Mhsc 1,139 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Interesting Pochs comments specifically about needing EXPERIENCE, and we’ve been slow playing Caicedo who has only one real year of proper experience. Maybe Poch is the source of us slowing it down and he wants other targets as a higher priority? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 19,253 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 It’s honestly incredible that we don’t appear close on anyone. xPetrCechx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulvhedin 526 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 So with Maatsen and Santos showing they belong in Chelsea shirt, and Cucurella going nowhere it means that Lewis Hall should propably be loaned out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vytis33 1,376 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 We've got to find a way out of the Cucurella scenario and probably Sterling. Cucu just not up to it and if you're gonna have a squad of young hungry players you can't also have an underperforming veteran on super high wages. Just doesn't fit. enzoforever, manpe and LAM09 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is the right call. The loan needs to be with a discussion about the position Lewis Hall will be playing in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way out from Cucurella, he's the same as Kepa....we will be stuck with him until he has 1-2 years left on his contract and we are able to sell him off at "book value".

dimmas 131 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 (edited) 14 hours ago, TheHulk said: I am actually okay with only them being signed. Kudus probably isn't the best option, but he is a good young forward with real talent, a really good athlete, technically promising, and capable of scoring as well. As for Lavia, I don't know if there is any other better alternative to Caicedo. Am I the only one who really likes him because partnering him with Enzo means there is someone who can and is really capable of focusing more on our defensive side in the midfield area? Lavia also doesn't seem technically awful; he seems promising or decent to help move the ball forward in the transition phase, and he is fast and strong, which is a valuable asset for me as well.

Probably already has his mind set. Doubt we have a chance at him any longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gundalf 806 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Just like Caicedo is Chelsea bound, Lavia is Liverpool bound. That is why no other clubs are coming for these 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wipe away most of last summer's transfers at this point (jury is still out on Fofana). Edited July 27, 2023 by LAM09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
