GEFAFWISP Posted August 21, 2024 Share Posted August 21, 2024 I liked Disasi pre-Chelsea but he's not close to a ball playing defender so wouldn't fit as a direct Schar replacement at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted August 21, 2024 Share Posted August 21, 2024 Did Mitchell buy Wilfred Singo for Monaco? Often plays at RB but has experience at CB. Quick, good on the ball and 6’3”… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted August 21, 2024 Share Posted August 21, 2024 I don't care how good Disasi is or isn't, I'm vehemently against us supporting Chelsea's business model. Unless we can buy one of their players for less than they paid, we should look elsewhere. What they're doing needs to be made to fail. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the overall point is, we don’t have to sell our star players to player trade as we already demonstrated. People losing it because we sold Minteh is mad, imagine if we actually sold a Bruno… Did he? I only saw him making an argument that we would struggle to sell him for more than £30m now due to his age. While I think we still could get more than that, he is definitely at the age where we will value him higher than other clubs (maybe bar Saudi clubs) are willing to pay, which I guess was his main point. Same situation with Bowen who is probably stuck at West Ham now for a similar reason even if clubs like ourselves are interested in him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old players keep on deteriorating but you can do nothing. Your hands are tied. It’s wrong to think we have gone through the toughest part of PSR (last Jun). In fact it will hit us the hardest this season and the next. I wonder who else can we sell at Jun 26 when our revenue is not high enough to meet PSR requirement. Anyway, no one wants to think that far. Just keep all the best players, buy a marque CB, finish Top 4 and get ECL revenue next season. Problem solved isn’t it?

There does seem to be an overly negative reaction with Chelsea players on here when we are linked with them, so it is hard to gauge genuine criticism of the player on ability or being part of the Chelsea machine which does come across as a shambles. I would say this one could be a possibility, he was linked with us last summer and also the Mitchell link so he will know him personally. Very strong decent in the air but prone to silly errors. The suggestion is his concentration levels aren’t the best. Can fill in at Right Back . The story is that he is second in your list of CB targets and that if you go for him you will be buying one of him and Madueke the other would be on a season long loan with an obligation akin to the Hall deal. The numbers I hear are both circa £40 million each Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he not mostly behind Tapsoba and Tah (who has went to Bayern?) last season? Having followed Bonniface at Leverkusen last season I got to see a fair bit of them. They had a really great set of centre backs that played their 3 at the back system. Kossonou and Hincapie are younger, and tended to come in and out for their more experienced ones, but both are really talented. Kossonou is probably the best athlete of all their centre backs as he is very very quick. Against very physical strikers can sometimes struggle a bit. In the AFCON final, I remember Osimhen gave him some problems in that regard. And so will have to continue to improve in that area. Think people will love his pace especially. And he's a good defender in general and good on the ball. Just not as far along as Tapsoba is, and not as effortless and cool a customer. If we are in for him would be a good signing IMO.

Bunk Moreland Posted August 21, 2024 Share Posted August 21, 2024 Don't know how reliable kicker.de is but was having a read around and they wrote this yesterday about Tapsoba: "The transfer fee proposed by the Saudi Arabian clubs for Tapsoba (25, contract until 2028) would have to be well over the 50 million euro mark to have even a rudimentary chance of success. Tapsoba's fixed transfer fee is a whopping 95 million euros. "If Bayer were to accept an offer of more than 50 million euros, the transfer balance so far this summer, which is at a minus of around 27 million euros, would suddenly become positive." Saudi clubs here refers to clubs in Saudi who were apparently interested. But 50m EUR minimum seems like a fair starting point for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't appear they are bringing in any established decent players, or any kind of decent manager, and so it doesn't look like they are going to benefit anyway. They've spent a billion and look completely lost. If anything we should continue to facilitate exactly what they are currently doing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
