Vesper 30,207 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 (edited) 2 hours ago, Pizy said: He’s arguably the best CB in Europe currently. Knowing that it would take a massive sum of money to replace him it’s hard to fathom why we aren’t offering him terms that are acceptable to him. Leads me to believe that Toni is actually fine with the money on offer but is just waiting as long as possible in order to see what develops elsewhere. If Real Madrid goes bananas and adds the wages of Mbappe, Haaland, and Pogba to their books they may not have enough left for Toni. Same deal with PSG. Bayern are probably the ones to worry about most with Süle going. on the only thing I can think of is that club is looking at his age he turns 29yo in 16 days so will be 30yo for last 3 months of next season that said, I think he has 3 peak seasons left + the rest of this now if the club thinks only 2 peak ones left, plus the remainder of this one, that is where it gets tricky Edited February 15, 2022 by Vesper mkh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For CBs especially should not be an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally i would sign Kamara for free and save the money for other positions. Rice can wait until next year when his price would be cheaper than this summer.

Surely that means Jorginho is off? I believe we need one but I think it would be silly to buy both when you're likely looking north of £150m for the two. I think to add one of the two to Kova, Kante and Jorginho we'd have an incredible blend of different midfield types that Tuchel could utilise. I wouldn't be prepared to let Jorginho or Kante be moving on any time soon. Firstly and especially when we have players on big contracts who are contributing far less at present. Saul will leave and Barkley and RLC I think would be moved on before the likes of Jorgi and Kante are considered. I also think people are far too quick to write players off nowadays once they hit 30. We only have to look at the incredible output we've had from Thiago Silva who will be going into his third year next season having joined at nearly the age of 36. Who would have expected this to last that long? But his big game experience to the squad as a whole is just as crucial as his performances on the pitch. Players like Fernandinho at City and Henderson at Liverpool may not play every game any more and become more managed as they get older, but the experience for their clubs is vital and we have to be careful that we don't lose that. Yes our younger players have won a couple of trophies now which is massive for the future, but if we're going to mount a sustained title bid we need some of those experienced heads around the squad. With the future of Rudiger and Azpi still up in the air, it would be silly to let too much of that experience leave at the same time.

MoroccanBlue 5,383 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 You mention Fernandinho and Henderson but neither of which are utter liabilities off the ball as Jorginho is. If one of Kante or Kovacic aren't at 110%, we are vulnerable in midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
