It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

I'm gonna throw a name in the ring that i know will get mixed reaction.....James Maddison.

I think he would be a pretty decent replacement. Good on the ball and gets lots of assists

 

[richards30]

IF Bernardo is sold - who do you think we'll go in for. I like to think Bellingham but being realistic that probably won't happen this summer

Joao Felix? Nkunku now and move either Foden or Grealish more central?

How long has he got left on his contract ? I could see the fee being eye watering, anyway I’d be surprised if Berni goes this summer.

It’s such a shame because what a team we have. I don’t want to be beaten by a worse team just because there is more of them.

If we could just bring In 2 or 3 we could have a season like no other with luck. It’s not like we haven’t been saving up!

I know, completely agree.
At the moment the plan must be to reward Ake for some good form and play him at left back more often. JWE will have to get some minutes too. And that frees up walker and cancelo rotating at right back occasionally.
It's square pegs in round holes again though, we've signed one left back since peps joined really, not counting Angelino, with the wealth we have it's just not good enough.

No. According to fresh reports coming out of Spain, apparently they're ready to pull a 4th lever, whatever the fuck that is... \0/

It's for the trap door that finally flushes them down the shitter

Werner back to Leipzig on a permanent deal.

£160M worth of strikers Chelsea have let go this summer

The wealth’s irrelevant really, we still have to comply with the regulations. Just because the left back we signed has barely played, he’s still here, on the books and getting paid. And of the above, the only square peg in a round hole is Cancelo and that’s not so bad. We still might sign one anyway.

Considering the average positions of Walker and Cancelo yesterday, if they need a rest, Mahrez and Philips could fill in!

I've still got concerns about our defensive ability at left back against the best wingers, particularly in the CL, but we should be fine against most PL teams.

Ignoring availability, I'm still struggling to see a left back who would improve our first team with the way we play or wouldn't be a big drop off if 2nd choice.

Sanches and Ruiz to PSG for £40m combined, would have had both of those tbh

 

[Cobwebcat]

He’s supposedly a bit of an arse too.

So I hear. What specifically has he done? Or just a general Billy Big Bollocks?

 

[BringBackSwales]

and this bankrupt club wants Bernie

Hope the fuckers never do anything serious, like throwing paper planes, singing you’re not incredible or being 20 seconds late for the second half, otherwise they’ll be in big trouble.

 

[decmancity]

Neither get anywhere near the starting 11 and we already have options in midfield.

 

[Kompany Car]

He would seamlessly replace Bernardo,not quite the quality and a bit of a gobby ****...but the style is the same.

Doesnt have the same work rate. Dont know what his stats are for distance covered per match but from watching him I would guess it will be considerably less than Bernie.
He's certainly a skillful player however and can play some killer passes.
Ward-Prowse would be a good addition if Bernie goes but Im not sure he would leave Southampton.

 

[BringBackSwales]

I wonder how much Chelsea’s write off in their accounts will be for Werner but presumably it’s not an issue with uefa as they aren’t Arab owned

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

I’m not sure, but there was something about 15 months ago where the Leicester fans were saying he’d done something he may have got sacked/sold for.

Doesn’t a change of owner give them carte Blanche from when he took over?

I'd sooner Ward-Prowse.

Ornstein: Barcelona threaten legal action over Frenkie de Jong contract

Barcelona have told the Manchester United and Chelsea target that they want him to revert a previous contract

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

I'd sooner Ward-Prowse.

Him in the role Kyle played yesterday would be amazing imo.

No, they can get agreement with UEFA to exceed FFP for a set period with an explanation of how they get back within limits as I understand. But any amortised fees will be on the books of years.
