Cucurella must surely be holding out for City. Chelsea seem all over the place with their transfer approach.
It seems scattergun, but they seem to be focusing on a position at a time.
Sarr has gone off the boil - something not right there with him last year at Watford. I think any chance he plays at a top tier club has gone - Villa, Leicester, Crystal Palace - that’s it for him.
Besides - he’s a forward - thought you wanted a midfielder.
Don’t go looking for Moron - you’ve been banging on about a new midfielder for weeks - if you list consists of Nunes (because he popped up on a Twitter feed), Laimer, Ward-Prowse l, Ramsey and Sarr, then you’re answering the question why we’re not signing another midfielder.
DamnWerner heading back to RBL, must be quieter in Germany.
I don't give a fuck who, as long as he is a good fit to come into the team straight away without needing that whole time to bed in. I can help people like you that think we have a load of fit midfielders who don't suddenly break down, cos they always do and we are one injury away ALWAYS to having a very average midfield.
Also, if you are saying we cannot find any player around established leagues at the right price who would fit into our team then either we are doing something fucked up or our recruitment is limited in scope despite having all those atomic physicist doing the data bollox. It's a fucking joke actually, considering in football there are more players that play in midfield than any other position.
If we truly were in the market for warm bodies in midfield, then we would have signed Wijnaldum on loan. It would have been the most logical signing.
We didn't, which suggests that Klopp is happy using Curtis and Bajcetic there, along with Fabio and Elliot.
There is no personal craving - I would rather we didn't spend money. What I feel is very simple:That’s exactly what I’m saying - out of all the midfielders in the world, there are very few that would walk into our team, integrate perfectly, be better than what we have, be available at a reasonable fee and make financial sense.
That’s what happens when you’re one of the best teams in the world.
We are not “one injury away from having an average midfield” - stop being a hysterical fanny.
If they’re not as good or better than Fabinho or Thiago they aren’t getting into the team - so they need to be happy sitting on their arses on the bench. They need to be better than Harvey, Jones, Carvalho and others have the potential to be - or why would we not give them the chance, should it arise, to step up.
Also, Hendo is captain, so he’s likely to play more often than not and Milner is happy with a utility role at his age.
I’m all for replacing Keita - but I think that’s the point of Bellingham.
Otherwise all you’re suggesting is pointless signings to fulfil some personal craving.
I’ll say it again - don’t discount the importance of the likes of Ox & Minamino who don’t kick up a fuss and create disharmony when they’re not playing - look at the toxic culture at Man Utd.
That Schmeichel move seems very odd. Not really an earner for a Leicester in financial trouble.
Would not surprise me if there was a falling out behind it.
