Wonder how much realistically would we have to pay for Osimhen - €100mln would be enough?

After we already took their beloved Koulibaly despite their manager and owner being desperate to keep him I don’t think there’s a chance they let Osimhen go too. Even for €100m. Not this summer anyways.

But after being burned by Lukaku for that sort of mega money I don’t ever see us spending to that level on a striker again any time soon.

Gerrard told Lampard in an interview that Torres was well on his way to being a spent force, and he could not believe we were paying that much for him

Danny Murphy revealed that even before then when his ex Liverpool teammates spoke about Torres they talked about what he couldn't do on a football pitch, not what he could. Then before even that there was me telling people that Nando was not the player people thought he was. Anyway, ancient history now.

Reading a bit more about him it seems he’s very mediocre technique wise but is a beast in terms of energy and physicality.

Then he won't do. Technical excellence has to be the mantra. It's not an add-on, it's an entry-level requirement. At every position.

Inter fans apparently really rate Dumfries. But as mentioned he’s not a CB so I’m not sure why the hell he’d be a Koundé alternative. He’d be a very decent RJ rotation option but even then paying €40m for a squad player is nuts.

Reading a bit more about him it seems he’s very mediocre technique wise but is a beast in terms of energy and physicality. Apparently he can run up and down the flank nonstop for a full 90 minutes.

Could be useful I guess. But certainly not exciting.

If we were going down that rabbit hole we'd be better off getting Adama from Wolves for likely a fraction of that price.

But ultimately we can't just keep buying players for the sake of it, this feels like the position we're in now this window. It's not ideal but we'll just have to keep Azpi if it comes to that. I'd rather make do with him this year until better opportunities present themselves.

I feel if we buy Dumfries, this time next year he'll be on the list of players we should be looking to replace and probably can't then shift because we overpaid for him and his wages here will price him out of lots of clubs.

The question has to be asked - is our scouting department working to try and help Tuchel at all? Are they not perhaps finding a couple of younger players who we are scouting who maybe aren't quite at the level required yet but have a lot of potential and instead of watching them move to Porto/Benfica or a mid tier German/French team and thrive before we firm our own interest up then at now 10x the cost, surely there's a couple of players in this bracket who wouldn't represent as big risks because they're not going to command massive fees and massive wages.

As I said previously, my understanding is we were scouting Raphinha and Kounde when they were still playing in France. Why don't we ever pull the trigger with such signings. Are they meant to be beneath us? Are we happy to pay multiple millions more to wait and confirm they can step up to higher levels?

Was hoping to wake up to some breaking news...

Instead the daily 'De Jong prefers Chelsea' bullshit.

I have zero dreams in regards to you or anything spewing out of yer gob

As much as some ppl would love Ronaldo here I am deffo not one of them. 37 Yr old in the heart of the defence and a 37 Yr old striker?

I don't see where we're going to get this striker 

Calwert- Lewin ?
Icardi ?
Gerard Moreno ? 
Moussa Dembele ?
Jonathan David ? 
Luis Suarez (free agent) ?

I'm starting to seriously worry about us scoring again this season, I think for a season I'd take him.

Not sure any of them really improve us. Far too much risk involved in all of them. 

I say stick with what we have because atm there isn't a market right now for attackers unless we spend in excess of 100m.  Utilise the funds we have no to rebuild the defence and midfield.

Moussa Dembele? Seriously?

Seeing little whispers about us potentially gauging Leicester’s willingness to sell us Fofana. There’s almost no shot they do, but that would be a damn good signing. I distinctly remember our late season Leicester game where he was pretty incredible. 

They’d probably only listen to Harry Maguire money, but……dare I say he’s probably worth it based on his age and potential?

He is. He is genuinely tailor made for the RCB spot. Even over Kounde.

We stay in house and tell Broja to get his head switched on and fight for a place in our team. 

There's a huge opportunity there for him if he wants it.

Muriel. He is tailor-made for how we play and would happily play the role of impact sub, if Havertz can find his shooting boots.
