Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 News is picking up steam on Twitter, lots of accounts reporting we've sealed the deal with Napoli apprantly. I wish it wasn't the Mirror reporting it, but make of it what you will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bababoom 4,478 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Only seeing The Mirror reporting it, i'll wait for more reliable papers such as The Guardian or Telegraph to report it before getting excited. If we manage to sign Batshuayi, Koilibaly, Kante and Morata all in one window, i'll say thats a brilliant transfer window for us.

Though, we still wouldn't have a right wingback and would need another midfield signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costa, there's nobody who can replace him right now in the market imo. I would replace the Morata signing with a proper Box-2-Box or New #10 (If we miraculously ship Oscar), to complement the Kane signing. Midfield and CBs are the most prominent issues in our team. We have no ball playing CBs and all our CMs are simply not good enough to compete on the elite level. bababoom, The Skipper and kellzfresh 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing Costa would be an enormous setback even if we get Morata. Sure, Even if we get Kante and Koulibaly we should still sign another CM and CB or at least trust s.o. like Hector or RLC there. we do not need to compete with the very top clubs anyway next season and on a domestic level I really think those can do a job esp with someone like Conte catalysing their progress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK-3001 286 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Are we expecting a 3-5-2 or a 4-4-2 transitioning into a 4-2-4? I thought we'd be going for a 4-2-4, but with Koulibaly's signing (if it happens of course), I am thinking of his more suitable to play in a 3 man defence. A lot of changes needed indeed to pull off that 3-5-2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of changes needed indeed to pull off that 3-5-2. I bet Conte is looking for flexibility. You need the right players to play both 4-2-4 and 3-5-2. we don't have a base for either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of changes needed indeed to pull off that 3-5-2. I think we will be playing in 3-5-2 next season because we only have 1 good wingback and I've not seen any rumors of Chelsea trying to buy one so I'm assuming that we will be playing in a back 3. Also we have been looking for lots of strikers(Morata, Lukaku, Batshuayi) and some central midfielders(Witsel, Naiggolan, Kante) that fit the 3-5-2 system.

Eidur the Spider 4,515 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I see The Mirror, The Sun and The Metro are reporting it. Add all of those up and you have next to no credibility. Fingers crossed they're right though, we desperately need a new CB and he seems highly rated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
