VdV is definetly first choice and with Ange gone has a much better chance of being fit enough to play far more though his hamstrings are clearly a weak spot
Spurs have an ok squad but injuries were massive last year. My impression of thier best line up Gk:Vicario (really weak keeper, just a shot stopper, a flapper. RB. Porro. Good attacking fullback. Lb. Udogie or spence. Very good options. Cb. Danso, Romano, vdv, Dragusin, vuskovic. Loads of options but so injury ravaged. 6. Bentancur, bissouma, gray. 6. Bergval, sorry, now gibbs white. 10 maddison (never fit) Lw. Johnson, Moore, gil (sell son off) Rw. Kulu, kudus St. Solanke, tel, the yard dog. They have loads and loads of players so should be focusing on reliability and quality. I'm assuming a 4231 there but if it's 433 them you just take maddison out and put another of the midfielders in They have a pile of players to work with. They should actually stsrt with a squad full first then bring in 1 or 2 to really improve the system.
**** them. They are a disgrace of a club and should be told as much and don't dare come back the player can rot before thry get him off us in a transfer. The scurrilous rumours they started off using jota means I would rather lose him on a free than sell to them.
Rhian Brewster is a free agent atm; he's got nine goals in five years since we sold him for £32m. Great bit of business from our perspective
with no extra payments just literally a straight swop if so probably yes but it would never happen as Olise valued higher , his wages are nigh on £200kpw higher than Diaz but mainly because they never happen. cue someone finding on now i've said that
Twist in the Gibbs-White transfer. Forest unwilling to let Spurs have 'permission' to talk to him as they haven't accepted the bid for him. But Spurs have met a release clause that means Forest have to let him talk to Spurs. Forest claim that the clause was leaked to Spurs and breaches confidentiality rules. Forest looking to take legal action to block the transfer. Forest do seem to like to throw the 'legal action' threat out alot when things don't go their way.
Talk that napoli pulling out of Nunez deal as csnt agree a fee and moved onto other targets. Saudi offer the most likely for Nunez now. and lfc will open talks with ekitike once Nunez is sold. Still seems stupid fee for him based on 1 decent season.
Real Madrid wants Alex Macalister but would not pay the asking price. https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_...mors-news-barcelona-eye-lookman-williams-snub
We're going to have to start doing the Chelsea 9-year contract thing at this rate, to stop people from running their contracts down.
I'd perfer adding an option for a further 12 months than the madness cheslea are at. I'd you sre a normal club being somewhat sensible then you target a player you believe in and give them 5 years. Chedlea dont do that, they simply grab anything they see and hoard it hoping to loan it, sell it or use the asset value to borrow cash They are not even interested in improving their team to win. They are simply buying like its a ponsi scheme. Anyway. If we look at Diaz we signed at 25, gave 5 years and he is on record thst he is happy to stay so **** him if he doesn't want to. He will be 30 and past his max value when his contract runs down. Bayern are absolutely shameful for what they've got bild saying to get the player. We cannot tar the Player just yet. We dont really know for sure if he is part of the stuff or not. We do know he went to protgual.midweek to pay respects and should be back shortly in preseason and his actions will speak for themselves.
Chelsea are improving imo. They have clearly laid out their model of long contracts to swerve psr and made their signings. Only time will tell if it works but they are in control of their players, not the other way around.
Sir KKK is right imo Maresca has his squad and most of their buys are not for that squad . The only question is how long can they keep shuffling the pack of cards for before it all falls down
Have to think at some point players are going to look and think do I want to join and be loaned out 4 times then sold. However been saying that for a few years and hasn’t stopped young players going there yet - I guess good guarantee of good wages for 8 years no matter how **** you play is tempting.
