ZAPHOD2319 4,823 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Those RM dreams could also be changed if RM is not at the top. Carlos ahead of the rest of the top teams seems rather unlikely. Carlos seems more like a caretaker for a year or two. Then the real rebuild starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milka 3,395 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Thomas Tuchel has told #Chelsea’s board that he wants another central midfielder. He is determined to build a squad capable of challenging for the Premier League title and the German also believes he needs more options on the right flank.

Artandur 939 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Since a top striker doesn't seem to be possible this summer it seems reasonable to invest in a good young CB and DM now, since we have a bunch of aging players in those regions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superblue 6,372 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 The option of driving down the fee with a player could be very good for us given the abundance of players we still need to try and move on. Anyone know Sevilla well enough to be able to suggest who could be realistic to push their way? Obviously wages is a big consideration, but Sevilla should have a pretty decent pull for players and can offer Champions League football too.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I would have been fine with this window even if we signed no one of Note if we just stayed away from dregs but this kounde rumours show we the Board has learned nothing and it will be 2017 all over again.

Bakayoko was the top rated DM in Ligue 1 the summer we bought him. Kounde is just not made for PL can't believe no one else sees this.

Which wouldn't have been in the last couple of hours. So once again we have a situation where we've heard next to no links with a player, nothing from the trusted, reliable news sources and then when things do break they are already seemingly in an advanced situation. It's the exact reason why people shouldn't be getting so worked up about the lack of news and links in recent weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
