Chelsea need 3 defenders, one central midfielder, and probably another forward player amazingly enough. Feel like Chalobah, Gallagher, and another fringe player can step forward, but they'll need cover at fullback and another CB. Losing Saul, Kante is getting on, so that leaves Jorginho and Kovacic.
Looks like G.Neville has poached United's U23 coach for Salford. Wood has done a great job for United hopefully we have someone lined up to replace him.
Good riddance. I would argue he was solely responsible for Liverpool’s CL and PL triumphs. Only scored crucial goals. Liverpool’s jammiest trump card.
I don't think he's done a great job to be honest, he's decent, but I dont think he's done anything to get the Salford job. Jobs for the boys again.
He'll probably be back before pre-season starts the way Salford go through managers.
So was Alan Smith
According to The Athletic, he was a Liverpool fan growing up and his family weren't as tied to Leeds as Phillips's are.
But it's not a good signing if he's rubbish. There is no guarantee he'd be any better than Fred, McTominay or Garner. We've seen so many examples of this already where somebody is 'definitely' better and then they get to the PL and turn out to be very average.
He would be because he's an actual defensive midfielder. It really isn't hard to be better than them in our team, because we have no player bar Matic, who plays that role. Whether he's good enough for where we WANT to be, is the real question.
Arsenal, who are quite far ahead of us, have Xhaka/El Neny, it's clear we could be considerably better with a team with more balance, not necessarily a flashy player.
Yet, we've consistently finished above Arsenal with Fred and McTominay instead fo Xhaka and Elneny. This season has been a disaster. I just don't want us to sign a DM just because he's free. Arguably, its our most important signing this season and if that's where the biggest fee has to go so be it. He might be the answer he might not.
From Leeds to City. The lad will enjoy stuffing us twice a season.
You're missing the point about balance though, Arsenal are now a more balanced team with their signings, hence the upturn and our downturn by having such little balance.
He's not just free either, Atletico are strongly linked to be the team that are most likely to get him. It's not like they would sign an average player, they have league aspirations. It's an important signing, but I think people are other thinking what we actually need. It's just a profile of player and skill set we should be looking for. he has a similar skill set to Rice, with a few differences in strengths.
It really depends how ETH wants to play and if he wants someone in the mould of De Jong in the 6 position, then we shouldn't be going for Kamara. If we want a DM/false CB type, Kamara is an extremely attractive option on a free.
Thomas Frank simping hard here.
There seems to be a common theme here, everyone we’re linked with is reported to cost €70-80m and that isn’t happening with a rumoured budget of £120m.
indeed. i’ve done the maths and even if we take the lower value quotes, £70m, it still doesn’t stack up.
70-120=-50
there is no such thing as negative pound coins.
I dont think its a firm figure. Insinuated they can back more, plus Timer fee is half that, reportedly. I think we will likely offload Baily, Jones on top and maybe one other.
Hmmm. What if you take the higher value quotes?
We are linked with Milinkovic-Savic in EVERY transfer window. Is he the new Gaitan?
The cost of having in the team is VERY EXPENSIVE.
Joe Jordan, Gordon McQueen, Eric off course!, Rio Ferdinand
none died in wool Leeds fans I guess but still Leeds - United path taken
I think we all want the finished article because we have such a crap track record at developing players over the last five years.
They're professionals not fans. If he has a chance to play for Manchester United he has to seriously consider that, he'll never get to play for anyone bigger.
As much as 120m??? We're so screwed if that's all we've got. As for player sales yeah, good one, we'll make a ton there as usual
I am becoming more and more aware that we're not being linked with any dms. Going to be same situation again next season.
Not sure how reliable but this makes sense to me. Dani Alves took his place in the team and he's worked under ETH at Ajax. Could be a good option for us.
