and... what about asensio?

I fail to see what he could offer what our current attackers cannot. He is bang average, never broke through at Real, regardless system and manager. CHO of Real Madrid.

go for neymar

I think Sterling deal blocks that move as we'd have too much of the same thing. Unless Puli and/or Werner go.

Even then, I think whatever "hunger" Neymar once had is gone, and he's going to spend more time injured than on the pitch. He's just not professional enough for this level. I think Hazard was a bit like that too, and folks still loved him here, but I don't think that type of player fits well in Tuchel's system tbh.

Nah, just people with questionable intelligence.

Kind of worrying though that at only 21 that injury he had severely diminished his pace and explosiveness. He was dreadful for much of last season when he was fit.

KK sent his goodbye message to Napoli

I am not, but I feel he is still the raw talent he was 3-4 years ago, not really improving. 
 

Asensio is similar, looked very promising when he first appeared in RM but at the age of 26 he is on same level.

(🌕) Chelsea will make a move for Kounde, with Sevilla asking around €60M for the defender. @TomRoddy_ @CharDuncker #Transfers 🇫🇷🔵

At the risk of repeating myself that isn't true atall.

He was the best attacker during our best part of the season then after that made crucial impacts against Villa, Spurs and Palmerias before being crocked for the season.

He was also 3rd ITL on big chances created and key passes per 90.

My lasting memory of him last season was game after game of him being unable to get past anyone and Chelsea fans almost begging for him not to play because he was so poor.

I mean I'll grant he's yet to hit the level of his promise as a kid but finishing aside he was fine when he played and the metrics showed that. He was unfairly dropped after one so so game vs United days after tearing Juve a new one.

Pulsic has been the one who's truly been poor for two years yet he's given leeway after leeway because of a purple patch in what was a semi pre season.

[MoroccanBlue 5,281]

So so is generous. He was an abomination against United and was rightfully dropped. Missed like 2-3 open chances. 

[Last Sicarius 610]

So Lewy to Barca almost officially. I was hoping for him here.

[Mário César 967]

we run out of options

lets see what the board will do

I could maybe have accepted that if he a) wasn't replaced by Pulisic and b) the same logic applied to the other attackers.

[Pizy 18,323]

With almost every top quality option off the table now I wonder if we should take a look at Alexander Isak? Versatile forward who is a proper footballer and not a traditional #9. Can score, dribble, receive the ball well with excellent first touch. Probably wouldn’t cost a bomb.

Or did he not have a great season? Feels like there was a lot of hype last summer but not so much this one. Remember Arse fans being desperate for him.

If we want Kounde, its better to be fast...

Last time I checked, he has a high release clause (£75m~). There are better options for less, or someone like Osimhen would only cost slightly more.
