Hopefully this place will cheer up a bit. Scenes when we sign a winger we don't need for 55 mill. Lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

est1874 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Rob Holding does not improve us, he's just yet another body at CB. No thanks. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tayls Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Mings and Konsa for the remainder of the season, just like last. Only the one adjustment made now after the injury to Carlos. That’s how we will roll. The pressure really is on Gerrard and the coaches to get this lot playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’s probably better than Konsa and Hause. Maybe even Chambers. Think you’d be surprised. If we sign Holding, I imagine we might look to move Konsa on next window if he hasn’t improved (seems to be regressing if anything). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Chalobah will be leaving Chelsea on loan apparently. Largely played in a back three and Chelsea won't be open to an option to buy, but still and all could be a shout given the circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can play DM too which is good for us. My cousin who supports Chelsea says he’s very left footed apparently? If we are assuming we don’t get another CM, I’d be curious to see Kamara as the 8 that is the bridge between our defenders and forward players and maybe Chalobah as our DM in some matches.

Forest are just going what we did years ago. They'll do well to survive IMO. Weren't Newcastle meant to be spending a billion quid on the worlds best?

We never play a back 3 and no option to buy = not interested. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewieGriffin Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I imagine whichever CB we may sign will be a starter - we've got depth, but Carlos was brought in as a starter as Gerrard clearly wanted something else from his centre-back(s). I dont see us signing a body, so Id be amazed if we signed Rob Holding. Whats Eric Bailly up to these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were gone without covid. Forest's promotion was very similar to ours - highly dependant on loans and in all fairness, probably didn't expect to get promoted that season, especially considering where we both were with a few months of the season to go. All of a sudden, you are almost in a supermarket sweep scenario of having to buy a new squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trillvillan Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Cheikh Niasse is an interesting player - a defensive mid that could play alongside Kamara or alone. Could also play CB if need be in emergency situations. Only 22 and adds some steel/athleticism in the midfield. I'm not saying he should be a priority cause he's a young talent but I think these are cheeky signings we need to buy before they turn into 30-40m players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea usually don’t mind an option to buy, they also like a buy back option and a sell on clause. That’s why they let so many academy players go.
