More sensible buy than Haaland. Cheaper transfer fee and agent fee, only issue would be his wage demand.

If you wanna talk about players having their heart set on moving to a particular club, then I don't think we're Haaland's #1 choice based on some reports out there. I doubt he would mind staying for another year and then have the option to choose whichever club he wants next summer. He and Raiola can also get more money that way. 

Werner leaving is out of the question since he said he wants to stay and the club have no interest in selling him. And we're already trying to sell two other strikers this summer.

Based on the unwanted players list, it seems like Abraham is the one that will fetch the most money and that is only at 40 million. Otherwise, you're looking at way less income than that. Also debatable whether clubs can afford to pay for our unwanted players.

Another issue is that if we sign Haaland, it would likely mean we're gonna blow our entire transfer budget on one player when we arguably still also need a midfielder (since Gilmour is going on loan) and a defender. Tuchel, of course, is believed to want a signing for each area. 

If we don't sign Haaland, is Rice & Traore meant to be seen as a good window?

We can't have this pattern of getting fillers IMO. Also, before you or anyone else makes a comment, I don't believe Rice would improve our XI that much, not to mention the price tag to boot.

I read somewhere that he was going to talk to tuchel to congratulate him for his cl win and that he sees him a great coach. 

He seems to like tuchel. So if mbappe does not sign a new contract we have a great pull. 

Signing mbappe will be a coup.

Signing Mbappe would be weird but wonderful. One can dream.

It's seemingly down to Roman going by most. If he puts up Dortmund's asking price, he'll be in Blue for the coming season.

If its true that his fat fuck agent wants to include a 'get out clause' whatever that really means, I can't see us completing any deal that isn't on our terms. That's just not how we do business. We do things on our terms.

Yes - Raiola parked Haaland at Dortmund for a big move down the line. He will look for another big move in a few years. But the club can't give up all the cards by agreeing to a get-out clause.

Struggling to think of anyone for either question. Unless we tried to convince United to part with Pogba I don’t know of any other top class midfielder who could walk in to our team in place of J5 or Kova and add 10-15 goals in the league.

I wouldn't say we need someone who can score 10-15 goals from midfield. Someone who can score at least 5-10 from open play and add creativity to what we currently have in midfield would be welcomed.

I am not saying he is the gospel truth for transfer news, but what pure dross has he said in the past? (was it a complete lie à la Don Balon or IndyKaila level?)

The problem is he acts like he's an ITK and also quotes dodgy sources.

it hardly seems out of the realm of possibility to be talking to an unattached GKer with loads (181 games) of EPL experience and 96 Sr caps as our 3rd GKer

I don't disagree. Was just surprised to see Hennessy being linked, albeit by an unreliable source.

we also need to loan Kepa and get a decent backup, as Mendy is gone foe a month or so to AFCON in half a year

Not sure if it's possible to loan Kepa out because of his wages. Matt Law said he could end up staying because no one could afford it. Different case of course if the club suddenly decide to fully cover it etc.

I don't want to start a whole debate what would constitute a good window but as some have mentioned, we made a lot of investment into the squad last summer already and right now, we arguably need to just improve on 2-3 areas of the team. But as we know, it's difficult to sign the main targets this summer for various reasons. So either we stick to what we have for now or we go out and buy second/third rate players, something that I don't think many of us will like.

Between Traore and Rice, the former is definitely the more of a filler. Matt Law was saying Traore, if bought, will be seen as a squad option and someone to come off the bench and make an impact. I don't believe that would be the case with Rice and the thing with Rice is - and I've been saying this - that we need another defensive midfielder to alternate with Kante or maybe even play with him. We haven't replaced Matic from years ago and Kante is the only midfielder we have with any defensive bones in him. But of course, West Ham will have to lower the asking price for the move to possibly happen this summer and/or maybe we throw Abraham in as part of a deal.

It's from John Cross but...

Chelsea's pursuit of Inter Milan wing back Achraf Hakimi - also a target for PSG - might have set alarm bells ringing for Reece James.

But Thomas Tuchel sees James’ long term future as a right sided centre half in a back three as he played there towards the end of last season, largely because they want someone better on the ball out wide.

Chelsea boss Tuchel also likes Paris Saint Germain defender Marquinhos while Romelu Lukaku may be a more attainable target this summer as signing Erling Haaland will take crazy money and Borussia Dortmund do not want to sell, despite a reduced price clause kicking in next year.

Messi and Ronaldo era is more or less finished articles and better suited somewhere else.

[DH1988 1,331]

I would absolutely take Ronaldo on a one or two year short term deal, considering the rumblings he wants out, rumours of course. But ultimately, I’d be happy with that as a stop gap, I’ve said it here before, not just because he can still do a job and finish chances, his work ethic and attitude would do wonders for this young team.
