Sevilla looking to bring in Kounde’s replacement. It sounds like Kounde will be a Blue.

 

wouldn't that be Diego Carlos' replacement?

Perisic close to spurs reports suggesting tonight.

Disappointing one for me as I think he could do a really good job here potentially on both flanks for a season or two and fill a gap in a cost effective manner.

I really hope we don't sink 40-50m on Cucurella and are sat with 100m worth of left backs/wing backs.

It’s pretty much a no brainer for him to choose Spuds over us if we were ever even interested. Worked with Conte, knows precisely what he wants, and will walk straight into their first XI. He would’ve been a backup here and he probably feels like he’s too good for that. 

Very solid signing for them, annoyingly. Like I’ve said previously, if Conte brings in 3-4 quality signings this summer he’ll probably feel like he can do some serious damage.

Cornet apparently has a £17.5m release clause now Burnley have gone down.

jeebus fucking christ on a pogo stick

now we are talking about Maxwel Cornet as a target????

are we now shopping at Fulham or Palace level????

shoot me now

[Pizy 18,368]

Borna Sosa should be the wingback target #1. 

[Vesper 28,769]

I can see it now, a front three of Donkeykaku, plugger Pulisic and Cornet

It's not a problem that they're left footed just that there's no evidence as far as I'm aware of either playing in the middle of a 3. Only LB and LCB for Gvardiol at Zagreb/Leipzig 

how many times do I have to post these line-ups?

I really like the idea of Bissouma coming here. An extremely gifted player in my eyes.

Interesting, I stand corrected. My apologies, I don't come here often nowadays hadn't seen you posting these previously. As long as it doesn't directly interfere with Colwill I have no issues with us signing him, I just would be so annoyed to see us repeating the same mistakes again.

The more people talk about the back 3 and the players we are signing the more depressed I get about next season. Because what is changing from this past season to next season?

Talking about Kounde and Gcardiol as WB occasionally gets me as depressed as thinking about Lukaku next season.

Personally I think its more likely lazy journalism. Both have played full back in the past so as a result the assumption is both can also play wing back when that simply isn't the case.

If Azpi leaves, we should look to Mount or James for captaincy.

No more of this nonsense of having the oldest player be captain.

Regarding Azpi, I think TT wants him to stay for stability. We will probably buy James's cover but we'll still keep Azpi around. With the new owners, new players, new staff it would help to have someone that has been around a while in the squad. Azpi will probably just play a handful of games next season in my opinion.

Could well be. Jose bringing The Drog back for just such a role is a precedent.
