Kessie.......



Durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
 
What is Cornet like at Burnley?
Like I said in earlier post may be their is some rich pickings to be made from the teams that go down or are near the bottom. Sarr, maximam, raphina, cornet, etc
 
I know that ITK posts are not popular on this site but anyway I'll be posting 2. And I am posting it mainly to get an opinion about Festy Ebosele by anyone who's been watching him a few times (no, not on youtube).
Rather peculiar that Ali Z doesn't bother checking how to spell Ebosele as I presume he's got internet and Derby wouldn't have more than 1 "fast and dynamic" RB.
Btw, if you search for "Festy Ebosele" on Youtube the first video that comes up has the headline:
"The next Adama Traore? Festy Ebosele - Derby County" :cool: 😁 🤔


I another ITK post, Tariq Lamptey, Dodô, Joakim Mæhle, Manuel Lazzari and Leeroy Owusu are mentioned...
Mæhleand and Lamptey are the only 2 I'd consider.
(Dodô is 166cm tall - which isn't really the build for an EPL defender...so he would not be on Conte's "wanted list"; and nor would Owusu)

Ali Z on SC:

Heard a whisper about a potential incoming RWB plays in the championship, young, fast and dynamic, is at Derby County but can't remember how to spell name lol.

He went on to confirm that it's Festy Ebosele



Odd one. I've seen Ebosele play live for ROI underage teams twice, maybe three times. Quick and looks a good player, but definitely not even close to being on my radar for a move of this magnitude. No issue if it's for u23 side. Playing well recently for Derby by most accounts.

Dodo is good. Watched two Shakhtar CL games this year and he's probably their best player.
 
Someone ran a algorithm to find wingbacks that are the most similar to Hakimi and came up with this.

(yes, that is our Emerson with the Barca badge).

Lots of good names here. Baku, Frimpong, Lirola, Atal etc. Another interesting name here is Ola Aina,

A London born Nigerian international. Aina came up at Chelsea and actually got his League Cup and Premier League debuts under Conte while Chelsea boss. So Aina would be classed as a homegrown.

He currently plays for Torino and spent the previous season on loan at Fulham. He has a contract until 2023 with Torino.

Actually, I don't doubt that Dodô is a very good player but my concern was in the EPL, with all those areal duels, he would literally come up short.
 
My first choice as RWB is Tino Livramento but I am not sure how that £40m buy-back clause would work if Spurs bought him. Anybody knows?
Is the clause then "transferred" to Spurs (most likely)? Can Tino refuse a return to Chelski?
After all, Chelski got Reece James and he'll remain their 1st choice RB for the next decade or so.



CHELSEA fans will be relieved to find out the club inserted a £40million buy back clause in Tino Livramento's Southampton contract.

Thomas Tuchel's side sold the right-back, 18, to the Saints for just £5m in August and he impressed against his former club on Saturday.

Presumably, the Chavs can buy him back at 40m at any time he is under his current contract with S'oton (I'm guessing the clause dies when the current deal expires, but there may be further devil in the contractual detail of the agreement).

e.g. Lets say we came in and offered 30(*) for him...... The Chavs could trigger that 40m clause (and Sain't would be obliged to accept), but if the Chavs chose not to then S'ton could push on and accept our offer and the clause would exist no more as it was a contract between the two clubs; not a stake in the player himself.

(*Just a working number; it wouldn't matter if we offered 50m.... The Chavs right remains the same.)
