What's new

Alex Sandro

That's gutting. For a week or so I thought we had him wrapped up. Never mind

 
His silence said it all for me...another chancer using Chelsea as a means to add more money to their trough...get your nose in Sandro and pork away...

They're trying to find 3 other fullbacks besides Kyle Walker and Walker should cost them 50m. No way they'd spend around 200m for 4 fullbacks

Looks like they are about to spend 90+ on two of the four now... You so sure about that?

I was wrong. I assumed they had better sense than throwing money at people.

They should've invested all that money on a proper scouting team

£90m on two fullbacks who both have question marks about them, and this is the model we should apparently be following.

What would you want?

Options of walker and danilo for rwb/rb or just Moses who is not even a true wing back?

i know what I would like.

anyways, time to go even further down the list of desired targets.

Personally i would prefer an attack minded left wing back as i think we are more than covered on the right, furthermore if we have a LWB of that mould we could probably get away with playing Azpi at wing back which in turn will open up a space for Rudiger and Christensen.

 
We are being beaten to another target and that's an issue we have faced for too long now.

 
if reports are true, man city offered him more money and he took it. I don't think he was a game changer for us, disappointing to lose him to city, but it says alot about what kind of person he is, if he prefers to play less games on more money at city. I don't think the difference between what we offered, would have been massively lower than city's offer. 

On to the next one. 

 
Yeah, his loss. Could have been a regular starter for the champions. Clearly money was more important than game time

With Sandro out of the picture, realistically do you see any of this happening?

Also currently we have 5 CBs with Azpi and Rudiger, one RWB and one LWB. 7 players for 5 positions. Just not good enough or deep enough.

Whats worse is the fact that we can offer the same amount of money as well as a first team position and yet not get the desired player.

Quite frankly on this occasion im happy we were gazumped for whatever reason it is. If we sign a new LWB i think we are well covered, 5 CB's and 3 WB's with two of the CB's capable of playing wing back and 1 of the wingback's capable of playing CB is enough cover given our fantastic medical department. Any more would lead to someone, likely Andreas, being "De Bruyned" and i don't think any of us want that.

Who? Well im hoping we pull the rabbit out of the hat with Sandro still (Luiz mark 1 circa 2011 looked dead yet came alive deadline day) but if not, at worse back up/competition for Alonso but there is surely a top class wing back somewhere not many of us have heard off (i didn't know Azpi from Adam until the links began).

I do still think there is something in this Sandro rumour. Matic has been left out of the squad for pre season, he's definitely off somewhere. The fact that he is still here makes me wonder if we are going to include him in a deal to sign somebody, that somebody could be Sandro.

If we can't get Sandro I'd be tempted to go to Utd and say he's yours in return for Shaw or Martial.
