Every GK valued at over 5m euros on the planet that are rated as good enough according to some

the ones in bold blue are the only ones we have a shot at and are good enough to be our starter IMHO

this is in order of TM valuation

It won't. This is thing. Not just you, but a lot of people, they are too short-sighted and don't give players time. Fofana was sloppy since Lamps took over but before that he showed some of his quality and looked very good. He is still only 22 and I think the more he plays he will grow into a top CB. His pace and ability on the ball is really good too.

You mentioned Ake. Last season, you probably laughed when Ake was our first choice for CB ahead of Fofana. Same as a lot of other fans. Stones was considered a laughing stock a few seasons ago too, however with game consistency and proper coaching has proved to be a top defender. Fofana, I think will be the same.

I don't disagree with your points, just think his injury track record is a concern and he wasn't worth 50 million, let alone the 70+ million that the club ended up paying Leicester.    Fofana does have upside but I don't see him being able to justify the transfer fee.  

As for Ake, I was a fan of his for a number of seasons, always thought he'd be given a proper shot here after some good appearances on loan.

I don't think we'd be able to afford Osimhen or Kane (as there is no way Levy sells his captain/best player to us).

Chelsea have agreed personal terms with Villarreal's Senegal striker Nicolas Jackson, 21, who has a release clause of 35m euros (£29.8m). (The Athletic - subscription required)

we cocked it up for him before though

Guys - off topic here - but it is the most active part of the forum. 

My partner and I are coming to the UK from Australia in October, and was hoping to pick up a ticket for the game on the 21st or 28th of October. What is the best way to get tickets? Is it difficult to get through re-sellers if its already sold out, and what are generally the prices for some decent seats? 

 

Cheers.

Idk if these guys would be good but I also want more physical presence in the midfield. One of my favourite set ups was with matic and Luiz in midfield. 

Roméo Lavia is 1.81m, 5-11, not a man mountain

Probably hates us and with Poch on board at Chelsea, that gives him even more reason to sell Kane elsewhere!

I think African players issue is that their country is not competitive at the international stage, so that aspect is missing on their resume. They are at a disadvantage, other players can add to their club resume.

I think they take AFCON seriously enough...and a few teams often make it to knockout stages of WC competitions.

But even if you disregard that...so what?

Haalands team is virtually useless, and Ibrahimovic's team has hardly set the world on fire.

I just don't see their situation as being more disadvantageous than the rest.

I think Asian players have it way worse.

It's not Potter anymore it's Poch but clearly our owners continue with major plan which is long term success. Doesn't look like we are planing to be competitive in the next 2 seasons. Jackson, Broja, Fofana... No one is ready there and we don't have a striker. All other targets also young fellas. I'm just concerned how will our fans react when they see us struggling again. After all, because of fans we sacked Potter. 

That's what I'm afraid of too, and you can only look at Arsenal during Wenger's last few seasons to see why that's not a good idea.

You can't just indefinitely keep building for the future., without having some sort of competitiveness and success.

You'll just likely risk losing the good players you developed, to bigger, winning clubs when they get fed up with the lack of trophies.

I just hope there are a couple of natural leaders there among our new signings.
