You're right. Out of anybody, chalobah deserves a chance first.

 

Based on What? Clearly not how he performed last season.

Can we discuss about Pogba please?

Well the latest is his agent saying he isn't leaving Juventus... So not much to discuss. 

all a bit quiet on the ol' transfer front. starting to get the feeling we really aren't going to be making many more purchases.

Good, we dont really need to make many more. We needed at least one striker, a left back, a midfielder (possibly 2) and maybe a centre back. We now have most of that in place.

You do know the wondows open a while longer yet right? We definitely have more coming in as we haven't yet signed Tiago and Luis.

didn't know that - cheers!

 

seriously though, I dont think we need to be buying a lot of players. If we end up with costa, fabregas, luis and tiago then I think it's a fairly decent summer's business.

Yeah agreed

If you look at barca, real and l'arse they have all strengthened mightily. Real are getting kruse and Rodrigues !to go with bale and Ronaldo for flecks sake.

zero relevance to us unless we happen to come across them in the champions league. Our immediate concern should be strengthening of immediate and direct domestic rivals.

Since when are Real getting rodriguez?

I am tired of the way the youth system is being handled.

Since when are Real getting rodriguez?

Since he shone at the World Cup.

So he deserves a shot but a young striker who has scored about 15 goals in the PL the last two years doesnt? Ok...

What about all of our other talented young midfielders that have had success on loan? Piazon, Chalobah, Thorgan, Atsu. The list goes on and on. Where are their chances?

He is written off right away because of how this club handles youth.

I never said those others you mentioned don't deserve a chance so not sure what you are implying there?

As for Lukaku, well as far as I am concerned he should keep his mouth shut like all the others names you mentioned. I prefer him to stay but if he is going to be a 21 year old distraction send him packing. Enough of Lukaku already. He has three threads going, certainly doesn't need another.

Since when are Real getting rodriguez?

I know it is Goal.com but they claim Barca made a 90m offer to Monaco. Rodriguez has ready said he prefers Madrid so I guess he will go to Madrid along with Kroos.

That's the thing. The premier league teams will never compete with the likes of real madrid or Barcelona when it comes to uber talented youngsters from south America. We usually get those players at the end of their careers. Either that or they head to Italy to end their career.

We aren't even allowed to compete.

According to Manchester Evening News

Manchester City are mulling over a move for Everton star Ross Barkley as they plan for life without Yaya Toure and the Blues could also target French star Paul Pogba.

Isn't City's spending limit £50m this summer after their FFP fine? 

Isn't City's spending limit £50m this summer after their FFP fine?

Is it? That surely doesn't include any money they make from sales, so say they sell Toure for £30 mil (not that they will) dods that mean they have an extra £30 mil to spend or is the £50 mil limit still there?

Total spend of £50m, so like you say they can raise additional funds through player sales. 

 

They're apparently about to sign Mangala for £32m having already signed Fernando for £12m and I think they signed a goalkeeper for about £3m so that's basically the £50m right there. 

 

How they would raise funds for Barkley, let alone Pogba I don't know... Unless I've misunderstood their FFP sanctions.

Hmm, could just be paper talk BS as usual though, but it does say that they want to replace Toure but how much would they even get for him? I get the feeling. Barkley would cost around £40 mil been an English Talent and Juve supposedly want £60 mil for Pogba so they aren't gonna raise a £100 mil from sales, plus that article is dependent on Toure been sold which I don't think will happen this window anyway and certainly not for £100 mill.

I've read various forums and other media sites, and for some reason people seem to think that we are still going to get pogba. I really don't understand why people still think this. I am not talking about chelsea supporters either; our rival fans still seem worried we will get him. It would be great, but 60 million?! Doubt it.

Yeah not gonna happen I don't think either. I do think we won't be done even after we secure Luis and Tiago (well of) as I think we'll be after another forward.
