Not that I am for signing him either, but find it strange most really dont want him due to his age on a free transfer and people are happy with Ighalo staying on. NO disrepect to Ighalo but Cavani is in a different league to him

They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

Yes I know that
The only credible link is Andre Onana, but that has also quieted down recently.
Chelsea signs 5 very good (If not better) players, while we are signing.... well, NO ONE so far...
By project I read it as "A move isnt feasible for Pogba this summer, so my new project is gettign a hefty fee out of a massive new contract with him from the club. ALl is relaxed though as if he doesnt sign a new contract I can look to move him on again anyway for a big agent fee"....The guy is in the thesaurus of quoted, his photo next to Fergusons line about checking under the pasta
I know the window is open until October, but considering how soon the new season starts, it is quite concerning our lack of movement in the market. Not one signing and only one fairly major out in Sanchez. Starting to really fee its another window of doing nowhere near enough numbers wise. Was hoping 3/4 in and 5/6 out, starting to wonder if its 1/2 in and 3/4 out....doesnt matter who is in and out, that would be a poor window in terms of what we have and dont need and what we do still need
Might we see more changes in PSG?
Nope, none. Which is super weird because it was our most obvious need this summer.
Are we still at the 'preparing a bid' stage for David Brooks for 40m? Or 'poised to make a bid' stage maybe? Or do we intend to do all the business in the last week of window?
Pochettino for sure would be the man they'd turn to to replace Tuchel if any truth in it
The plan is (probably): wait until late in the window to see if Dortmund fold and give us a discount in Sancho. They won't. We'll then make a move for Brooks in the final week of the window.
Based on reliable reports:
- We are still working on getting Sancho.
- Payment structure the only problem
To be fair, the players that are going to lose their spot to them should not really be starting week in week out for Chelsea. If they can add a good GK they will have turned their team upside down, strenghtening the first 11 and assembling a very strong bench. I think they have a very good chance to join the fight with Liverpool and City.
Well they kept things really really quiet in 2018 and everything suggests that this window will suffer a similar fate.
Forget the Fred & McTominay experiment Ole next season and just go and pay his release clause
I think you're being disingenious here. 2018 had few transfers, but we were linked with several players that Mourinho wanted but the rest of the club didn't. This summer, however, we don't even have many reliable, extended links outside of Sancho and Gabriel. Coman and Douglas Costa were brief whilst Grealish was touted by the British media outside of the reliable sources.
2 this summer vs. 5 from 2018 (Dalot, Fred, Alderweireld, Maguire, Perisic)
Yep whilst Ole is left to contemplate the prospect of having to peddle out the infamous "no value in the market" line just to save his bosses asses again.

Is Partey's ceiling higher than McTominay's? Cos if it's pretty close, we may as well get Thiago and allow McTominay to develop as his understudy.
Imagine firing a guy that set out a great gameplan only to be letdown by his 450 million dollar duo. PSG are goofy.
Sadly he only has eyes for Mr Heavy Metal brand of Football
Does he really though? They're not convinced enough to pay a paltry fee for him. We could steal a march. Of course, all this could just be fantasy if we don't have any money.
Di Marzio seemed skeptical reporting this. Or uncomfortable? Weirded out? Like, he reported it so obviously he thought the sources credible enough, but at the same time found it hard to believe
Who wouldn't? If we look at the managers under Qatari ownership, Tuchel's been their most successful manager. Why would they look to sack him when he's made so much progress?Di Marzio seemed skeptical reporting this. Or uncomfortable? Weirded out?

The only exception to this would be if Tuchel himself has been difficult to deal with, and they want to let him go for someone less disruptive.
Pretty certain things will move rapidly on this deal now sadly for us
That remains to be seen. Personally id love to have him for a season so he can teach the likes of Maguire and Lindelof how to be a leader at the back.
If we’d have gone near Thiago Silva I’d have been very underwhelmed but I think he could be decent for Chelsea given their 3 CB’s Tamori, Zouma and Rudiger could do with some experience and guidance around them.
FFS please no one let Ole come out with that line
Yeah would take him but Utd will not meet his wage demands that is for sure
For me, I think it stems from the fact that Greenwood is a striker, and should be getting striker minutes. Sure Cavani would be a good signing, but people are more considered about the wing.
Just think he would offer us something different to our front three and is more experienced and clinical than Ighalo
He'd also be way, way more expensive than Ighalo. Benfica pulled out of the deal and aren't willing to pay him; why would we commit so much money on a player who may or may not be keen on playing for us?
Absolutely fair. If we don't get a winger, and Greenwood will spend the season out wide, it would be a great alternative.
Okay so I'm usually an optimist in here but now that the EL and CL are behind us I'm expecting some legitimate movement the next two weeks. Especially now that Harry s back from his vacation.
Really can't decide if this is happening because Pogba has had word we are signing a couple of quality players or is it just purely Ashton PR stuff again
Woodward be like - "Hold my beer"
That just isn’t true is it. Other than Bailly and Lindelof every transfer has been known about for weeks before we sign the player.
They've been posting those same tweets for many years
Lukaku came out of the blue after some early noise to be fair, it looked dead and that we were going to sign Morata and then....we ended up with Lukaku suddenly.
