2020/2021 Midfielders Rumours Thread

Ivanović? He left Chelsea 4 years ago bratan

 

[wera]

I keep seeing Ivanović when Azpillicueta plays, you are absolutely correct

 

[thatdude]

I'd say Chelsea has a really great team and they got rid of Ivanović, Willian,.. and Lampard is also a pretty capable coach.

Werner, Kova, Kante, Jorginho, Barkley, Ziyech, Havertz, .. fuck it, I like their team better than ours

Exciting team no doubt but I still feel like they lack experience. Werner, Havertz, Pulisic, Chilwell all need to have big seasons for young players.

 

[wera]

We rarely see a team be so young and so full of talent, it's a huge risk, but they will be dangerous for years to come.

I hope they do well just because they had the balls to trust Lampard that much.

 

[.h.]

just to point out kovacic is 26 now...kante 29, barkley 26... jorginho 28...

our core is as incredible IMHO. Lautaro (23), Lukaku (27), Barella (23), Sensi (25), Hakimi (21), Skriniar (25), Bastoni (21), De Vrij (28).

We just need to round out LWB, GK, and another MC. Get rid of Longo, JM, Vecino, Gagliardini, Candreva, etc.

To replace them with Vidal,Kolorov, or lorente.

Godin is a perfect example of how you get screwed with a players wages when there is a sudden redirection. Godin was brought and at the time was considered a great deal. One season passes by and now the management is scrambling to get him off the books to only replace him with another very short term replacement.

The way of dealing will always create issues and is not worth the risk or financial commitment.

 

[.h.]

i mean tbf even from day one i was a bit cautious about godin, we've been burned by vidic etc recently and signing an ex-world-class CB for bosman sounds great, doesnt work.

We also signed the Brazilian captain 2-3 years ago and that didn’t work either

Issue is Godin expected to start. Kolarov will not. He knows he has to fight for a spot

Again didn’t want and don’t want either. But are you going to rely on CBs that are as young as we have. A drop in confidence can fk us hard. As the next most senior defender is Rano who is like 7th choice

We all would love to get rid of Longo but I'm pretty sure he signed a lifetime contract back when he was with Inter Primavera

How did Miranda not work out for us?

Miranda was pretty good for us all things considered. My expectations werent MASSIVE, but him+skriniar did make a major impact on our defense.

 

[Candreva Crosses]

They were the best duo centerbacks in Serie A. Gold fishes everywhere

 

[Wings]

In Miranda's last season he was still the second-best CB. Our best duo was Skriniar-Miranda that season, not Skriniar-De Vrij.

 

[Pravesh]

It all makes sense now. It was not Conte preferring Vidal over Tonali or anything. Our management might have realized later on - "Oh damn, we are supposed to honour our agreement with Genoa for Pinamonti."

 

[Universe]

And with Parma for Darmian

 

[SiamoNoi]

Issue is Godin expected to start. Kolarov will not. He knows he has to fight for a spot

Issue was three at the back.34 year old and first time in that kind of defence,what you expected?

I don't know why you think he was not ready to fight when who proved that he is ready.

 

[Il Drago]

Fabrizio Romano on his podcast about Ndombele:

“So Ndombele, we can say, in this moment, the deal [has] collapsed with Inter, it’s not progressing, because the real problem between Inter and Tottenham for the Ndombele and Skriniar deal is about the valuation of the players.

“Inter think that Ndombele has the same value [as] Milan Skriniar, Tottenham are absolutely against this kind of mentality. They want around €40m or €30m [on top] of Milan Skriniar. So the swap deal, in this moment, is so, so complicated.”

[nurko]

Fabrizio Romano on his podcast about Ndombele:

What the fuck?

 

[Shark]

Fuckin inter man. Stop lowballing them and just close the damn deal at 50m + Skriniar for Ndombele. He's easily the best midfielder in the world right now.

 

[CafeCordoba]

Yeah, Levy can suck dick and so on.
