Only loans... Can we sell someone ffs?

I see this summer most outgoings will be loans. There's simply not enough activity in the market to get satisfactory prices for some of the players we want to dispose of.

If the market and finances begin to stabilise over this season, it will hopefully be easier to sell players next summer.

Skriniar plus £25m and we can talk

lolol

then Rice would cost (just subtracting that cash) around £45m or so net

plus Rice would be under zero pressure to slot over to CB

as we would have Thiago and Skriniar, plus Rudiger, and Zouma (sell AC ffs) at CB

Hope not because Skriniar is bad at aerial duels. He only won 55% of his aerial duels last season and he regressed in that regars because he used to have 61% success. Rüdiger wins 59% of his aerial duels, Zouma wins 73% and Van Dijik wins 76%.

what is Upamecano's rate?

Gimenez wins 75% of his aerial duels because of his timing and great body positioning. Upamecano wins 60% of his aerial duels.

Nothing wrong with loans. Most of these guys are on long contracts. Get some loan fee income, gives them a chance to do well and improve to either make a team or raise their value. Plus the market is shit (hence we have been able to do a lot of the business we have). It's a buyers market. Next year may not be the case and we get more for some of these assets.

Skriniar is not a 'must have' at all for me, not after he has regressed (although some of that is on Conte and his system)

that aerial duel win rate for Upemecano is not great

 

the overall state of CB's in football is sort of dire atm

Varane is in a rut

VVD even has not played that well since the bindippers went on that slump (he still is the best in the world though IMHO)

after thsoe two, a big drop

Koulibaly also struggled last season and is soon 30

Alaba was hardly ever a CB for ages (Pep did play him there a bit) until recently

José Giménez has an annoying injury history

de Ligt has played better as of late, but is still not at the level he should be

Lucas Hernández is a massive question mark due to his huge injury plague as of late

Ibrahima Konaté (Lucas H's situ on steroids)

Niklas Süle (injuries as well, for ages)

Magiure is meh IMHO

Davinson Sánchez is meh as well, but better than Maguire and I cetainly would take him here for a cheap price (cheap price will never happen, lolol)

Clément Lenglet slumped as well

Deigo Carlos has played well most of the time BUT he is too rash, so hard pass

 

the main ones (in terms of large cost rating) playing well are (no order)

Marquinhos (and he is now at DMF a lot)

De Vrij

Upamecano

Romagnoli

Alessandro Bastoni

Ginter

Caglar Söyüncü (but he slumped a bit too towards the end, as did all the Leicester team)

Rúben Dias <<< I simply have not watched him enough, but he has looked oki when I did

 

assuming we are talking about the next 5 years

so not just Thiago's two seasons we will get out of him

who are your CB targets, if you even have any? (I did not mention Rice at CB, and we have Sarr, Tomori, and Ampadu out on loan)

I don't know much about this guy but the Inter fans seem to love him. They say he is criminally underrated.

[Pizy 18,368]

Yeah, Brozovic is a good player who apparently has a nonstop workrate. But I wouldn't swap him for Kante.

Only way I'd (reluctantly) let Kante go is if we brought Thiago Alcantara in. And we all know that ain't happening

Nico Schira reporting we are in talks for Declan Rice offering 45ME 5 year contract

[Unionjack 7,531]

Some of these sites crack me up. Do they think we WANT to keep him on the books. Turning him into a millionaire Doing absolutely sod all? Who do they think will want him that could afford the price tag that will obviously be put on his head let alone pay his wages in Covid times or not. He wont be in no rush to go anywhere soon  29, 2 years left on his contracr at £5.2m a year!. Let it run out and do a couple years in the States. Hes not daft.

Wonder what's going on with Mendy. Sounded like it was basically a done deal last weekend. Nothing since.

They want 30 million pounds. Takes time
