Oh yea £30m is nothing to scoff at. But when people said expensive I was thinking more along the lines of £40m
I’m not as enamoured as some seem to be with him. I think he’s benefitting greatly from not being Moura, which is understandable, 4 years of human pin ball will do that to you.
He’s definitely more composed than Moura, which is a plus, and he’s got some physical heft when it comes to protecting the ball, but Kilusevski only seems to have amble as a speed setting, and doesn’t seem to have the pace or technique to actually dribble past people or, at least, stay past them.
He’s brought something different, but I’m yet to be blown away.

Man city want him too, so I guess we look at the next one on the list
Nah she’ll be right, we’re going to be ambitious this window.
Might even get a surprise Mbappe announcement
Depending who we count.
If we include CCV who has almost never played for us and comes from loan, then it might be even more.
I could realistically see Gollini, Royal, Rodon, CCV, Regulion, Sanchez, Winks, Ndombele, Lo Celso, Moura, Bergwijn, Clarke go.
Most likely not all 12. But given Gollini, Ndombele, Lo Celso, CCV, Rodon, Winks, Clarke and Bergwijn positions - they almost feel guaranteed to go. That is already 8 players. From remining I think we see few departures as well, so could as well match the last season figure.
p.s - in winter we moved on Alli as well - so across season this is 11 players out
If that ain't rebuild, I don't know what is!
And gosh we needed it.
Amen.
Enough of Dier bashing now.
If someone needs memory refreshed, just look at Liverpool-Arsescum-Burnley games from replay.
I am not saying that he will forever remain that solid, but once more - since ManU game where Ronaldo was given freedom, there is next to nothing to complain about our defense. Based on their performances we would have 3rd place guaranteed by now...
Even in this unfortunate Brighton game, it was Romero who was most at fault for the goal. So yea - Dier really has earned some praise and respect. Despite personal biases.
I am a Galatasaray fan in Turkey and I think Marcao would be a very good transfer for LCB. He was one of the best defenders in the Europa League this season. He is an excellent playmaker stoper.
Will Bryan Gil be staying? Doesn’t strike me as a Conte player
Loan him out again; Chav-style..... He's young enough to out-stay Conte.
Ditto Sarr if Toni isn't too impressed.
Ditto Tanganga.
That’s how IT SHOULD BE. Let’s pray this is true. Conte deserves all he wants, he’s proven that he’s an elite manager and will take us higher than all of our Premier League managers have ever taken us.
We have the 4th best defence in the PL, in terms of goals conceded.
Every player can be upgraded but to call 2 of our 3 main CBs dog shit just shows how little some people know about the game.
Bastoni would be class, but I'm not convinced that Gvardiol would be value for money.
Firstly he's reportedly going to be more expensive than Bastoni according to The Athletic; secondly he had a torrid time in the semi vs Rangers as Leipzig got knocked out.

3 goals and 8 assists in his first half season (not even). That’s remarkably productive output for someone new to PL.
Smith Rowe has 12 goals and 3 assists in almost twice as many minutes this season. They’re the same age.
He’s not an electric player but the early signs are extremely positive.
I can see your point.
And to my eyes he did struggle with pace in Liverpool game - with first steps Pool defenders and midfielders got too close to him and he could not proceed. So he has some limitations.
At the same time I feel you are not doing justice to his output. I agree with your assessment of "human pin ball" regarding Moura - no one knows to which direction will the ball bounce off from his feet. But Deki has done more than this comparison suggests. To be better than pin-ball reference, it would have been enough to help us retain the possession and maybe play some cleaver passes. But in reality Deki has been laying out assists in nice frequency. He has set up 8 goals within 1200 minutes on the field. While Moura has managed 15 across 7733 minutes. One has assist for 150 minutes on field, other 515 minutes. At that - Deki had to get used to new league, while Moura has been here for years. When he first joined, he was trusted to only play 208 minutes of football and he provided 1 assist (no goals) in his debut season.
So yea- from one hand - comparison with Moura will put Deki in good light. On the other hand, his actual output is totally from different dimention as well. So he is not just slight upgrade. It is closer to switch from playing 10 against 11 and having 11th player added to team..
Bastoni all day long. Pay the money get the best.
Yes it should
