What's new

Aleksandr Golovin

Once again we are doing piss all in the transfer window. Signed one player who will need to be rested and rotated during the season with no back ups. Hope Golovin is successful at Monaco. Has potential. 2 weeks left not expecting much, maybe 1 new signing and that a defender when other positions need attention. 

 
Talented player and I thought it was near done, but so be it, if this means RLC stays, I’m fine. I wish we’d target a proper winger/striker, maybe a full back.

Not too bothered to miss out on Golovin. 

However, there is 2 weeks left in the transfer market, and yet again it is looking very last minute. 

We act so slowly in the market these days it's frightening. 

I know transfers are complicated, but other teams seem capable of getting transfers done swiftly. 

 
With RLC, Barkley and mount (next year) we are set. Baka backs up Kante and cesc backs up Jorginho.

We have plenty in Golovin’s position so actually very glad this one didn’t happen. We need more English players.

Sell drinkwater though as he doesn’t really fit unless Baka goes.

 
This is the thing, we already have a set of central midfielders. I don't see exactly what Golovin would have brought. It's sounding like RLC will be brought back to the squad, we have Barkley too, and also Drinkwater, depending on what happens with him. We will only be playing with 3 in midfield and Sarri likely won't change the first team midfield that often unless necessary, so we can't play everyone. We may or may not be looking at another central midfielder, maybe a better one than Golovin, who knows. However, it's not really a position that needs much focus. 

 
Seems like we could have used Golovin. RLC needs another loan as it's unfair to make a player of his potential sit on the bench most weeks, then we don't have any attacking box-to-box player to compete with Barkley.

 
Golovin actually is a good player thats why, i was actually excited about his arrival, the squad needs freshening up, so why not!

 
If we are keeping Ruben then we would have too many in midfield. We do already imo.

Jorginho or Cesc 

Kante or baka or ampadu

Barkely or rlc or drinkwater

Or maybe ampadu is seen as a CB. That is fine. Still one too many and makes cb even more stacked:

Cahill, Luiz, ampadu , Rudiger, christensen and possibly another one from juve 6 for 2 positions?!

I disagree. Ruben needs to stay with us if we're to have any hope of keeping him. Another loan and he's as good as gone. Now's his time. He'll get his chances and when he does it's up to him to prove himself.
