I hope they both do leave if that means we can sign Sancho, what a player he is

If we sign Sancho, I can already see Hudson-Odoi warming the bench every big game while Pulisic and Sancho are playing. As it stands right now.

I dont think he will, I believe the estimated prices given his contract nearly being up is something around 90m.. Its crazy money but in this day and age for someone as young as he is? Its not a bad amount to spend

90m for Sancho in the current market would be an absolute steal

Unfortunately with half of Europe after him I cant see us signing him for anything less than 120m  & even at that price we would probably need Sancho to be willing to sign for us over a few others who may match the price.

Not that bothered about Sancho, the one I really want is Chilwell, what a player he is. 3 assists within 27 minutes in first half.

If we sign him, we’d be set for the next decade on full backs. Chilwell on the left, James on the right. Devastating.

On current form, yes. But CHO is coming back from a lengthy injury and we're yet to see the best of him.

Him at the end of last season was one of the main reasons that our season literally turned around, I have no doubt he will reach that form again well before the end of the season

I guess, but lets face it... He supports Chelsea, grew up with a bunch of our youth players and are actually really good friends. At this point I really can't see him going anywhere other than Chelsea tbh. Im probably getting ahead of myself  but yeah haha!

Lets wait until January or next year to see what happens though, but the next couple of windows should be very interesting ones

As I see it, the only competitor we have is United and the only reason he'd go to United is money.

What is with this strange obsession with the new david Bentley? He doesnt even play the same same position as sancho either.

You always seem to be pushing for random players that dont really seem to be better than what have. It was lewis cook, and joelinton, now its grealish. Decent players but none are better thsn what we have.

Oh my god, I forgot about his Lewis Cook obsession.  Thanks for the reminder and the chuckle this morning.

Ah yes, the always reliable red top rumor.

Jokes aside, if we add to our midfield, which I doubt we will, this is not the type of signing we will make.

There's rumours of Ricardo Rodríguez wanting out at Milan ?

It's not too tricky to rotate three players for two positions, especially at an age where form is quite flexible. That, injures and the volume of games will ensure all three get significant minutes.

We made Duff, Robben and Joe Cole work.

If we can't get Sancho then we should get Ziyech before City or Leicester get him.

Duff, JC and to a lesser extent Robben knew how to graft, personally I'm not convinced we'd get that with a trio of Sancho, Pulisic, CHO. City and Liverpool attack and defend as a cohesive unit.

I don't disagree with you - the question I ask myself is this - we know Kovacic and Jorginho can play together in a pivot and Kante's value must be north of £70m? If we're a better team with Kova/Jorginho does it not make sense to sell Kante and if so, who do we replace with? An upcoming English talent with the potential to be as good as Kante in a couple of years?

If we ever sell Kante, we should then buy Ndidi. Anyone else and it's a significant drop in quality

I find it funny that people actually talk about selling Kante. He has been our best midfielder for years in a row now.

Just because he got injured recently, everyone forgot that he at his best is not only our best midfielder but the best player in the league as well...

High quality players shouldn't be sold. Specially since we will have enough money for transfers in the summer.

Sell someone that does less, Barkley is basically a year from his peak and he hasn't been good, Kovacic can't score a goal if his life depended on it...

Leave Kante alone.

With Pedro and Willian both likely to be heading out, replacing them with Sancho and Ziyech is a good shout imo.

It'll be hard to give CHO, Sancho, Pulisic and Ziyech enough minutes though

I agree with Barkley, but Kovacic is easily one of the best players in our team. Id have him almost on par with Jorginho, and thats saying something

He's still behind Kante and Jorginho, so my point is that there is no real reason for us to sell Kante but if you want to talk about selling someone, focus on players that are worse than the world class players that we have. 

In order to improve the squad Frank must get to know if he will be able to count on RLC and Mount in the future, I personally believe that both are good talents but sadly if RLC keeps being injury prone he could be the one to leave the team and then we could just buy another great player, without selling any of our key members of the squad.

The way I see it, if RLC recovers there will be no real need to buy any new player for the central midfield, we would need to buy a winger and a left back.

Oh for sure yeah, I mean I definitely don't think we should sell Kante when he's one of the best midfielders in the world. Out of the midfielders we have currently in our first team, Barkley needs to be sold as he just isn't upto it. RLC seems really injury prone so im just unsure on his future now - But when hes playing at his best, hes a beast.

We are definitely stacked in midfield, even with quality youth prospects coming through like Gilmour and Gallagher, not to mention Mount currently (though hes fallen off in recent weeks)

As you said, defence needs a bit of work, and some quality wingers to replace the outgoing Pedro and Willian

We're competing in CL, PL, FA Cup and League Cup. We have plenty of games to go around.

But would any 2 of those be happy with not playing many CL/PL games and only getting cup games?
