Seriously what makes Raphinha better than Jarrod Bowen?

Raphinha is just a more exotic name and as a skillful Brazilian will always get more attention. 

If Bowen was at a small club like Burnley or Bournemouth I’m sure we’d try for him. But WH are a side that has the ambition to be a top club so will be impossible to deal with.

 I'm 100% sure he'd be happy going the 'Chalobah route' and start out as a backup to one of Ake/Kimpembe at LCB but if Tuchel insists on buying two senior players for his position he won't even be a backup but rather the last straw. 

 

Another possibility. Us going for Ake has prompted Colwill wanting to leave. To which we've responded by going after an additional CB (Kimpembe) to replace Colwill. Going after all 3 makes no sense to me unless something has happened with Colwill that has forced it. If this is true then it's pretty disappointing from the clubs side that its an average player like Ake that will cost us a future top player. Its disappointing from Colwill's side that its the signing of Nathan Ake of all players that has him spooked into leaving. And it disappointing for the fans because we all know what's going to happen down the line. No one wins really, except the player.

This generation of players, they want everything now and aren't prepared to wait around or fight for their place, even if they've been at the club since they were 8. I call it 'The Sancho Effect' because all of this basically started with him. Broja will probably be the next gone, and then Harvey Vale next season. I can't see where he's going to get the minutes to want to sign a new deal.

Hope I'm wrong though!

I suppose Barcelona making a statement regarding that.

We will see wether their scouts and coaches are right or not in a bit, but the fact they went all-in for him is also information.

Raphinha has also done well for Brazil so far and got a few caps already.

If we sign both Ake and Kimpembe, wouldnt Ake become CB4 again, like he is at City?

Yes, please! We already signed one established attacker in Sterling.

Please take a chance on someone who we can groom to become spectacular.

We were linked to him months ago. Wonder what happened.

I saw a link to Leoa eariler. That would be a highly, highly, speculative signing. A sort of here's some money we don't mind gambling away, a last chip on 36 and shut your eyes kind of deal. If we have money we want to spend like that then much, much better to look at Etikike. A clearly better prospect with a much higher ceiling as well as a higher floor. Leoa would be a fools bet, Etitike a thinking man's punt.

I would still want to retain Mando however, and since Kai is going nowhere, signing Etitike in these circumstances would imply the club is ready to give up on Timo.

So all done, KK arrives today, another superb signing.

[Mário César 1,045]

so you think that we will improve our midfielder?

If we keep on using 3 CB system then TT can still offer him plenty of minutes on the pitch, especially Thiago cannot play 60 games a season.

[King Kante 1,527]

Three CB's is a bit overkill even with a three, that will leave us with: 

Silva

K2

Kimp

Akè

Colwill

Trev

Sarr

That is 7 CB's and is before we get to Dave who can play CB. 

Now don't get me wrong Sarr, I do not want to see much more of, but I am really not seeing the logic of Akè as Colwill and Trev are fine as back-ups to the first three. 

My ideal, would still be to get MDL and leave us with:

Thiago, K2, MDL, Colwill, Trev 

In a 3atb, everyone would get minutes, especially with 5 subs. After next season we could then explore if we need a need starting CB to replace Thiago or a back-up one if Colwill/Trev take their chances. In an emergency, James can also be shifted over (which is why I want a 2nd RWB.)

Problem is that role doesnt seem to be enough for Colwill. So assuming he and Azpi leave and simply discounting Sarr that leaves us with 5 CBs (one of whom is nearly 38) for 3 positions. So i'd say in that case the number of CB signings is correct and necessary. Now if those signings have to include Ake and Kimpembe is another story entirely
