King Kante 1,643 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 51 minutes ago, maxlev said: I do not subscribe to the idea of pressuring players who might not really want to come here as in Raphinha's case(based on some media analysis saying he might wait for barca). I really want Sterling here bcos of his consistent stats. I did prefer Raphinha over Dembele due to the difference in workrate. Deligt is good but too expensive. I think we should avoid signing Ake bcos I do not think he is better than Cowil and Chalobah. Azpi should be allowed to go pls. Media are just stirring the pot, firstly Barca cannot afford him and secondly they're not getting live updates on his feelings. Raphinha to Barca is such a non-story and only being peddled for clicks and to wind up the gullible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lazio value SMS at €70m then that make RLC at least €30m and Emerson €15m. This all said, I cannot see the biggest home boy in our squad leaving London, let alone moving out of England/UK.

Thor 2,702 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Is SMS still the talent he was touted as all those years ago? Seems he never made the move and you heard less and less about him... I never really watched much of him. Anyone know a bit about him and seen him play? Still a good player? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milka 3,394 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) RLC and Emerson for SMS Werner / Pulisic/ Jorginho + cash for De Ligt Ake and Sterling + maybe Zinchenko Raphinha or Dembele . Edited June 30, 2022 by milka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lazio value SMS at €70m then that make RLC at least €30m and Emerson €15m. This all said, I cannot see the biggest home boy in our squad leaving London, let alone moving out of England/UK. Yeah I'm not sure whether RLC would fancy it but having said that I'm sure he'd get a glowing report from Tammy and Tomori on playing in Italy as both seem to be enjoying it over there, and Lazio do have a manager in place who has probably got the most out of Ruben, and shown the most faith in him, in his career so it may be tempting for him depending on his situation here. If we were to bring SMS in, it's another body that pushes RLC further down the pecking order. Having said that, Tuchel does seem to like RLC, there just appears to be a frustration there of him not playing to the potential he has which unfortunately has been the case most of his career to date. Until we get someone in to cover and/or rotate with Reece at right wing back though I'd argue RLC is actually probably second best option there in our current squad options unless someone like Dujon Sterling can come back and impress in pre season.

Pizy 18,907 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 A desperate and pathetic last ditch attempt for Richarlison probably means we failed to convince Raphinha. Not that I mind missing out on Richarlison of course. Still, concerning how scrambled our strategy seems to be. Insert ourselves at the last minute for Raphinha, insert ourselves at the last minute for Richarlison, bouncing between CB targets daily. Not a peep about Sterling in a week, Dembele links died. Entire moth of June has passed and we haven’t signed anyone. The team that finished right on our tails are about to sign their 4th and 5th players. Under a manager that has huge title winning pedigree. Wtf is going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAPHOD2319 4,818 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I am not buying everything that is being spun. A simple call to check on the status of the deal is reported as trying to hijack. It would need to be an actual offer and I doubt that happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 https://www.sportbible.com/absolute-Chelsea/transfer-nathan-ake-manchester-city-Chelsea-asking-price-20220630 shit source but apparently city are trying to ward off our ake interest with a 50m price tag hope Its true no way we pay 50m for that bang average player i hated the kounde rumour which luckily has cooled but he at least has outstanding bounce, pace, flair, dribbling and technical ability for a cb. An ill fit but a special player. Ake is just mediocre in every aspect of the game. Even as AC replacement he would not fit the bill. Would be one of the most boring an uninspired signings ever maybe giving TT too much of a say in transfers was indeed a terrible idea after all. I was always wary of his dodgy record but for most of his signings you could at least see the idea behind it.
