He's exactly what we need in midfield?No, I mean he would not start in Bayern munich midfield.He would definitely start here, but he was injured for some time. We will habe to see how fit he is now Gesendet von meinem VOG-L29 mit Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I guess a Rice-Zakaria double pivot would give us immense protection and still be somewhat balance. Rice is a crisp passer who usually distributes the ball right after he wins it and Zakaria is basically a tall Kante who can carry the ballforward, roam around and destroy opposition counter attacks.

Rice will cost a lot of money and so will Zakaria. Gesendet von meinem VOG-L29 mit Tapatalk mkh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You either plan well for the future or you can go and buy third rate players like Zappa Drinky Baka and the likes for immense amounts to boot. Before this summers tranfers we didnt have a good enough squad, its looking brighter now and we can and must do it again next summer. Then we will have a proper squad to challenge for them big trophies. Alabama and Fernando 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the 'placed' rumour is evidence that someone in his camp could be interested in trying to accelerate that to January? It must be said that German clubs tend to do what they say they'll do. You all may have better memories than me but I don't remember when last a German club said a player contracted to them would not leave in a window but he did anyway. Usually, if they say he stays, he stays. Whenever it is that this bloke is on the move, I hope we'll join the bidding. killer1257 and Vesper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!Hazard! 3,394 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Any thoughts on Pau Torres? Looking at his profile, he seems like an ideal CB for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zakaria and Upamecano are my two number one targets my list is simple (not saying we move for every postion) I leave Rice out, no clue what we want to do with him (DMF? CB?) GK Oblak or Donnarumma (IF Mendy doesn't work out) CB we need to buy two of the following Dayot Upamecano <<<< MUST Buy + José Giménez or if not Giménez (manly due to his cost), Matthias Ginter or Evan N'Dicka (left footed) or Edmond Tapsoba LB/LCB (which alienates the 2nd CB buy above) Theo Hernandez DMF Zakaria next summer for the cruncher DMF plus Camavinga for the roamer, or if he is Real Madrid or Barca-bound (what everyone tells me) then go for the next best things, Boubacar Kamara or Bruno Guimarães or Ismaël Bennacer or finally the last of those 4 for me in terms of my preference, Boubakary Soumaré CMF (not saying we buy any, but these following are amongst the only ones who interest me) <<< Camavinga can play here as well Saúl Ñíguez Aouar Verratti Ryan Gavenberch Jude Bellingham Agustín Almendra (20yo, soon 21yo from Boca Juniors) RW Gabriel Veron 18yo from Palmeiras SS/Winger Dybala don't see us making moves for Sancho or Håland or (obviously) Mbappe Paulo Dybala on Blues radar following Juventus role https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/chelsea-transfer-round-up-paulo-22871198 Atomiswave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I dont see us getting Dybala, he is either RM or Barca bound, where would he game here anyway. I guess it could work if we chuck Kai in midfield and put Dybala at 10 position, but very risky.

NikkiCFC 8,366 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 This is what we needed. And speaking of DMs I watched Hoffenheim:Red Star last night and Samassekou is really good player, not sure about top level but one to watch.
