Pjanic alternative? Sorry but I don't buy it.

I know we're a mess at the moment but we don't go from targeting someone like Pjanic then end up getting someone on a free transfer because it didn't materialise. We were never in for Pjanic.

Maybe all along the £60m transfer budget that was talked about early summer may be true after all, we hit that budget with 1 player and everyone else will be free transfers unless someone goes out.

meanwhile we turn down £65m for a soon to be 30 yo RWer with an attitude problem AND to a non EPL team!!!!!

I get he's free and an area we are short in and probably not a bad player... but we should be going big in that position for some real quality not some backup, we should be pushing Pedro/Willian to be backup and getting someone better.

The sale of either RWF is looking less likely by the day, so don't go expecting much.

I'm not suggesting a sale, I don't want to sell either of them personally. I said we should be buying some quality so Pedro/Willian are pushed to the bench, signing Bernard just cements Willians place even more.

The sale of one of them is the only way I can see us signing anyone of note in that position. One of our scouts was pictured with Bailey when the window opened; We now have less than two weeks of window left.

Just have to hope at this point Mou wants Willian more than Barca did.

[dreamcfc 182]

I think you're right about someone going out but Bailey is not the answer in my opinion. Bags of potential I agree, but he needs more time.

We sell Willian for 65m and spend that on Bailey but then we suffer having to develop him for 2 years before he will bring what Willian does to the team. Rather just keep Willian for another 2 years personally. Maybe in a couple of years my view would change if management was stable etc but taking everything into account, I don't think this is a season we should be gambling on potential.

Brazilian footballers don`t have the exotic names they used to have like Pele,Zico,Socrates,Josimar any more...instead they seem to take their names from 70`s british sitcoms..Fred,Bernard..i say we hold out for Bert and Reg. 

or alternatively rescue Oscar from football wilderness..he may be a good fit for Sarri-ball.

Same thing I've been repeating over and over again... For him to come someone has to leave.

Willian out, Martial in. Bernard in, Morata out. Courtois out, Donnarumma in.

Not what I'd do on the right flank but he is on a free...

Or ralf, miranda etc sound like they took inspiration from the tenant list of a German retiremen home.... wait for Friedhelm and Kunigunde

 

i hate this player Bernard completely useless but if this means Barca tale Willian from us for 70m i would gladly take hum to cut the grass ( he seems the perfect height  for that)  as long as we still sigb a decent winger like Bailey

cant wait for del boy and trigger

Who is that? Is he any good? Not an avid follower of the Ukrainian league 

[Sideshow Luiz 2,310]

So, they want CHO to sign a new deal, and are telling him that he's got a place in the squad.  Then, they want to bring in a right-footed playmaker winger type who likes to play on the left.  Okay.

My god, if this is a Hazard replacement.....
