Would they really loan out Christian? He balls out for them when given he chance and he gets sent away to start the next year...that would be strange.

I know exactly where he will end up...

On the left wing and Sterling will be on the bench

i think a 3-man front of auba-kun-sterling could work

theoretically, of course

that would be one deadly counter for sure, especially if KDB can pull the strings from the middle (i've lost faith in silva due to health)

having sterling, auba, KDB, kun, etc up top for depth is a good thing

I don't think they will, but they're bringing in a lot of similar players with high potential. Someone will be the odd man out, have to hope Christian solidifies himself after Copa.

How good of a player do you think he is? I've seen a few games, but not enough to really make a judgment. Do you think he can adapt to the Premier League?

I also saw Nainggolan has been saying he's happy where he's at. I assume he's trying to get even more money.


Perfect for the EPL and exactly what every single EPL side should be after: pure box to box midfielder who's very physical, tireless, probably the best pure ball winner in the game and still has pretty refined skills in the attack.


His game is very comparable to Arturo Vidal, with Vidal being a little more skilled around the box passing and Nainggolan being a little better tackler/ball hawk.

He does want to stay at Roma and has been very vocal about it. However, the upshot of him mentioning the Chelsea contract offer is certainly pressuring the club to increase his salary.

However, he just got a big raise this past summer, so I'm not sure how welcome that is.

Also, Rudiger just got an ACL injury and will likely miss the complete season next year, so there may be a lot more willingness to sell someone big on Roma's part as they now have to buy a starting CB . . .

At this point, Pulisic has more of a resume than Emre Mor.

Why splash the cash for Aubamayang when you have Kelechi?

Kelechi had many great moments, but he also had games where he was invisible. I don't think you pass on Aubameyang because you have Kelechi.

Plus if City are buying him it's probably to make him primarily a winger and occasionally a striker. Not to make him the #2 striker.

I don't blame them. Aubameyang is one of my favorite Fifa purchases.

A front six of Aubameyang, Aguero, Sterling, Gundogan, KDB and Fernandinho would be mighty okay with me.

I like him a lot. If Chelsea got him I'd be jealous if we didn't already get Gundogan.

And then you have something like this in reserve: Fernando, Yaya, Silva, Delph, Navas, Nasri, and Kelechi.

Of course Fernando and Delph were always meant to be subs, and Navas just doesn't score enough to get starting minutes with the talent they have, but there are going to be some unhappy guys for sure

There will be exits. Yaya is almost certainly gone.

I mean if you figure Aubameyang is a Bony replacement and Gundogan is a Yaya replacement, then nothing has changed from this previous season.

I also wouldn't be sad if some of those other names moved on though.

So you are going to pay 58+ million for a squad player and second striker

What happens with Nacho then

Think 30m is a little steep for him, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised considering PSG fricked up the market for CB's buying David Luiz. He's a good player and still pretty young.

Andy Lonergan has left Fulham on a two-year deal to Wolves. Leaves Marcus Bettinelli as the clear #1 goalkeeper with Jesse Joronen the #2. Unless some miracle sees Stekelenburg come back now that Koeman has left Southampton.
