And they hype Martinelli as much as Saka who plays on the other side. I mean Raphina can play LW but it’s certainly not his strong suit.
Dream realistic signings
Bremer
Ndicka
Spence
Richarlison
That would be amazing business with the players we already have. And only a total spend of 155m ish. If we can sell some players we have cash to spunk in January too.

We need top quality CM Modric type, or we are going to be in trouble against tight team. We are also lacking a magician type of player. Raphina could be that guy, so losing him to Woolwich is going to be bad.
People should also stop dreaming. Obviously for complete players the sums are going to be high. Nothing wrong in 80m for 20 years old super talent.
The price are super higher compare to before, and even small clubs wanta big money for their top talent. Every single transfer is a risk.
Torres back in the day was world top striker, and proven in PL and he was total garbage in Chelsea.
Langlet or whatever his name is, is complete s...... If we end up with that guy, then shame on us.
Also does people read what Conte was saying ? He pretty much stated that he ain't happy with the depth of the team. He also stated that there are going to be 5 subs, pretty much hinting that we need larger squad, and to have his options.
On top of that he literally said that he is not happy with just competing for top 4, and wants to challenge for title.
Good luck doing that with only transfers in the region of 25-35m.
You may sign good players for that money, but also in that region you going to have a lot of misses.
Also most of the time you won't get complete players for that money.
For a plain example of that, is for let's said for 40m. you may get a good defender, that is good at tackling and positioning, but not that good in air, and terrible with the ball on foot.
Anyway i prefer to spend big on a very young player, like in the region of 20-23 years, compare to do that on 25-28 years old one.

I doubt it
Agree, I don’t see why we are not going in for raphina. Just the sort of player to light up any gane especially. bus parkers. He would much needed starting 11 quality tithe squad. Also remember kulu is still young and there were games last season where he was ineffective and was then dropped/ rested next game. He may also a dip in form this season so no reason why we shouldn’t have gone for raphina. Goons are adding good PL quality to their forward line.
Jesus +18.05?! Ha ha ha! Woolwich scouting at its best.
Mate they can all be wrong, when I was younger I was the best player on the planet....
They just didn't see it.
dream or realistic?
that's a dream: de ligt / hakimi / lautaro martinez
Exactly, on top of that, there is always a chance someone even our best slips their form. Also competition in the team is always good and push you further and will improve the squad.
Look at Jesus for example. He was on a rotational principle in City, and still was happy and spend 6 years at them, and he helped them big time with his important goals.
More options also mean we will be more flexible in terms of tactics. We need options so we can surprise our opponents, and also play 3-4-3 and 3-5-2 when is necessary. And there is matches where just 2 midfielders are never going to be enough.
Kulu is great and i like him a lot, and he is very young and will become better and better, but he still lacking speed, and in some games we will definitely be better with a fast winger on that side.
There's always gonna be drama with Conte.
You just have to accept and embrace it.
Club have the option to extend by a year so essentially 2 seasons left on his deal at this moment
I am not too into the stats. Sometimes the penny just drops with players though. Is that what happened with Richarlson in that last month of the season when he grew into being the main man or is that the only way to get him to perform at his top level? If he comes and isn’t that main person then will that cause him to drop off his level again. It’s a hard could revel at a bigger club and playing at a higher level. That’s the question I hope paratici and Conte are asking each other. If they haven’t we don’t want to end up with a £50m half arsed rotation option when instead we need someone who is completely on it.
Is Conte getting the signings he asked for last season? He may walk away if he doesn't before start of new season.
Saw a headline from the Spanish end saying that Woolwich have pulled out of signing Raph but Barca still don't have the finances to do the deal. So who knows where the truth is.
He has rejected us before, we are linked with a Turk almost every transfer window but never sign one, plus he loves Milan so much that he moved from AC to Inter just so that he could remain in the city. Next !
