24. Reece James

Brilliant again yesterday -hard to believe he's only 19

Yes but he lost us the game though. Still a Great Performance considering the fact that Azpi and Alonso make these mistakes all the time.

Overpaid Calum and set an unrealistic precedent?

At one point the offer to Calum was reported to be £9m a year. Later reports put it at £5m a year. Both numbers are too high, one of them obscenely so.

[Jase 43,479]

That resulted in this...ouch!

I was sure that there was some fracture. The TV did not want to take any detailed shot and they were even giving us pictures of the whole stadium from one corner so you could guess something was not right. Hopefully Burn will recover quickly.

How did he play ? I sadly could not see the match

Imho he was our poorest player.

Not good defensively and going forward not one ball into the box went to a Chelsea player. Weak shot when given space and a free kick that went straight out of play.

Still very young, so by no means giving up on him, but out of all our young players he's been the one who's not really shown anything yet.

Just doesn't look ready for us yet, so a loan to another Premiership team might be best for him.

Come on guys, Reece James was pretty good during that game - check player ratings as case in point, and do not forget CHO is 19 and just back from serious injury. Be patient.

agreed

if we are all going to start slating Reece too

that means ALL FOUR of our fullbacks are shit

I still rate the hell out of him

still would love to ditch the other 3 (we should be able to get about £80-85m for the 3)

and bring in

RB Tim Castagne from Atalanta or Nordi Mukiele from RB Leipzig (around £25-30m for either, Nordi might, might be able to be done now, not sure, but they do have cover, great cover there in one of the top RB's in the world in Lukas Klostermann and then multiple backup options)

LB Alex Telles can be done now £33m release clause

LB Chilwell (sounding like £70m, not the full 80m will be enough this summer)

 

net spend around £50m (hell make it £70m to give leeway) total for three massive upgrades

multiple clubs want Emerson, Alonso, and Azpi so selling is no issue, other than pricing

but no

we will fuck about

and get none

I have next to zero faith in the board

According to that, James is close to agreeing a new 5-year contract.

Our only future world class youngster, hopefully this is signed as soon as possible.

I think CHO has potential to become world class too.
