He looks very good when I have watched him. He had abit of a shocker against us but he has the potential to be what people thought John Stones was going to be.

When have we faced him?

The rumors of going for alternatives at leftback could be true after all if we are actually negotiating for Rice and Ben White. These two will cost 80m+ easily

When I typed this I did question myself if it was against us... I watched him before the lockdown play against somebody... i thought it may have been us but wasnt too sure and im too lazy to check lol. The lockdown has messed with my footballing memory. I cant for the life of me rememeber who it was against... must have been a prem team.. he had a shocker none the less. It was around the time he was first linked with us.

Am concerned by the lack of movement on defensive signings. All we are hearing are just rumors, interests etc and nothing concrete.

Feels like everybody is full time on Havertz atm, and they plan to move on the next target after that. If all of those deals take as long as the Havertz one, we'll be done just in time for the 21/22 season then. 

[Pizy 18,368]

Having just watched some Ben White on YouTube, the guy looks the business. Could be a great signing if Rice proves impossible.

But as with the LB situation, I imagine we have to hurry up and sell or loan one of our CB's before a new one comes in.

Remember the window closes in October. 

Havertz, Reguilon, Dunk/Rice/White, and a GK can realistically be done.

White is 182 cm from what I can see. Not exactly what we need when we already struggle in the air.

Yeah sure, i know. But FL sure is going to be desparate to get them done before the season starts.

my dream window

Havertz  (we have that in the budget)

then

Dunk

Ginter or (cray time, José Giménez)

Rice

Reguilon or Telles (Theo is a bridge too far I truly think )

Predrag Rajkovic or Onana

 

we manage to liquidate a shedload of the dregs, enough to make the numbers work, which, removing Havertz (as he is already budgeted for)

means we have to come up with £200m to £225m in additional revenue to do the whole thing (very rough calculations)

have at it

even at bargain basement cut rate deals there is FAR more than £350m on this list

Andreas Christensen (he has GOT to go and be upgraded upon, I would prefer both he and Zouma be sold, but that is probably not happening in one window unless we get 2 incredible buy deals tossed into our laps, which is so unlikely) I just do not see what Lamps sees in our 4 main CB's, they (and Kepa) make my tummy churn every game. Even Alonso has not done that for ages (I have been happy with his pay overall, except for that West Ham choke, arrrrffff).
Ross Barkley (if we can get say £30m, even 35m (he is English and is only 26 and is in his prime) for him, he will never be worth more (well COVID maybe lowers that a bit, but not much) plus Bayer failed to get CL then a Barks sale plus Havertz buy is only around £45-55m or so net spend)
Tiemoué Bakayoko  
Emerson
Michy Batshuayi
Davide Zappacosta
Danny Drinkwater  (SMDH)
Jorginho  (Juve need to cough up serious cash or work a swap deal involving de Ligt for Jorgi plus cash or maybe Emerson as I rate those 2 as being worth £70-80m-ish, although that is probably an pipe dream now that he has rebounded a bit the last 6 months)
Abdul Rahman Baba
Victor Moses    
Kenedy   
Marco van Ginkel
Juan Familia-Castillo (as Ajax did not exercise their option to buy, or keep him and see if he can ever be a decent LB, which looks doubtful atm, based off my watching him in Holland)
Nathan (sold for almost £3m)
Charly Musonda Jr.    
Danilo Pantic  (transferred on a free, BUT we get a cut of his next sale)
Matt Miazga    
Lewis Baker   
Jamal Blackman
Lucas Piazón 
Jake Clarke-Salter
Izzy Brown
Josh Grant (released)   
Richard Nartey (released)
Luke McCormick    
Jacob Maddox   

 

We could sell 

Kepa    (not likely, especially due to crazy wages for the next 5 years and his £72m transfer fee, ie. how much are we willing to lose of that overall)
Zouma (sorry, he is shit too and as I am list two CB's purchased PLUS Rice, he needs to GO GO GO)
Marcos Alonso (only if we buy two LB's which is not likely this window, I am oki with him as a the backup as he is curve ball option in certain types of games)   
N'Golo Kanté    (only way I see him being sold is if we get Rice and a really HIGH offer comes in. Here is a reality check either way: he is injured far too often and his value has already plummeted and truly will plummet after this summer. It is complicated, and made further complicated by the fact he is NOWHERE near WC as an RMF in a 3 man MF, he simply is not that great there, other than an odd game here and there, Lampard jacked up the team forcing him back in too early)

plus if Boga is sold, we get nice sell on fee

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Looking at things, Rice and GK should be the priorities. Werner, Kai etc are star players and exciting, but we need Rice (or someone similar) and GK who will be more important. 

Funny we have completed 2 big transfers and 3rd on the way, yet we have dont fuck all about the area that is the weakest.

[Pizy 18,368]

My ideal rest of the summer: Havertz, Rice, Reguilon, Onana

Onana and Reguilon should be fairly simple deals since we know they're for sale and we know generally that they're inexpensive. Rice will surely be a massive saga that will likely last well into the new season. Can see a situation where we bid for him, WH turn it down, and Rice then becomes unsettled and plays poorly until they eventually relent and sell him.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

How tf can we even afford all these deals?

We already bought Werner and Ziyech, Kai soon. Yet we are still "seriously" linked with GK, CB, DM, LB...

Either the press is just throwing fake news or we just dont give a f about ffp anymore
