Aurelian Tchouameni

F Scott McLaughlin and his staff who ignored Petr Cech’s recommendation to sign Tchouameni and preferred to take Saul on loan. Chelsea needs to clean house in their scouting department and hire a proper sporting director. Way too many transfer mistakes over the last 5 years, including Kepa, Lukaku, Werner, Guehi, Abraham, etc.

Petr cech would be an excellent sporting director. He speaks like 5 languages too which will be advantageous in negotiations and attracting players.

It was actually Fabregas that recommended him to the club 2 seasons ago while playing alongside him at Monaco

I agree. One of the things Liverpool has done brilliantly is to to make a great team within a limited budget. Salah, Mane, Robertson were excellent additions at fair value.

We have wasted a lot of money or at least not done quite well enough with it.

we really should have gone with Tchouameni and Kounde last season. Kounde was obvious and to be fair we tried. Tchouameni was far from as clear cut then but what was obvious was that Kante, Jorginho and Kova were unlikely to make it through the season and we needed midfield refreshments. And not guys that struggle to make the Norwich starting 11 but world class midfielders

 
I would much rather slot in Gallagher for free and spend the £83M on Nkunku for £55M and Gvardioli at center-back for £30M.

Kante is a DM...he's The DM. Plus it's time to get younger in that area. Both Kante and Jorginho are 30 plus with one year left on their contracts. I wouldn't re-sign both and out of the two, I'd take Kante.

 
He is when he plays for France. Also, if you play him in a more limited DM role instead of the 8 we might save his legs some so he doesn't miss half the season.

No, he isn't. When he ventures forward (which is his game) to win the ball there was always Pogba and Matuidi or Rabiot to cover the space he left behind.

When we won the league, he was our 6. When Leicester won the league, he was their 6. When France won the world cup, ahhh now you're getting it. He only started venturing forward under Lampard. A 6 who presses high up the pitch. But we can agree to disagree on his best position.

What am I getting exactly?

When we won the league, Matic was the sitter. 

When Leicester won the league, Drinkwater was the sitter. 

He's an advanced ball winner. He only started looking out of his element under more progressive managers that asked him to do more with the ball.

I'd argue that Drinkwater played more advanced in the Leicester team but both teams essentially played a double pivot but this conversation isn't going anywhere.

 
Tchouameni is well worth the money, but we won’t get him I don’t think.
