Random Rumours

It's gone quiet now and understandably so. Most of the available quality players have been signed and the rest are not near the end of their contracts. Now the players available are mostly squad players and backups. Unlikely we'll sign anyone big now.

Praying we don't go in for Aaron Ramsey now he's been bombed by Juve

 
It's going to be a sh*t season anyway, I'd rather we blooded a few younger players than spunk loads of money on players we'll just struggle to offload for the next 5 years.

 
Chelsea were offered Paris Saint Germain defender Thilo Kehrer this summer but didn’t show any interest in a deal.

 
Based on a purely statistical analysis, having never heard of any of these players. We should choose between the following for our next CB target:

Konstantinos Mavropanos

Boubakar Kouyaté

Amos Pieper

Well, as a german and because Mavropanos and Pieper are playing in Bundesliga I know both players very well.
Mavropanos is OK but in my eyes he is not better than Ozan Kabak who played for Liverpool and Klopp decided that he is not good enough for the dippers.
And Pieper had a very weak season with Bielefeld and they were relegated in the end from Bundesliga. Now he joined Werder Bremen but he is simply not good enough.
I see him on the same level as Malang Sarr who is making me angry every time when he is on the pitch.

I dont know Kouyaté at all. Where is he playing ?

From Bundesliga I think the best available options are Gvardiol and Pavard. Both are good defenders.

Do you think there could be anything to Upamecano. Starting to see bits now but it might be fishing by the press

So he did not convince last season. It appears to me that Upamecano could not raise his level from Leipzig to a level what is expected and needed for an elite club like Bayern or Chelsea. So it would be a very risky decision to sign Upamecano. I would definetely prefer Pavard over Upamecano.
Pavard is not fitting in Nagelsmann's system anymore because Nagelsmann likes a similar system as Tuchel with 3 CBs and wingbacks but Pavard is more an oldfashioned fullback than a wingback. So he wants to play CB but Bayern has bought extremely expensive CBs like de Ligt, Hernandez and Upamecano.
And of course these expensive transfers will have priority over Pavard because the board members want to see their transfers in action.

So I would go for Pavard instead of Upamecano.

Although not a rumour, how the f**k do West ham Pursue a striker, and then instantly get him , minimum fuss, yet everyone is linked to our targets, 'Just piss off you horrible gits'

 
Just get us Phil Jones, proven English player 😁 , and call Barca before we make a bid.

In all seriousness, I refuse to believe there aren't realistically 2-3 defenders out there who are willing to join us and improve our defence. The issue was we were doing business at snail place, moving on from 1 failed target to another. If we wanted 2 defenders, surely we could have bid for multiple players at the time.

Why should we think that this is not what Chelsea actually were, and are, doing? These are serious, sophisticated, successful, people. Let's not kid ourselves that things which are obvious to us are not also obvious to them. Just because one of our transfer pursuits happens to be attracting more attention on social media does not mean others are not on going. Of course they are.

What about Tabsopa at Leverkusen...looks to have good stats?

Yes. He is a very good CB. International player for Portugal as well. He would be a fantastic signing. Maybe evenn better than Pavard. Problem is here the price. He would be more expensive than Pavard. I think Leverkusen would ask for a price in the Jules c**t range.
