From second only Ballo. Majority of 2nd group will play for development squad so no problem there. Anjorin is on a way to Russia. Sarr is also close but RLC, Barkley, Baker and Musonda will stay it seems. After tonight they can go to Russia or Turkey. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Superblue_1986 5,225 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 For anyone thinking about moaning about Chelsea's transfers, Barcelona are in the process of offloading Griezmann at a huge loss and bringing in Luuk De Jong to join Bratihwaite to their front line.

Just let that sink in... Worst run club in the world. They lost Messi, Suarez and Griezmann for like 10m... They may get 40m for Griezmann next summer but they payed 120m for him. Arthur-Pjanic swap? WTF? And never used Pjanic. And selling Suarez only for him to bring title to Atletico and now getting also old striker in Aguero? Link to post Share on other sites

They can't always get it right but it shows that even the more reliable sources talk a lot of BS just to attract attention or just have something to say despite often being completely in the dark just as we are. nothing to do with Romano, BUT ALL the major Spanish papers have been proven to be massive liars once and for all and the Real plastics REALLY showed their arses and are now humiliated (unfortunately only temporarily) and French good sources have been proven to be sussed in I speak, of course, about Mbappe ALL the Spanish sources said done deal, blah blah (and that was days ago, like a week ago) I said nope, €215m is the minimum PSG will take, based of my extensive reading and comparing notes and sure enough, PSG ended up turning down €200mand Real gave up they will do a pre-contract more than likely in January, and get him on a free in summer 2022 I have NO idea why Real plastics would be upset about their club saving a fucking HUGE amount of money one season for ANY player, ever, even 1965 level Pele (54 games, 73 goals and that was not even his top year, lol), or 1986 Maradona, 1972 or 1973 Cruyff and Muller, 2012 Messi, etc is not fucking worth 215m euros when you get the same player 9, 10 months later for free Edited September 1, 2021 by Vesper 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Vesper 23,884 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) IF we really want Kounde, then buy him next season as it stands (I would do the final figures in a bit) we are at LEAST £50m IN THE BLACK for this window and still managed to bring in a top 4 or 5 on planet CF and a superb CMF at this exact instant (and counting Mbappe as a CF) these are the best 6 CF's by miles, on the planet, insane drop-off after these 6 (and the last 2 listed are in early mid 30's now) by age: Erling Haaland (21) Kylian Mbappé (22) Harry Kane (28) Romelu Lukaku (28) Robert Lewandowski (33) Karim Benzema (soon 34, in December) Lautaro Martínez is next (he just tuned 24 nine days ago) and is the only one atm who is over 50% likely to go top 5 (after Lewa and Benz fade) Edited August 31, 2021 by Vesper Link to post Share on other sites
