Imagine signing 3 bang average players for 200m. No way we're going to do that...

Well I would prefer we spend it on 3 players who can be key players for our long term future too, rather than more Bakas and Batmans.

I am guessing you dont rate Hernadez, Kounde and Tchouameni then? Who would you suggest?

No one put a gun to his head and make him sign. He happily took the money. 

Would he have been a top signing? Yes for sure. The club backed TT with Lukaku, Saul though has become clearly a club signing and now we need to back TT or he will be gone before the season is out.

City would have had no issue spending 250 mill on Kane and Grealish had Spurs said yes. 

Now we need to back TT with big cash.

Theo Hernandez for 60mill

Jules Kounde for 80mill

New right back

Tchouameni for 60mill.

We are set to lose Dave, AC and Toni. We need to rebuild and if we want to remain at the top we need to do it with top quality and not cheap out with Drinkwaters, Bakas and Batmans.

I would have Lamptey as that new right back. 

Its become pretty clear the club didnt do enough in the summer. I think TT just needs to keep his cool, and a top 3 finish, with no civil war, should be enough to see him get another summer window.

If we need reinforcements at those three positions, then I would suggest this. But I'm not sure whether we need a midfielder.

LB - Emerson

CB - Pau Torres / Bastoni / Lacroix

DM - Rice

We cannot recall Emerson though. I would be very happy with Rice and Torres.

 
Such a shame we couldn’t keep livramento, he’d be getting plenty of game time

I assume Livramento was close to the end of his contract? If I remember correctly we offered him a new deal but he rejected it in favour of a move to Saints for regular first team football. You could say the same for Lamptey. Either would have been great right now.

 
Interesting that our record this season when James starts isn't actually that great ...

When he has started :

Played 19 Won 8 Drawn 9 Lost 2 For 38 Against 17

When he hasn't started :

Played 11 Won 9 Drawn 1 Lost 1 For 23 Against 4

I was very surprised that this was the case, but perhaps we won't miss him over the next 2 months as much as we think ?

We have only played 20 matches in the league this season so does that include stats from last season or cup matches and European matches?

Previously we have not missed him as much when we have had Chilwell playing, to have both injured is a blow.

It is all matches, including cup appearances and CL.

Been rumours he’s back outside training on his own which is good. A few weeks maybe before starting to build up match fitness?

TT confirmed he is doing outside individual training.

Chilwell is back doing light gym work.
