I warned all on Ziyech (as did some others)

now, beyond being a fraud quality-wise, if this is true, he is fucking backstabbing us on transfers

and btw

guess where he told Inter and AC Milan (who both are enquiring) the only place he wants to go to?

yep

PSG

the fix is likely in

Couldn't believe the comments I read when Ziyech was announced everyone jumping and celebrating saying we pulled a masterstroke getting him over Sancho because he was "cheaper and a true magician", he was indeed cheaper, cheaper and complete shit.

Always remember we lost Sancho because of this fraud signing and if the thing with Hakimi is true, fucking us getting another quality player, can't even stress how much I dislike this guy.

Are people really that bothered by Hikimi ??

Yeah he's good but getting a striker is more important.

It's more than simply missing out on Hakimi we all know Tuchel wants a RWB, this means not only we lost on a complete quality player but we're also very likely to go in the market getting Traore or someone else mediocre, thus adding new deadwood to our team.

the Hakimi miss, IF it does not happen is MASSIVE

how often do we have actual shots at a player who is literally the best on the planet at his position?

we have 2 now 

Hakimi is the best RWB/RMFer on the planet

and Håland is the best pure CF (well in a year or two max, as Lewa slows down)

and if I was laying odds

Hakimi is 70 to 80% not coming

and Håland is 50/50 at best, and dropping 

 

the ONLY replacing (there is literally NONE for Hakimi) for Håland would be a temp (and it would HAVE to be this window, due to age) 2 year window, 3 max (in terms of level of play) Lewa signing (which is NEVER going to happen)

or

Mbappe (never going to happen, we are not even linked)

 

Lukaku has ruled out any move, he loves living in Milan (who wouldn't?)

and Kane is NEVER coming (I never seriously even entertained the idea anyway)

neither even truly excite me any way to the level of Håland or Mbappe, not even remotely close

and after them the drop off is INSANE for CF's

with Silas blowing out his knee, the drop off for RWB's is even bigger

I am rapidly going into a dark dark mood

Think people are being a bit premature with their panic. If we actually start bidding on players and failing then we can get worried.

So far it’s just loose rumors from B or C tier sources. When Matt Law or David Ornstein start saying that we’re struggling with our targets you’ll know we’re fucked and will panic buy some mediocre dudes near the deadline.

This image is starting to look appropriate for our situation, some of us already reached the 2nd and 3rd phases others still in 1st 😟

People love to panic about something they can’t control

I agree but many of us are invested in this team and club and want to see it succeed and dominate, we've already seen the mistakes before, buying top notch quality in Hazard and cover him around with Willians and Pedros, that's just waste of potential in my opinion.

Giroud’s agent is working with Chelsea to study the possibilities of concluding a double transaction that will also bring Ziyech to the Rossoneri. AC Milan also like Bakayoko. (Sky Italy) #CFC #ACMilan

IF this Hakimi deal falls through, it is yet MORE evidence that Northern Italians have Marina on a leash

she gets lead around like a shih-poo every single time we go and deal with Juve (the worst!) Inter, or AC Milan

 

[ZAPHOD2319 4,542]

I honestly don't know if there was ever a deal other than shopping players for a discount? It really doesn’t appear that we are all in for Hakimi.

[Pizy 18,539]

As amazing as Hakimi is, talk of €80m is insane. But at the same time we did spunk that much in fucking Kepa so I suppose it’s not totally unfathomable that we’d go there for Hakimi.

But PSG seem much more serious and keen to do the deal than we do.

Yeah he's good but getting a striker is more important.

He is the best RWB in the planet by a mile, the falloff after him is insane, and Tuchel clearly doesn't rate Reece as a top RWB. He was playing Azpi over him there at the end. I think Tuchel sees Reece as a RCB more and more. Not sure about his ability at DMF.

Also buying Hakimi doesn't preclude Håland at all.

We will likely not have the leverage of CL champions in summer 2022, especially if this 2021 window blows up in our face.

[Styl1994 188]

Dumfries Would be a good alternative who wouldn’t cost a lot better than Traore imo.

PSG are trying to spend big to convince Mbappe to stay

It's £68m. We offered Juve £70m (close to £72m, £73m now with inflation) for Alex Sandro years ago, and finally gave up after they raised the price (for the 4th time) to £75m.

If you think a best on planet position (game changing position, look at how Davies transformed Bayern as a WC LWB) player is not worth £68m, (especially to the point you are calling it insane) then perhaps you are simply refusing to admit that this is the way things go in the rarefied air we (as a top 8 most important team in planet, ie. us, PSG, RM, Barca, Juve, Bayern, Manure, and Pool) and 'top on planet' players operate in now, COVID or no COVID.

Dumfries is shite, I have watched him for years. Fuck the Dutch league.
