Not sure if its been stated at all but if we see looking for a LB, regardless of Cucu going or whatever, Andy Robertson on a free for 1 or 2 seasons surely wouldn’t be a bad punt?

Robertson already agreed a deal with Spurs (if they survived relegation).   Same with Bournemouth's CB - Senesi or whatever his name is. 

Even our neighbouring london side is trying to get in experienced players for next season....

Can't wait to see if Alonso actually has a say in some of the transfers as we need talent and experience in this lineup. 

If we're still reliant on Gusto/Garnacho/Delap/every other average player in our squad.....good luck trying to get back into top 4.

Our big problem is that all the midfielders that are of the quality we need to replace Enzo are also highly desired by our rivals who are all in the UCL and also don’t have super restrictive wage caps.

If Enzo were to go to Madrid and they therefor allowed Tchouameni to go, would he even want to come here and if he did could we give him acceptable wages? With Xabi here now we could maybe get the first part sorted with convincing him but any player coming from Real Madrid will be on huge wages.

Players like Tonali and Anderson are wanted by the Manchester clubs and Arse. Liverpool are reportedly after another super top rated midfielder too.

Unless BlueCo accept that they’re going to have to break their wage restriction this summer we are going to end up downgrading on Enzo.

We might have to play the market smartly and pick up someone like Tonali while everyone is trying to convince Anderson and Mateus Fernandes who are the most coveted mids in the league.

If Enzo is dead set on leaving and I wouldn’t blame him for wanting to then we should try and get a player in exchange plus money. That would be a better deal in my opinion as these fucking tosspot Directors cannot be trusted with money.

That being said, I’d take Tchouameni or Dean Huijsen all day long. Those two players would instantly elevate the squad.

On the GKer front, I honestly don’t know why anyone is against Penders being given a shot at the No1 spot. He looks solid. 

and in a deal with City I'd be open to Nico O'Reilly coming the other way. It can't be Nico Gonzalez, Trafford, Marmoush, or anyone like that who can't get into the City XI

The common sense thing to do is no deal with City but we know the owners don't care

I think Tonali has been linked to a couple of the other big PL sides. He might be more difficult to get than the others you named.

He's not the top choice for any club I've read. Arsenal and PSG are interested in Mateus Fernandes. The Manchester clubs both have Anderson as the main midfield target. Liverpool is unclear but there are links to Wharton.

Either of the Newcastle midfielders would be a great signing. They’re the only level of player this fanbase will accept if we sell Enzo. Going out and replacing him with some kid who may be good 3 years from now won’t cut it. They’ll have the supporters at their throats from day 1 of the Alonso era if they do that.

As an aside, am I the only one who doesn’t see anything special at all with Matheus Fernandes? He just looks like a decent PL midfielder and nothing more watching his highlights. And I’ll say the same thing about that Ederson dude from Atalanta who United are apparently about to sign. If they get both Fernandes & Ederson as their shiny new toys I’d be delighted with that. Wouldn’t scare me at all.

Enzo did his better work this season as a false 10 so for his replacement I'm not thinking about proper CM's.

Rogers,Yildiz types..which would replace his goal contributions whilst depending on formations Xabi wants to put out can contribute either on the left edge or inside in a double 10 or solitary 10 when Palmer is out.

I'd be fine with the group of remaining CM's we have if as expected we have to be sensible with how much we spend,so we can fill more pressing needs .but whilst I like the players who people are suggesting I think if we sign yet another CM. We should look beyond thinking about who is the best possible available and look at a different profile to what we already have. We need a Matic type..someone that can help in air whilst being good on the floor.

I’m not even concerned at all about Barca and JP. There’s just no chance we sell him in the current striker market.

Barca will tap up Julian Alvarez and steal him from Atleti.

I simplified the type of players by using the names Rogers and Yildiz.as I said Rogers Yildiz types I mentioned left edge AM/CAM's

Although we supposedly have some interest in both. The chances are indeed slim this window.however there would still be reasons atleast with Rogers. Foreign players harder to aquire without Europe.even more so without international team mates at the buying clubs..

ALEX SCOTT DEAL ON?

 

[mkh 783]

💣🔵Joao Pedro wants to play for Barcelona and has a meeting scheduled with Xabi Alonso. Chelsea for now is not listening to offers.

(@10JoseAlvarez)

👀⏳️I see it Marc Cucurella to Barcelona now as pretty cold. At Barcelona, the feeling is that Cucurella is going to Atletico Madrid or Manchester City.

(@gerardromero)

 

🗯🔵Chelsea are ‘still hot’ for Mike Maignan. 

The west London club are ‘ready to make an offer’ for him, while he also has Manchester United and Bayern Munich as options.

this actually makes sense with Maresca taking over City.   Would free up Nico o'reilly to play more midfield/wing minutes.

Think he was top choice for Juve if they got CL but since they missed out, that gives more opportunities for PL clubs. 

I wouldn't be surprised to see United go after him.  Maybe something like Ederson + Tonali/Tchou (if he's allowed to leave Madrid) to cover the Casemiro hole.
