Vardy scoring…

Aye didn’t realise he was 32!

Squad depth?

I didn’t say we’ll have to go for him. I hinted that Aston Villa will now need a 1st choice GK if it looks like Martinez is leaving and with us being at a similar trajectory as Villa and them having a Spanish manager and DOF it might not be as nailed on we are getting the Spanish lad after all and Trafford is possibly our next GK regardless of reports. I also said that if a player chooses a club over another based on one being in the UCL and another not but equally fighting for the same goals long term with bigger ambitions further down the line I’d be weary of signing that type of player. So maybe you do need to take a short break from here but not on my account.

Exactly. So I’d be wary of a player waiting to see where we finish in the league if that was the argument.

Do you reallly want a player/players signing for you based on that sole reason?

The plot thickens… Maybe we’ll end up with Trafford after all!

Have you rang the club?

Doesn’t matter if deal structured correctly apparently. Can buy in June and stick it into July. Just cant do vice versa.

Probably just as important to get the message out that we will be adding quality to benefit our purples rather than spend his time being asked which purples are leaving. Setting the tone for the club not to be bullied and land a few blows of our own. As I’ve said before this summer is phase 2 of the project.

In fairness after watching all our games this season barring Palace away I thought Vardy was one of the forwards that give us the most problems away from home. Surprisingly in the air as much as running the channels.

Yep. We are just over a week before start putting plans into action you’d imagine though maybe due to the priorities and us losing out on a GK twice last season maybe they don’t want to miss out. I agree though. All ifs but’s maybe’s stage still.

Body language from the way they interact in press conferences and the way LE talks about EH in the media. Over a period of time anyone with a bit intuitivity could surmise. Whereas he’s well aware of CH…

Hope sensibly reading my post from yesterday on Gittens

You do realise LE is one of EH’s most trusted journalists. Managers do call in favours to plant stories for their benefit. We don’t need to know if he’s fit do we? Even more so Arsenal don’t need to know our likely lineup. So what’s the problem?

If he’s fit. He should be selected if needed.

Chelsea have a buy back/sell on option though. Think they want to move on Chalobah.

Get that morning coffee in you…

Just said the same in the Botman thread! 👍🏻

Lascelles gets his chance for his great send off!

Guehi to Chelsea…

I’d say you were thinking along the same lines as me 🙂

Mendy I thought was excellent for Chelsea then that game against Real Madrid seemed to ruin him.
