hard pass, short and gets flustered too much

I will go bonkers if we buy him

no more Spanish keepers please

Remiro and Simon would be the ONLY ones that I would even list as far down options

and either one would not make me at all happy unless they were purchased to be a backup to a truly WC keeper (like Oblak)

He is short, but as explained, he is very good with his domination of the box. I don't recall a lot of games where he was easily beaten in the air by a cross unlike Kepa. He was brilliant last season.

🤣

he is actually 3 and half inches or so (a little less) taller than Martinez

1.83m versus 1.75m

and that 1.75m is likely bullshit

that said 1.83m (and also, Raya doesn't have long arms, they are not Kepa (for Kepa's height) short, but deffo not super long) is TOO short for a Chels keeper as teams play aerial crossing balls versus us a lot

Disasi is great defender from my understanding. Biggest weakness very slow. But Silva is as well. You can cover that with good reading of the game.

In 19/20 season, his last one in Reims they conceded least goals in Ligue1. Played with BB already. 

I still expect Silva-Colwill to be starters with them backups.

Terry was no greyhound either

Humphreys looked good, looked like everything you want in a CB. Is he going to be sold, contract i believe expires in 2024. IMO he looks at the very least more promising than Chalobah.

True, Humphrey looked good – a real prospect. For me, he looks much better than Chalobah. Shame Humphrey will not get actual chances to prove himself here. And ironically, Chalobah is the one who has a lower ceiling/less talent but gets so many chances to show his actual capabilities in the first team.

Even though Disasi looks great already, there are some mixed feelings about this transfer; it's like a slap in Humphrey's face when the club suddenly just splashes a big fee for another really talented CB. If everything goes well, it will lock one spot for our starting CB for a long time. Buying Disasi means fewer chances for young CBs as promising as Humphreys to break into the first team, and probably it also reduces the number of appearances for Colwill as well

Anyone know if Disasi has played CDM before? 

 

Lots of talk on Youtube of people thinking he will be a mix of the two given his ball playing abilities and ability to carry forward.

He has only played dm once for a couple of mins. YouTube comments are often misleading. Yes from his highlight reel he has good ability on the ball and can hit it from range but he is not the first CB with a versatile skillset.  Would surprise me if he played anywhere besides CB for us

I hate to be the pessimist again but doesn't anyone feel like the circus is continuing? All of our signings have been busts apart from Enzo who we overpaid for after he had a WC under his belt. I had hope for fofana but alas :(. I have hope for the Brazilian lad that just got his visa though.

The truth is I would be more comfortable sealing caicedo no matter what and have chalobah/humphreys and colwill/badman with Silva alternating, rather than buy yet another mediocre player. Idk much about disasi but he definitely isn't gvardiol level. I can only imagine it's because poch doesn't rate one of chalobah or humphreys (who I know is a bit young but now his route to the team is blocked).

Arse, Manure and pool (our competitors for top 4) have all spent their 100-200m and are integrating their players in friendlies. We would be lucky to just sign a DM before the season starts. Hope if we've moved on from caicedo things will move quicker, but it's a big step down to lavia or kone.
