Fuck was I thinking watching that.

Yeah that just makes me sad.  

 

Him and Isak as two of a front three would just be so nasty. 

[Mike]

A Ben Arfa regen linking up with Bruno and Isak and getting passes from Tonali is fucking sickening to think about.

[Mike]

4:45 would have killed Ando, mind.

He would be my first choice as a RW option. Genuinely 2 footed so can ghost ppl both ways, insane football intelligence too.

 

Only issue is he isn't a Howe type player. Defending was always an afterthought but according to scout reports he has improved here too.

 

The prices quoted seem low too due to Lyons financial situation.

 

Please Mitchell veto this transfer on 1st January

Would have Eze for close to 80 fucking mil over fucking Guehi, like

We didn’t bid anywhere near that amount. Trust me. 

Perhaps. Even if the figure was 55 million, our transfer activity would still have been substantial, and it was  reported that we met Olise's release clause. which was also around 50 million or so.

Point still stands. We are capable of spending large amounts for what the club consider the right player.

Not without offsetting that with a big sale.

Perhaps, but the club's much publicised pursuit of  Guehi suggests they had a plan to compensate for the acquisition, possibly through player sales as you say or other means, or maybe we have a bit of PSR wiggle room. Its all speculation and a matter of opinion. A matter of fact though is the club were willing to spend money for  Guehi.

Eddie said recently that he expects us to be quiet in January.  I think that is the most likely outcome. 

 

He said without any player trading we would be quiet. Dubs and Miggy heavily rumoured to be going so that gives me some hope we'll do something.

Just on that subject there's an article today in one of the papers about young players Man City have let go which are spearheading Chelsea's push for the top. Cole, Adarabioyo and Lavia were mentioned. Pep really did seem to put too much faith in experience and technique and not putting enough attention on age and physicality.

 

While Man City have won the league nearly every season.

Cherki would be my dream signing too. No matter how he his defensively/attitude wise. Just pure ridiculous natural talent and then some. The space he would bring for others in the team would make a massive difference. Would make us so much more unpredictable and creative.

 

He is exactly type I’ve wanted. A player with flair and guile. Very very much would prefer him ahead of someone like Bakayoko. He’s more of a HBA type of natural talent meanwhile Bakayoko is more in the mould of Doku/ASM who rely more on “self educated” technical ability and trickery. Some players are just born with that ridiculously smooth technical ability and flair and intelligence /awareness.

[BoSelecta]

The ceiling on Cherki is so high. Stinks of a Manure signing where he adds to the rot of their culture and wastes half his prime years before returning to France and tearing it up again. 

[geordie john]

I'd absolutely love him here, he'd wow the crowds and lift every player around him. But, I read that Liverpool are closing in on him. Don't know how true that is....

[Sibierski]

Cherki I’d love. There’s big question marks, but he gets you off your seat and that’s what I want. Players with personality, not to end up as a machine boring mentality that we’ve seen of Man City, where individual brilliance is reduced.

Trafford surely coming in if Dubravka goes?

[Shak]

Cherki would be an exciting signing for a number of reasons.

 

Obviously, primarily because he's an absolute joy to watch stylistically.

 

However, it would also show some commitment from Eddie to the idea of evolving our playing style. He's been trying to do it this year to mixed results, fair to say. Bringing in Cherki would be committing to the idea by bringing in a player that is going to offer us a lot more in possession, sacrificing something in terms of work rate to get it.

 

Would be all for it, anyway.

[Disco]

City not interested in Bruno according the The Athletic’s City reporter.

[Lush Vlad]

Have we even been linked with Cherki? Or is this people just wanting him here? Can only see Liverpool rumours. 

[Ikon]

Not my preferred type of wide player but I wouldn’t be against going for Kolo-Muani tbh. We are so light with only Isak being good enough to lead the line so it would be a great loan to cover two positions. He would also give us another threat in the air. His wages are a bit high (200k-ish?) but I’m sure the financial part isn’t impossible to sort out. Not sure about his character as I really don’t know much about him outside of football. Him on loan plus another permanent signing would set us up very nicely for the rest of the season. 
 

What’s the reason he’s being available now and not a part of their plans, anyone know? Heard someone on here talking about him being a wife beater? Recent stuff?

Don't know about the domestic stuff but when Ramos got injured he tried Asensio as a false 9 which worked I think, although I've even seen them play Dembele through the middle aswell so Enrique might not just fancy him in any of three forward positions for whatever reason, every time I've seen them this year I'm sure it's been Doue or Barcola left and Kang-in Lee or Dembele right.

I think Douglas linked us with him last week.

Yeah. I think Doue started centrally when Monaco got beat 4-2 or what it was.

 

On football ability alone it would be a great addition I think.

I might be wrong. But I read the last bit like it was Kolo Muani. But I think it was in response to someone suggesting Antony might be a good signing for £20m! 

[Holloway]

i didn't realise Cherki was that good like, it's like watching fucking Hatem all over again. Yes please.

Oh, yeah I might have got it mixed up then. Cheers mate.
