Im hoping we put in a big bid for dybala 1 chouce who would you like to see us bid for?

13 Jun 2017 00:57:46
Personally I'd pay Juve anything they asked for Dybala but I don't think he's interested in either Chelsea or England.

13 Jun 2017 02:03:56
Same. I think he is as good as Hazard plus he's 4 years younger.

13 Jun 2017 04:40:34
Boy is overrated. He's good but definately not as good as Hazard. Imagine Hazard in that Mediocre Serie A, he will dominate and rip them apart. A question, how many time have you guys watched Dybala live?

13 Jun 2017 12:31:42
I can say I've watched him enough times to say, he would excel in any league. He's that good. I know it's saying a lot that he's as good as Hazard but personally I believe so. Free kicks, corners, penalties, technically he is world class, maybe he's not that quick off the ball but for a player his size, Dybala is very strong.

He would be player that if we signed this summer would put us up there with Barca, Munich and not far from Real.
Dybala Lukaku Hazard our very own MSN. A guy can dream.

Only that makes it DHL
At least you will get some distance with that and the contracts delivered.

Ousmanne Dembele of Dortmund.

I know window not even open but the players we are linked with has me worried. all I can see so far is with costa out and lukaku in we have weakened team. not linked with anyone who really excites me or linked with anyone who our rivals would be jealous or gutted about, long way to go yet though.

13 Jun 2017 06:40:09
why do people keep saying the window is not open? when it opened on the 9th of june.

12 Jun 2017 16:05:45
Does anyone have news about Baba Rehman. When he will be fit to play games.
If we do not sign any new left back will he be kept in squad as back up?

12 Jun 2017 17:26:25
I hope not.

Not likely club will go after Verratti. Has no interest in coming unfortunately. Ed002 has mentioned this before, hence interest was dropped before.

Absolute top quality player, the type we should be prioritising. Club don't seem comfortable competing for that bracket of player however anyway as an article I read recently pointed out.

Bakayoko looks like he will be the one we get with Batshuayi going the other way in some capacity.

Mbappe not happening, like Verratti, player has eyes for another club and, like Verratti, that bracket of player is out of our reach regards finances and the level of interest in the player.

Hope Lukaku can be done soon but inherently unlikely with Everton just being a pain in the arse to have to deal with and, again, the fee involved may make us look elsewhere.

Alex Sandro feels like Koulibaly last year, would be great but not going to happen unless we fork out a world record fee for a left back, not going to happen judging on recent history.

With Bonucci, feels like that ship sailed last year, if Juventus are ready to let him go, must be a reason why.

Van Dijk not happening due to him being stupid enough to sign a SIX year contract as recently as last season. Southampton, like Everton with Stones, well within their rights to command a stupid fee.

Moral of the story, don't sign long term contracts and then ask to leave the year after. Difficult to see who we turn to for centre half. Latest reports seem to suggest that the club will evaluate the situation after Christensen begins Pre Season. May be a late burner in to August if we do sign one.

Sad that Diego is as good as gone, loved him to pieces, despite him being bonkers at times. Great player. However seems as though he has wanted out ever since he came.

Have some slight worries of our creativity in midfield if Bakayoko goes through. Fabregas the only one really who offers any final third guile. Hence why a Tolisso or a Verratti WOULD be ideal but then again if my aunt had bollocks, she'd be my uncle.

Be interesting to see what or if anything happens, can not afford to sit back like the last two title wins.

Has to be a contender for most negative post of the year! We will make signings and Conte knows what he wants. Calm down, the window hasn't even officially opened yet.

11 Jun 2017 23:30:19
Bernardeschi looks like he could end up being a top top player just been watching a few videos albeit not always the best way to view a player but he would be an ideal replacement for hazard imo boys got some tricks and a shot that lampsy himself would be proud of which is something if i could fault the team in anyway is that lack of a player to have a pop from range only other one who does not seem to be afraid is chabolah.

would love to see this guy playing for chelsea.

him bonnuci, bakayako, sandro, lukaku roll on the the next season.

12 Jun 2017 07:03:07
Fully agreed, Lampsy. Bernardeschi's a stud in the making. I wouldn't use him to replace Hazard, but more to play him alongside him to take some pressure and defensive focus off of Hazard. Strong, fast, good dribbler, a great shot and some really good throughballs and crosses he's capable of. He's becoming one of my favorite players.
I don't think we'll get him in the end, there just aren't enough reports linking us to him. But he'd be a real coup. Bernardeschi, Bakayoko, Lukaku and Sandro would make for a summer that keeps us in the hunt for domestic and CL glory. We don't need quantity, we need quality.

All of the James rumors are getting old. If anything he'll end up and United, I just don't see where he would fit in our team. Cheers to a good transfer window, I'm sure we will get adequate reinforcements!

12 Jun 2017 11:15:16
Don't think he's good enough for us, massively over rated as a player!

12 Jun 2017 16:03:47
James Rodrigues is a good player.
He can play in front 3 on right side.
I personally think he will be upgrade on pedro/ willian.
He is really good in final third.
He did not have great season, as he was often kept on bench, so will be excited to prove his worth wherever he joins this summer.
11 goals and 8 assists in 1498 minutes of football is still a great achievement.
