MoroccanBlue 5,385 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 All it does is demand good performances. Kepa should know one cock up from him, Mendy is there to replace him. Rudiger, Christensen, and Zouma should know they are competing for one CB starting spot along side Silva. Alonso should know his starting role is up for grabs the moment Chilwell is fit, so now is his chance to impress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christensen Rudiger possibly and Alonso all knows they are going to spend most of the time on bench...Kepa I cant say but its up to him to relish the chance to impress and nail down his position...

Unionjack 7,531 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I dont know Mendy apart from Youtubes and they could make me look good. But from what I pick up from here is hes nothing to write home about apart from arms like the elastic man with shovels on the end but punches the ball to dangerous places. But IF hes under £20m he can still be a better backup than Willy. NOBODY will gibe us the £50m price tag on his head or pay his wages for a loan.But from the lists of Lady Vesper I'm slowly getting through, there doesnt seem that many top options available.

oldportblue 547 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 apparently we received a bid of brozovic + cash for kante today and we turned it down... Reports claim inter will probably make one last straight cash offer before window closes.. Also: Lampard would favour selling Jorginho rather than Kanté. [@JacobSteinberg, The Guardian] #CFC Completely agree with lampard on this... anyone who saw how amazing kante was recently against sweden knows he still has a lot to offer Muzchap and Massie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's simply not enough activity in the market to get satisfactory prices for some of the players we want to dispose of. If the market and finances begin to stabilise over this season, it will hopefully be easier to sell players next summer.

killer1257 3,282 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Skriniar plus £25m and we can talk lolol then Rice would cost (just subtracting that cash) around £45m or so net plus Rice would be under zero pressure to slot over to CB as we would have Thiago and Skriniar, plus Rudiger, and Zouma (sell AC ffs) at CB Hope not because Skriniar is bad at aerial duels. He only won 55% of his aerial duels last season and he regressed in that regars because he used to have 61% success. Rüdiger wins 59% of his aerial duels, Zouma wins 73% and Van Dijik wins 76%.

Gimenez wins 75% of his aerial duels because of his timing and great body positioning. Upamecano wins 60% of his aerial duels.

Hutcho 8,443 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Nothing wrong with loans. Most of these guys are on long contracts. Get some loan fee income, gives them a chance to do well and improve to either make a team or raise their value. Plus the market is shit (hence we have been able to do a lot of the business we have). It's a buyers market. Next year may not be the case and we get more for some of these assets. Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gesendet von meinem VOG-L29 mit Tapatalk Skriniar is not a 'must have' at all for me, not after he has regressed (although some of that is on Conte and his system) that aerial duel win rate for Upemecano is not great the overall state of CB's in football is sort of dire atm Varane is in a rut VVD even has not played that well since the bindippers went on that slump (he still is the best in the world though IMHO) after thsoe two, a big drop Koulibaly also struggled last season and is soon 30 Alaba was hardly ever a CB for ages (Pep did play him there a bit) until recently José Giménez has an annoying injury history de Ligt has played better as of late, but is still not at the level he should be Lucas Hernández is a massive question mark due to his huge injury plague as of late Ibrahima Konaté (Lucas H's situ on steroids) Niklas Süle (injuries as well, for ages) Magiure is meh IMHO Davinson Sánchez is meh as well, but better than Maguire and I cetainly would take him here for a cheap price (cheap price will never happen, lolol) Clément Lenglet slumped as well Deigo Carlos has played well most of the time BUT he is too rash, so hard pass the main ones (in terms of large cost rating) playing well are (no order) Marquinhos (and he is now at DMF a lot) De Vrij Upamecano Romagnoli Alessandro Bastoni Ginter Caglar Söyüncü (but he slumped a bit too towards the end, as did all the Leicester team) Rúben Dias <<< I simply have not watched him enough, but he has looked oki when I did assuming we are talking about the next 5 years so not just Thiago's two seasons we will get out of him who are your CB targets, if you even have any? (I did not mention Rice at CB, and we have Sarr, Tomori, and Ampadu out on loan) Atomiswave and killer1257 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,985 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Yeah, Brozovic is a good player who apparently has a nonstop workrate. But I wouldn't swap him for Kante. Only way I'd (reluctantly) let Kante go is if we brought Thiago Alcantara in. And we all know that ain't happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
