Transfer Thread

Probably for the same reason he wasn't interested in him last year, he doesn't seem the type to be swayed by one good season.

 

Nope, last season Jose was interested in only one thing - getting out of Stamford bridge
And
Kante didn't have one good season in EPL when Jose still had a job

 

We're half way there to a complete squad now we've got Kante.

Just a left back and centre back and we're good to go.

 

To some extent agree on LB. But Baba can only get better this season.

Last season our Back 4 especially CBs were WIDE open & given freedom of EU - thanks to Dummy & Cescy.

Ivan should play only CB. Azpi should stick to RB. Kurt to be back soon.
CB - is not very pressing as long as common sense prevails.

With Conte - common sense would prevail.

 

We've rejected a 14.25M bid from Monchengladbach for Christensen. Which makes me think we do rate him because that's a decent amount of money.

I reckon MVG, Piazon and Bamford will leave us shortly too. Didn't get a game in the friendly and I'd consider them first team now.

 

Happy Zouma is sort of back to training. Another sort of new signing

Seems you new manager is struggling to decide who his best players are

"N'Golo, Nemanja, Cesc [Fabregas], Oscar, [Nathan] Chalobah and [John Obi] Mikel, who is in the Olympics, it is not easy to choose. I want to have this problem."

 

Mikel in olympics>?? God bless the Eagles!!

 

I like that Chalobah is mentioned. Hope he gets a look in this season.

 

Ditto.
He WILL be head and shoulders better than Mikel. Did you look at that goal he scored against wolfsburger in Preseason game 2??
Messisque!!

And look at that order mate - Chalobah before Mikel.

Conte is a genius already!!

 

oh good, more Mikel bashing before even a ball has been kicked!

 

Rather praise for Chalobah over deadwood in my perspective

 

We've made a 38M offer for Koulibaly from Napoli. Seems an awful lot....

 

In all fairness Stan, your intense dislike of Mikel is well documented here and it would be great to have a hate free zone for the new season. What do you say?

 

Sure mate. Again for the record I don't hate Mikel, just that I don't like his contributions to our team.

 

Baba Rahman having a medical at Schalke ahead of a season long loan. I'm absolutely delighted by this as i think he's dreadful. Would love to see Aina in first team squad next season!

 

He IS dreadful.
Saw him play in our FA Cup match against the MK Dons, and he was even getting skinned by League One players.
Not good at all.
My mate and I literally winced everytime he got the ball.

 

Arsene finds Pogba's transfer fee ridiculous. Surprise surprise.

Also - he thinks 19 teams finished behind Goons last season.

 

Jim White from Sky seems to think Oscar is leaving. It'll be to Inter but i've no idea if it will be permanent or loan (seems odd we'd agree to a loan). Anyone heard anything?

 

Baba has indeed taking advanced German lessons this season (maybe longer). Notta fan of Baba but he did make some progression with us.
