I think Werner goes this summer for sure. For his sake more than anything. One thing I'd say is that it's disappointing that we haven't seen more of Havertz and Werner play together this season. When they did play together last season, they showed that they have good chemistry and understanding of one another's game (they also assisted one another a few times). Matt Law mentioned last week that some in the squad are surprised, for example, that Tuchel has played the CL winning trio of Werner, Havertz and Mount only once this season (I know there have been injuries and COVID but when they are all available). That was something that we could have built on but alas, we tossed that aside for Lukaku and we're now like kinda stuck with him in the squad. laura90 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem like great mates off the pitch. Of all the big signings we’ve made recently Werner is the one that makes me the saddest because his situation is so inexplicable. Goes from one of the most dangerous forwards in Europe to a player opposition fans laugh at. It’ll be a real shame if he goes as he seems like a top guy. And I think he’ll go back to Germany and rediscover himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But dismantling our Cl winning trio without giving them the chance to built from there and getting Lukaku instead talented scoring winger as reinforcement is damning act that will hunt us for years to come. Incomings will depend on outgoings? We will sign nobody even if this mare come to an end. We may sell Conor and Broja to have for Lukaku's wages. I don't understand how our owner didn't have some info and why we took so much risk by getting 200 mill player, 100 + 85 mill player in such a difficult and insecure times. Un top of that we made around 200 mil loss last year and spend 200 mill on one single player. Madness. Hindsight is a wonderful thing but in light of these events not getting anyone would be the most sensible and prudent thing to do last season. I know there was the fear of repeating 2013 but you dont rely on player who failed massively playing for the big club in this league to improve other big club. Nevermind, we don't seem able to compete domestically , referees eliminate us with ease and that is consequence of our 2017-2021 transfer activities. I can't see improvement with this management. We are top four club on track to lose our edge. Weather recent events hit us hard, I can't tell but I honestly haven*t been able to see the light regardless. Not with this decision making. Yes, we are CL and world Champions. That makes it even worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,206 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 well, looks like every good player in the Russian premier league will soon be available FIFA and UEFA just boot all Russian team out of all coemptions surely that voids the contracts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 2,717 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Pace and dynamism is what we need. Traore should have been picked up - as on a better team he would have thrived like he is at Barca. He doesn't need to be perfect. He just needs to have moments. I'd be all for Dembele. Technical and fast. Play Kai in the middle with the options of Dembele, Wener, Puli and CHO all there. That is ideal. Dembele on a free would be no risk. We need a big, technical midfielder as well. That and a fullback who is okay on both sides. Mainly left. Reece James, for as fickle as our fans are week to week is a locked on starter for me. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is anyone concerned about how all these events are going to affect contract negotiations for our current crop? No point in speculating I guess.

Sounds like this will happen but RWB is a very specialised role now. I would want 2 quality options in the squad to avoid something like the LWB situation this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoroccanBlue 5,383 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 (edited) I am 100% convinced players get Raiola as an agent so they can inevitably secure moves to PSG, Juventus, or Barcelona/Real Madrid.

All depends on what the club/Tuchel promise him. Maybe they told him he'd be behind Azpilicueta too? Still think it will happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure if that happens James will be moved to RCB and Kounde if we get him might play the centre role. Reece at CB is an utter waste IMHO RB is literally the weakest position atm globally for recruiting there are only 5 truly WC RB's and 2 of those are on Citeh, with Cancelo playing at LB for them mostly atm Trent Alexander-Arnold Achraf Hakimi João Cancelo Reece James Kyle Walker then Juan Cuadrado BUT he turns 34 in May and was always shit on defence then a massive drop-off Ridle Baku Timothy Castagne Matty Cash Jeremie Frimpong Tino Livramento Tariq Lamptey Sergiño Dest James Justin Joakim Maehle then a tonne of youth prospects Stephane Singo Pierre Kalulu Devyne Rensch Vanderson Matheuzinho Thierry Correia Malo Gusto Hugo Siquet Timothée Pembélé Guga Brandon Soppy Lutsharel Geertruida Ethan Laird Khellven Calegari Bryan Reynolds Sacha Boey Tomás Tavares Giulian Biancone Vinicius Tobias Tomás Esteves Djed Spence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoroccanBlue 5,383 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Kounde at the sweeper role is also a very bad idea. Can only play at RCB or RWB/RB. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
