He'll get into trouble here and there if he's isolated by a pacey forward player but more often than not he won't allow himself to get into those situations. I'm extremely curious who his CB partner will be. Skriniar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can finally get Havertz over the line (which I'm still nervous as fuck about) and can get even a solid, not even spectacular keeper this will be the greatest transfer window in our history. Perfect blend of young talent who are not even near their primes yet and veterans who have seen it all. And we can have most of our business done and dusted before some big clubs even do anything of note. Liverpool have signed a backup LB. City have signed a couple of decent but not top class players. Arse have signed 32 year old Willian and are about to sign an uncapped Brazillian who was wanted by nobody else but Everton really. Spuds have signed an average midfielder from Southampton. United have signed nobody at all. If all these signings click from the start we have something special. With every signing we make, the pressure on Lampard increases like 10x more than before to get things right this coming season. No more struggling to finish in the Top 4, have to finish comfortably in there and close the gap on the top two as well as maybe win at least one of the cups.

NikkiCFC 8,336 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Great. Happy about Silva. I was more concerned about PSG giving him suddenly a new contract but now he confirmed he is leaving so no chance Fiorentina win race against us. Surely his best pal David Luiz told him some good stuff about us. And this is the reason why we fans should always treat ex players with respect.

They bought two new CBs but he will definitely be a regular guest at Babbo. In fact, he was already there. Vesper and Muzchap 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No excuses for us this season if these moves materialize. Winning the title I think will still be beyond us simply due to having basically a whole new team. City and Liverpool are the finished article after years of building. So they'll still be the top 2 most likely. The season will be grueling due to COVID so those teams that are more gelled will benefit. But as you say, we should be comfortably finishing in the CL places with multiple games to spare. And making a deep run in the CL (like last 8 or better). Tomo and 0007 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First you think these two are all but done, and if this drags for another week or two, you will panic like with Kai.

Switched from the more expensive Jamal Lewis to that greek fella as well. I mean it's understandable. He only has a year left on his contract and he's 29 yo. Only wants to join Liverpool so it's not like Bayern have much leverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
