I don't really believe in any of this player trading stuff. For FFP reasons we want to buy and sell players in completely separate transactions surely. When was the last time anyone heard of a cash+player swap deal? I think it makes virtually no sense these days.

Of course we could be open to selling them a player that we're comfortable selling, at fair market value. But that would have been the case anyway, you'd imagine.

Seems we are firmly in the, "It's the hope that kills.", stage now. 🙂 

[TheHulk 2,048]

Why aren't we in for one of the most exciting talents in world? Crazy if they gonna go for some noname with mixed bags again.

They probably want to see how Fofana fairs this season before spending big on another young CB.

probably because we have no chance against those teams.

That’s because it is extremely rare to do straight swaps these days.

what happens is that the clubs perform 2 separate linked transactions; it only goes through if both succeed.

that is actually quite common.

Nkunku, Enzo, Caicedo, Lavia, Paez, Estevao?

I'm pretty sure its down to Wesley Fofana and how he does this upcoming season.

Would be perfect scenario. Get Olise and sell Madueke. 

[Mhsc 985]

Forgot Olise is a proper London boy, that should help us a lot. Honestly might be an us vs Arsenal situation.

To think that Camavinga is only 21 is scary.

He’s prob my favorite mid in that role right now. People talk about their attack, but I think it’s their middle that makes them hard to crack. 

[NikkiCFC 8,122]

Can we make Olise, Palmer and Nkunku working as front 3?

Was wondering this myself. How do you get all 3 in the same team unless 2 of the 3 play in positions they aren’t best in? Putting Palmer or Olise on the right wing negates their most dangerous move which is cutting in on their wand of a left foot and shooting/crossing. And Nkunku centrally where we’ll be facing parked busses feels like a waste too.

In order to play this front 4 we’d have to play the Enzo/Caicedo midfield again which we’ve seen isn’t the best defensively.

I think Maresca will want to play 3 in midfield with a proper DM.

[Vytis33 1,191]

See a bunch of a people slotting Fofana in the backline.  Is he even gonna be ready to play?

They've been striking gold with their recent investments. If they manage to find someone who can fill the void of Kroos/Modric, it will be hard to stop them from adding more CL trophies.
