Wesley Fofana removing Leicester from his Twitter bio.

Gvardiol clearly has the attributes to play at LB if required, even on a full time basis.

Who’s better between Fofana and Gvardiol ?

Gvardiol and Cucarella both doesn’t make much sense to me. I think reports about Cucu playing at LCB are sounding more and more plausible. In which case, buying another purely left sided, left footed CB for massive money makes no sense.

If Cucu is coming in we need to target a RCB which is where Fofana comes in.

Chelsea trio likely to leave after missing out on squad numbers

Chelsea have chosen not to give Billy Gilmour, Ethan Ampadu or Kenedy squad numbers for the forthcoming season,

If TT sees those three the same way that I, and others here, see them then being clear with them about where they stand is the right thing to do.

Fofana is better defensively, but Gvardiol is better with the ball. Personally i think Gvardiol has higher potential than Fofana.

Tuchel pushing for Frenkie De Jong. (@SJohnsonSport @TheAthleticUK)

Not opposing either signing but can’t state often enough how massively risky both are. We are overpaying 80% on each 
Fofana broke bone and medial  ligament of his right ankle (he is right footed). While it is possible to regain full athleticism as that ligament can be patched together we will not know for sure for months 
Cucurella is perfectly ok but there are so many players with similar ability available for half the money… 

really hope we get this right 

also pls don’t offer crazy wages

Well if both Colwill and Sarr end up leaving then it make sense to me. The back five would be like this:

---------Koulibaly-----Silva------Gvardiol

James---------------------------------------Cucurella

or

---------Koulibaly------Gvardiol-------Cucurella

James------------------------------------------------Chilwell

So what would your thoughts be on Cucurella?

Some things that fit my template, but one that I know will irritate me if he joins.

• Technical excellence. ✅
• Ability to do ordinary things to a very high level. ✅
• Uncomplicated. Moves the ball quickly, decisively and accurately. ✅
• A competent, not excellent, defender.
• Two footedness is a great attribute for any player but a near essential one for fullbacks. ❌❌

If we get Cucurella/Gvardiol + Fofana+ De Jong..

I would go as far to say as this maybe being the best transfer window in the history of Todd Bohelys reign.😎

I don't think we can afford both Gvardiol and Fofana together, it will be one of them for sure.

Surely we don't get De Jong. Seems like a pipe dream.
