Chukwuemeka - lot of Villa fans saying he's lazy -they're probably bitter, but doesn't matter anyway I feel a loan coming on...

There are Villa fans saying he is the best youth product they've produced in over 20 years...

Not a lot to choose from -though Cahill probably the best theyve produced

Probabaly Grealish to round off the top 3.

[Pizy 18,360]

While the club is in an announcing mood hopefully Cucu happens tomorrow and he can get some training in before the weekend.

btw with this fella from Villa, its now impossible to dream with FDJ, right?

If the prices are comparable, which is the better target Dumfries or Walker-Peters?

 

Dumfries (but he is far from my first choice for RWB depth)

[Pizy 18,360]

I think Walker-Peters is the superior footballer to Dumfries. Tidier and more skillful on the ball.

Don’t know which I’d prefer. Both are massively overpriced.

Just feels like we can find a quality backup RWB for a hell of a lot less than £30-35m.

we had the perfect stop gap option

Jonathan Clauss, now a French Sr team international

29yo (we would get 2 or 3 good years out of him as he has very low minutes in his career)

and he went for only £6.75m

Most silent transfer ever? Literally not a peep beforehand from anyone.

and on the board

the only time he was ever mentioned here before today was 3 posts from (quelle surprise) moi

[Blues11 213]

Hopefully Tuchel makes this work and doesn't get sacked. 

We'll potentially have an abundance for wingbacks because it doesn't look like we're moving away from three in the back anytime soon.  

For his system to work offensively you need a creative midfielder to drive the ball forward and a number 9 who can hold the ball and pick out passes. Harry Kane is a prototypical 3-4-2-1 striker but too bad those are rare. Lol

No Cucurella updates today it seems. Hopefully City haven’t had a change of heart.

Final details being sorted apparently and he was not part of their training session today

Going to be around the first team from what I have read. Big trust in him to really hit the ground running

And vice versa their defence. 

When Dias and Cancelo are out of the team, they struggle. 

Walker too, far more than Cancelo MHO, he is a massive key to their defence, it is why they collapsed in the CL after he left the game

and Walker is ageing (turns 33yo in May 2023), despite retaining (genetic freak) his insane pace (at his peak I really think he could almost keep up with Mbappe, and Alphonso Davies on Bayern is the only other fullback who can claim that IMHO, plus MAYBE Hakimi, who is hardly a WC defensive player, his worth is mostly offense) up until now, he is starting to get niggling injuries and can no loner go the full 90 minutes every game

I’ve seen quite a few people around different places worrying about Tuchel getting sacked and leaving us with a bunch of players only suited to 3 at the back. If that happens I’m sure we’d just target the best obtainable manager who knows that system.

Pochettino is currently out of work. If the unthinkable happens this year and we have a meltdown Mourinho season I think we’d get him.

Prob just wanted to fuck over Barca

good post, I was going to say the same thing, as Barca, AC Milan, Inter, Juve, Dortmund, and Bayern were in for him, never really saw Real Madrid links, same for Citeh, Arse, Spuds, and Pool (I admit I have not been following Carney all that much, and the EPL big boys surely were scouting him)

I know we all hate him, but Kane would be a monster under the Tuchel system

he is the VERY rare CF who can play all over the pitch to great effect

he and Son (most underrated WC winger on the planet atm, and for years before, IMHO) are pure weapons, they carried Spuds for years
