Guido Rodriguez anyone? Watched him only for Argentina and he's a rock.

It isn't. I watched a lot of that Monaco team and I was saying that Baka was sh*t and that he owed his livelihood to Fabinho; this was all during their run and not post signing. The signs were 100% there with him for those that watched enough of him. 

However, I wasn't posting here but on CFCNET at the time. 

RLC won't ever be more than an emergency squad player. No way does he make an impact at this stage. 

no, he was often a force at times on those teams in terms of being a MF destroyer (long legs, he was really good at picking the ball off people) and then a burst to start a counter

I watched a tonne of games those teams and my father watched a lot in person (I caught a couple whilst visiting him) at Stade Louis II (he was a Monaco season ticket holder for years, as he worked a lot out of Monaco part time back then, for his friend's M&A consultancy and had (well still has, but he lets it out now atm) a flat in La Condamine.

Bakayoko is still my chief cock-up in terms of predictive outcome with us, have not been so wrong about a player before or since that I can recall.

He was far from shit though with Monaco, especially that 2016–17 season when they had that deep run in the CL and won Ligue 1.

Obviously I would rather have had Mbappe or Bernardo or Fabinho (even though he is a dirty cunt) off that side but was pretty happy we signed Baka

he just couldn't handle the pressure of the EPL, his confidence went to pot, and he never recovered

Makelele did warn us about Bakayoko and his mentality.

heh, with a first touch like that no amount of mentality can make him a proper mid at this level. 😉

if he was 5 years or so younger, yes, perhaps, but we would only get 1 full sub 30yo season out of him, and he will not at all come cheap

he has the potential to be a star at the WC though

he shit away too much of his prime career in Mexico

that's a weird one. Have seen it pop up everywhere in the last few hours. Rumours like those sound so random either have to be completely manufactured by the agent/selling club or there has to be truth in it. No paper would just make up a rumour about a player most ppl don't know.

He is not a bad player, traditional DM. but already 28. According to 3rd tier sources like metro would be the bakcup if we indeed sell Kante (which i doubt)

🚨 Chelsea are interested in former Arsenal winger Serge Gnabry as the club consider potential alternatives to Raphinha and hold talks with AC Milan over a deal to offload Hakim Ziyech (via @Matt_Law_DT) #CFC #FCBayern #AFC

Gnabry would be alright. Only negatives are he turns 27 this week and has terrible top speed. Other than that one of the better German attackers . When on form he is deadly 

don’t think MDl will happen for us tho 

Turning 27 is a positive. Not a negative. He is still is a very good age and has resale value if the move doesn't work.

[Pizy 18,478]

That Bayern journalist Plattenberg or whatever his name is that was the first to call De Ligt to Beyern is saying that Gnabry wouldn’t come here due to his Arse allegiance. 😡

Arse probably would go after him if he’s available. They’d love to stick one over on us after we fucked with them on Raphinha.

This Plattenberg reeks of bitterness. 

2012 has Bayern in a forever grudge against us.

Update #Gnabry: We have often been told that a move to #CFC is NO topic for Serge due to his time at Arsenal. Gnabry decision in Munich soon. @SkySportDE 🇩🇪

[Pizy 18,478]

IF we can get Gnabry that would be better than getting Raphinha for me and for half the price. 
 

Pacey, direct, great dribbler, and has excellent end product for a wide player just like Sterling. And unlike Raphinha he’s got loads of experience in a massive team with winning pedigree.

Sterling + Gnabry in with Lukaku & Ziyech out would be a mega upgrade.

Everyone and their dog spot are rejecting us 😆 

They are going to regret it when we do the double, Prem and CL.
