Ronaldo is basically now Robbie Fowler, a poacher. Problem is he still thinks he is number one boss man, so the team plays through him, he has to play all games and can’t be used at useful moments.

I would take Ronaldo here if he had no ego and accepted being a backup to Kane but he can’t his mind is that he is the club and the club are there for him. Fine when he is the worlds second best player after Messi and banging 40+ goals and creating mayhem, not so fine when he is only useful as a poacher.

He did well against us but the hat trick was probably his best game last season.

His overall record was pretty damn good, considering their total lack of structure or creativity. And I don't think you can put that down to him because whenever I watched them without him they looked fucking dreadful.

I do think his negative impact has been overblown. I agree his need to be the star may be an issue, but you're still not finding any striker who will make better runs, is more dangerous in the air or more clinical in front of goal. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Ten Haag found a good use for him.

We get Bremer and Richarlison I am not to going to be too annoyed Woolwich getting Raphinha or City getting Philips.

We can’t sign everyone but Bremer and Richarlison on top of Bissouma and Perisic is some serious business.

Im half with you there, Bremer is beast hands down 💪 , although I just dont want Scum to get Raphina whilst im not bothered if we sign him per se, unlike Gabriel hesus which i really couldnt give a toss plus its funny City are ripping them off too lol, I really dont want Raphina go there, he actually add quality to them and potentially could really push on.

With Bergs going 10000% (hallelujah) and us potentially cashing in on Moura circa 10M due to last yr of contract, that could be be 35M we could put towards another attacking WF, regardless if Moura stays we still need another WF , although i know Ivan can fill in which is good now and again but ideally we need a pace merchant.

Put it this way which would you rather have. I know I would be A.

A Ivan Perisic, Bissouma, Richarlison, Bremer

B Jesus, Raphinha, Tielemans, Viera

And yeh if we could also get Raphinha that would be great.

I’ll be honest I would have thrown my toys out of the pram if Woolwich got Bissouma that’s how much I rate him.

We can downplay this as much as we want, but he's still going to score 20 goals for them.

He has 0.38 goals per 90. He’ll start a lot more games for Woolwich but be in a lower scoring team. I’d expect him to maintain that with more regular game time.

45 full games means 17 goals. I’m gonna predict 15-18 goals. He will be a great signing for them.

Agree, however i just dont want him to go there, he can go elsewhere to barca etc etc just not there to woolwich wankers

100% agree on Bissouma , they actually need players like him, a position they 1000% had to address but now are sticking with "No Party Hard" on the injury bench constantly and they renewed El Ninny LOL!!!!!

A top team has 2 good players per position that the manager trusts.

GK - Lloris, Forster - check

CB’s - Romero, Davies, Dier, Sanchez, Tanganga, Rodon - need 2 CB’s

Wings backs - Perisic, Sessegnon, Regulion, Royal, Doherty - need 1 WB (assume Spence)

Midfield - Skipp, Bissouma, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Winks, Sarr - need maybe one more if Winks is off and Sarr is loaned.

Attack - Kane, Son, Kulusevski, Lucas, Berg - need 2 more assuming Lucas and Berg aren’t trusted.

That’s about 6 players more needed for Conte to have a squad that would be considered a top team IMO. Spence is coming, we have been linked with getting a striker and 2 CB’s so not far off.

There's a limit of 23 or 24 players in the squad - so if we play 344, we only have room for 4CM's for 2 CM positions, move to 352 and its 4 forwards for 2 positions but 6 CM's for 3 positions. With your numbers we'd go over the total squad numbers

So think you've double counted the CM's and forwards - if we assume 344, we need zero more CM's, so a total of 4 more (ie 7 in total would be great) with Conte's saying he'd like 6 in at start of season.

If we play 344, we should almost certainly win the league, so I wouldn’t worry too much.
 
Maybe the plan was always to sign two CBs.

Some are assuming Lenglet is THE LCB option but maybe he was always the second utility target so:

- Bastoni/Pau Torres/Bremer - LCB
- Lenglet - LCB/CCB

It would make sense to bring in two CB's given doubts and general level of Rodon/Sanchez/Tanganga and no cover for Davies.

Lenglet will effectively be free (loan with option), is a good ball-playing CB and can play in the centre or the left. If he's shit then he won't play much and we won't activate the option.

Then on top of this we target the main man. It seems we hoped that would be Bastoni but we have had to move on from that so who knows. I think any of Bremer/Torres/Ndicka are probably upgrades on Sanchez/Rodon.

While I am pretty confident Lenglet wouldn't be our only CB signing I'm willing to give him a chance. After what Conte did with Davies in a back 3 I can't believe people would be so quick to write him off.

Ffs they haven’t even paid more than we paid for tanguy with these two purchases. We can afford players of this value. We obvs we’re not iinterested in Philips. Not sure why. He can fill in at the back. Plus HG! For that price we should be sniffing.

I like Phillips a lot but we have 4 midfielders now in Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Bissouma & Skipp who provide the physical work in midfield. Phillips has got a nice passing range to go with it, but really not a player we're in need of. Bissouma is much more what we required.

Plus, once City are involved, we don't stand a chance. Simple.

Very similar to Pau Torres in that he has great ability with the ball, and is a bit waif-like in some of his defending. Had some howlers in recent years. Personally think a change of scenery would do him good, and a change to back three simplifies defensive responsibility as it has done for the likes of Dier, Davies, Rudiger in recent years.

I'd be happy enough with him if the nature of the move implied significant spending elsewhere. Lots of players I'd be happier with though. Some of his passing can be really excellent to be fair.

Bissouma really is a game changer for us and I don't think enough people realise. But they will soon enough.

It would be incredible if we could somehow pull off Richarlison + Raphina and not completely unrealistic given Berg is gone and Lucas is going into his last year.

Really? I thought Dele went on a free with the only payments being potentials linked to appearances etc, none of which have been met. (I only gleaned that from this forum though, so might be incorrect).

You are correct. 20 games we get 10m. Might get 40m eventually but that would prob mean Everton getting in champ league. We’ve done well if we get 20m.
Must damage your confidence a bit when your club basically have to give you away as no one wants to put some actual money down. Would like him to do well but wouldn’t Put money on it.
