Going PSGLyon have put a price tag of 43 million euros on Barcola apparently when Chelsea asked about him. So if Doku doesn’t happen that seems a very good deal.

Not sure Laporte mobile enough for thatLaporte I personally think we could have adapted into a John Stones type role, he's a good passer of the ball.
Cancelo, its a case of get what we can, he's one of the highest paid on the wage bill and no doubt will have bonuses on top should we win anything. Loan with a mandatory buy is by far our best option if a sale isnt possible, even if we need to take a haircut on value. 250k a week adds up rather rapidly for an asset you're not using.
Agreed. His long ball is better than Johns, but he hasn't got John's quick feet. I'm disappointed there isn't room for him. He's not the first who's role has become redundant under Pep and he won't be the last.Not sure Laporte mobile enough for that
Absolutely bang on.There is nothing better than to see an academy player come through the ranks and establish themselves in the first team. I'm sure we would all like to see more of it. However we will not sacrifice trophy success for it.
I think it comes down to how you define giving them a chance. In my book it's giving them minutes here and there and if they step up to the plate they get more and more game time. It happened to Foden and Lewis and will now hopefully happen more with Palmer. What you don't do is go into the season with a squad depleted of genuine first team players so that you are relying on these academy players to step up. This level of expectation is not fair on the players and is more likely to hinder them imo.
We have a front 5 squad of only 6 first team players Haaland, Alvarez, Foden, Grealish, Bernardo and Kovacic. Players who we know we can rely on to play large amount of minutes in a team fighting for the league and champions league. We definitely need two more to add to that before the window shuts.
Just reading your inane and inconsequential thoughts the past few pages made my head swirl.slow down you dribbling idiot, you're a bit of a dick
Watching the Levekusen v. Leipzig game, there are 3 take-aways :
1 - Wirtz would be a lot better in CM tham Olmo.
2 - Leipzig have no CM to speak of.
3 - Some unfunny div will write something to do with food in reply to this post because of the word take-away
:)
They could even install a Subway.Would you say that Leverkeusen are able to drive-thru Leipzig's midfield rather easily?
