I agree. It's more a question of getting a reliable backup, I think someone experienced, not necessarily long term. There shouldn't be any doubt he will be playing all the league matches if Mourinho is still here, but he should be getting more rest in the cups.
Because we pay them lots of monies
I've seen the stories but still I'd be surprised if he accepted the move before 2018. I get what you both are saying especially the fact that a season of bench warming isn't the best preparation for an England captain but going into semi retirement in China is even worse. He'd have no chance of going to the WC if he moved to China. It's the same reason Beckham so desperately wanted to come on loan to Milan before the 2010 WC. So I would be surprised if he accepted this move this coming summer.
Kane has just signed a new contract running for the next 5 years. He pretty obviously isn't going up sticks this summer.
Would be a good acquisition but we'd still likely lack goals. He's not the best finisher around. We'd need one of our other players to be hitting near on 20 goals
I don't know who the others are but I don't want Lukaku anywhere near us. Overrated.
Good - he's slow, we need pace upfront.
Belotti looks a very interesting prospect. Would love to hear from Someone who has watched him over a prolonged period of time.
Rumours Real Madrid are looking to offload him in the Summer. We don't want to become a graveyard the big teams Real Madrid's offcasts but Morata could possibly interest José
AND Martial AND Rashford. We can't keep 5 strikers happy at the same time.
Which is my concern.
Morata, one of the 49 Jose gave debuts to.
That's evidence of how far we've fallen. Plenty of teams have that amount of quality in their squad.
I would be amazed if any half decent team in Europe will sign him let alone someone like us, madrid have been hawking him around for quiet a while but none want him due to the whole blackmail thing.
He'll most likely go to a big club this summer, Torino have set him up to make a lot of money as he's sustained good form and suits the PL with his physical attributes.
He'd actually be a better fit than Griezmann, but I doubt Dybala is interesting in leaving.
Good post
Yeah that never nappened. Like ever.
Chances created in epl till this point in the season, chelsea 248 tottenham 299 arsenal 273 liverpool 312 man city 282 man utd 290, in contrast to that look at the goals scored, chelsea 48 tottenham 45 arsenal 51 liverpool 52 man city 47 man utd 33, our buildup play could be better but it definitely is not the problem our finishing though is a big one. iirc we are the worst team in pl at scoring sitters and equally bad at taking other gilt edged chances too, a proven goalscorer in the team would have had us competing with chelsea for the title not try to scrape top 4 as we are now.
I hope Belotti, but his clause is about 100 ml euros.
If the Independent article is true, we're selling Martial. But the same article had a sub heading we're selling Shaw too, but failed to mention it at all the the article. Selling a potential world class left side of our team would be dangerous and send us backwards imo.
