Price seems really low

 

Only has a year left on his deal come the summer I believe. If we got anything around 20m I'd be pretty happy with that to be honest.

[Mário César 975]

its a normal price for pulisic

[Vesper 28,796]

Diaby and Wirtz were shambolic for Neverkusen tonight

just horrific

RLC going to Milan would be great and that’s a much bigger move than he probably deserves.

But it’d be great if all our deadwood are sorting their moves away ahead of the summer.

Why throw shade unnecessary? If he gets the move he deserves.

I don't think so. His power game in midfield would suit Serie A. We've seen Tammy, Tomori go to the league and instantly look like stars.

He can go. The wage bill reduction alone will be worth it

Great news about RLC going, stagnating here and simply not good enough

Fair play to him but let’s be real here, if he wasn’t at a huge club like Chelsea he’d be on his way to some traditionally low on the table PL side like Bournemouth or Norwich or Burnley where he could finally play every week. He wouldn’t even be on the radar for a legendary giant like Milan.

Seems Caicedo is the CM the club wants according to Romano.

Gooe. He's an absolute baller.

Seems like we aren’t even going to fight Arse for Rice. I’m not even that bothered if so despite me really rating him. I’d love to see Rice in a Chelsea shirt but I won’t begrudge the club at all for not wanting to pay £100m for him.

I’d be super excited with any of Caicedo, Ugarte, or Lavia. Unlike with the #9 position there are thankfully lots of high quality options for the DM role available to us. And none of them are at really huge clubs that would make them extremely difficult to sign.

Enzo paired with any of the 3 above would be awesome and settle our midfield for the foreseeable future.

If Kova leaves we'd certainly need 2 midfielders though. We cannot count Kante in any squad planning sadly

There's no point in getting into a bidding contest with Arsenal over Declan Rice.   He's a good player, no doubt about that...but so is Caicedo.   I'd be happy with Caicedo + Lavia (if that's possible) to add some physical presence and much needed energy to our midfield.

Why's that?

He won't play more than 10 games next season.  His body is unfortunately giving up on him after playing so many minutes for Leicester, Chelsea & France....

I'm just referring to his injuries. I sure hope he'll play a big part, but counting on that would be a big gamble

[bigbluewillie 1,859]

yeah ok i'd go along with that, but so far I think he's look good, and play him in his correct position, DM.

Where was the shade thrown?    It's just facts.   RLC would be at Crystal Palace or Fulham or one of those mid table sides right now.   I get AC Milan taking a chance on him after their success with Tomori but it's a bit of a shock move considering the amount of injuries he's had to face and the fact that he hasn't progressed to the player we all expected (and lets be honest, he looked like a game changer in that one season where he had that run of games).
