Chavs defence will be far less established and settled than ours next season. He'll sign for us if he knows what's good for his career (and his soul)!
Exactly this..It's easy to say now when we finished the season off well and looks like we are making moves but look at the vocal leaders in our team, get rid of the wasters and the players we have some very "solid" players in our squad who all set an example
Forster, Perisic & Bremer if true are all warriors
Even Richarlison who I hope we get never gives up on the pitch
Getting them all in before preseason is the most exciting thing for me
We are actually going for it
I think he could do better than Fulham to be honest.. He’s not quite top 6 but would shine for a Leicester, Wolves type club.
We really need five for two positions?As long as we’ve done due diligence on the allegations, I obviously love the signing,
But we can’t be done with midfield. If we get Eriksen back I’ll be happy. McKennie or someone like that? Also happy.
But we still need at least one more in midfield,

I would be ok with that for now…: at some point we need to replace Kane and Son but that’s not urgent for this season.Ali Gold has said we may be interested in Ben Brereton Diaz, not the flashy amazing striker but HG and would fit our needs
Diaz would also allow you to buy a wide attacker if we can't get Richarlison and wouldn't need a sale to come into the squad. Would also be an easy loan/sale at the price quoted. Risk is that we think Parrott and Scarlets are going to be better than him in 12 months.I would be ok with that for now…: at some point we need to replace Kane and Son but that’s not urgent for this season.
Son is the best CF / 9 cover we can hope for really, so if we have quality that can play in his position (Eriksen/other) then maybe we don’t need another stellar striker to sit in the bench
If you're already wearing the shirt, why would you need to hold one up?
Is this not the same sort of level as Troy and Scarlett? Would rather one of ours had that backup spot if we’re going HG youthSurprised we have not been linked before.
One year left on contract so price say £13m, former E youth international now Chilean international. Only reason for sale is he was injured for 6 - 8 weeks when Blackburn had no great alternative goal scorer so missed out on promotion.
Can play as both centre forward and inside forward.

Ben Brereton Díaz Scout Report At Blackburn & Chile - Analysis
Ben Brereton Díaz tactical analysis looking at Ben Brereton Diaz style of play at Chile and Blackburn.totalfootballanalysis.com
Only real caveat is its only really last season he started scoring lots of goals/assists - 22 goals 3 assists (before then 20/21 7 goals and 5 assists which is ok )
Definitely a back up opportunity imo, especially as HG taking up a vacant HG squad place allowing an extra player in the squad.
In that case, I think we hold what we have for strikers - only c.3 months until WC / window opens. Eriksen and Richarlison replace Berg and LucasDiaz would also allow you to buy a wide attacker if we can't get Richarlison and wouldn't need a sale to come into the squad. Would also be an easy loan/sale at the price quoted. Risk is that we think Parrott and Scarlets are going to be better than him in 12 months.
This is why I would be quite happy to have bale back as a bit part. Serial winner, respectful and very good trainer. The young ones can learn a lot off him, and Eriksen. Not a bad ethos running through the squadExactly this..
For years we have had a team of nice happy go lucky players with little or no leaders.
We have winners and leaders all over the pitch now. I have been begging for a team like this for years.
How many big London Derby’s have we lost in the past, purely because we allowed the opposition to bully us? Well that ain’t going to happen any more. Just like the recent NLD these teams wil absolute fear us and bottle it just like the Goons did last month.
I have never been so excited for a new season..
If Diaz does well during that 1 season his price will double, or maybe even triple, after winning both the EPL & CLDiaz would also allow you to buy a wide attacker if we can't get Richarlison and wouldn't need a sale to come into the squad.

Wasn't there a time during the Mourinho era when both Kane and Son were injured so Lucas was our CF?I would be ok with that for now…: at some point we need to replace Kane and Son but that’s not urgent for this season.
Son is the best CF / 9 cover we can hope for really, so if we have quality that can play in his position (Eriksen/other) then maybe we don’t need another stellar striker to sit in the bench
It happened. At first it was Bergiwjn as CF but he got injured as well. Then the pandemic started and cut that bleak period short.Wasn't there a time during the Mourinho era when both Kane and Son were injured so Lucas was our CF?
Maybe it just happened in my head lol, but either way he's not good enough, so we do need another CF if we're looking at a top 3 finish,
