If Nkunku repeats last season's output in 22/23 our chances of getting him will be virtually non existent. We'd have to do something spectacular like win the Champions League to even put ourselves in the frame. The usual suspects will all be in for him and one of them will get him.

Artandur 939 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I'm a bit afraid of who they're gonna come up with next. Surely they'd rather try out Colwill now?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Surely not selling Werner, Ziyech and letting Broja go without anything major arriving. Hopeful hearing Romano saying we are very busy this and 4 could come in. Kounde is going to Barca, another Raphinha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If/when he signs a new deal it's very likely he'll stay till at least 2025 I think, after that it's probably dependent on how competitive the team is. bigbluewillie and Vesper 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also i think Romano said 4 deals including outgoings, so thats Kounde+Kimpembe+Azpi+Broja probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blues Forever 1,232 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Marseille and Lens have reached an agreement for the transfer of Jonathan Clauss. The fee is around €8m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fee is around €8m. it is just sad we would not plunk out £6.7m for Clauss, as even though he is 29yo, soon 30yo (end of September) I changed my mind and concluded he has a lot of has left in the tank for that age, and especially at that price, as he played so little minutes over his career only 20,878 minutes in 12 seasons only 1700 per season and 8600 of that was in the last 3 seasons, so 1350 minutes per year for his first 9 years really low mileage on those legs, especially for a fullback Edited July 20, 2022 by Vesper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kante 1,643 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Can't see Werner leaving simply because we need the numbers in AM with Broja following Lukaku and Ziyech looking like he'll probably end up in Milan. As for signings, we still need one more CB and a back up RWB before we can really feel comfortable. Personally, I am happy the Ake and Kimpebe deals have fallen through. I am not sold on Kounde at €60m either as I do not rate him highly enough. Personally, if we want that profile of CB I would just try for Fofana.

Pizy 18,942 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 The Ziyech rumors seem to have completely died. Haven’t heard anything about it in weeks. Same with Alonso. Been seeing stuff about Azpi still but not the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulvhedin 526 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 No way we will sell/loan Werner, Broja and Ziyech without any replacements. That would leave us with Pulisic and CHO as backup - 2 injury prones players who are not consistent enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alonso purely because it's appearing to be him or Emerson for #2 role and for all his flaws I'd rather Marcos any day of the week. Ziyech because I think he offers something we don't have and if we're going to start seeing a more conventional back four (especially if a 4231) that will play to his strengths a lot more.
