Milner played in 43 games for Liverpool last season, his fitness is unlikely to be a problem next season for us. Webster has always looked a bit rusty when coming back into the side after an injury, but we do need a few players in defensive positions.
Not a whoosh, just me posting agreement in a careless manner, unless you are being sarcastic with this Whoosh, in which case I have just been Whooshed by your Whoosh.:unsure:
They don't happen, two clubs being interested just makes it easier for the selling club to say no at lower figures, once one bid is accepted, that fee will usually be all that is required from any club, though that may differ if to a direct rival.
I think this may be the only way we get Colwill, but with both clubs over paying considerably, to give Chelsea a greater net positive for this year. Depends on them not making the fee they want for Mount, or other good sales.
There is a reason that we could take a player on loan, if De Zerbi really wants them in his side and we cannot buy them. Yes, preferable to buy quality and develop for this club rather than Chelsea, and it weakens the pull of our academy as one where you will get chances in the first team if a...
A player on a long contract is going to be harder to prise away than one on a short one, the fees for Bissouma and Trossard versus the fees for White and Cucurella reflect that. Certainly true that a player under contract does not have to go anywhere he does not want to, not even out on loan...
He might feel more certain of being first pick there, he has worked under him before and presumably knows he will be happy under him again. But I do think we will do whatever it takes to get him, as he seems perfect for De Zerbi.
I thought that with Cucurella and Bissouma leaving, we got better.
De Zerbi is going to be backed in this window, one way or another I am sure we will have the players to play how De Zerbi wants to, and there is always going to be some turn over of players in the Summer. Better that we sell and...
Maybe, but the loan only works for Chelsea if we actually play him, and unless he can fill a Moises shaped hole, I am not sure he would be played ahead of the lads we have.
If he can fill a Moises shaped hole, why would Chelsea buy Moises for tens of millions, when they have this kid?
Regarding deals involving Colwill, I think Chelsea could go for a deal as long as we offered cash for Colwill. They need to balance the books, and a sale of Colwill is all profit in this year, as he has no transfer fee being amortised.
If they paid OTT for Caicedo, lets say £120M, on a five year...
All the big clubs were interested in Evan Ferguson, he chose Brighton because there was a clear path to the first team if he did well enough, At the big 6 clubs, the opportunities are fewer.
The club absolutely should be strong in the January window, and not be pressured into selling then, but...
