I'm saying he's cheap so Levy is happy to pay for him. He's not going to pay 30 million for Aarons and I wouldn't want him to.

I think it makes perfect sense at this specific moment in time.
We're not in the CL, where the big money is.
Covid has fucked the finances of all teams and we don't know how long that's going to last.
Get in a proven PL player with experience, to help us get back to the CL. Then in 2 years or so, replace him when the finances are better.
In an ideal world we'd buy a young one as well (Aaron) so we have a ready made replacement. Can't see that happening though.
Two of those should not be starting. Especially when looking who;s on the bench.
Winning attitude.
Winks shouldn't be in that line up for a start. Only good for subs bench imo.
Reports that seven(!) players at Chelsea has tested positive. Why the fuck are these players even allowed to go on holiday abroad??
Sorry, perhaps I could have been clearer.... Not 'what do you dislike about the squad', but 'What is your definition of a rebuild'? ...Be that us or any other club.
..... And what's the talk of "smoke and mirrors" all about?
With no trophys attached to quantify it, that's a rather mystical concept i reckon .
Its madness when you think the season is just over a week away!
Winks and Moura?
Spot on.
Smoke and mirrors means that we are hardly strengthening the squad that much. Rebuild= get rid of players who aren't good enough bring in better players. In our case we need players who are good enough to challenge for top 4 and trophies.
What exactly do you mean by big rebuild then ? selling half the team and buying 6-7 new players ?
The current transfers is exactly how the squad can be incrementally improved slowly. Unless you want to go the Leeds way and splurge cash on "stars" and end up where they ended up
Definitely agree but I think that this will be our starting line up next year. Only hope I have is perhaps son moving over to the right for moura with bergwijn on the left.
This would allow son to have less emphasis on staying wide and drift more centrally where he is so dangerous.
As far as Ndombele for Winks goes I think that’s just a matter of hoping he can play his way in to the team through Europa league performances if he is here. After today’s news it’s not looking good.
I was looking at it from a Mourinho aspect. He spoke about how well Winks and Hojbjerg looked together, and we know he isn't Ndombele's biggest fan.
As for Moura, he's a work horse and a Mourinho favourite.
Something like that.
Not Leeds again!
We can spend wisely and still do a rebuild,
FIFA mates?
Man United's Paul Pogba positive for COVID-19, removed from France squad
Paul Pogba has been replaced by Eduardo Camavinga in Didier Deschamps' squad to face Sweden on Sept. 5 and Croatia on Sept. 8.www.espn.com
Pogba has too
So the average team "rebuilds" every summer & January do they?
Sorry mate, as terminology goes, it's not typically taken to mean something merely reflective of general window-to-window trf activity.... The term "re-build" usually reflects a significant overhaul of a squad that is deemed to be nearing the end of a cycle; often taking multiple windows to achieve....
We've had 9 new players (and counting) through the door in approx 12 months the bulk of which are younger than those on the way out.... We ARE in the midst of a rebuild. That is exactly what's going on..... If you want to see 15 players in and out in just over a year you're being entirely unrealistic (perhaps if money is no object, but let's park that fantasy for the benefit of sensible discussion).
Your use of the term "smoke and mirrors" is entirely inappropriate too..... Are you suggesting that the players being brought in (especially the likes of GLC, Ndombele, Sess, Bergwijn & Doherty) weren't/aren't intended/expected to improve us? ....That (eg) 60m for Ndombele was just an elaborate ruse?
Yep. Even though they were outclassed on the night his goal against Munich was right from the top draw.
Saying that I cant see us buying him but you never know. I could see him at city actually as an option along with augero. They need another striker.
So not N'Doherty then.
