Another LB? Unless we are moving on either Cucurella/Chilwell in Jan and good luck finding a buyer for either, I just can’t see it. We are paying the highest wages for the LB role in European football (around £410k/w for the pair), I can’t see how we can add a 3rd with no European football.

Irony is in Livramento & Aina we had 2 youngsters who could cover both flanks, and we let them go. Ideally come the summer we will have to lose the wages of one of James/Chilwell/Cucurella and sign a fullback who can cover both flanks. Balde at Barca is quality and can play both flanks but I can’t see Barca selling without us offering a record fee. 

I agree it would be crazy to have 3 LB's. We would have to move on at least 1. But honestly, unless we have another youngster that can play LB, it is either sign another, or persist with Colwill or another player out of position.

I disagree with that. 

Caicedo has been pretty poor recently, last game very poor. I still think he has potential to improve though. I'll be honest I never wanted us to sign him for that price tag just because he only had one season in the PL. But last season he looked excellent in almost every department, so there has to be something there, I just don't think he's gelling well in this current setup. Same with Enzo for that matter who I do think is a superb player. 

I think Gallagher has been bang average most games though. But people usually see things through a different lense for certain players, a youth player with a good attitude and works hard is always going to get the benefit of the doubt compared to a newbie who has a massive price tag. 

You don't agree that Caicedo and Enzo is better than Gallagher. That's a terrible statement. 

But we had Gallagher before, but the club and we the fans knew we needed a new DM and CM, that was why we bought Enzo and Caicedo.

Gallagher wasn't good enough, that was why we bought Enzo and Caicedo. Now the fans are changing, they want Gallagher, they don't want Enzo and Caicedo again.

The problem here is that people just like to keep changing, not that Gallagher is better than Enzo and Caicedo.

It's better to be consistent.

No I do think they are better players. 

But I think Gallagher has played better overall. That's not due to Gallagher playing amazingly well, that's due to the team being absolute w**k all season, that's why were in the bottom 10.

Check my previous posts, I've talked about why people are saying Gallagher is better than Enzo and Caicedo this season. He's not better than them. They are better than him.

Ramires was a good midfielder. He was a box to box player, he could make tackles and he could score goals. He was also a technical player, remember his goal against Barcelona.

Gallagher cannot score that kind of goal. How many goals has Gallagher scored for us this season?

Not really bleeding circles. These are the truths. Enzo and Caicedo are definitely better than Gallagher.

FFS, bleeding circles because all this started because i merely stated an opinion that for me Enzo still appears to be overrated and i couldn't give a toss about comparing with any other players. For the player that he was touted as, world cup winner, young player of the tournament, Chelsea board allegedly disprespecting Declan Rice, missing out and then paying 100m for Enzo, I remain unimpressed with what we have seen thus far.

Its not a hate post, its just a simple opinion.

So what has he done this season to appear to be overrated? He lost possession at times in some matches, he can improve on that, but people shouldn't be talking about that at all, he did some other nice things, we can still stick with him, not bring in Gallagher for him.

We spent £1b in one year, we bought the players available, we shouldn't be talking about problems, the only problem in the team is Jackson, and Nkunku can replace him now.

It should be better times now. We should be talking of 15 wins in a row, we've had it before, if the fans will permit.

Watching the Gooners vs Hammers, wish we'd signed Kudus, when we were linked with him, he looks a right player.

If he'd came to us he'd probably be playing sh*te too 🙄
