Perisic LWB
Bissouma CM
Forster GK
Richarlison LW/ST/RW
Lenglet LCB

Should still have good money left for a top CB and RWB, if we land those 2 targets then the squad will be looking very good. It would be interesting to see if anyone else would be on the radar. Positive so far, still more work to do.
 

Let's take a moment out to appreciate the brilliant timing of this Richarlison deal planned and carried out by Don Paratici ...
1) Everton had to complete a sale before the FFP deal-line day (30th June) in order to balance their books;
2) Richarlison is on vacation in Brasil and he could thus be flown into a remote, secret area of the Amazon, where there is no phone network, for his medical - taking no chances with Chelski this time.

Part of Richarlison medical consisted of the below-mentioned test:

 
Absolutely mate.

To the vast majority it's all about the quality of players bought in, regardless of money spent.......others just have to have a little moan.
Also being active in January and very active early this window is a big change . The Juve boys and Conte secured top 4 , we don’t get over the line without January incomings. We have all wanted signings for years to have a full pre season not last week buys , 3 games into the season
i am now getting what I wanted , would be churlish to now complain about selling Winks , Berg, Sanchez etc to offset incomings . I would complain if we had bought cheap crap, we most certainly haven’t , we have bought well and bought early , what’s not to like

Great post.
 
Gordon is HG attacking player - no problem with extra HG players, overseas trained MIGHT be tight depending upon who else we want in (eg CB )

Gordon for Bergwijn seems about right, step down in current performance but HG and probably more effective Prem physique. Would like us to get an equivocal CM to replace Winks (best HG U20).
 
To a club our size 5 million is. How much will we have to spend to get a rwb closer to the end of the window when levy fucks this. A lot more than 15 million

City backed out of Van Dijk and Maguire becasue of the price, Newcastle backed out of Hugo Ekitike because of the price, just because we have a bit of money doesn't mean you should just pay what the other club demands straight away, we're not mugs

Spence deal will get done, people just need to chill, all parties want the deal to get done so it's a matter of when not if, patience.
 


Ben Jacobs of CBS saying we're interested as well. Good player but don't really see it.. third choice LWB perhaps, with a view to on occasion using Perisic on the right or in the front three. Also better lwb options out there. He's a similar quality player to Emerson, a bit better in attack and a bit worse at passing in deep areas.
 
Old news of course, but from about 1 min onwards Son sitting in between Richarlison and Raphina in the Brasil dressing room, in the most recent international break. Coincidence.... or did he get a message from management to have a word lol:

Don't agree.

I've watched at least 1 minute of youtube footage and now consider myself to be an expert. He's better than Emerson.
 


It's funny how there is only one clip they ever use.

Its the Levy haters you have to look out for. I can see it now;

",B...B...But we were told that we'd spend £150m * ,. wah, wah,....He's buying cheap players, wah, wah. Why aren't we spending £150m plus sales wah wah"

* We weren't told that.

The only credit Levy deserves thus far is hiring someone who knows what they're doing and staying out of their way. This happened in 2013 as well let's not forget with Baldini. Only we sold Bale at the end of it to end up with a profit as usual.

Official richarlison announcement today do we reckon?

IMO, no chance before tomorrow evening. We're painfully slow at announcing these signings.
