Vesper 30,207 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 (edited) My recs, now that we have likely missed out on Håland, Hakimi, Donnarumma, Varane, and the old stop gap signing ala Thiago, Sergio Ramos We obviously are NOT going to buy every single one in red (plus a GK + RWB), that would cost around £450-500m these are just my preferred pics for each position, and for AMF and Winger, there is only one player for each that I can rec in good faith. GK FFS find one! we are going to be FUCKED when Mendy is gone for a month or 5 weeks Too many to list. Fuck Kepa, I will NEVER trust him, he is dogshit CB Maxence Lacroix Alessio Romagnoli (AC has put him up for sale) Sven Botman LB/LWB Robin Gosens Ramy Bensebaini Borna Sosa RB/RWB Due to multiple blown out knees (Silas, James Justin), failing on Hakimi, and Barca now keeping Emerson royal, I cannot in good faith advise any purchase atm BUT, we all know now who is coming (or we again try so hard for): Adama Traoré arfffff is all I can say, he damn well better work out, I do not like him as a player, hopefully he changes my mind that said, he now only wants to go to Barca, so maybe we dodge him anyway IF we fail on Traore, I expect a desperation bid for Denzel Dumfries DMF Rice is TOO expensive, fuck it, and Camavinga is going to PSG 2 clear choices Manuel Locatelli (be warned though, we will very likely lose him to Juve) Aurélien Tchouaméni CMF Nicolò Barella Youri Tielemans Sergej Milinković-Savić Saúl Ñíguez Ryan Gravenverch Jude Bellingham (next year or year after though, too soon now) AMF Grealish Winger Sancho CF Lewandowski Dusan Vlahovic Alexander Isak Edited June 25, 2021 by Vesper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be wrong but if anything, more teams will qualify from that point so maybe it'll become easier to win by it becoming less exclusive.

When compared to its new format the current structure of the Club World Championship is akin to the old European Cup when compared to the Champions League. Harder to qualify for, but much easier to win once you do. Superblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hashishi 148 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Literally the only class striker around is Haaland and we are not getting him because of his wages. Hakimi is not coming either. The last time we won CL we signed Hazard (who I had never even heard of before). This season however, every target being reported is sad af. We won CL so we could sign Traore...

Clockwork 1,794 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 As I said a month ago don’t expect much this transfer window, we made enormous amount of investment in 2020. Werner, Havertz, Ziyech, and Pulisic can give much more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure we need our attackers to do more, but not having a recognisable #9 when we are already 16th in chances converted, is that something you really want to head next season into?

We are the only UEFA team to have blown it and not won since 2006. The first 3, 2000, then a hiatus, then 2005, and 2006 were all won by Brasilian sides. Corinthians, São Paulo, and Internacional. Other than us choking under the FSW in 2012, the Euro teams have won every time since. The other Confedrations are a joke, and you will likely never see a great Brasilian side again, as their best players are all taken to Europe. We had the horrid luck in 2012 of running into the only truly strong SA side since 2006 in Corinthians, who now have won it twice. Most of the non Euro finalist before and after 2012 were almost a joke. TP Mazembe, Kashima Antlers, Ria Casablanca, Al Ain, etc. In 2022 there are going to be most of the top UEFA clubs involved, not just the CL winners, so absolutely harder to win, plus 2021 is last year you only have to win two games to get the trophy.

Not happy if we miss out on Håland, then Dušan Vlahović ends up at Spuds and Isak at Arse, and then Lewa (as is 90% likely) stays at Bayern. Lukaku is not leaving, and Kane would never come here, Mbappe is a pipe dream. Removing all those names leaves Lautaro (who, unlike most of the board, I would not freak out if we signed him for a fair price) the £100m DCL (insane price) and then a large, large drop off in available CF's other than Youssef En-Nesyri (but has Ziyech poisoned him against us too?) and the youngster Jonathan David, who I think needs another year perhaps.

Superblue 6,372 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 If a top striker isn't happening then just stick with Werner next season and don't force the issue.. It's not beyond the realms of possibility that we see a sizeable increase in his goalscoring numbers next season. gdlk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really should have gone for Sancho from the start. Edited June 25, 2021 by Blues Forever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
