I would have change our whole defensive line and our midfilders. We still don't have a solid CM and we are missing such player for long time. We also don't have quality winger who is very fast and can dribble great past defenders and open enemy defense. Raphinha would have been great. We need that kind of magic player.
People keep repeating Conte's Chelsea, but they had a world class Hazard and more balanced team.
Whole defensive line - incl Romero?
and midfielders - incl Bentancur?
Don’t have a fast winger who can dribble past defenders - Perisic
World class Hazard - World class Kane

I really don’t know what drugs you’ve been smoking.
 
Sarr always looked like a punt to me.
Transfer dealings are as much about making money here and there as they are about building squads.
totally but what signal does it send to prospects in the future, wine and dined then flogged?

I'm all for shrewd business but this sort of thing could hurt us. I would prefer to see him used if possible, if he really has talent he should make some sort of impact.
 
one bad preseason game and ppl have shit the bed. How many times has it been proved to have zero correlation to the season ahead? We've bossed it in seasons gone, and then faltered in the league.

From where i'm sitting our squad is much improved, both first team and subsequent bench, and we start with a full proper Conte pre season under our belt and a steady ship.

I can see Liverpool being the ones to chase but lets not forget the TW isn't shut now and it's likely there would be more ins and outs yet
 
Exactly. All of them are bang average, no matter what some fanboys on here are saying. Neither is good enough for top team.
Also we started well on the market, but we are far far from 8, 9 or 10 window.
Currently we are at 6 out of 10 in my opinion.

Joke post.

Since Man City away we played 16 PL matches and conceded - 11 gls. 3 in one match when Ronaldo had one of those matches.

8 clean sheets.

But yeah, let's get rid of the whole defence and buy a whole lot of players who've never played together before.

Genius.

: ostrich:

What the fuck are you on about.

1) "Bang average" yet after the trio Davies-Dier-Romero was formed (and even if Davinson took over Romero place) our defense was absolute top level. Even in the games where we lost points, it was due to our attacking ability. When you know... when we went two games without single shot on target.

In last 11 games we NEVER let opposition team score more than 1 goal.
We conceded 5 goals, over the run of whole season this would translate to 17,3 goals (!!)

2) Don't have solid CM - we fucking brought Bissouma who could have been best CM player outside top 6 teams last year. Skippy is back from injury, Benta and PEH were under massive workload and still helped us to make it to CL.

3) "don't have quality winger who is very fast and can dribble great past defenders and open enemy defense" - sorry but are you fucking retarded?!?! Son is fast as fuck and even if he is not much of a dribbler, he won something called golden boot last season. And he can work next to absolute world class striker of Kane + very composed Kulusevski (and now added attacking and dribbling option of Rich).


Get some kind of perspective for fuck sake... this is some embarrasing melting.
 
Agreed, i was talking about a player who can move the ball quickly, pick a pass between the lines and pull defenders out of position.

You look at some of our games last season and against Seville and Roma (i get it is pre-season) but up until Richarlison game on yesterday we didn't really move the ball at pace, between the lines or passed with intent.

We can't rely on hitting teams on the break, they get wise to it and whether we like it or not defend deep which is nothing new against top sides processing pace.

I think of the options Zanlolo will be more likely than Maddison, because of availability and cost, and it sounds from that i have read that Conte likes him?

Sarr always looked like a punt to me.

He's going to be a star and Milan know it. Not sure how we got him. But 30m shows that was a smart bit of business. We won't sell.
 
No it doesn't. We have CL. Newcastle don't.

What does that mean?
Newcastle have more money. They can offer enough to make Leicester say yes. We probably can't match it.
Even then, if they said yes to both, maybe Maddison would rather play Champions League with us, or maybe he would want to earn £350k a week at them because......they have more money than us.

They Might have money but they don’t generate the level of income that will allow them to spend large amounts of money this is a FFP restrictions you can only spend what you make that’s why they are not blowing their load.

Have you not noticed this has never stopped Chelsea, City, PSG, RBL, and now even Barcelona?
Apparently finding £200m under the sofa is enough for FFP to be complied with.

Comparing Hazard and Kane just show that you knows nothing in terms of football. They are nothing alike position wise, and in terms of skills and role wise.
Next time read better and don't embarass yourself.
I didn't mention Romero, so obviously i won't change him. Bentancour is good, but not great, and neither provide the needed goals or creativity in the MF.
Perisis is 33, was looking fast in Serie A, lets first see how he will be in the PL.
I like Spence, but lets see how he will handle the PL and being in big club.

Putting you on ignore, no chance of getting anything sensible out of you.

Bye!!
 
It's no secret that we have been admirers of Adama Traore for some time; and it appeared Conte was happy with the player to come in back in Jan.

This could be the bargain we snap up on deadline day; and could be a perfect alternative to Kulu on the right.

zero end product in terms of assists or goals (compare to Kulsevski 5 goals and 8 assists in last half season ie 25 or so goal involvements a season), so a hard no from me

Truly embarrassing take.

A post so utterly embarrassing that I'm surprised you have the balls to ever post on here again!

When a manager as well known as Conte for walking when Club ignores his wishes, comes out saying he's happy ..... you know the transfer window has gone reasonably well .... despite the trolls comments in this thread.
 
What the fuck are you on about.

Yeah Davies-Dier are bang average. This has been proven in recent times. Just because Conte stabilizes things a bit, doesn't mean they are great. They have made tons of individual mistake, that just because enemy team doesn't score on any single occasion where they were making errors, that doesn't make them great, and stats doesn't tell you a thing. This is football, not tennis, where it's all individual performance.
They are also bad on the ball and can't pass fast and accurate to safe their life.

If they were so great we wouldn't be on the market for new ones.
Lenglet as i said i will comment when he make at least 5+ matches for us.

Also there is a plenty of previous season and matches where i form this opinion. Just because someone form has gone up for a bit, doesn't mean it will stay up for the next season or that he suddenly become top players from being bang average before that.
What was our performance before that Conte come? Yeah they are bang average.

Romero is great i haven't talk about him.

2. Yeah right here you are showing how much you know about football. Bissouma is DM, he has nothing to do with the players we need, aka creative midfielder. This ain't fifa bud.

3. Nice try to twist my word. Now go back and read what i stated, think again(if you can), and you will understand what i mean.

And yeah we are lacking that type of magician player, as Son is nothing alike that. But your lack of knowledge is showing once again.


If we were so great, as some people on here trying to make us, we wouldn't have struggle to get top 4, and even with Conte we barely, barely got it, thanks to Woolwich managed to do a huge screw job, losing 3-4 games in a row, against bang average teams.


And yeah our defense was not top notch, not even close one. United banged us 6 goals in 2 matches, we lost to ***** Ns Mura 2-1.
And we were knocked out of Fa Cup and EFL Cup.

Yeah Conte did magic with what he had, but that squad just wasn't good enough and as i said we started great on the market, but there is still a lot to be done, in order to say this is a great window or 8+ one.
