chelsea squad: 1 Mendy 2 Kepa (nobody will take him) 3 Rudigier 4 Silva 5 Christensen 6 Zouma 7 Azpilicueta 8 Emerson 9 jorginho 10 kante 11 pulisic 12 Kovacic 13 Ziyech 14 Havertz 15 Werner 16 17 Scrap pile: alonso, rahman, batshuayi, kenedy, bakayoko, zappacosta It seems to be cheslea are well able to take on two more foreign buys for 300mil or whatever. Haaland and lukaku is happening! their scrap pile could easily have 2 or 3 more chucked on it by the end. HG: 1. James 2. Chilwell 3. Bettinelli 4. mount 5. barkley (could be sold) 6. loftus cheek (could be sold) 7. abraham (likely to be sold) 8. hudson odoi Gilmour (on loan) ampadu likely to be loaned, drinkwater is stil lthere. clearly there is absolutely no budget concern at cheslea where those 10-12 players need to go to bring in yet more wages. IMO the only way to really control club is to put a hard registration limit in. That would be inclusive of loaned players. clubs are allow 17 players plus 8 HG. thats quite a lot. 25 players. You can have as many u21s as you want hg. Maybe they should set the limit of players registered at 27? Can't register a singe player more until one goes.
Manchester City on verge of agreeing deal with Aston Villa to sign Jack Grealish for £100m. If everything goes to plan 25yo will finalise personal terms, take medical & complete move. Most expensive signing in British history @TheAthleticUK #AVFC #MCFC
Liverpool are said to be in the picture for Bournemouth forward Arnaut Danjuma, This is to cover for MO Salah and Sadio Mane when they go to AFCON in January 2021.
nice, they can then move onto the next signing of kane. Guardiola proved a liar but he will claim they couldn't afford a striker, he said nothing about yet another attacking midfielder.
man city squad 1 ederson 2 steffen 3 cancelo 4 zinchenko 5 mendy 6 dias 7 laporte 8 gundogan 9 rodri 10 KDB 11 silva 12 fernandinho 13 Jesus 14 Torres 15 Mahrez 16 17 hg 1 Carson 2 walker 3 stones 4 ake 5 foden* 6 sterling 7 grealish 8 theres clearly scope for 2 more foreign players and kane. loads of room in that squad to add another 300mil in talent (and kane as well)
Not sure if I’m the only one that doesn’t get the Grealish hype. Every time I see him play he’s like w fancy wijnaldum. Holding onto the ball 5 seconds longer than he should when could have played an easy pass forward to get things moving. I’m sure pep will make him a better player but for 100m I want a wod star that’s going to take me to the next level. Don’t see Grealish as being any better than what city currently have
According to the Echo : Man City spending £100m on Jack Grealish can be good news for Liverpool transfer plans Man City are eyeing Jack Grealish, Manchester United have signed Raphael Varane and Ben White has moved to Arsenal - and it could be good news for Liverpool
No i think a lot of us are in the same boat. his main skill is falling over. I don't see where he is going to play the guy as he's not a winger and he already has several attacking midfielders. KDB and foden come to mind in a midfield. If he is stuck wide left then he is taking sterling's slot. My main thing is he is a luxury player who swans about with his socks down thinking he is hard but doesn't work back.
I presume they mean it now puts massive money into the prem to chase after players and starts the merry go round that sees minamino and shaqiri and origi as potential sales to free up a needed foreign player slot in our squad.
Anfield Wrap saying Wolves put in a bid for Divock of £10m, Liverpool want £20m, so likely they will settle somewhere in the middle.
If he plays tomorrow in friendlies is BS, if he doesn't he is off. Love a bit of intrigue round the friendlies.
We all know he's a bit ****, but he's solid enough with enough responsibility and of an age that I would have expected a bigger fee in the current market
