You didn't understand what to say.

I'm saying that these players have been associated with big clubs like Real, United and Arsenal, for example.

We're not talking about players who were mediocre and nobody wants them. 

De Bruyne came from Wolfsburg, Bernardo Silva from Monaco, Van Dijk and Mané from Southampton, etc etc.

I could give here several examples of players who came from clubs where the jump to the ones they are now were huge.

Ah got you, my bad.

The point remains tho; RM can go after Calciedo because they already have senior players in that role. We'd be relying on a 21 coming from a smaller club. Big clubs aren't allowed to do that. It just does not work.

Younger players aren't, by definition, very consistent in their performances. More senior players, esp the good expensive ones give you exactly that: consistency.

James/Gusto

Colwill/Thiago/Fofana/Badiashille

Enzo/Caceido

Nkunku

 

Those are some best in their position type players at their position. We aren't exactly short on talent. Just need to sure up the squad.

Real Madrid had their eye on Nkunku and Arsenal and United had their eye on Caicedo. 

Don't forget that we will still keep some players like Reece, Chilwell, Thiago, Fofana, Sterling and Enzo. 

It won't all be rookies. 

Last year no one cared about Havertz, Jorginho, Mount and Kanté leaving and now everyone is worried.

I don't know what to think, honestly.

Yes, but so far they are definitely on the rookie side of things. 

Last season the likes of Mudryk played like shit, but we only remember that Mount had a poor season filled with injuries. Reece had a bad season too, same with Chilwell. Sterling was awful! It's fine to say that nothing worked last season, but then rate all players thru the same lenses.

Dude we don't have a midfield to field tomorrow if we were to play. We are waiting for this fabled 21yo from fucking Brighton so we can have 11 starters worth a damn.

hey if you like the status quo, then all power to you. For me, this is all crap and it's going to crap next season unless we move to signing more senior players ASAP.

We need a top striker, a winger at least, besides Caicedo, another midfielder. 

Kepa doesn't convey to me and we need another goalkeeper and I worry that Poch trusts Kepa.

At least, we need this.

By the way, what players do you suggest?

The audacity on Inter I have never seen anything like that.

Scouting the market is not my job, nor is it something I like to do...sounds like too much work to be fun. I think we need more than that, esp wingers.

Having a top striker is overrated, if nkunku turns out to be a good player, then he's good enough in my book. We all hope he's not a Morata in front of the the goal, but I rather have an excellent player playing #9 than a good "competent" "proper" striker playing #9, but that goes into personal pref.

I'm more worried with the building of the squad than specific areas and specific names.

Meslier pretty much confirmed our interest in him but also said he doesn't want to be number two. It will be hard to find that guy.

In the history of football, no club ever faced what we are facing atm. Ship of Theseus/Chelsea really.

In our case, the ship isn't the team, but the club. In which case, the answer is quite simple: it's not the same ship.
