I'd still prefer Bissouma & Eriksen for significantly less combined fee and wages.

I thought POTY and YPOTY has already been announced as De Bruyne and Foden?
I think everyone is getting well carried away trying to swap out literally half our squad with these in/out lists. That's a disaster waiting to happen.
Happy to keep most what you've listed in the squad and add in some top quality. At the end of the day, those players were good enough to be the 4th best team in the most competitive league on the planet. I'd say they're good enough for anyone's squad.

Wouldn't bother me much tbh. Bale has almost nothing left in the tank.
Bale‘s goals to minutes ratio for us was excellent. He would never be a starter but unlocking bus parking teams or chasing a game he could be useful. Doubt Conte wants him so it’s all a bit irrelevant
Current RWB discussion aside (which looks like it's a matter of the options being pretty slim).... Assuming we get a new starter at LCB & CM; once you factor in the 'trickle-down' to the bench, the only area it needs boosting is some form of reliable goal threat.

I think the list of incoming transfers isn't that big.
LWB - Perisic
RWB - Spece?
LCB - Bastoni?
We'll still have Sess, Doc, Davies still here should they fail to adapt quickly.
The only other MUST HAVE position is a CM like Bissouma.
We can keep Berg/Lucas as depth in attack. PEH, Skipp and Benta will also remain. So not really a huge change.
The outs are mostly the likes of Winks, Lo Ceslo, Rodon, who never get game time anyway.
Yes....he has moments of magic that can turn a game instantly.
I dont know why a forward isnt on peoples list be it a wing forward type or a centre forward. We got lucky with Kanes fitness last season but lest we forget thinking we might have to pick a 17 yr old Troy Parrott or being desperate in January for literally anyone. We've got champions league and a world cup, even if Kane stays fit we need someone else to rotate and they need to be better than Vinicius/Janssen or even Llorente.
I suspect it's essential business first..... If said ST2 arrives late for pre-season it's a minor inconvenience; whereas it'll be a big deal to get all the assumed starters signed early.
...Aside from freebies like Peresic & Forster; I don't expect much noise until after this batch of internationals is over. Even with Eriksen, his head will be elsewhere this next couple of weeks.
....On which subject; how emotional - on a personal & psychological level - is that return for Denmark gonna be for him????? .....WOW!
They were the fans ones.
The Players’ player of the year is the most prestigious.
Son prob nominated but KDB or Salah won I’d wager
Tbf we’ve been linked with Jonathan David, Sterling, Memphis, laurtaro Martinez, bale, Nunez etc
Despite the excess fan-thirst for binning players off; we'll simply trim the fat at our own convenience once the important incoming deals have been struck. That's the big difference of having that 150m in reserve... No "sell to buy" dynamic.

In the end, it's Antonio's call and I trust him a lot more than I do my myself. If he wants them, I'm happy....
It was. He played (and scored) v Netherlands I think. He played for Denmark before he played for Brentford.
That journo isn’t real
It’s a joke how easy it is to make an account, spout any old lie and have it actually get real traction on Twitter. The amount of deliberate misinformation on that app is unreal.
Fake news
Bale Back again really doesn’t make sense imo.
