If this is the case, it makes sense that so many wingers are moving on. But Gallagher was used in the pivot in pre-season

I agree but Gallagher was never used there only in the pivot. 

Kante missed several of the preseason matches and didn’t Kova? Maybe TT was just trying him deeper?

Gallagher should rotate with Mount not the deeper midfielders. Don’t see why a potential De Jong arrival would impact him at all. It’s Jorginho and Kante that would be seeing their game time reduced.

Yeah,i think i mentioned that maybe last week. Although i do think occassionally he could play in the 2 (especially if we build an elite back 3 and in games against lesser teams) also i expect we will see some 4-3-3 and other formations depending on the opponents. But still probably atleast until January (e.g after the WC) Conor may push for a loan exit not to risk his place in the WC squad.

if we sign PEA then maybe Kai moves to some times on the sides of the front 3.We can guess how players are going to be used but really aint gonna find out for a few months.

Re. De Jong i also think he will stay.

 

but I also think we know exactly what barca want, and will slap the bid in soon as he leans towards leaving

I have no idea why we haven't pulled the trigger on Maehle . A far better option than both of them & would cost less.

this!

Kante has looked great when he has played

very impressed

Would’ve been amazing to see Fofana in in time to play Spuds. Having him and Koulibaly manhandle Kane and Son and making freshly arrogant Spud supporters rethink their “we can win the league” predictions.

Now it’s likely to be Azpi starting at CB again who the Spuds players will really fancy themselves against.

Ok end of story he is idiot if he wants to stay with reduced salary because Barca want to sign more players 🤣 good luck 

[DDA 9,985]

Honestly, we Nedd to move on from this guy.. he's a fool to take a 50% pay cut and play for a club who's basically bullied him and now even their fans are turning on him. What a joke.

[King Kante 1,643]

I am with @Superblue_1986 if AC is available we should take him back. I know it won't be popular and he has been a prat but the economics justify it for me. 

[Pizy 18,994]

I wouldn’t take AC back for free. Soft as hell and went back in his word after agreeing to our contract offer initially. He wanted to jump ship to a club in turmoil so he made his bed.

Fofana is a colossal upgrade on him.

If De Jong doesn’t happen I wonder if we go for someone else or just wait until next summer. If we’re willing to spend £70m+ on De Jong it’s clear Tuchel thinks it’s needed.

he said that midfielders need to create more... so its obvious we need criativity 

[Alabama 1,992]

If we are hellbent on signing a central midfielder just sign Matheus Nunes....

[milka 3,395]

Darren Bent: "If Chelsea get Aubameyang, get Fofana into that back three and De Jong in then they have to be [title contenders]."

 

That's why Gary Neville , Carragher and others specialist don't want this happen .

Bent is wrong tho. We need another world class attacker on top of that to be titel contenders.

I mean we bid for Raphinha, and we didn’t try an alternative.

I think that’s why we are after De Jong. If we couldn’t improve our attack and playing style with a winger we’ll try to do so by reshaping our midfield with a more fluid player.
