Drinky for Fabregas swap or get lost.  I'm also in the camp of keep DD and RM if we can. 

Can't believe I'm saying this but I don't think we should sign Fabregas even if we could. He slows play down a lot in possession and it just doesn't suit our style. We win the ball and play at 100mph to attack and get as far forward as possible as quickly as possible. He doesn't fit that at all.

I'd have trusted our old network to find 4 really good players for that cash a couple of seasons ago, now i'm not so sure. 

I have no idea what our recruitment team looks like now, but the signings this summer have been far better than the last 2 windows, despite not having Walsh for the last 3 windows. I wonder if the manager has more of an influence on signings than we think

I think Shaky is going to mix it up a bit more this season.  Iborra - not 100mph, James, the same.  Kelechi is way more of a thinking and crafty forward too.  I think our style will change with less reliance on Vardy being the only outlet.  He'll still be an outlet but we have the ability to mix it up some more.  Also, if there's anyone that can pick a pass it's Cesc.

 

My comment was more about keeping DD too! lol

Salah is looking cheap for Liverpool. And that was 39m, great player though. Prices have gone mad. And you are probably right Neymars transfer will probably just make it worse. Barca will pay 100+ m for Coutinho. Liverpool will have to panic and buy someone over the odds. The selling team will need to replace and so on. 

Liverpool really made a good deal, by PL price standards, that is. The guy is quality and I'm looking forward to watch him this season. 37M for DD reeks of panic buy.

He's perfectly able to pick a pass over an already regrouped defense or find the gap between two defenders. We saw last year how hard it was to play against deep lying teams and a guy like Cesc is exactly what you'd need in this case. That said, can't see him coming here.

I guess I mean the ones this season aren't exactly rabbits out of the hat... they're well known good young players.


I'd be more confident of signing 4 or 5 with that money if we were still unearthing Gems for sub ten million lol

I think he's worth 30M at best and this just because of the inflated market. Unless you can somewhere unearth a gem like Ndidi I can't see any quality midfielder coming in the PL for less than 50M. Neymar's transfer will contribute to skyrocket the prices even more. 

 

I think it would be crazy for us to turn down £37m for a good solid PL player.

 

You may say "inflated market" but £37m still buys you almost anyone.

 

Yourri Tielmanns who has been tipped as a future world class player for years went to Monaco for £21m this summer.

22 year old Bernado Silva went to Monaco to Man City for only £6m more.

 

If we refused £37m for Drinkwater then that smacks of panic that we have no idea how to replace him.

I know Drinky would be quite easily replaceable but with the new season starting in a few days it's something that I wouldn't see happening.

Sensible, it'd just be Chelsea and Leicester fans arguing in the comments if they were open.

Not sure if he's trying to tell us something (other than the obvious) by posting that.

I'd imagine it's more to do with the fact that his infant child is in the picture.

 

We've seen time and time again that football supporters, especially armed with keyboards, are complete c**ts.

He wouldn't be number 4 at Chelsea. 

Don't sell.

Until November last season DD was a one man army, our only good player. He picked up an injury, played through it but lost his form. 

If we can get him back on song he's quality and a shoe in for the next world cup.

I don't think the fact that he has dressed his son in a Leicester shirt means sod all when it comes to him staying or going. The blokes on 80 grand a week, a football shirt costs 50-70 quid. That means that he could sign for Chelsea on the same wages, buy a Chelsea shirt for his little one and still have about 45 grand left after tax to last him until next Friday.
