. He's built like a tank has pace and some good technique as well has Robben in his pocket so far for this match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why haven't we done that? Because we are not interested me thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
