yes, likely United bound (which sucks)

he has grown 4 cms in the last 2 years, so is now 1.82m, which is basically at or very near my cut off for CB height (1.83m minimum or so, although he is CRAY fast and great on the ball, and so I would prefer him over Kounde (and he would be far cheaper as well)

I would not at all be unhappy IF we bought Timber as a the 2nd CB buy (and he can play RB as well)

he may well end up a semi Alaba type

He'd effectively replace both Christensen and Azpi due to his versatility. From what I've seen from Ajax fans they rate him as highly and some even higher than De Ligt. Oh well.

I have posted Jesus's INSANE productions stats, but I see almost no one who wants him here

I can see him tearing shit up at arse, unfortunately

never really thought about sterling coming here, I think it unlikely, but he is a quality winger (I know many here do not agree)

Think Jesus would be a great option to have in the squad here just like he was at City. But that’s also probably why he wouldn’t choose us over Arse. He walks right into the first XI there and gets to be the main man for the first time in his PL career.

Sterling is tricky. In form he’s amazing but he’s so hot and cold.

Any wingers you have in mind ?? I'd love to see Son here which is obviously impossible. 

The main 16 (15 if you remove Raphinha) winger options (Chiesa is off the list due to his bad knee injury, he wont be ready to even try to buy likely until summer 2023, same for Florian Wirtz)

some are AMF/Winger or CF/SS/Winger hybrid types

some are AMF/Winger or CF/SS/Winger hybrid types

Raphinha (likely Barca bound)
Christopher Nkunku  (Insane production at AMF/winger/SS, 54 goals produced with 2 games to go)
Serge Gnabry (if he doesn't renew with Bayern)
Ousmane Dembélé
Jarrod Bowen
Mikel Oyarzabal 
Moussa Diaby 
Carlos Soler  (AMF/CMF/Winger combo) 
Karim Adeyemi (more of a CF/SS, but can play winger, he is very young, just tuned 20)
Arnaut Danjuma
Cody Gakpo
Allan Saint-Maximin
Pedro Neto
Ismaïla Sarr
Charles De Ketelaere (AMF/SS/winger type, similar to Havertz, 21yo, 1.92m)
Kamaldeen Sulemana (potentially a Mane type, turned 20 two and a half months ago, projects to 15 goals, 6 assists over a full season minutes, almsot all of it as a teen, as he was injured for months)

Jesus represents everything we want in a ST under Tuchel's system. 

He probably starts alongside Havertz.

Possibly. We’d have such a narrow forward line with he, Havertz, and Mount who is always going to start. We’d be depending solely on the wingbacks for width. Which is fine assuming RJ and Chilly stay fit all season but as we’ve seen that’s highly unlikely.

I'd personally bring both Jesus and Nkunku

 

Mendy

James CB Silva Chilwell

Tchouameni

Gallagher Mount

Jesus Havertz Nkunku

I think he'd be a solid option to have in our squad, but more of a stopgap rather than a reliable 25+ goal CF, which we're in dire need of & have been since Costa left.

Should we be looking at some of the City players that could leave? Arse are being linked with both Jesus and Sterling. Both could be useful here, no? 

Jesus and Sterling? Hell no. We need real quality

[MoroccanBlue 5,296]

Looks like we may have an edge over Tchouameni with Real only wanting to secure him next summer. 

Quote

 

The Ligue 1 side are named as a ‘selling club’ and there are discussions about the player’s possible sale in the summer. The report also mentions an amount ‘close to €70m’ as a starting price for him.

Tchouaméni ‘wants to take a step forward’ after this season, by moving to a league that is more competitive than Ligue 1. This makes it difficult for Paris Saint-Germain, while there are other clubs, like Chelsea, who have already made an approach for him.

It’s claimed Thomas Tuchel’s side have ‘asked about his future and are looking for a quick decision’.

Los Blancos have been following the player for several months but have informed him that he will have wait for one more year to arrive at the Spanish capital club.

Tchouaméni is aware of Madrid’s intention, as well as that of clubs from the Premier League, who are ‘willing to incorporate the midfielder’. However, he ‘does not seem willing to wait’ for one more year to join Real Madrid.

This could favour Chelsea and other English sides to acquire Tchouaméni’s signature in the summer.

these isn't anything out there unless we buy Håland (not happening) Mbappe (even less likely) or drop £100m on a huge (2 years in a row) dice roll on Osimhen

or an even bigger (albeit less costly) dice roll with Darwin Núñez

we fucked up with Vlahovic, not a chance Lautaro will be sold, Kane will never come here

Isak, Inaki Williams, Jonathan David, Youssef En-Nesyri , and Malen collapsed in form, Dominic Calvert-Lewin has never regained form post foot injury , fuck Richarlison

Tammy is not coming back (and he is not the answer anyway)

I doubt the cub will move for youngsters Karim Adeyemi or Hugo Ekitike now

Lewa will go to Barca if he leaves Bayern

Gianluca Scamacca is interesting, but not sure if he is right for us (massive, 1.95m young 23yo Italian, but lacks pace)

Sasa Kalajdzic is even bigger (2.01m) but slower than Scamacca

Evanilson from Porto is interesting , but I am leery of that Liga NOS unless its a bang on talent like Dias and Diaz, need to scout more

all the other options are fucked, unless you are talking wild gambles on CF's like Andre Silva, Azmoun, Belotti, Daka, Haller, Poulsen, Barbosa, Schick, Martial, Icardi, Depay, Amine Gouiri, Cunha, Watkins, Kean, Toney, etc, all of whom I will NOT endorse a move for

all the rest are 30 and up in the top 50 valuation wise, or with us now or were with us before

 

there is pretty much the entire CF recruiting field , at least atm and counting top 50 valuation players

This guy shows up on my twitter feed because he hashtags CFC. He makes up a lot of headlines. Rarely has any content linked within his tweets.

define actually doable quality (so NO Mbappe or Håland or Kane pipe dreams)

convince Boehly to toss £100m out there on Osimhen? Good luck

Chiesa is fucked up bad with his knee, as is Florian Wirtz

most of the top 25 attackers will never come here, and/or leave their current clubs

Christopher Nkunku and Gnabry are about it in there

 

[Vesper 28,767]

Boehly needs to sack the entire top of the scouting department, all of them

OUT

they are horrific

I've been in the Osimhen camp for several seasons now, so I'm not going to change things now. To me, he's the best option amongst those available and ticks a number of boxes. Dealing with De Laurentiis would be a massive pain, though.

One name that has missing - Broja. He certainly isn't good enough (right now IMO) to be starting each week, but I believe it's the upcoming season or bust for his future here.
