they got battered by Dortmund for the most part, we just need to be clinical and ruthless. We're twice the team Dortmund are and still will be.
But we can’t go into such meetings with injured players and a half-cooked midfield. We don’t need too many more players, just fit and dependable ones.
exactly but complaing about who others buy rather than who we buy is a weird way to go. we bought x, yeah but madrid bought Y is odd. are we better? if the answers yes thats all you need. we can only control that
hell no, the only chavs player worth anything is reece james if he wasn't made of stuff that more fragile than glass, would've been perfect walker replacement
They're getting rid and bringing in Tosin on a free as an upgrade. Im not suggesting we should do this but we would be better off just bringing club trained Tosin back on a free if we were in the market for cheap cb cover over Chalobah.
By all accounts the deal at Chelsea isn't even that great, he just doesn't want to move house etc. Seems settled in London.
Indeed. We had/have plenty of other, cheaper and better options if additional cb cover was wanted.
yes, but same as THB better at LCB, we're mostly likely looking for a RB/RCB in the theory above.
think he'd be a perfect understudy to Gvardiol but at the age he is, probably needs solid game time to improve faster.
Yes, I keep seeing people talk about Braithwaite and Van Der Ven but I feel like our more immediate need is on the right. And yes, in a perfect world you go big and get everyone you can, but even 3 “generational” left footed CBs who are essentially the same age seems a bit excessive?! Of course, I suppose Pep could totally figure out a system that worked - “no right sided defenders” could be his next strategic innovation.
