VillaChris Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Chelsea are just in a different league regarding transfers and have been since 2003 so I wouldn't get worked up about their transfers. More annoying the transfers Leicester and Wolves do. I know Wolves have the Mendes arrangement and Leicester won the league recently but they were both in the championship six yards ago. Also shatters the myth of why would any decent player want to live in Birmingham/Midlands which seems to lazily get wheeled out when we miss out on good players.

SirSteveUK Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Nce to see Celtic knocked out of the CL. Only as much as it might change the Edouard situation. No offence to our Irish lads... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'd be surprised how many of us Irish don't support Celtic Hope to snatch Edouard from them certainly. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please give us players with the same impact this season! I by the way wonder what happened with Riccardo Scimeca? I loved him, looked superb in our back three at the time, then he just disappeared, did he go to work at his family's pasta joint or what happened? No, his family sold that restaurant years ago. I'm not sure what he's doing now, Ive known his cousin for years, and know his brothers quite well. They're all still local, I think Ricardo still owns a fair bit of property round here,but not sure what he's doing 'full time'. He joined us for a five a side game once, whilst he was still playing for villa. Quite an eye opener - none of us could get near him, and he wasn't breaking a sweat. He wasn't really that quick either, premier league wise.. Anyway, have we signed anyone yet? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSteveUK Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 We are favourites (or joint favs) to sign the following (make of this what you will) Buendia 6/1 jt (Leeds, AtleticoM, Valencia) Watkins 4/6 (but drifting out from 1/3) Edouard 4/1 jt (with Arsenal) Benrahma 15/8 Abraham 4/1 Cantwell 4/1 jt (Leicester) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, Guilbert is a specialist right back and Konsa is predominately a centre back. Players should play in their correct positions for me. I am aware that Konsa has been filling in a right back 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul514 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) 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. Edited August 27, 2020 by paul514 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyVillans Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Loftus-cheek on loan with option to buy would be great due to his injury problems. Nice alternative to losing out on mckennie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Bakayoko was amazing for Monaco. Genuinely surprised it hasn't worked for him even at Chelsea. I think he needs to get a move abroad. At his best I think he could have been decent for us. But as is the case with foreign players sometimes the premier League isn't the right league for them.
