Special Juan 28,146 Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago We need to be more obsessed with Simons than Garnacho, we need a like for like cover for Palmer, and whilst Estevao can do it, it's huge responsibility to put on his shoulders, plus I see him more fluent on the wing. But that aside, we need to get Simons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,146 Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Chelsea evaluating going for Fermin Lopez from Barca, Chelsea speaking to the attackers camp End of the week compromise on Granacho, deal very advanced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,952 Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Fermin Lopez is a classy player for sure but what is going on? Trying to pressure Leipzig to lower their asking price for Xavi? They won’t get more than what we’re offering if they force him to stay. His contract is running down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, this is exactly what is happening, it's a show of hand from us to RB to say 'start playing ball' I knew a link would come out this week linking us with another of these type of players, it's all a game of chess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoroccanBlue 5,385 Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Could be genuine interest or just a smokescreen. Hell, maybe both. Romano is being fed shit from Garnacho’s agent. IMO No way do we pay anything remotely close to what United are asking. Especially if we don’t outright sell Jackson/Nkunku. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,952 Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Thing about Fermin is that he’d likely be in the same sort of situation here as he is at Barca. Someone who gets decent minutes but isn’t a starter. So in that case why leave your boyhood dream club? This is why I’m thinking the link is a pressure tactic to get Leipzig to soften their demands. Perhaps we also need Xavi to push more forcefully as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,146 Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Guardian reporting that there is a higher desire for us to bring in a winger than Simons, Nkunku needs to find a buyer or he stays as a 10 So as it stands it's going to be Garnacho in, Nkunku staying and no Simons deal at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likes to be heavily in the mix in that #10 area. Excellent technically and great in tight areas as you’d expect with a Barca product. If we weren’t after Simons you can absolutely see why we’d be interested in Fermin. He perfectly fits the profile. But for me Xavi is slightly better and I think suits moving to the PL easier.
