NikkiCFC 8,334 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 It is nice that we also fixed now squad issues. We had 3 LBs/LWBs last season and also 3 strikers. Now with Emerson, Giroud and Abraham out and just Lukaku in we fixed this problem of extra players in the squad. Milenkovic renew with Fiorentina so I think WH will now pay for Zouma.

Special Juan 28,141 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Romano just said we will decide in the next few days about a new CM and we are keeping an eye on Saul Niguez not advanced yet. Chelsea still working on Kounde deal too Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we somehow pulled both of these off we would surely have the best squad in all of Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have freed up some serious wages in the last few days/last week, not to mention the Lukaku sale was basically funded by the sales. The you factor in what Roman was willing to spend anyway plus CL winning money, we could easily fetch in 2 more say the Monaco lad and Kounde....£100M or there a bouts.

Vesper 30,213 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 another target (not a main one as I always suspected he would renew) is off the board Bayern Munich and Leon Goretzka have agreed to terms on a new deal https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2021/8/20/22633745/bayern-munich-leon-goretzka-joshua-kimmich-contract-transfer-brazzo-sabitzer-muller-lewandowski-sule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could he molded into holder ala Jorginho? perhaps here the DMF/CMF's I rate to buy (and who are actually somewhat or fully available, either now or next summer) most are hybrids capable of playing a holding positions, box to box, trad DMF (some far more than others) and trad CMF roles Nicolò Barella Jude Bellingham Aurélien Tchouaméni Eduardo Camavinga Youri Tielemans Declan Rice (too expensive) Sergej Milinković-Savić Saúl Ñíguez Franck Kessié Rúben Neves Houssem Aouar Carlos Soler Kalvin Phillips Tomas Soucek Ismaël Bennacer Boubacar Kamara Ryan Gravenberch Bruno Guimarães Ilaix Moriba (would be loaned out) Weston McKennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I think Saul can actually play a bit like Jorginho, has been holder for Atlético before. however has been off the rails a bit since his injury. Would be mad expensive due to contract till 26 on the plus side he is not in the Spanish squad so maybe a bit more durable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,213 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 if Monaco lose this match next Wednesday I am predicting we do a deal for Aurélien Tchouaméni at a reduced price from what is now being offered, as Monaco lose a shitload not qualifying for the CL group stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he is actually quite decent but I don't think he is the type of midfielder we are looking for. Not a Jorginho-type holder but fair enough passing and athleticism. No significant weaknesses. Regarded in isolation, he would be a good 4th choice still for 8m but I think we are looking for someone younger with a higher ceiling to be a long-term successor to Jorginho and don't want to buy run-of-the-mill players to block the development of our academy graduates.

NikkiCFC 8,334 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Obviously when people are speaking about selling players they are speaking about Zouma. Maybe Ampadu, RLC, Barkley? I know club has financial benefit of keeping these players but I am just upset they are still called Chelsea players. Especially Drinkwater, if we extend him as well, I am gonna lose it.
