Gouffran, Marveaux, Obertan, Haidara, Mbiwa, Riveiere, Pancrate, Amalfitano, Cabella, Thauvin

 

Tens of millions wasted on French shite trying to replicate the Cabaye deal 

Expand  

Not even the good Amalfitano, his chin dribbling brother instead

I’ve not been that impressed with Simons when I’ve seen him play.

You haven't seen much of him then - he was a dab hand with a nail gun in The Wire.

Emile Smith Rowe looks like he is off.

 

id take a punt on him and let Eddie work his magic. He can cover lots of positions as well.

He will cost what £40m?  Would rather we spent money elsewhere

[Holden McGroin 7552]

Reports are saying he can go for £25m.

Would he cost that much? Might be worth a look is what I was thinking until I considered that we have good depth in midfield with Bruno, Tonali, Joelinton, Willock, Longstaff and Miley. Agree that it's more important to spend that money elsewhere.

He can play on the wings and can also play number 10 (which we lack if Eddie needs to change it) as well as 8.

I'd be a bit worried that he's one of those that played his best football as a youngster. But I'm sure we'll do our homework. 

 

I see Madueke and Bowen are being looked at apparently. Would be a shame to help Chelsea out with PSR, but I wouldn't be surprised if they still need to move lads like him on. He looks a decent player.

both of those would be good additions to the sqaud. bowen is going to cost £60m+, you'd think. better value probably found elsewhere 

[Andrew 5136]

For the price touted I'd prefer us to be in for Chiesa.

Madueke would be a good signing. There have been times he’s looked like the only one in that Chelsea squad willing to put graft in, plus he’s young with a high ceiling. I don’t care about PSR if it gets us a quality player in, personally.

[Kid Dynamite 7619]

All quiet on the Western Front. 
 

I know it's a good thing we are keeping our cards close to our chest with transfers, but I do miss the days of us being linked with 5 new players every day 

[wykikitoon 22758]

I'm sure things will kick off shortly.

Khephren Thuram, who was being touted to us and Liverpool last summer/January for around 60 million has gone to Juve for just 20 million euros.

[toonotl 3415]

ManU have sold the rapist they refused to fire for 30m. Classy.

It seems other clubs lower their price when a PL club isn’t involved.

Of course they do, there's a Premier League tax for all top flight English clubs, as there is a rich club tax for a few of us, and a Newcastle tax because we're; rich, a Premier League club, a new threat to the established teams

[Kid Dynamite 7619]

A link, at last! Although we might struggle to compete with Juve unless we can wave a big wad of cash at him
