One of the main gripes with Lukaku last season was that he didn't do monkey work off the ball and that compromised our whole pressing system. Wasn't Ronaldo even more useless at that, statistically? What kind of identity are we trying to build if we keep bouncing between different styles to accommodate temporary stopgaps? Especially one like Ronaldo that requires huge attention. Nothing will change with that kind of short-termism, we need to build something sustainable.

Vesper 30,194 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Neymar Faces Fraud Trial Just Four Weeks Before World Cup https://www.thedailybeast.com/brazil-soccer-star-neymar-set-to-stand-trial-just-four-weeks-before-world-cup Just one month before the World Cup kicks off in Qatar, Brazilian ace Neymar will have to stand trial in Spain to answer allegations of fraud and corruption. The legal row, which has been contested for years, relates to Neymar’s move from Brazilian soccer club Santos to Barcelona in 2013. Investment fund DIS argues it is entitled to 40 percent of Neymar’s transfer fee, and that it ended up getting much less than it was entitled to due to part of the fee being hidden. Josep Maria Bartomeu and Sandro Rosell—both former presidents of Barcelona FC—and Neymar’s parents have also been charged. They all deny the allegations against them. The two-week trial will take place starting Oct. 17, just weeks before Brazil’s first game of the World Cup—a match against Serbia—on Nov. 24.

BVB released him for a reason. So far a Bosman move for him has not materialised but will probably sign for a French or Italian club. Don’t think he is better than colwill.

Pizy 18,928 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 As I’ve been saying, it’s looking more and more likely that we’re going to do what Chelsea have frequently done. Panic buy near the deadline for someone far below standard just because we need the numbers. Laylabelle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superblue 6,372 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Quite a fan of the "ramdam" on Chelsea's interest in Koundé when Tuchel did not want the player. Nice trick to raise the barça level. Behind the player's agent (Jonathan Kebe), it was Jorge Mendes who was influential in the deal (and the press...) I'm sure there will be all sorts of conspiracy theories, and there's no doubt the pot is stirred all the time by agents, but it did seem that a lot of things weren't adding up with Kounde. It was reported early in the window that Tuchel wasn't that keen on Kounde and it was a club target, not his so did seem strange and a surprise we were seemingly going back in for him, especially when Tuchel also suggested his preference was to find a left sided centre back. The story of the hold up in the deal from Sevilla's end was also that Chelsea had come to the table and whilst verbally agreeing a price, never actually then sent the official written bid in to them, so maybe from our end we weren't as invested as was being suggested. Add to that the questionable deal Sevilla accepted which was a bid apparently lower than ours to a domestic rival. The deal has seemed a bit suspect from the start. Anyway, that's done now. We move. bigbluewillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,928 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 When’s the next Tuchel presser? Be interesting to hear what he has to say about the lack of movement. He very clearly has said himself that he wanted 3 total new CB signings and we can’t even sign a second. Wonder if he’ll be as outspoken as he was about our performance the other day.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Would not mind maehle as backup at all Perfect age, very quick , tall, can attack and defend a bit, can play at a high tempo. Has gone off the pace a bit in Serie a so Atalanta would not be desperate to keep him I guess. Not a world beater but can see him succeed here if he has time to acclimatise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
