Wc is over now there’ll be a few on the market that maybe we don’t know about yet (4 weeks left in the window)
It's over?!
Shit....did we beat Croatia and France? ;-)

But adl just said the fee was agreed 2 weeks ago..
Guess we've heard differently. I heard City were still faffing about with installment lengths etc. Price agreed yep, but not how it was gonna be paid. Tallies with everything his agent said about no confirmation between the clubs too and how they were just waiting for the green light
That’s that then. Glad we didn’t get this guy after all.
I agree about Toure and see the comparison on age. I hope we have an alternative but sometimes you have to adapt to what you have as they did with the Mendy injury. Player for player we still have the best squad in the league. Not convinced we will see another DM before the window closes but I am sure we will have been looking over the last 2 weeks. The alarm bells must have been ringing regardless of him being on holiday since the fee was agreedNone of those players are good enough to cover Fernandinho. People are looking to short-term. Fernandinho is out on his feet and 34 next birthday - you strengthen now - not when things drop off a cliff.
I made this same argument on Toure for years.
Too many have got warm and cosy - thankfully, Pep won't have been sat watching re-runs of our wins from last season.
There's so much bad logic in here it's painful.
"We have the same 1st 11." - Except it's weaker, it's older, a bunch of key players have had shorter offseasons.
"Add Mahrez remove Yaya and we are better." - That's not how it works. You can't just keep removing defensive midfielders for wingers and pretend you're better.
"Gundo and Delph are midfielders just like Fabinho and are capable to stand in" - Well lets just hope the incredibly injury prone Mendy doesn't get another injury and can immediately play 3x a week for 9 months, or Gundogan gets another injury, or David Silva or KDB suffer after a shorter summer, because you've now booked 2 players to cover about 5 positions on the pitch.
"i'm not convinced Jorginho was a like for like anyway, he won't be better than Kante" Why are you comparing 2 completely different midfielders who will do completely different jobs at Chelsea?
This isn't flapping, it's accepting that we need a proper cover/replacement for Fernandinho, and sticking your head in the sand shouting "didn't want him don't need him" is not the answer to not signing Jorginho.
We need another midfielder to play that role, we have a very short amount of time to get it done.
It's over?!
