LV Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 1 hour ago, The College Dropout said: Didn’t say they didn’t rate him. Livramento was highly rated at Chelsea’s academy from early. He’s been capped at every junior England age group and was a standout performer in the academy. But Rheece James is that guy. Chelsea and Tino knew that. Still think Tino will be a great signing. But if James stays injury free he won’t be a regular for Wngland Cool Whip Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 I am getting the Brexit FC thing like. I'm just hoping my cynicism is OTT and they're all class players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Aye we’ve spent a lot of money on non-elite English players. I don’t think that approach is great value for money. I like Barnes and really like Tino though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 (edited) Gordon is also looking very sharp. Was always impressed by him at Everton but it was suppressed by my dislike of his diving Edited August 3, 2023 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDog Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Doesn't 40M seem a bit steep? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 It is, but that’s the price these days. Elite is Declan rice and Jude Bellingham and they were 100m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t know as the gaffa keeps his cards close to his chest. Personally I do see Trips playing left back ala zinchenko occasionally particularly at home but let’s see.

Well according to him all Chelsea fans knows Tino is good enough to start for any team in the world, and he left the club only because of James.

Pancrate1892 Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Could this signing not allude to Eddie wanting to switch formation some games to 3 at the back? (Sorry if it's been mentioned) He tried trippier right side of the 3 and it didn't really work, maybe he sees livremento there with schar and botman? But then it's still asks the left wingback question.....unless Roberto Carlos is coming Going back to trippier on the left....I don't like the idea because then there is zero width on the left. Even Dan burn gives more width than that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieDazzler Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 People are worrying about the price, it’s pretty much the going rate these days for high ceiling young English players. City have just sold an non English academy player for close to 20m who hasn’t played a minute in the league. 40m (which is just the rumoured amount and is big chunk of add ons) for an English player, who’s already shown that they could be absolutely top level is probably about right. If he achieves what is expected of him then 40m could end up looking great value. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronson333 Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 (edited) So reading the Southampton forum about this lad, main things they said: - Previous manager Ralph H ran him into the ground and he was already playing with an injury to his other knee before the ACL. - great talent and very good going forward. -His game is based around pace and explosiveness. - Not the best defender yet, needs to work on positioning and lunges in a bit too much.
