Is Enzo a Fabregas player or a Pirlo type player? I am not altogether sure.  I am thinking he is more Pirlo than Fabregas though tbh. I am most likely wrong. Enzo doesnt have the pace and the acceleration that Cesc Fabregas had.

He is more a Pirlo attribute wise, but problem is Enzo thinks he is Kaka.

    The manager wants a keeper who can play with his feet, so that means at least 3 of our 8 keepers (5 on loan) can go

    Do we really need to buy another LB?

    even if we sell Chilwell, we have Cucurella, Colwill or even Gusto who can all play there

    Do we really need to buy another Midfielder?

    even WHEN we sell Connor(it will happen), we have Enzo, Chuck, Ugo, Caicedo, Lavia and Casadei(who has already played under the manager),Santos and Vale  that's plenty, we don't need to go and buy a flop who scored 3 and had 3 assists just because he was at City.

    A striker is needed to help Jackson (remember, no matter how many chances he missed, he still scored MORE then Drogba in his first season, he won't be as good but he will get better)

    Why waste a ton of money, when Toney at 50-60 million is available and will do for 3 seasons, he says he wants us instead of Spurs

    But by your own reasoning Toney has only scored 4 goals last season and 2 of then were in the first 2 games after his ban. In fact i don't think he has scored in about his last 14 matches. Guirassy is available at less than half that price and scored 28 in 28 vs Toney's 4 in 17.

    Yep. Agreed. Toney for £50 million.  We need a striker --- But Toney is not worth that. He has one year left on his current contract. He is 28. He has spent most of his career with Peterborough and Brentford. Sure bring him into the squad as back-up for £20 million, other than that he is not the answer we are looking for.

    Dare i say it, but we need a sure fire bet!!

    Seems Álvaro Vallés may the GK of choice from our co-directors. 

    One of the best shot stoppers in La Liga last season and among the best 'sweeper keepers' in the world at the moment. 

    If it's true it just makes our recruitment team look useless. Why purchase 2 keepers last summer if this guy was the answer all along?

    Milos Kerkez [20] Left back at Bournemouth. Plays for Hungary [born in Serbia]. I haven’t really noticed anything about him to be honest. He looked okay. Apparently we are interested.

     

    Pretty sure all the papers need to do is pull up the football database, click order by age ascending then start from the top.

    Lots of talk of Sesko but also seems Arsenal are very interested.

    Don't care how good he is but I hope he goes to Arsenal because we need to sign a proper experienced centre forward coming into their prime.

    I hope the directors panic with the lack of options and just pay Gyokeres clause or someone similar.

    Are we trying to sign another CB?  Bayern Munich’s Dayot Upamecano to Chelsea?  As  we search for Thiago Silva’s replacement . . .Maybe this will mean another CB exiting our group?

     

    Yep, Chalobah

    Isn’t Gyokeres about the same level as Sesko? I mean he’s still pretty unproven, didn’t do much at Brighton, outstanding at Sporting but then it’s Portuguese league.

    If you want an established striker then we should be looking at the likes of Martinez, Toney, Isak etc.

    Well I'd take Toney as well but Isak and Martinez won't happen.

    There's a small pool of centre forwards out there and even though like you say Gyokeres is still unproven in a big league I would still take him over others due to the sheer amount of numbers he's reached and his dominance. He was the best player in the championship and now the Portuguese league, we spent nearly 110m on a player who played like 20 games for Benfica so what's the difference.

    Was disappointed when we didn't sign Upamecano and De Ligt originally but been unimpressed with the both of them since.  Both remind me of Harry Maguire.  Guessing it would be a massive fee too.
