Franck Kessié

Isn't coming. Won't happen now.

 

Like I said, no one's coming in the winter. NO ONE. This window is good for the midtable/bottom table teams.

Can't even imagine that we leave the window without wing-backs backups and with only 3 AMs. Blow waiting to happen.

Problem is we need actual starting quality players not squad players. We need to be looking for better players then Moses/Alonso/Pedro/Willian.

This season the current starting XI will do, we will win the league anyway. But for next season we need to be looking at upgrades to certain positions, this is a job for summer. Luckily this season we have Ake as cover for the left side, but he's still a wildcard because we don't know how good he actually is in that system. And for the right side we have Aina, Ivanovic and Azpi covering. This will have to do until the end of the season, which isn't far away anymore.

Yeah, this season we're just gonna have to make due with what we've got. Just hope we don't get hit with injuries.

Iva covering fills me with confidence.

Taking players in from sold players we are only £20 mill in the red so its not a case that we shouldnt be able to maybe go over what we would think would be right specially for a player that would greatly benifit the team.

And we have managerd to buy some OK players in Jan  before. Iva,Cahill,Anelka

On the other hand we got Torres (Who you do have to agree had some great games for us amongst the shite)

Atalanta take Kessie off the market

Atalanta have rejected €25m from PSG and Chelsea for Franck Kessie, because they think his value will increase in six months.

According to Sky Sport Italia, the Orobici are turning down all offers for the Ivory Coast midfielder.

Over the last 24-48 hours, that included proposals worth €25m plus bonuses from Paris Saint-Germain and Antonio Conte’s Chelsea.

This seems to be because his current club believes Kessie will only get stronger and therefore be worth more.

He only turned 20 last month and this is his debut Serie A season, contributing seven goals and two assists in 17 competitive games.

Atalanta already sold Roberto Gagliardini to Inter for somewhere in the region of €28m, while Juventus have snapped up defender Mattia Caldara for 2018.

Kessie is returning from international duty after the Ivory Coast went out of the Africa Cup of Nations, so will be back in action this weekend.

The Sky Sport Italia report suggests the Bergamo side has faith the ‘new Yaya Toure’ will be worth closer to €30m by the end of the season.

He has also been linked with Juventus, Inter, Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United.
