Alex Telles with a brilliant assist tonight, we have not had a left back who could have done it since Ash

4 goals, 7 assists on the season already

15 goals, 50 assists now with Porto in just 3 and a half seasons

add one to 19/20

this tweet is a year old

15 more assists since then

Sancho should definitely be priority #1 of course but Lamps clearly wants reinforcements in January. Sancho looks increasingly impossible next month. That's the calculated risk the club have to really think about. Do you wait until the summer, hope that what we have now is enough to make top 4, and risk missing out on him anyways? Or do you go in and get someone (Zaha) with less fuss now?

I'm just trying to imagine a scenario in which Dortmund would agree to sell in January and the only way I can think of is if someone offers a ludicrous fee like 120m or something. They're within touching distance of the top of the Bundesliga table and are through to the last 16 of the CL. Why sell your best attacking player now?

I know you're only talking about the situation in general but if you think 120 million is enough for Dortmund to sell Sancho, especially in January, then you're having a laugh.

Pulisic and Kovacic's purchases, for example, were very smart and wise. Young people of great talent and some experience, reasonable prices within the current reality, movements to applaud.

This is the line we have to follow. Being smart, acting in advance, not letting ourselves be driven by impulses.

Reading Zaha's name every day is almost like cutting my wrists. It would be the most ridiculous purchase possible

Not implying anything about Zaha here or against you but it's funny to see people suddenly made a 180 degrees turn on Pulisic after so many deemed him average, bad, a marketing signing etc early on.

I don't know who you mean about that from Pulisic.
Certainly there were those who didn't know him well.
The vast majority of people do not watch much more than their club games and other big shark games.

With Pulisic I even have a funny / sad anecdote, I was present when an Iberian club refused him when he was there testing, I was amazed that I had no doubt about his talent and the future that awaited him.

He is a great player, with talent but also something that is very important for a great player, has a personality and professionalism that will allow this great career.

Buying ZAHA for £80 million with Batsman on the bench would be 'the final shot' for me as it comes to trust in our board/management. 

Zaha has 2 goals & 2 assists in 1375 minutes this season. Michy has 1 goal & 2 assists in 96(!!!!!) minutes => 10 games, coming from the bench 10 times with only 4 games where he got more than 10 minutes. 

On top of that he's 1 year older than Michy ! 

If they push through on him, this would the XXX th time that I'm totally mindblown on how the club's transfer policy works ... I'm out

The Donkeywater buy had me out on a ledge once I saw the price and his insane salary.

Cole endorses Chilwell...

And Cole mentioned he heard Chilwell is a Chelsea fan...

A sweetener for the Zaha deal...

I don't mean you obviously but just go to his thread, especially during the early parts of this season, and you will see.

Can we do swap deal with Dortmund? 

Boris for Sancho

BoJo can take over for Merkel when she retires. Maybe he can hypnotise  Deutschland  into a Germexit to join us in our soon to be misery. He is a blonde devil after all.

I don't care about what the goal records say, Michy is crap in any situation bar emergency last ditch super sub and i can't believe anyone who's regularly watched him are still defending him or wants him playing even semi regularly.

There's a reason he's only got more than 10 minutes four times.

I still think it's the price we are most anger for Zaha. 

However if CP want Giroud and we can do a deal with Giroud plus cash for Zaha then I don't think we will be outrage.

Giroud plus 40 million for Zaha will be good. Something a long those lines.

They want 80m for Zaha. Giroud with 6 months left on contract in January will cost 6-7m max due to his age.

40m plus Batshuayi is a fair deal for Zaha I think.

No idea why people are comparing Zaha to Batshuayi anyway. Ones a very decent winger (still better out there for 80m) and ones one of the worst all round CFs in the PL imo.

If the ball isnt in the box or straight into his feet 9/10 times he is about as effective as a chocolate ashtray. People say Sergio Aguero hasnt got a very good all round game (not sure I agree) but fucking hell if thats the case then whats it say about Batshuayi. Hopeless.

Id imagine Palace would prefer Giroud to Batshuayi anyway. Least you get more.

Well then let's just sell them giroud but buying zaha for 80 is a stupid idea. 

I hope we are not that daft to do something like this.
