We are barely out of the summer transfer window but the rumours have already started - we are allegedly in for Jakub Jankto who is a 20 year old Czech CM. https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...nemouth-chase-udinese-midfielder-jakob-jankto
For £34M I'd rather we go for William Carvalho. Is still a long time until then and we might click and not need another CM - are are going to have to figure things out soon though as our next couple of months of fixtures are not in our favour.
Just had a look and hes still playing as captain, even after his transfer chat mishap, shows that hes good enough not to be frozen out.
Carvalho too much like Amartey - who is growing game by game - Silva is a different type of player and would give us more options - IMHO
Carvalho is one of the best combative DM around and is only 24 - would have him over Amartey. Amartey was brought in to be a CB - is only playing as DM because Mendy is injured and King didn't click with Drinkwater.
... and therefore has 3 years to become as good as Carvalho ... and we paid nixies for him ... excellent prospect ...
Amartey was playing regularly for Copenhagen as a midfielder when we bought him- he may have made his first start as a RB but from then on it's been clear that Ranieri wants him to play in midfield.
Amartey can play in many positions but when he first came here, CR was touting him as a defender - I reckon he could become an awesome CB. And Carvalho will be 3 years ahead as well at that point. Either way it doesn't matter what I think - am just saying that if we are still willing to buy Adrien for £34M, I would prefer Carvalho instead. Also when Mendy is fit, it will be interesting to see who starts as DM.
Well if they thought Pogba was worth £89m... How much should we ask? £200m!? Maybe we should get Drinky to start dabbing, and getting a different haircut every week first...
They are so sneaky. You're playing them this weekend, right? This is what they did with Fonte, feed bits to the paper, try a bit of unsettling in the build up to the game. Hope you smash them.
