Makes no sense to me.

CB - Silva, KK, azpi, 

LwB - chilwell, cucurella

Rwb - James.

Thats 6 players for 5 positions. Maybe 7 if we include RLC as a valid option for RWB. 

Chalobah is a solid player. Considering how old our CB options are as well as how thin we are, we should be looking to have him here.

Rlc for rwb. Easy. He is amazing there.

Fofana and azpi for rcb

How many goals did Lukaku scored in PL? Do you know that? Can you write that down?

And yes, i will dismiss his performances at the age of 30 because this is a striker who thrived on pace. Do you know the first thing that declines post 30?

Your problem with the whole scenario is your dismissive attitude. I gave my opinion based on sound reasoning and you acted like it was blasphemy. And now all you are doing is changing goal posts when I have proven that Lukaku had a better record in the PL compared to the striker we are looking to get. Stop floundering and accept it for once. 

278 games 121 goals. Seems I can write it down. Auba 92 goals 168 games. Do the maths u haven't proved nothing.

RCB is not the problem.

We have only KK for LCB with Cucu a very unfortunate backup.

Only KK and Thiago can play CCB and they ideally play both.

What we are doing this window for CB position is reckless and naive. The best business done was actually unvoluntarily by missing out on useless Ake and Kounde. In fact if we sell Trev we would need two buy two more CBs. Despite all the complaining and advertising we would buy 2-3 cbs we are now net still now net one cb shorter than we were last year while also having lost quality. If we consider Trev only capable of palying RCB and bring in Fofana, fine we can loan him but that still does not help us with us with the problem at ccb and lcb. we can not expect anyting from the season if we effectively have 4 players for 3 positions James or Cucureall a being able to paly cb or not

If De Jong was moving I think it would’ve happened long ago. Think it’s pretty crystal clear that he’s staying.

They’ll send us Auba, Memphis will go, and that’ll then allow them to sign Alonso and register Koundé. FdJ will stay put.

I have not? 

I have proven that Lukaku is one of the best goal scorers around and definitely has a better track record than auba in the near past 

I have proven that my nick has got nothing to do with my opinion as you had so vehemently suggested in your first take.

At the end of it all, nothing, nothing makes sense about this transfer. It's one problem for another. Both players were good strikers (one of them still in prime, another definitely past it). One of them of 30 years old, another 33 and relies far more on pace. Giving auba a 3 year deal while paying him astronomical wages as well as paying Barca 30m€ and helping them in their crisis is one of the instances of the worst pieces of business out there in the footballing world. 

Also, i would really like to know your source. Because as per transfermarkt, auba has scored only 68 PL goals. So need to check your facts BEFORE doing any maths mate.

I think it's a given that someone that can play at RWB will join.

I am a bit more optimistic about our team with the latest signings but still there are major question marks about this team.

Attack -improvement Sterling and only him. I feel uneasy about attack.

Midfield - defense with Kante played major part in our last year's fantastic start that has kept us in the top through chaos. The most important parts of this midfield are Kova and Kante, both injury prone. And Jorgi and Kante are entering last year of their contracts. 

Defense- Yes we got Cucu but him playing LWB lefts Chilwell out. Is he the same player still?  KK, Silva, Azpi over their thirties. Silva is anomaly, will KK manage doing it twice a week? I don't know. I guess we can play Chilwell Cucu Silva Azpi James. We so need another CB. And attacker. 

This Fofana looks good prospect but wasn't convincing against Arsenal at all. Martinelli bossed him. He had major injury last season.

Auba, 33 mill is a bit too much having in mind  age and that he is stop gap.

We will have more signing for sure.

I am OK with loaning Colwill out. Hope he stays injury free there  more often than at Huddersfield and comes back here stronger.

Age and injury tendency are major concernes with our back . I guess the last season left me traumatized 🙂

Something I think the club should be seriously considering this season if they are looking to allow a couple of players on loan such as Chalobah, Hudson Odoi, Pulisic is to only let them leave for now until the January transfer window.

With the World Cup this winter, the season is essentially going to be treated as two halves. 

I'm sure I read somewhere that we are likely to have comfortably the most players at the world cup with around 20. This has to be under consideration for the club and should make us reluctant to let players leave for the full season. We only saw last season with Chilwell's injury how one or two can go towards derailing plans and leaving us light in areas. Although we have a largely versatile squad you still want to retain the numbers as the season runs deep.

The World Cup could throw up all sorts of problems for us - injuries, fatigue, loss of form/confidence. We need to try and ensure we protect ourselves a little bit more than maybe we usually might need to.

Correct. We will most likely have the most players there just like last time, so I understand us loaning out more players for gametime. The season run-in will be extra hard on us as a consequence. I really hope our new board is smart enough to anticipate this. It makes however no real sense to loan out players who are unlikely to feature in the WC anyway such as CHO, Trev, Ziyech or players who will be playing even if they only sit in the stands for us till winter such as pulisic. 

Honestly, I would prefer no more loans for players with a realistic chance to help us at all. Get rid of the deadwood but none more of the others.

It's the second half of the season I'm more concerned about. Even if we suffered a couple of injuries I think we can push through the first half of the season which is only going to be a shortened period anyway. I can see the second half being a real slog though if we go deep in most competitions and are in some sort of push for places in the league, whether its challenging the title or top 4 race.

I'm not against some players like CHO and Trev and even Pulisic going on loan. The World Cup isn't going to be the only driver for some players, some will simply just want to make sure they're playing.

But the club need to be smart this season and either only loan until January and revisit the situation then whether to extend the loan or bring players back, or they include break clauses into the deal to allow us to cancel in January. Last Jan when we wanted to bring Emerson back to replace Chilwell we couldn't. There should be no reason why, as an example, we can't offer out for Trev and want a £3-5m loan fee for the season, but if we decide to operate the break clause in January then no loan fee is paid for the whole season. It gives us control over the second half of the season but also fairly compensates the loaning club if they lose a player mid season.

Auba is such a panic buy if we pay anything substantial for him.

I can't see him fitting in our system at all and he's easily disinterested if he's not getting a lot of scoring chances. At 33 he'll be expected to press and play as a lone striker. Don't see that boding well with his ego.

Why can't tuchel just give Broja a chance? Part of a managers job is to instill confidence and help young players take that next step...
