Ousmane Dembele has averaged 20 missed games a season since he's been with Barcelona. Of which 90% of his injuries are a cause of muscular imbalances vs contact with another player. 

If we genuinely sell either Pulisic or Ziyech in favor of a player that spends half a season in the hospital bed, I will not only lose faith in our board, but Tuchel. 

 

I mean, Pulisic and Dembele are basically mirrors of one another. Same body type, same playing stale, both made of glass and miss loads of games every season.

Replacing Pulisic with Dembele would be like cloning him. Though I think Dembele has a higher ceiling.

Nothing, I repeat nothing suggests Dembele will recover from his injury proneness. He has a far worse injury record than Pulisic and this isn't even taking into consideration his massive ego and the fact he is vastly, vastly inconsistent. 

When I see Liverpool making smart signings in Luis Diaz whilst we are being linked with another 'marquee' signing that has all the wrong signs, it genuinely gives me no hope for this club with regards to sustainability.

There has been talk that Tuchel is a big fan of his too.

I think the price being mentioned is pretty insane but I must admit that the Declan Rice we see now is a vastly superior version to the one that Lampard wanted the club to buy 18 months ago. I would have no problem with the club buying him because I think if they pass over him he will end up at one of the other big sides in the Premier League.

One thing to note is come the summer he'll only have 2 years left on his contract and so far he's apparently turned down West Ham approaches to even negotiate a new deal. West Ham will have a decision to make because the longer his contract runs down, so does his transfer value. He seems to be content at West Ham currently who are punching above their weight and he's only 23. He can actually afford to wait and run his contract down if he chose to and move at the end of it.

Not true. The muppet pulled a Harry Kane when signing his contract and allowed West Ham to insert a one year extension option when it gets down to two years'; so in reality he has three years' left.

Let’s hope the first one is BS

süle makes too much sense

shedding out 60m for kounde over getting a far better defender for free would be absolute madness

Hold on. So we either gonna sell one inconsistent but not injury prone player for an inconsistent and injury prone player OR an inconsistent and injury prone player for an inconsistent and injury prone player? Makes sense...

[milka 3,362]

Werner if things don’t change is looking to leave Chelsea, there’s a sense Pulisic will do the same and Ziyech up until recently was looking to leave Chelsea.

All 3 players will listen to offers from other clubs (Matt Law)

Kounde would be replacing Azpilicueta I believe. 

Sule dependent on whether or not Christensen leaves.

How long before Havertz starts to think the same...?

yeah but why can Süle not replace Azpi first. Süle is just as versatile. has played RB for bayern a lot when their actual ones were injured. i don't see anything relevant kounde can do that süle can't do better.

If we don't snap up Süle he might go to real or Manure.

[Pizy 18,518]

I still hold out hope that Werner will come good. If only we could see him get a run of games. 😕

Havertz we should never even consider selling. Like Werner, he’s currently got a Lukaku problem since it’s hard to fit all 3 in at once.

Pulisic I view much the same as Christensen. Good player, can be a solid option as a starter, but I wouldn’t be sad at all if they left. And I say that a a fellow American who really likes CP. He just isn’t reliable enough.

Not saying we should definitely replace CP with Dembele or that’s what I want, but IF the club did so I wouldn’t be up in arms.

In the club's defence, Kounde at the very least fits the profile of what we want in our CBs. 

I also suspect Sule to come. He's mentioned he wants his next move to be in England and if its between us and Spurs its no question. 

Reckon this is our back line next season. (Silva, Chalobah, and Sarr for rotation.)

Kounde Sule Rudiger

Sule is not a better defender than Kounde.

[Pizy 18,518]

We should sign both Koundé AND Süle. AC out and let Azpi go and enjoy his last few years at the top level in Spain. 

Who knows how well Thiago holds up next season at his age.

You bet he is

its not even close

kounde is a mink David Lutz, an add kid who causes red cards and pens 

Süle is as calm and collected as it gets
