Random Rumours

The rumours are that it’s us and Liverpool that are looking at Murillo. Liverpool will be all over Van De Ven I reckon if he’s available so that might give us a clear run at Murillo.

 
I’d MUCH rather have Van de Ven than Murillo but then again I’d MUCH rather have Murillo than 66% of our current options so…

Sign them both and play VDV on the left wing.

Seriously though, I’m just fundamentally against signing any player from them.

Not really. If Van der Ven goes to Liverpool it gives Tottenham a clear run at Murillo.

 
The thing is we’ve had plenty of opportunities to find an upgrade for Trev but our special sporting directors keep failing consistently. More chances we sign the next Badiashile rather than the next Terry. I’d rather keep Trev until we know we have a couple of top centre backs that can stay fit. Even then I’d quite like to keep Trev even if it’s just as a backup.

The club tried to get rid of him, you have fans not rating him yet he was a starter under Poch, starter under Maresca and now starter under Rosenior.

 
 Liverpool and Chelsea looking at £50m (€57.5m / $68m) for Murillo [23] of Notts Forrest. 

Back in for Murillo – a bit short for a CB maybe? But then again the same height as Thiago Silva – and he worked out just fine. Brazilian lads already at the club and so he will feel at home and he will be 24 this summer and although a little old for us, not too ancient.

 Chelsea are apparently listening to offers for Tosin Adarabioyo, Benoit Badiashile and Trevoh Chalobah

Murillo played years under Nuno and recently under Dyche, very hard to asses how he will fare playing for Chelsea.

 
If you want cb who is better than Chalobah at defending the box, just play Disasi.

What? The same Disasi who has constantly f**ked up and cost us goals?

 
I actually think getting CBs pairings that work well is a bit of an art.

Also they need a good relationship with the keeper as trust needs to be established.

When we had Terry and Cech it all looked so easy I think those times were an exception rather than the rule.

Issue is Maresca and Rosenior keep changing their back line. The best CB pairings are set, and never change barring any injury. Just pick a pair and stick with them for a 10-15 game stretch. The issue is they have a guy on £200k/w that can’t play consecutive games and needs to be “managed”, that is a big problem.

 
Going into next season for every CL/PL game barring injury it should be Levi + Josh or Sarr, let the chemistry build and go from there, it might be rough as they find their feet but gametime is the only way forward.

Trev is a fantastic rotation option, Fofana we should look to offload as he isn’t built for the game over here unfortunately.

 
We really need to nail down a statement centre back. It’s a position we’ve constantly screwed around with and never got right. Everyone has a different opinion on the best pairing. Which to me means it’s not right.

Like I said break the bank for Van der Ven. I think we’d have more success buying from the league rather than experimenting with teenagers from lesser leagues.

I’d even go to the extreme and say if we’d have bought Harry Maguire back when he was out of favor he’d still be a starting centre back for us. That might be because his flaws are over exaggerated but mainly how poor the recruitment has been.

 
Yeah, they'll pay double pw than we will. Also we have to sell first, and who's buying Tosin, Disasi and Badiashile

Tosin will be easy.

I can see Tosin at like a West Ham. It'll be a low transfer fee that'll include the rest of his wages.

Badiashile's and Disasi's remaining book value come the summer is £20m. Tough to get rid without taking a book loss. It'll be a loan with option to buy to a Serie A or Ligue 1 side I reckon. (watch Badiashile conveniently get injured in the transfer window again).

We'll likely still be stuck with them come next season and Lawrence Stewart still won't be held accountable.

 
Not really, the main criticism on Chalobah is his aerial and box defending. These are Disasi strengths.

If that's the case, he should go and play in the NBA, not football.
