complete shambles if we dont get a good left back mate!
Trying to work out what the hold up is, to be honest. I know transfers take a while but I would have thought we'd have some concrete rumours linking us with someone.
Do that and we've had a 10/10 window, in terms of incomings.
Normally the way we sign playersI was fully on board when I thought the price was £50m.
Really good player but I'd struggle to understand us paying De Bruyne/ Dias/ Rodri/ Mahrez money for him. Glad we backed off if this fee is true.
Only problem is, I don't see us being seriously linked with anyone else now.
i suppose there arent many top left backs around mate and yet again we find ourselves in a situation where we will get fleeced whoever we go for as clubs know how much we need one?
They probably thought the same when they bought Havertz, Werner, Chilwell, Kovavic, Kepa, Pulisic & Morata…
All 25 or under and cost £40m+
How many of them have been a success?
Normally the way we sign players
I'm going to be honest, I don't even care about top left backs at this point, I just want to see someone comes in the door.
If we've never heard of them, great, just trust the scouting department and Pep to work his magic.
We've sold Zinchenko. Not replacing him at all is not an option.
Sosa looks ok mate in fairness?
Is it? With the exception of Dias and Alvarez, I'm trying to think of a player in our squad who was signed reasonably out of the blue.
If we sign him then he's the best on the planet and I always wanted him.
Bernardo? Ortega.

Fair point.
On the flip side we've got far more players who were signed after periods of intense media speculation. And that doesn't even account for all the times we were so publicly going after a player and ended up not getting him.
Need Pep to land Gomez and turn him into Spains starter just for the lols.Fair play to brighton and fair play to us Chelsea have been robbed 62mil for a guy who is behind alonso in the Spain team and has had 1 good season.
There is definitely a bit of one and a lot of the other, you are right.
Whoever we sign next, and I am convinced we will, it is unlikely to be a long drawn out negotiation, purely because there is a lot less time left in the window.
