I’d be very worried about the quality of our internal discussions if the only attackers they can think of are Toney and DCL, x

We have already spent upwards of 40m on an attacker, have you forgotten?

Can't believe these Chalobah rumours. Why would we sign Chelseas rejects? He's not better than anyone we currently have at CB.

Aged 25, therefore can improve and we already have Yoro and Maguire so he will be good for squad depth. We don't look like we have a defensive prospect from the Academy knocking on the door currently so a young, English CB could be a good pick up.
 
Jason cundy (i know hes not everyones cup of tea, but he is very much a chelsea man) reckoned Chaloboah was there best player when he came into the side for last 10 games, which was when they went on their long unbeaten run.

We do seem to have about 5 potential Ins and 5 potential outs on the go, all dependent on each other.

It will take years to properly rebuild the club. We will maybe compete for PL title in 3 years - not sooner.

You're correct, ETH is probably a goner with the current state of the squad.

We were 2nd the season before. Arsenal competed for titles last 2 years so did liverpool with so much churn.

This 3 year stuff and everything being dependant on new signings is just excusemaking even before the season.

Hes either stealing the info from elsewhere (most likely) or he may have a source at United academy level as hes posted a few times about youth players that you would expect to be common knowledge.

Just looking at his agency - SEG, I imagine his sources are agencies. I don't particularly like Romano, but I don't think he steals info.

Reality has hit that we're in a financial hole and will probably only sign one more player or two dependent on sales. Not good news for ETH as I think he needs more than that.

That's what happens when you push for Anthony at 80 million and a crocked Mason Mount for 55 million. He has his finger prints over both of those signings.

Transfer fees are not the managers concern and they don't get involved in that end of things. If a real is a risk to the ability to do future deals and/or cashflow then the club are supposed to have the expertise in place to make that call.

And whose fault is that? With the famous VETO and spending 100m on Anthony, 55m mount etc etc!
 
It feels like there’s an generation of players that if they aren’t starting consistently for top teams by 21/22 then they are deemed not good enough or seemingly never will be. Chalobah is in this category it seems. For me I can see why he is of interest to us, as he is similar to Guehi.

Both were top prospects for both club and country and made mistakes and fell out of favour under managers under pressure. One left and has become a full international and the other may get the chance this season.


They have similar attributes too, good all round without necessarily being great. I’ts a good base to work from for me but we will see.

It looks like we have no money left. Have to sell some players to buy someone, and we're not good at selling, nor we have good assets for sale.

It's gonna be another long season and probably again no UCL next season(2025/26).

What a ridiculous overreaction :rolleyes:

I think we are at an impasse. No one wants to pay the valuation of the players we want to get rid and clubs are quoting us ridiculous prices for the players we are interested in. It's a game of chess in play. Let's see who budges first.

I just hope that we are able to make another solid midfield signing to pair with Mainoo. Rest is bonus.

Those first two sentences sum it up perfectly

As much as I'm happy with McTominay as a useful squad player, if we're struggling to offload some of the less wanted options then we might have to accept a lower fee than we should in order to help get a much more important starting DM in.

Glad we turned down the £17m bid though. A goalscoring CM is worth a lot more than that. It's just that awkward thing that the ones that we should sell first are on high wages, making a sale harder. Ones like McTominay, who we could afford to keep, and not on as high a wage, are the ones easier to find a buyer.

Something's got to give if we're to bring in those much needed two or three more additions.

Yep. Just posted similar, but that sums it up very succinctly.

He definitely needs about another 6 players

Should of been a goner anyway

He will have time as long as we play to our capabilities
We were one of the worst teams to watch in Europe and limped to 8th.
If we get top 4 and improve our form against the top 7 clubs he will get time
 
ArbeitervonWien said:
Yeah, maybe that's the more plausible reason. Then again, Casemiro didn't seem to enjoy himself a lot last season either.
Click to expand...
Yeah thats true as well I was really disappointed with Casemiro's last season performances , I just hope if he stays it isn't the encore of last season for our Sake .
 
Been out all day not checking news.... am devastated that we have not wrapped up a minimum of 3 deals since this morning

How can there be any deals when the team are only flying to the US today. Surely, they need to be out there so Ashworth can leave on urgent transfer business?

It becomes extremely urgent transfer business when the DoF has to parachute out of a plane over the Atlantic to get a deal done.

There's others to take care of it. You surely can't believe only Ashworth is going to be dealing with transfers.



Edit : I thought the same couple of weeks back when we signed Yoro with all of these guys out in Norway for our pre-season. My guess is that Vivell and Hargreaves will be working on the transfers.

I think @sparx99 was making a joke that's gone over your head there mate
 
Woodzy said:
Not every player has to be signed for the first team, and he's arguably a better option than Linderlof and Maguire.

I remember people kicked off when we were linked with Akanji a few years ago, look how he turned out for City.

With that being said, obviously De Ligt or Branthwaite would be my preferred options but the fact is we need another CB and we need to be able to afford it.

He's not better than Maguire.
