Blues Forever 1,232 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 What a bargain, definitely far more cheaper than Tchouameni and Rice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club not really looking for bargains this summer Not better, but the gap between Kamara and Rice/Tchouameni isn't too big for me. Kamara is slighty worse defensively but could play both DM/CB and also better passer than Rice/Tchouameni.

DH1988 1,348 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Goes without saying but an attribute we’ve missed is the aggression and will to win, it extends all the way to when a teammate gets shoved or missing a chance, we miss it. ahh Diego… Diego… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,897 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 If we’re looking at midfielders from the French league I’m personally more impressed with Renato Sanches than I am Camavinga. Especially after that showing at the Euro’s. Think he’s absolutely worth a punt if the asking price for Rice is too high (which it assuredly will be).

Vesper 30,162 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 (edited) Boubacar Kamara for only £12-13m is an absolutely blinding steal look at my DMF (and CB as well before he was switched out) lists over the past couple years he is always in the mix class player, can play DMF, CMF, CB, and I wager, with his pace, he could fill in at wingback in a pinch Edited July 10, 2021 by Vesper Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, I’m already resigned to it not happening. Think we’ll get a cheap stopgap like Ings or something and hope for the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,162 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Dortmund are fools if we offer them €150m for Håland and they turn it down do you realise what over a quarter of a billion euros (between Sancho, Håland plus the smaller sales they have already done) can do IN THIS market, this once in multiple decades market? they can buy up players for pennies on the pound radically transform the team and its depth and youth for a decade plus via the synergistic knock-on effects they lose Håaland next year anyway, and for a sheload less dosh and I so doubt the market will be as low priced as now Atomiswave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't like to make small fortune by selling Haaland next season. Moreover, there is no deadline set by Dortmund so Haaland is definitely a go deal.

If we can get someone in the £25-30m range this summer who may not be spectacular but is effective and can score the easy chances we create that’ll have to do. Then that striker can become our backup striker next season. Or perhaps the plan is to just stick with Tammy and Kai. Which…..wouldn’t be good. laura90 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't like to make small fortune by selling Haaland next season. Moreover, there is no deadline set by Dortmund so Haaland is definitely a go deal. The fee difference may be bigger but you're talking about a club who have a history of holding onto a player for one more season and then either selling them at a cheaper price (e.g. Sancho) or letting them go for free (e.g. Lewandowski). Dortmund might be a selling side but they also still have interest in being competitive. If Dortmund are really concerned about getting less money next year, they would not have said all year that Haaland is not for sale this summer and they are also not under any financial pressure to sell. So, I don't think it's a foregone conclusion to just say they will accept our offer immediately. More importantly, we gotta actually table the bid in if we want to make it happen because right now, nothing seems to be actually happening and it's all just empty talk after empty talk after empty talk. And oh, there are also tons of recycled BS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
