Van de Ven who wants to leave Spurs. Or one of the high rated young CBs like Ordonez. 

we should be ALL OVER VDV

and Ordonez was my first choice for an actually available 22yo and under right footed CB, but the club said they were NOT persuing him (a few weeks back)

 

the 20 best non teen left footed CBs on the planet IMHO  

Alessandro Bastoni 
Gabriel Magalhães 
Josko Gvardiol 
Dean Huijsen (ambipedal, he is the only ambiedal CB of any ageI truly rate ATM, although do not sleep on an 18yo Serb, Nikola Simić of Partizan Belgrade )
Micky van de Ven   
Willian Pacho   
Murillo   
Levi Colwill  
Alessandro Buongiorno
Nico Schlotterbeck 
Piero Hincapié 
Jarrad Branthwaite 
Castello Lukeba 
Gonçalo Inácio  
Konstantinos Koulierakis   
Marcos Senesi   
Renato Veiga    
Sven Botman    
Evan Ndicka
Dávid Hancko

 

the 2 best 20yo and under lefty CBs (Huijsen turns 21 in 2 and a half months)

Honest Ahanor (turns 18 in February)

Karim Coulibaly (turns 19 in May)

plus the 18yo (19yo in March) ambipedal Serb I mentioned above

Our first offer is £43m and Rennes are asking for £56m. Think this deal might happen. 

I really like him but £56m is a shedload of cash for a 20yo Ligue 1 CB with such little topflight experience

2,786 TOTAL career topflight minutes, around 2400 or so at CB

his only 2 Ligue 1 starts in 2023/24 were at RB

Seems Jacquet is getting hotter and hotter. I still think this is an incredibly risky bet when the last thing we need in our back line is another risk.

It’s hard to imagine anyone coming in and not being better than Tosin or Badiashile, but is this 20 year old kid with ~30 top flight matches under his belt in Ligue 1 what a team that’s super naive and all over the shop needs? Surely not, right?

Should be going for Senesi, ride it out until the summer when we can clear out Tosin, Badiashile, and Disasi, and THEN either go for a young CB like Jacquet or assess Anselmino and Sarr.

There is obviously some major reason (or reasons) that BlueCo is now on fire for Jacquet, even at a crazy high transfer fee for such a young inexperienced CB.

I REALLY like him, but 65m euros is madness when, from what I am seeing, Inter MAY entertain offers for BASTONI in the summer for 80m euros (he may be open to going to a huge club in another league, Pool are all hot and bothered atm over it (as would I be, lol).

Now, Jacquet is right footed, and Bastoni left-footed, so I wish to hell we could buy them BOTH, I fucking hate FFP.

Don't think the club can survive for long outside of CL under PSR, the lost money would probably force trigger a fire sale for us to avoid serious penalties. At this point probably better just to spend some money to try to get it. Also all of the sporting directors surely lose their jobs. CL is there to go after as everyone else is shit too and we just need some obvious problems sorted that are very achievable even in Jan. I guess Jacquet just happens to be top of their shortlist at a time they felt forced to go and spend some money.

🙌Chelsea want to sign a centre-back, a midfielder and an attacker and are monitoring January market opportunities.

The club hope to strengthen those three positions either THIS MONTH or in the summer.

(@MrDomSmith)

Can’t see any chance at all that we bring forward a move for any attacker this month. There’s no place in the team right now. And no midfielder of the caliber necessary will be up for sale midseason.

Unless Cole has surgery I suppose... And there were rumours that we were one of the clubs that spoke with Semenyo.

Not sure there will be anyone else available of the required standard tho, in January...

Not the best move we CAN do, but the best we WILL do, at least for now.

It was already reported that Clearlake would never go for high salary, expensive CB unless they moved out other players like Fofana.

Youth players with resale value will always be their first preference, no matter what their supporters keep saying. Clearlake's intentions are as clear as day.
