Yep, Ferguson and a certain pompous Frenchman unfortunately springs to mindI think we have one eye on Walker's contract situation, in relation to his age and wages, going forward.
Probably more likely we are putting down a marker with Chelsea if they don't sort his wages out, or we get a heads-up.
Chelsea have plenty to do, but clubs have got lucky before when they have thrown a name into the conversation.
Kyle is still in great shape but is approaching an age where his legs could go very suddenly.
Remember the surprise when Ratboy quit mid season after getting a couple of chasings and suddenly realising his body wasn’t up to it anymore?
Succession planning and future proofing is a huge part of recruitment and squad management
So #WeComeNotToPlay did say we'd hear Neymar news in 36 hours. Ha. Still far from believing in it though.
Good lord keep Ziyech and Werner far away from this club!My cousin is a chelsea season ticket holder, so i mentioned about us asking for Reece-James and got the predictible "fuck right off" reply, but he did mention that there's rumours that they would consider offering Werner or Ziyech!

James would surely mean no Cucurella?

I've got no interest in Ziyech but if we're losing Sterling i think Werner could be a decent option. He's spent a couple of years in the league and i think would suit our style.Good lord keep Ziyech and Werner far away from this club!
But you DID mention aguero who left last summer and wasn't replaced... seemingly for you, he's relevant in the whole "x replaces Y" thing, which is why you've ignored that we signed haaland. sorry I just think you're being inconsistent here.
I did, becsuse we replaced him. With Haaland. Like I said earlier. It is both relevant and fair.
We can go as far back as you want with the who replaced who, hey remember when we signed DeBruyne? or that we technically never replaced Sane. Did bernardo replace david, or was it foden, or grealish, or all 3. Doesn't really matter, and you are kind of missing my point entirely.
You feel more confident this season then last. I feel the opposite. Doesn't really mean either of is is right, doesn't mean it can be quantified or argued. I'm just telling you what I think/feel.
When sergio left, although Grealish coming in wasn't a direct replacement, I felt it wasn't a huge loss, given how much time he was out injured and we were adding another attacking midfielder. I felt we could cope. I really expected Jesus to play a bigger part. Expected Delap to at least feature. Expected far more from Jack. We won the league and it was great. And got knocked out of the cups, two due to squad depth imo one due to a lack of a goal scorer when really needed.
This year that hole has been filled, with Haaland, and a promising forward added in Alvarez. Dinho replaced with Phillips, all fucking great. But, I still feel that losing Gabi and Raz weakens us more than losing Sergio did (assuming neither is replaced).
Can't help it, can't maybe explain it well enough for you, but that's what I feel. Only this.
Don’t laugh but Pep likes Werner and I wonder…as we are talking to Chelsea….
There is a good player there, he is rapid and can play all along the front line.
