Just noticed that Coman only has 2 years left on his Bayern contract. Another one of those classic ploy of using other clubs to get a better contract..?

Well Giroud is very 50/50. You could let him leave then it is six/seven depending on how CHO is deployed. 

However, again as you indicate, we switch to a 4, we are needing more players for certain as you got to add a DMF. Plus, as much as I have liked what I have seen from my limited experience of watching Konate, what is the purpose of buying a very injury prone CB, and displacing AC if he continues as he is? 

Further, why would anyone give up control? It is lunacy. I know TT is flexible but there is no need to start making changes for the sake of it. 

Like I said and will maintain, unless everything goes to pot, we aren't and shouldn't be considering a switch away from 3atb. 

No way we let go of both Giroud and Tammy without bringing a CF in. So at the very least, it's 6. CHO looked great at LW against Everton also, so he is still going to be considered an option there. That is still 7 players for 3 spots. Sustainable? No way. The dressing room will be chaotic. 

Konate has had two lengthy spells both from the same hip injury. A year off of football rehabilitating, he hasn't had any issue. He was only out this season due to an ankle sprain. This isn't Pulisic we are talking about where he is getting injuries left and right from all different muscular imbalances. He's worth the risk, IMO. He wouldn't be displacing Christensen, he'd be displacing Zouma. 

It's not about giving up control, its about controlling the game whilst still getting the best out of our attackers, which this current system doesn't do. I'm not saying making changes now, I'm all for sticking with it to secure Top 4, go far in Europe and potentially win the FA Cup because it A, works, and B, it is still progressive football. My point is that as tactically flexible as Tuchel is, he definitely wants to experiment with other formations that get the best out of his attackers, as he has done so in the past. Rudiger/Zouma/Christensen are not top tier defenders for a back 4.

First I must admit that I haven't watched him since we were originally linked with him a few seasons ago. At that time however my feeling was that the best of his game was his power. His football finesse seemed lacking to me.

Did you watch the game against UTD? I hope you did, I'm happy he showed up. That goal should've stood btw.

No, but I did see a goals package on YouTube in which he was described as the outstanding player on the pitch.

He controlled the tempo of the game, and he was defensively solid. As well as creatively the best player on the pitch. 

It's crazy how complete of a player he is. He can do the things Jorginho can, but he can also defend and he has goal contributions in him. He'd be a huge upgrade on the likes of Jorginho to be honest.

After the rumours of us being very interested in Tchouameni as well, I think that we're going to sign a player from Ligue 1. That league has a lot of financial issues right now, because the TV deal they've had with Mediapro was worth 3.25billion euro's. Mediapro decided to go back on their deal in the second instalment of that payment, so all of the Ligue 1 clubs excluding PSG, that relied on this TV money during the pandemic are in a crisis right now. That means that Ligue 1 players will be very cheap. You'll see talents like Kamara, Tchouameni, Soumare be sold for 20-30m euro's. These players are better than Rice who's worth over 80m and we should sign them to be fair.

Can see why we are heavily linked to Kamara and/or Kessie. 

Jorginho and Kante just don't cut it. The former is slow and can't defend, whereas the latter doesn't have the technical ability you want in a elite team that plays progressive football.

we need to improve heavily our attack for next season.
IMO it's necessary a striker and someone with skills to dribble and create number superiority.
I would sold:  werner and one between abraham and giroud, then Ziyech. keeping CHO, pulisic and mount. For me Dybala could be a good upgrade: can play like 9 or 10 or also on left side. A switch werner-dybala!

No thank you, Juve can keep Dybala as we need a true no.9 not another Havertz.
