It was in one of the papers tonight. If they want him for significantly more than what we paid for him I wouldn't be against it.

Glad to see its not just me after seeing that, I'm going to link it here so others can see it.

Yea but I made a comment about this on the Eduoard thread and some people mistook what I was saying. You can watch a player in usually an inferior league or a league that is very different with how they play and say he would do very well in our league. I already preferred Eduoard and Iheanacho over him and this solidifies that’s for me.

Perhaps but it really stood out to me.

Googled it and got.... Akira Shimizu is chef director for his eponymous restaurant Akira at Japan House in Kensington, and Engawa in Soho.

I just watched a compilation of Watkins goals on the Sky Sport YouTube channel and I don't think quite a fair number of them would have resulted in a goal in this league.

Marcus Edwards is not the required quality to play as our wide forward on the left, if we are spending 15m on a left back we can do much better than Rico Henry, I think the other three players you have ear marked are debatable (but lets face it so is everyone's) As for the outs I definitely agree on Engels he is to slow and he turns like an oil tanker, I of course agree on the others listed but not our existing wide forwards as they need to be squad players for the upcoming season. I have listed my preferences here before but as you are doing it, I guess I will too and just as an FYI I want to play a 4-2-3-1 Here is my shortlist so to speak. For the forwards I would go for one of Edouard (35m), Iheanacho(25m), Watkins (25m) Wide forwards two of Buendia (20m), Sarr (30m), Rashica (25m), Benrahma (25m), (Eze 20m) One midfielder which would have been Weston McKennie after seeing all the recommendations on here I checked him out, but there are alternatives in James McCarthy (5m), Loftus-Cheek (20m or loan) Left back I would sign Owen Wijndal (10m) from Az in Holland Right back Max Aarons (20m) 1 Centre back from John Stones (20m), Ethan Ampadu (20m) although there are quite a number to choose from. So I would probably go for . Stones, Aarons, Wijndal (50m) Loftus-Cheek, Buendia, Rashica (65m) Edouard (35m) That is roughly what we spent last year and I would TRY and get rid of ..... Kalinic, Nyland, Engels, Taylor, Elmo, Bree, Lansbury, Jota, and Hogan raising 10 - 15 million and I would probably throw half of that at stoke for Jack Butland in the hope he hasn't become Joe Hart MkII I see that team being inside the top half and an excellent base to reassess next summer to trim players not up to the task of finishing every year in the top half. Ps I could have traded Loftus-Cheek for McCarthy or taken him on loan if possible and got Eze

Ty that is info I didn't know

Didn't the guy suddenly reach into his car door? Wasn't he on a warrant and had a history of weapons charges? That is what I heard.

He is surely on the move after the result today and the possibility they didn't want him cup tied or to get injured (even though that was the stated reason for leaving him out)

I was just listening to a Podcast on Chelsea's business this summer on who they may try and move out some of them may be interesting to us.... Loftus Cheek Bakayoko Ampadu Batshuayi This list of possibles was much longer.

That is what I thought..... but its Wednesday, the magical day.

Anything happened then?

Yea but we could have had him!

So we are looking at possible signings of Eze and McKennie being taken out of the picture today

Castanets surely?

29 years old and not enough premier league experience

We should riot if they spend the club money on him, I would rather they burn the money in the furnace at least that gives off heat as a positive.

He can play all a ten, a wide forward on the left and has been known to play in the midfield but not that often. realistically in the middle or left of the three of a 4-2-3-1

Wtf is wrong with Southgate? Did jack finger his daughter or something? how on Earth is he not in the squad?

Page 602 no solid links or signings

Wesley, Heaton, Targett are candidates too

I think the exact same on the formation and I can see SJM working in the two or the middle of the three in that formation.

Oh yea he’s a really good player depends on the budget
