Means Tuchel doesn't rate him and he's had some bad form. Kim has also lost his place to Dier and from what I've seen of him, he'd walk into our team. That would probably be my first choice among him and Upamecano.

If Bayern do buy Tah or another CB, selling Upamecano makes sense unless the new manager wants him starting. If it's Rangnick, he's worked with him (bought him for Leipzig I assume?) and they seem to get on, so I imagine he'd stay. If not, I...

I think that still leaves us pretty light in terms of tackling and defending. You'd want a Rabiot, Guido Rodriguez or a young #6 signed as a 2nd DM option I think.

I wonder if we should have a match-goers thread for people to post observations and answer questions on, because on TV you don't get a good sense of if say Hojlund is making good runs in behind.

You can really see why so few players play at a top level past 33 or so, and how unathletic #10s like Riquelme have sadly gone out of the game. He's a year or 2 early but also obviously had serious health issues that might impact things, and also...

Absolutely. I'm not really a fan of the player, much less paying 60M for him, as he's tidy and works hard but there are damn near always Spaniards who do that for cheaper who Madrid and Barca turn their nose up at, like say Soler who went from...

Bruno-Mount Mainoo-Fofana DM-Fofana McTominay to a mid-table side pays for Fofana. Casemiro heads to a retirement league and big money spent on a DM (along with a backup striker and 2 defenders, one left-sided, one RCB). Looks about right. Might...

I guess the meeting was a disaster, but in theory that could work nicely for both parties since Amorim could probably get a big job by getting into the top 5-6 range for a couple years and in terms of the players suiting his tactics, Kudus and...

I know teams are smarter now, but surely we're never gonna get a better chance to sell him at maximum value than this summer, at 27 years old with 2 years left on his contract and coming off a season in which he scored a Lampard-esque 17 goals in...

Quick call to Tuchel's agent to find out if he can quit on May 9th after they lose to Madrid with 2 games left in the Bundesliga, find out it's an no for financial reasons and he's offended we even asked. Only report the first part to INEOS to...

Haha I looked this up too: https://www.transfermarkt.us/pep-guardiola/bilanztrainer/trainer/5672 Di Matteo, Koeman and Ole stand out, along with Genesio, Schubert and Berdyev.

Agreed on both counts, but at the same time, if the price was somehow like 15-20M (he does only have a year left) and it was say a 3 year deal on reasonable wages, I'd be fine with it, assuming Amass is seen as a Mainoo/Garnacho level prospect.

They should just sell Chilwell, he's been there 4 years so they get most of the money and probably some Prem team would overpay.

It's probably a bad idea because Madrid would rinse us in terms of a fee like with Casemiro and the player might be less motivated as it seems like he doesn't want to leave, but if Davies goes to Madrid, then they might want to sell Mendy with...

I haven't seen much of him, but I think Xabi Alonso/Bayer's football may help him as probably some teams will copy them and want a player who can Grimaldo-style play LW/LM with the ball and LWB without it and 20 assists in the Champo suggests he...
