Instead I think we'd be better off getting an extra midfielder for the pivot this summer. If we can add one to Kante, Jorginho and Kovacic I think we're strong across the board then with the depth of pretty much 2 first team players for every position.

Can we get a midfielder who is actually not going to keep on passing sideways or backwards? 

[Magic Lamps 11,452]

Kounde who? 2 almost perfect performances and he might have saved us 80m 

What a debut at the bridge und you could see what it means to him. 
surley undroppable for the next match

I think the confidence and passing range in Jorginho's game has gone up a notch in recent times.

Personally I think we need a more defensive minded midfielder for the balance of the squad.

we are insane if we drop £88m on Kounde

we need to renew Rudiger and add

DMF (Aurélien Tchouaméni please, and thus we has not huge pressure on him and we have NO ONE like him atm)

CMF next summer (Nicolò Barella please)

if we do not sell Alonso, then we are fine at LB for this season, next season buy Theo Hernandez

we are oki at RB too I think (although for some reason, IF he is cheap, I am actually intrigued with Adama as wingback experiment now or next summer, I know I know I am going to get KILLED on here for that, lolol)

still would LOVE to make an insanely hard run at Mbappe (I doubt he leaves this summer now that Messi came) next summer too

my dream is now Håland at PSG or Bayern next summer, Mbappe here next summer, and Real and Barca FUCKED OUT of any huge inbound players (unless it is Kane, lol, and I think he goes to Citeh anyway, now or next summer which is an eek)

 

GK terrifies me if Mendy goes down, and then when Mendy goes to fucking AFCON

Kepa better play well

 

summer 2022 top ten need players on my board (assumes we buy Aurélien Tchouaméni now, if not then he goes here too)

Kylian Mbappé  
Federico Chiesa    (literally the only REMOTELY available winger who interests me, unless you count Mbappe as a winger)
Sergej Milinković-Savić   
Jan Oblak   (by far the best remotely available keeper, proabay best keeper period, doubt we do it, but it is what it is)
Nicolò Barella   (my number one MF'er want next summer)
Alessandro Bastoni  (my number one CB want)  
Jude Bellingham  
Youri Tielemans  
Theo Hernández 
Eduardo Camavinga

absolutely agree, his passing has been far more progressive

deffo should look at him IF we simply refuse to buy Theo

Is he ready? I don’t believe so, but let’s keep in mind he will be training with Lukaku, Werner, Kai.. literally every type of striker every single day.

Great performance and obviously it’s brilliant for us to see academy players who get their head down get their rewards. Guehi, Livramento, Bate etc etc “no route to first team ffs”

 

 

guehi was no loss at present, IMHO.

Livramento may well be. The RB pool out there that is actually available is so shit atm.

 

top ten most valuable RB's on T-Markt atm

this is why I was so gutted over the non grab of Hakimi (who I would SO take over TAA, as TAA is shite on defence) and then Livramento bouncing out

 

👍🏽

Just noticed there's two Trevor Chalobah threads...

[NikkiCFC 7,595]

Great thing now with him and Lukaku we became so dominant in the air. 

Chalobah, Rudiger, Christensen/Silva, Havertz and Lukaku. 5 tall players for every set piece on both ends. And if we play Alonso that is another one. We basically become best team in this. 

Our top 3 set piece takers didn't start yesterday (Ziyech, Chilwell and James) so nothing happened but it will come.

Based on his two performances so far -  yes, he must stay with us. Continue to be more consistent this way and we have unearthed a gem here.

Same was said of RLC and Tomori. 

He has done good, but I'm cautiously optimistic

Same here, however I thought Tomori did well with us. It's just that Lampard disliked him.

One of the many mysteries

I think he suits RCB pretty well based on what we have seen so far including pre-srason. 

His athleticism and use of/comfort on the ball is good for that position but still it’s different playing on the right side of a 3 as opposed to in central midfield in a 2 or a 3 so can understand why Tuchel maybe has his doubts or wants to see him kick on a bit before trying him there.
