Germany now have Klopp. Do ze Germans fancy a wee swap?

That idiot's comment about Reece's injury ( no one saw that coming ") is nonsense. Tuchel was Chelsea manager when Reece suffered hamstring injuries, everyone could see it coming.

Be very interesting to see how the Chelsea supporters treat him and Barco after the falklands flag debacle

He did what Southgate was panned for doing. Man for man we are better than Argentina… the occasion got to us and we slowly shrunk as we tired and retreated when we should have been playing possession football. If the prem players this season have learnt anything it’s how to have hours of pointless possession but when you actually need to keep it it gets hoofed up field to no one.

It could easily have gone the other way in this World Cup. Cucu does have a lot of weaknesses ... especially defensively. They tend to get disguised by the odd Hollywood block or interception though (as happened in the SF)

Awful player and worse person. Not in the Diego Costa or Cucurella "love him if he's one of yours" mold. Just a vile human, full stop

Another Winstanley disasterclass with this sale. Should have got £60m, minimum.

Club is clearly f**ked. Handy squad players getting sold, left with trash like Badiashile. Midway through July, pre season under way, all we have to show for it is yet another young one season wonder kid with less than 100 senior appearances.

I've always thought we have spent every World Cup since 1966 blaming managers for not even reaching a final, when in fact sometimes we simply weren't good enough or that during those 60 years other national teams were superb ( Brazil, Germany, etc etc) . BUT this defeat is all down to Tuchel, Argentina weren't a threat, Messi looked lost, then TT makes changes, we are camped around our box, no out ball possible, we were under siege, it was just a matter of time wasn't it ?.

The only way for TT to redeem himself is by beating France and bringing home a bronze medal 🥉...although he'll probably f**k that up too...🙄

Not played a single minute for us and I already hate him.

I’ve heard fans call Enzo a ‘big game player’ but that applies to players who are good every week and then excel in the big games like say Drogba. What’s the term for a player who only shows up for big games? Unprofessional ? Half hearted? Lazy? You can’t exactly call him lazy he covers some ground, maybe ineffective is a polite way of saying it. The guy has been the un droppable midfielder that has just seen us finish 10th and while I do think he is a different type of player to our other midfielders I hope Alonso doesn’t fall into the trap of trying to get a tune out of him because far to many games went on around him last season. All games are big games if you want to be successful.

With the way the Argies have behaved towards us, I genuinely would be very happy if we never signed one of their players again. It was real eye opener, or reminder, just how much they hate us.

Tuchel has regressed as a coach in recent years. He's become way too defensive minded. Remember our Champions League winning run and how he had us set up when we defended? There was always an out ball. Werner, Pulisic, Mount, Havertz, they were always available to take the pressure off the defence, and even a full back would move forward to help. He doesn't do that anymore, he goes too defensive and there is never an out ball.

I'd rather have seen James lifting a WC alongside Saka and Madueke.

I just see Enzo coming back here being an unwanted headache for Alonso and would love for someone to take him off our hands. I don’t see where he fits in our team and would rather reinvest in players that improve our 11.

Atletico aren't averse to a huge value signing - paid €127m for Joao Felix ... so could there be some mileage here ? Hjulmand and Fernandez could be a new look midfield for them to get them closer to the top 2 in Spain ?

Wasn’t his “ dream to live in Madrid “ ? Pretty sure he didn’t say Real as his preferred destination. When it comes to what they would pay they paid vast money for Felix and that was what 7 years ago so add that to the fact that slowly they are slipping down the league and getting less points than I think they probably will need to be making some sort of statement. I certainly dodnt dismiss the possibility of him going to Atletico for +£100m

Beautiful part of the wold too ... he'll enjoy living there I imagine !

Every move we've made in this window so far has weakened our squad. That includes the addition of a fresh batch of clueless 19 year olds. Unless we get a couple of proper players before the window closes, next season is going to be a very, very rough ride.

Hi ya !

Sad news for us. He's been a very good, consistent defender. Far better than the French trio we spent megabucks on and now can't sell. I know the club have to raise money - and we've been good at that over the years - but his departure weakens the squad IMO.
