I wouldn't put anything past him.

Some reports Spurs are interested.

Match made in heaven.

If we're going for Estavao and Quenda RW, Palmer CAM, Rogers, Gittens LW. There's no real space for him.

Also that we want Romero in return

God is good

Clearly no room for him anymore. Romero in return would be a very good piece of business.

Let's say Lacroix is nailed on to sign. I still think we'd be short in defence if Alonso is to play three at the back. James at the RCB role can't be trusted because of his injury record and Acheampong and Hato are way too young. Romero is decent enough and has a lot of fight in him. We need some of that in our team.

Romero missed 57 games over the last 2 seasons through injury

Plus went out injured against Spain in the final... His body is most likely done at PL level

He's perfect for us then! 😍

I would assume he missed about the same number through suspension as well.

Is there an age limit to playing in defence? Cubarsi was one of the best players at the WC at 19yrs, oh and Yamal was Spain’s talisman at 19.

In a 1-game-a-week season, we can expect Colwill and Lacroix to play 90-95% of the league matches. If we want to play a back 3, James is likely to occupy the RCB position. His fitness will be questionable, but that is where Acheampong can step in and prove himself.

I think we'd all like another CB, but there would have to be several outgoings, like Fofana/Tosin.

Not really, but Cubarsi was surrounded with experienced players all around him.

I know, maybe things can change with only one match per week. Don't think his injury record is the problem rather, rather his salary. Don't think he will accept the wages we currently pay

Don’t really care about Neto, I’ll be happy to see him sold. Crap player.

I don’t want Romero. His injury record aside, he loses his head a lot in big games. We don’t need the headache.

I can't stand Romero, proper w**ker. If we have to sign one of their players whilst selling Neto, then I would rather not bother.

Please, please, please make this possible... If Liverpool want him to replace Salah, there are going to be some seriously unhappy scousers next season. Cant wait to hear both City and liverpool fans crying for their mommys.

Both Neto and Garnacho should be decent transition players.

I think both will do much better at Liverpool and Villa if the moves come off. It’s a very low bar though.

Neto had two decent spellls in his time at Chelsea but has just got worse and worse this season. He was poor with Portugal at the WC too.

Garnacho will eclipse his entire Chelsea career if he doesn’t fall over the ball on his Villa debut.

It’s crazy that we will get £100 million or thereabouts for them.

Its even more crazy that we spent £100m on them in the first place.

A normal club would have sacked their SD if he spent consecutive summers signing the wrong player for a single role. It isn’t just Garnacho and Neto, Gittens is just delayed till next summer. Most fans would have told you they were all the wrong wingers to go after. Jury is out on Morgan Rogers IMO.

Why? He's proven in this league and in the Champions League?
