There are a few punts that can be taken in the market - Isak, David, Osimhen (tough pull) I think it will only be a stopgap this late in the window - Auba, Ronaldo or Zaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamara was announce as villa player in May. Bissouma was a spurs on 14th June Tcho has joined Madrid on 11th June It's August 22nd, and have we had any plans of a DM? Again, having a daily mail link with a player is not what i am talking about, because that is what we might have had with the above mentioned 3. I don't remember any credible sources linking these players to us. I honestly doubt it. Massively doubt it. Boycie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Law and Nizaar Kinsella have spoken about our interest on Tchouameni and Kamara in the past. As for Bissouma the link came from Nathan Gissing (cfcnewspage) who is now working for Di Marzio. As i have said here many times the delay during takeover process have fucked us this window, we missed out many players because of that.

Even De Jong himself isn't really a DM. The genuine DM like Tchouameni and Kamara got snapped fast by other clubs before we can even act.

We've come full circle now. 😂 On 09/08/2022 at 15:08, Jype said: Belotti and Aubameyang. Is it 2017 again? Just need Morata to pop up in some rumors to make it a hat trick. Morata is not a bad player, his all-around play is actually quite decent but he's just a terrible goalscorer so clearly not what we need at the moment...

Just do something tuchel ffs Even yesterday when we were shite Reece was our most dangerous attacker together with Sterling as soon as Tuchel abandoned this RLC experiment. Same against Spuds when he changed the formation and moved Reece to his actual position. Signing Fofana already so that James can play as a fucking wingback will help the team so much. RLC over there was a cute trick in a one off game where Spuds weren’t expecting it. We obviously should not be doing that again. As for a midfield signing, I was of the same mind as Tuchel apparently still is in. I figured “we have Jorginho, Kante, Kova, and Gallagher so we don’t need a new, expensive midfielder.” But after seeing us totally fall apart and crumble into a pathetic mess in the span of 7 days without Kante I’ve changed my mind. Kante and Kova are ALWAYS injured these days and cannot be counted on. And for some reason Tuchel considers Gallagher a deep midfielder when that clearly isn’t his position as we saw yesterday. He’s best in the Mount role and that’s who he should be competing with, not Kante and Kova. We go from being a totally dominant, world class midfield to one who every opponent fancies themselves against with a single injury. That tells you we need someone new.

bigbluewillie 1,930 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I think Andy Caroll is still avaliable...Diego Costa is too, i'm serious about this one if he's fit a fraction of the Auba fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, hope so! Although him making statements like that and other things ('we were unlucky' and all that) that are obviously untrue concern me because of how little things change. If things were improving as work is done behind the scenes that's one thing but how we've been for a long time now is ... worrying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
