"Chelsea 'considering' using €80m of €200m warchest on Kai Havertz" - Kristof Terreur
Good question. I've always found those sorts of headlines "considering a bid", "set to offer x amount" etc funny in a way because they don't actually mean anything.Why would they consider using a sum of money which isn’t enough to sign the player?
Id be over the feckin moon if we pulled it off.Good question. I've always found those sorts of headlines "considering a bid", "set to offer x amount" etc funny in a way because they don't actually mean anything.
But Kristof Terruer is deemed very reliable so I thought it was worth posting.
Juventus piss me off, they sign a ridiculous amount of players and are also tight as a ducks ass.Tweet

If true then surely that means Choudhury/Ndidi could be open to moving? Why would they need all three?Tweet

William Carvalho has an advanced agreement with Leicester to leave at the end of the season. Understanding between the clubs is lacking but all parties welcome this operation
Leicester have a Champions League campaign on the horizon. They will need far more strength in depth to prepare for the extra big games.If true then surely that means Choudhury/Ndidi could be open to moving? Why would they need all three?
Sure, but 3 DMs seems like overkill for me.Leicester have a Champions League campaign on the horizon. They will need far more strength in depth to prepare for the extra big games.
Would definitely be looking at a Maguire like price for him but ideal player to shield back four and let Pogba & Bruno flourish.Why do they need him? Bit strange. Can we please buy Ndidi.

Definition of a nothing player. Pointless.Tweet

Amazing thing is they got a fee for him.
Papy Mendy’s contract was up this summer and Hamza Chowdhury is more of a box to box midfielder.Sure, but 3 DMs seems like overkill for me.
Fitness issues.I’m not the most avid watcher of Spanish football but every time I’ve watched him Arthur has looked really good. Is there a reason they’d move him on for a much older player?Tweet

I'm a big fan of his, but yep, you're right. He plays it way too safe. He makes Cleverley look like an adventurous passer.I've watched him quite a number of times. The only thing he is really good at is evading press and short passes
Nice signing.Tweet

I don't see any movement in this.Fitness issues.
Off the pitch trouble.
Inconsistent performances.
I'm a big fan of his, but yep, you're right. He plays it way too safe. He makes Cleverley look like an adventurous passer.
His ability to deal with pressing opposition is next level, though. His only standout attribute, and, to be fair, it's a great one to have.
The best teams have squad depth.Why do they need him? Bit strange. Can we please buy Ndidi.
Vidal and Countinho are not required.That may have something to do with the non-EU player limit rule in La Liga. At the moment, here are Barcelona's non-EU players: Arthur, Vidal, Suarez, Neto, and Ronald Araujo. Moussa Wagué's another, but he's currently on loan. When Wagué comes back, Barcelona will have to drop one player from their team.
The Arthur exit rumours tell me that Barcelona may still value Suarez and Vidal. They probably don't want to go after another backup keeper (don't know why they exchanged Cillesen in the first place), and they do appear to like both Araujo and Wagué. Since Barcelona are only allowed 3 non-EU players in their matchday squads, Arthur may not be able to make it ahead of Suarez, Vidal, and Neto. If that's the case, then they're probably trying to cut their losses and exchange him for an EU player of the same profile.
This has nothing to do with his ability; Arthur's a great player. However, he's probably being seen as a luxury rather than a necessity. If they really valued him that much, they'd be looking to get him Spanish citizenship.
EDIT: I forgot about Coutinho. Barcelona really did screw up their squad building & management.
He's really not better though,Seriously, I would take him back. He could be the perfect foil for Maguire.
OK he’s no Varane but better then the rest in our squad. Certainly better than Lindelof.
I wish. But the truth is Carvalho has been crap this season. I mean he's made 4 tackles with 10 players dribbling past him, I highly doubt this is Leicester's idea of replacing their ball winner.Ndidi to us?

Right. And then as soon as it turns to 01 July and a new accounting year, it will be ‘BREAKING - Barcelona have agreed a £72.5m deal to sign Miralem Pjanic from Juventus’.Tweet

You might want to change that focus from Bellingham to Van Der Beek/GrealishThe best teams have squad depth.
We have learnt that a few injuries and your playing Andreas Periera as a DM. Disaster.
Carvalho is a good player, surprised he hasnt played at a much bigger club than he has with respect.
I wouldnt consider signing good players to be strange, just makes sense to me.
Ndidi to us would cost a fortune. Not going to happen this summer. Sancho and Bellingham are our focus by the looks of it
