It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

Southampton arent buying any of our players if they get relegated

Gvardiol - Why do we need another CB, even if we sell Laporte?
A worst tackle success % than all our defenders. Worse aerial duel % than all but Akanji.
Can play left back and offer you no more than Ake does/would.

Just not buying the hype. Decent passer with pace but average defensively.
 

What are the upsides on an 90mil+ outlay?

It just feels like pep is trying to build the 3-2 backline in build up like he did at barca. Having Rico as inverted RB and Gvardiol as auxillary cb. Walker has to adapt or see the bench.

Looks like he’s collected an awful lot of opponents’ shirts over the years. There’s loads on the table there but only City and West Ham gets framed. That’s pretty much a City shrine if you ask me ;)

I think he's said in the past that Yaya was one of his favourite players as well as David Silva.

I'm guessing because when I've watched him he's always been a bit of a dick on the pitch. Flys into tackles tells other players to do one and sticks up for his team mates. He's also young so he can improve, also showing leadership qualities

And Croatian - is it really true that no team has ever won the champions League without a Croatian in the squad?

Rice is levels below Rodri and he’d cost a fortune. If Phillips doesn’t work out, I’d prefer to see us re-sign Lavia.

I also don’t want Rice, he’s too much huff and puff for me (although I do think we need some more raw energy in the team) and not enough finesse to take us to the next level

All aboard! Toot toot!

Is that you Tommy ?

It would be odd for West Ham to be open to selling Rice but I guess if he wants to go they need to cash in. Moyes openly said the other day if he was to leave it would break the British transfer record which does concern me. I get that KP could be going back which helps. If we truly want Bellingham and I hope we do that’s 100+, Gvardiol again I hope we sign is 100. This is all adding up and although I’m not massively concerned about these charges I just can’t see us going for essentially 3 100m deals in the same window.

Maybe we’re lining the Moyesiah up to replace Pep?
