While I agree that Curtis and some others should have played more last season I don’t think he would look much different than Grav/Mac with those Slot tactics.
Anyway - we’re likely to sign another midfielder this summer and like all the other midfielders we’ve signed in the last few years that one will also be ahead of Curtis immediately.
So what happens next? Does he except his role as a long term squad player here and sign a new contract based on that or is he looking to leave on a free?
prices for these players is not sustainable. average midfielders going for 70-80 million euros. Hope this stupid market crashes soon
a bit like posting on here tbf
So the rumour of today that I saw was that Barcola is happy to join us.
Quick and talented. The doubt for me is if he has that drive and desire that made Mane and Salah top players for example. The discipline. He may do of course.
Have to say he´d be an exciting signing though and with him and Munoz we´d have some threat on the flanks even if they may not be yet consistent.
IMO he has the same temperament as Ekitike so he should be ok.
Lol, just read this, after posting in the ‘who would you buy thread’ in relation to Slots tactics and how for me it affected Gravs performances last season.
Not another several months of why we shouldn’t buy Italians
Agreed, he has the tools but like you said does he have the desire to push the train and to fight for the cause.
He seems not up for the fight for his place at PSG, who are top of the pile form wise atm.
Nice to see Inter have some money then! We should not be giving Jones away to them.
They’ll have plenty to spend now the lad is off to Chelsea instead.
Haven’t they literally just signed that young Portuguese RB as well? Quenda?
It’s Chelsea… the only players they don’t stock up on is goalies.
Normally shirts with 4 numbers on the back are special versions to celebrate e.g. Champions 2025, for Chelsea it will just be their actual squad numbers
They’ve also got Reece James, Malo Gusto and Josh Acheampong. Alonso is no way in charge of transfers lol.
I thought he was a winger..? If it’s the one they made the deal for last summer, or January.
RB/RWB I read
Nah he’s mainly an attacking wide player.
They’re worryingly light on those, at least.
I was just reading a reddit post about him, a Chelsea fan asking Sporting supporters how good Quenda is.
The consensus response was “Lol you got robbed, thanks for the money”.
