According to an agent representing Milan or the player more like.

My brother supports Milan, so I watch most of their games with him. I can tell you that this guy is very very good, and the main reason for that is how complete he is as a midfielder.

Yeah bit of Essien similarities.

How many signings do you think we need in the summer?

Depends on what formation we go with. However, I would say the following:

1 x CF - Probably the biggest need owing to our lack of goals. 

1 x No.6 (if we keep 3atb) that isn't funsized. Still could do a bigger CM. If we kept 3atb, I would look at SMS. 

1 x DMF (if we move back to a back 4). Not sure who we would go for but this would be needed as our midfield do not put up enough resistance in a 4. 

1 LCB - This one is less of a need than it looked a couple of months ago. Has potential to be solved by either Guehi or Sarr. 

Those however are some tough positions to get. At CF it is very unlikely we woulf get Håland and after that even someone like DCL would be nigh on impossible. 

A CM/DMF should be achievable but the issue is the amount of players we have here already. At the moment, we have: Kova, Jorgi, Kante, Billy, Baka, Drinky, RLC, Barkley, Gallagher. Going to have to sell at least two or three and loan couple before we can think about buying. 

LCB - This is just generally a tough position to recruit for as everyone wants one and there are only a few of them about of the right level. Lets see what happens.

What about Botman from Lille 6ft 4 left footed beast?

3 or 4

We need a proper LB backup, because Alonso and Emerson are just not good enough. I hope both of them leave this summer. We also need a CB, a strong presence at the back. A DM is vital, because Kante is the only defensive minded midfielder we have and he needs a backup. The most important one is the striker position because Werner is just unreliable, we need a topclass striker to compete with him.

I think we only need currently only a new striker if Tuchel does not want to give Tammy a fair chance and a creative player in midfield that can create something. Our Defense is solid right now and both Guehi and Ampadu are still coming back.

A championship level CB and a CB playing for a relegated premier league club going to solve our defensive woes?

Tuchel, will, not if, will go to a back 4 at some point once our formation is sussed out. As it inevitably will. NO ONE, bar Silva, can play in a back 4.

You talked as if we are only hunting for Haaland (or whichever striker out there) because Tuchel doesn't fancy Abraham and the manager of this club has a complete say when it comes to transfers. There were already rumors that we want Haaland before Tuchel even took over and rumors about Abraham doesn't fancy staying at the club because we want to sign Haaland.

What kind of defensive woes do we currently have? AC playing like a WC player and Thiago Silva is still WC. Who else is there that would really improve us? Gimenez? He is always injured. 

I don't see currently a reason to go back to a back 4. We won titles with that formation

We have also won titles with a back 4, more times than with a back 3.

Gary Cahill also played for a then to-be-relegated bolton when we signed him in January 2012. In four months, he was Champions League and FA-cup winner, playing key role in both and in the forthcoming years he pretty much won everything with the club. 
 

Both Ampadu and Cahill will play in bigger club then their current ones, hopefully it will be Chelsea.

You're not wrong but one slight difference though, Cahill at least already had years of experience in the Premier League when we signed him. Guehi doesn't have it yet while Ampadu only has a bit of it.

😂

I'd love to see you post with this much confidence when we start playing a back 4 again. The system will be found out. It's the very reason why Tuchel isn't strict on one formation.

Come next season once teams have figured out how to suss our formation, Tuchel goes to a back 4 + Silva out injured, will you still optimistic then? We may have won titles with that formation but it wasn't sustainable, as the very next season proved.

Cahill was 26 and premier league proven. Guehi and Ampadu are 20 and the latter still doesn't have a full premier league season under his belt. Also, you remember the very next season once DiMatteo tried to play progressive football vs protecting our back line? Shambles.

2 Signings needed....

ST

CB

No chance it is City. Dias, Laporte and Stones are all doing great. Laporte on the bench is already a problem, imagine + Varane. And Ake will be back.

Liverpool will have VVD, Gomez back next season. Plus Matip, Fabinho can play there, they will sign Kabak.

Spurs, Arse are too small for Varane after Real.

If he comes to PL it will be us or United.

[MoroccanBlue 5,306]

Liverpool will likely offload Matip as he and Gomez are far too injury prone. Reckon they are in the race as well.
