It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[LIBlue]

Cancelo requires quality minutes at left-back.

Especially so, when other clubs aren't yet privy to what our intentions would also be towards a Mendy acquittal?

When we agreed the sale of Zin, we essentially told clubs we need another body in that position.

If Zin had been told to wait patiently for his Arsenal deal to be concluded, we may have afforded ourselves some breathing room on both a replacement and price.

With regards to Zin and cucurella fee that’s floating around I don’t think it really would have mattered if he stayed longer. As much as I hate to say it, I’d rather wait to assess options in January or go for a quality rb and give cancelo the freedom on the left

I’d be happy ”converting” Aké into a leftback now with mostly shit leftbacks left on the market after Cucurella, because defensively he is very solid and he’s quick. My one concern is his (in)ability to attack. His attacking stats aren’t exactly glamorous.

No market is a shxt market.

 

[Centurions]

You’re wrong. If we needed another Zinchenko, we would never have sold him. He wanted to stay. It was pretty obvious in his last speech. The club’s ambition was to replace him with Cucurella and that would have been a massive upgrade but the clubs tactics failed. This time.

No, it was pretty obvious that he was sad to leave, that's not the same thing at all.

 

[himalayan_blues]

Did Chelsea having 4 other LBs in their squad give them breathing room on the Cucurella price?

We r not chelsea.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

There was no point in selling Zinchenko if we don’t sign an upgrade. An upgrade means world class. And that’s what we need.

Is it? We did pretty well with Zinchenko.

Having two world class players in every position doesn’t work in my opinion. You need players who will step up like a zinchenko.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

For me, Chilwell would be ok, but that's all. I'm not convinced he's good enough on the ball for us. He'd certainly be a step down from Zin in terms of ball retention (though maybe stronger in defensive situations admittedly).

Chillwell would be a big improvement for us.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Why on earth does everyone on here rate Ben Chilwell.

Is it just because he isn't Luke Shaw?

Because he was brilliant for Chelsea and is integral to their side

 

[himalayan_blues]

Chilwell is good but his injury is worse. A risk to take especially after his injury.

I guess I've not seen enough of Chelsea. He always looked completely nondescript to me.
Like the left-back equivalent of Harry Winks.

 

[g180aj]

He's more proven than Cucurella and also has the homegrown benefit.

In a World Cup year, Chilwell needs to be playing and getting his fitness up.

I'd give them their money back?

I was thinking this earlier, isn’t he good mates with Grealish from the England youth teams

Wouldn’t be signing a guy who’s just returning from an acl injury, not until he’s proved himself again. I’d take him on loan but nothing more than that.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Penny for Chilwell's thoughts?

We tried to sign him previously and would not mind us chancing our arm.

I would even try a cheeky bid for Luke Shaw if it was lower than £20m. He is running down his deal.

Have you been on the sherry? £20m wouldn’t even feed the useless fat **** for a year. Running down his deal, did you mean bunging down his meal?

Was, not so sure he is now.

We are betting alot when we Sign Gundo from dortmund after his supposed injury career ending, sure the price is cheap but we're still betting alot back then there's no guarantee on him to play us for many years after injury like that. Fortunately the bet is paid off.

 

[g180aj]

Why not just go all in for Theo Hernandez

 

[argyle]

Chilwell or Shaw?

I think Tolmie has been hacked!

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

That holiday hasn't done him much good

 

[argyle]

Are there odds for City being done and dusted in this summers transfer market?

 

[carlosthejackal]

Ake would contribute zero going forward as a left back , the same can be said about Stones playing full back , we really are playing with fire having only two full backs .

 

[Bobby the blue]

Chilwell definitely. I mentioned this a few days back. Think he would be a good buy. I know he’s coming back from injury but I reckon it may be a risk worth taking.

Luke shaw. Leave it out.
