Tell Chelsea that

Chelsea weren't in the market for a world-class right footed centre back

I hope i am not wrong but i have the impression behind the scenes the big boys have been working on deals we have no idea about which in some ways is obvious but KK situation and us not even putting in a bid tells me there is something more at play here than just city haggling whilst we do need areas to strengthen ake and torres are two cracking buys all ready and will bring some much needed quality into the team.

Tell Chelsea that

They aren't finished, neither are we. Or anyone else for that matter.

Pure speculation and guess work bit I hope you're right

 

[Blootoof]

They also have transfer ban cash burning a hole.

 

[mosssideblue]

Which is pretty much the point I'm trying to make
With the experience, know how and resources our club have why leave it to the last minute? There are people employed at our club to scout players and negotiate with clubs - yet we leave it with 2 weeks to go

Hopefully I am totally proved wrong

You make out like we deliberately leave it till the last minute. We are not buying produce from a supermarket shelf.

I find it funny that some think buying players is a piece of cake

Pure speculation and guess work

What is, that almost every team are stlll working on transfers, and the season for most has already started. Don't think so.

They posted loss of over 100 million for 18/19, wouldn't say thats a cash burning hole

I don't but I'm not employed to do it
Some people in our club are and seem to make a bit of a mess going about it
If I left things to the last minute in my line of work o would be underprepared
We don't deliberately do it im sure

Stop digging mate.

What I mean is, they were always going to spend. And owing money or being in the red means fuckall to some of these clubs

 

[Carlos- the- jackal]

Peps press conference for the Wolves game might give us some clues if anything is happening on the transfer front, not actual names but maybe if deals are close to happening.

 

[sir baconface]

Negredo wasn’t a bad buy, he was a great buy. My memory of the beast was that he was a goal scoring sensation until he got that shoulder injury. He wasn’t the same after that but he was worth every penny and more when we bought him IMO.

Yes. We got a fantastic season out of Negredo and then, IIRC, got our money back. I loved his time with us.

We probably do. I would imagine leaving the bid till late would work wonders on someone who thought he could get €100 million for his player not long ago but could end up with nothing next year.

Their team is near perfect now unfortunately. We need some of their asthma sufferers to actually burn out. Without that we aren’t going to compete for the title.

FFS .....speechless

 

[Deleted member 81382]

Well, in my mind, if they have the best starting 11 in the league, not one of our players could improve it. I personally think we could.

I doubt he meant that none of our players would get in Liverpool's team. Clearly Laporte, De Bruyne, Bernardo and Aguero are better than Gomez, Wijnaldum, Keita and Firmino. I think he just meant that their first choice XI is better than what any other premier league club can put out and he's probably right although there isn't much in it between ours and theirs.

Despite losing Silva and Sane and even if they add Thiago, I still think we'd have a slightly stronger squad than them as we have a bit more strength in depth in the forward areas.

Completely agree.... you’ve only got to look back at previous windows to see we’ve got ineptitude across all aspects of the club when it come to transfers

 

[mcfc1632]

Koulibaly is better suited to to our immediate needs, but Koundé is a really highly rated 21 year old who could pay dividends for much longer.

I think the more important comparison is Kounde vs. Gimenez or Diego Carlos, and the answer to that is Koundé hands down.

Agreed - Surely we are now progressing alternatives to KK

It makes sense both as having a contingency - and for applying pressure on Napoli

 

[BringBackSwales]

I am really surprised at many of the comments in here. We have got the best manager in our history (sorry Joe), and are playing the best football in our history, as far as I can say only bring in my early 60’s. The last 10 years has been hugely the most successful in our history. Yet we still get a huge number of posters that everything isn’t quite as they would like it, slagging off players, the manager, the senior execs. Spoiled fucking cunts

 

[mcfc1632]

Yes. We got a fantastic season out of Negredo and then, IIRC, got our money back. I loved his time with us.

I am with that - only fond memories of him as a player, bloke and his commercial value
