We had Chalobah who could fill that squad role and many pointed that out. Obviously the player has to be talented or good, otherwise whats the point of buying them? There are always fair priced options we could target. Players like Davies, Robertson,...are always out there but our scouts never seem to find them or the management doesnt have faith (Salah, Kdb). Then you mix one or two from youth and finaly a few world class players. Some will be more and some less affordable. I invite you to go read the first few pages of his thread to refresh your memory. Your own post, i quote: "Welcome Danny. I think he is going to be useful additon and depth option to our squad, nevermind being english. However his quality, it says alot Leicester was looking for improvement over him for two years now in Silva. He is decent player, nothing more. I dont expect him to do anything beside basic, but he is reliable and used to PL, so he will hold his ground hopefuly. Still kudos for choosing us and accepting side role. But 35m pounds for a player thats neither already great nor has potential, IMO way too much. Yes english and all, but keep in mind City bought Delph for 8m two years ago for basicaly same reasons. Transfer makes sense, Danny is alright player, but that fee...plain awful. " So yeah basically what i said earlier, that most fans were OK/happy with the transfer. Some happy about it, some more reserved (like you), but almost nobody was 100% against it. You will also see most people preferred him to Chalobah. I agree selling KDB was a mistake, but again easier to say now that he is a world beater. When we sold him his potential was obvious for everyone to see, but a £20M fee was good business. Salah was just not good enough when we sold him, it made perfect sense to sell. Fairplay to him though, he put the work in and drastically improved. You have reservations about Ziyech, Werner and Havertz (fair enough you are entitled to your opinion), but again who would you have fancied the club to purchase?

R2D2 368 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Worrying that the dregs are still here, hope we offload least Emerson, Barkley and Drinkwater before the transfer period ends. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked poor the last game I saw him play, he is 29 in around 5 months (even though that age means nothing short term for GKers, his fees being talked about are high for that age) his distribution is meh, he has very little big game experience (no European experience and only 2 years top flight experience), and he is an African Senegal national team player (now is their starter atm) so we lose him for a month or so when AFCON starts (even though that is not right away, it is 3 of the next 4 years after this season). He is very tall (1.98m), on the plus side. killer1257, Atomiswave and Supermonkey92 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,897 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Doesn't look like there's any scenario in which Kepa isn't our starting keeper for at least the first match or two. Doesn't Mendy currently have COVID? So if he is the one we buy you have that to deal with for who knows how long. Feels like a new keeper should probably not have been left so late.

Don't forget Bats, Zappacosta, Baba and Jorginho btw, if we are talking about big money spends who need to be flushed ASAP. Kepa is going to be a nightmare too, unless a miracle takes place.

King Kante 1,643 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I have a feeling in my waters that the GK signing will be someone out of left field. I have no evidence for this, I just do not think it will be someone that we necessarily expect. Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
