Transfer Rumours Transfer Rumours thread

Off-topic, but I think Twitter are shooting themselves in the foot there. If they limit who can read content on Twitter then it no longer becomes a universal platform and people will over time start posting content elsewhere.

It might look like a win to them in the short-term because more people will open accounts- but long term its a bad idea.
I agree. <ok>
 
NO chance. Chelsea don’t want to sell and if they do it will be for a high price and reluctantly and he’s more likely to go back to Brighton where will be first choice in lead up to euros.

Reason he hasn’t signed new deal that’s on table is because he wants those assurances from Chelsea.

It is a long shot but I'm pretty confident that he would be high up on the list of targets for CB.

Possibly just don’t see it happening. We couldn’t guarantee him the playing time that Brighton can so would take some very good persuasion that’s if you could even get Chelsea to sell.

In all honesty, he was good but nothing overly special at Brighton last year. Never really stood out so think he’s a few seasons off being top class in a top 4 team. If he was a £20m player to develop over a year or two. But as a £50-£60m cb, would want him in first team from the off.
 
So is that Thuram links done if we get Szobo? 3 new CMs seems over the top for one summer.

Need CB to replace Matip the next target before it’s done? Team and back ups looking far stronger now though. Amazing what couple signings can do.

Alisson/Adrian

Taa/gomez
konate/matip
Vvd ?
Robbo/tsimikas

Fab/bajcetic
Mac/Hendo
szobo/thiago/Jones

Salah / Elliott
Gakpo / jota
Diaz / nunez

We may still get Thuram. Think of the wage savings for the players that have left and we could still sell Phillips and a couple of others to get funds.

Could do. Just don’t see the need for him right this moment.
 
If we do get Thuram, then I imagine that we mould him into a DM - which would be a shame because it takes away from his fantastic dribbling ability.

I think he has massive potential. Has all the physical attributes and is excellent on the ball, plus home grown.

The alternatives are Ignacio and Van Der Ven.

Think the first choice understudy to Mo will be Szobo though may depend on the opposition / game .Certainly need one considering the AFCON this year

I was thinking more that one of the forwards might be off with Zobo joining.
