If he wants to he a midtable player let him go because right now I would say that is where he is at. Hasnt done anything of note bar the game v Newcastle this season. Loaning him probably best move for both parties, especially if Havertz signs. Cant see Bayern being interested anymore and with a 5 year deal signed we have all the power now in terms of negotiations.

Wasn't that bullshit called out by the more reliable sources within like an hour or two after some hack first reported it? Sky Sports just half a day too late, as usual.

Went a bit under the radar due to Pulisic's impact but I thought he was fantastic when he came on himself.

The way he found Pulisic for the third goal with the ball in the air and him running at speed was sensational, that's end product we simply do not see from Willian (and I'm far from a Willian basher).

He has to start with Pulisic Vs Wolves, even more so if we play 3atb again (as it will put less defensive emphasis on the wingers).

Have to agree. Or even those 2 wide in a 4231 with Willian, who can still offer something, as a 10 and push the wingers up on their right and left sided CBs.

Needs to start against wolves.

Willian looks and feels like he is gassed. To be fair to him, I think he has started and played every minute since restart. It was bound to pile on

[NikkiCFC 8,285]

I never criticized him before because I always thought there was a lot of potential.

And still I am ready to be patient a lot with him and James.

CHO makes things happen, he is creative player.

He is struggling this season but very solid stats.

In PL and CL he played only around 1000 minutes but has 6 assists.

Only Willian, Pulisic and Azpi have more in our team.

I want cho to start to see how he really fare. Quality sub change game big time in current situation and they tend to play very2 well. Short pre season, packed games, you can really tell most starter are exhausted in the end of game. We had ox and yarmalenko scored against us, both are late game sub

Thought he looked alot more like his old self tonight when he came on. He is an intelligent player  if he knuckles down he could be a top player for us.

[Strike 7,474]

Has great chemistry with Reece James and I think that could be a combination that could settle down the right (regardless of new signings)

Of course not, such an important game I much rather start with willian and then get Callum as sub. 

But yes it's good to see Callum getting some match fitness back again.

I think he's looked pretty decent every appearance he's made since SHU all things considered.

It's only the Watford one he looked shaky in.

Agree to disagree. We need our best team out there, which neans players who have not run themselves into the ground in the last month. he can have a week off and then fa cup final.

CHO was impressive last night. He showed he still has a good level of pace, which I was worried about due to his injury, he showed good feet and he made the right decisions. I have always maintained that he was over hyped but he should be a good player if he buckles down. 

For me, next season is very important for him, he needs to at the very least get a good 20 starts and then start to push for a full time starting place by the end of the season/early 2021/22 season. The talent is there for him to be a top 4 club player (and maybe even more) but right now he needs to show the desire and consistency to show he can fulfil that potential.

If we get Kai, thats a bye bye for CHO. He is never getting any regular playtime if there will be Kai, Ziyech, Werner and Pulisic in the squad.

Shame because he could be a super player like CHO.

Kai is great talent, but we have so many options, why dont we fix the defence first? LB, CB, GK and even DM are more important than another AM.

Not really, Kai will be playing in the middle and even with Ziyech signed he'll still be third choice winger at worst, which will lead to a lot of playing time when you consider the packed schedule and injury's. Furthermore, it's easy to forget now Puli's in the best form of his career but there were times last season CHO was outperforming him, infact this time last year he was considered the better prospect. It's also easy to forget he's still only 19, for perspective when Ziyech hits his 30's CHO will be 22 and still a good few years from his own prime. The notion his pathway is blocked couldn't be further from the truth.

Reason we're signing Havertz before defense is you don't say no when these talents become available, theoretically in 2012 we should have ignored Eden and focused on the pivot but i think we can all agree 12 months more of suffering with Rami, Obi and aged Lamps was worth it, we're not winning the league next season so if getting Kai in means we have to wait a year to really plough into the defense then so be it, furthermore if we can get an upgrade on Kepa (even just a quick fix who merely masters the basics) i think we'll be surprised at just how much better/less chaotic things look, even this season we've had many games where we've conceded next to no chances.
