if he was told about a deal then he would know what it was?

He's also massively underrated imo.

10 goal contributions - excellent going that - think that came from 22 apps and 14 starts

Suffice to say I would be very much up for us recruiting an exciting Argentinian winger called Gonzalez to the squad.

Seems similar to Kily Gonzalez in style albeit I think Kily played on the left which was the norm back in the day

I think Chalobah would be an incredibly smart move from the club if we can get him for a good price. Underrated player.

Agree - very useful cover - a high caliber CB signing is still a must though

Chalobah left out of Chelsea US squad. Got to be a mover there if available for knock off price?

As a RB/CB cover option I’d defo take him, would be a smart move - this on the basis that we sign someone like Thiaw as our main CB

Also needs to be reassured he’d be replaced same window of departure. If that’s not going to be the case you can see why EH would fight to keep him as it risks EH’s job not PM’s.

I agree on the reassurance side to a point - I mean they will all sit down and assess the squad top to bottom - where they see it in Aug - Jan - summer 25, but my view is Eddie has to accept players coming and going, it’s how projects work - in the hierarchy Mitchell is above him, Mitchell isn’t the 2nd coming of Dennis Wise and I am wholly confident the two will gel - EH just has to accept that modern football especially in the prem - I for one am thrilled with all these appointments as I see it only helping Eddie

I'd love to find out who Eddie would like to move on, other than the players who have been ostracised. 

 

This isn't meant to be negative towards Eddie, but he seems to be against selling anyone if you believe his interviews (Notably Wilson and Miggy). 

 

 

 

 

I don’t know if I can trust anything Eddie says - if Wilson accepts he’s 3rd choice there may be an argument to keep him but then on the flip side there’s a possibility to cash in on him 

In any case I think Mitchell should have the power to intervene - that’s the job of a sporting director and that’s how the structure operates elsewhere - the coach is hired based on a clubs philosophy - if results don’t follow, he’s replaced - For me Howe is an excellent coach, include him in conversations in terms of recruits but he also has to recognise when a players time is up

Is there anything more boring than the Rabiot saga?

Going to guess he’ll end up at Marseilles or Roma (based on absolutely nothing)

He mentions psr and 2 lots of losses of 70m which is 140m so 35m over I guess the 3rd year was a smaller loss as we ended up selling 2 players rather than 1? 

Hopefully someone on here can help explain - I have no idea with PSR

Hope our tracking of Nico levels up to stalking

I don’t know what state Barcelona are in but this guy is tailor made for them

I haven't seen Kubo in a full match although I've tracked his progress over the years.. He has that typical left-footed footballing genius.. dribbling agility, passing vision, crossing/shooting technique..

 

Gnonto, on the other hand, seems to me more of an athletic striker but he's too small for that role.. from what I've seen he lacks the footballing brain to ever be a top creative player from the wing.. 

Agree - I just feel the Kubo type is better for us - we have the more direct players in Gordon and Barnes - just want something a bit different on that side 

19 minutes ago, Emotic said:

Apropos of this, Wilfried Gnonto and Takefusa Kubo's stats for the 23/24 season are astonishingly similar (albeit in different leagues). Kubo has 7 goals and 5 assists across 2,935 minutes played and Gnonto 9 goals and 3 assists across 2,192. Kubo is a centimetre taller than Gnonto  but older by a couple of years. 

 

Just a bit of stats wankery cos I'm so bored in this rumour drought. But Gnonto has Premier League experience and a potentially high ceiling. Not a bad move if the price is right.

PL experience counts for nothing - Botman, Bruno, Isak to name just 3

Kubo is the better player and in my view is best suited to our team

I just see him as a Livramento/Hall type signing. We still need to be thinking of the future and not being scared off by FFP just because of what happened last month. 20 year old and already 60 games in the top two divisions and 10 caps for Italy seems a good profile that we can help fulfil his potential. 

 

 

 

If we have the money I’d rather sign someone like a Kubo who is the right age profile and a far superior player 

3 minutes ago, Optimistic Nut said:

 

He's only 20, though? I don't think Gordon playing both wings and Barnes and Gnonto splitting game time, with Murphy in reserve is a bad pool. 

We have to look at someone at a higher level than Gnomto - seen enough of him to suggest he isn’t the one 

I think Poch would be a decent choice tbh

my godson speaks fluent spanish and thats some harsh bants with the spanish coach there.

these brazilians man.

nufc twitter mustn't have an interpreter

 

 

 

Didn’t even know we had a Spanish coach 

These crowd issues have apparently been ongoing throughout the tournament - concerns have been raised even by the Argies regarding lack of security for families

Is there a general lack of interest in this, looking back to other tournaments the hype was always unreal, pretty meh or am i just a miserable cunt .

 

 

 

Probably because most people fell asleep after 65 mins

Also doesn't make sense to me.

 

Not a RW. Right footed. Already in the PL. 3 years left on the contract. Almost at peak value.

 

I don't understand these links to him and Bowen, can only assume it's largely made up/based on light interest.

 

 

 

I’d happily take Soule and Mbuemo tbh

Still think it’ll be MGW.

Yeah this - there has to be something in Anderson going the other way surely?

How many signings is that now for Chelsea?

13 minutes ago, KaKa said:

 

Been linked with Newcastle a fair bit going back a few years now, and so maybe he's one that is in the database.

 

If Trippier leaves maybe he's an option we're considering.

The fact he can play both sides means he ticks the box for me 

That Turkish left back - shades of Tino about him

We should be eliminated from this tournament for stinking up the place alone. 

Should just go to a local park and play the French there - fitting place for both
