    Yes, I agree, although I would probably keep both Dele and Bale if I could. Both could at the very least be the understudy for the running CM I would be looking for, although ideally both would be employed further forward. It's just that I think we won't be able to sell all those players. Foyth...

    Ok, so that's three at the back in your view, Toby and Rodon + 70m? With attacking wingbacks and a three-man core in midfield. That makes sense. But I think who/what we can get depends on who we can sell. If we could sell Tanguy for around 50m, I would use all that money to buy the play/assist...

    Exactly. Leave the fullbacks for now (Reguilon will come good, Sess will be good cover, and let's hope Tanganga can play more games), it's 2 CBs and 1 CM that we need. The CBs need to be good defenders (duh) of the Dawson/Vertonghen type. The CM has to be a classic box-to-box CM, because we've...

    Yes, and if the two in DM are beastly (Dembele/Wanyama-like) while at least one of the three is willing to run to cover some of the gaps and shield the two - like Eriksen and Dele did. We may have the fullbacks (Reguilon and Tanganga/Doherty), but our CM/DM-options are not particularly beastly...

    The problem with that tweet, of course, is that Gold also doesn't know. If we were to take his info at face value, and I agree with Adam B's exegesis here, my best guess would be Conte. I'm not sure if that would be a good outcome to be perfectly honest, but he (Conte) would be in a position to...

    Next Manager?

    I am more and more inclined to believe it is someone from abroad. Levy is sensitive to big names, and it could be argued that we need one now more than ever to confirm that we are (still?) a Big Club.

    Judging from his comments in the Dutch press - which are very similar to those of Rodgers if not more categorical - it's not Ten Hag. If Gold is correct, and the designated man has a 'current club', that narrows down the list (no Martinez, no Flick). If it's likely to cost a lot, it's unlikely...

    The Fight to Qualify for the European Conference League 2020/21

    They've already decided on it: https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/0268-12157d69ce2d-9f011c70f6fa-1000--new-champions-league-format-explained/ But P. D. is right. You have to qualify at least for ECL to 'earn' one of the two coefficient spots. If this scenario would have been in place...

    The Fight to Qualify for the European Conference League 2020/21

    It's going to add another schizophrenic dimension to the latter stages of the season: today, Arse v. Brighton for some time appeared more important than our own game at Leicester - I was convinced we were going to lose anyway. But come April 2024, we will be rooting for, say, Roma to beat...

    The Fight to Qualify for the European Conference League 2020/21

    If the same rules would apply this year, Arsenal and Roma would get into the CL, regardless of where they finished in PL/Serie A, unless Juve miss out on 4th place (then Roma would not 'qualify'). We are currently the third/fourth team in the coefficient-list not to qualify for the CL. So we...

    20/21 Player Ratings and Thoughts

    Difficult. I'd say: Lloris 7,5 (keep) Doherty 4 (rid) Reguilon 6,5 (keep) Alderweireld 6 (keep) Hojbjerg 7 (keep) Sanchez 4 (rid) Son 7,5 (keep) Winks 5,5 (not sure) Bale 6 (keep) Kane 9,5 (keep) Lamela 7 (rid) Hart 6 (rid) Rodon 7 (keep) Dier 5,5 (keep) Sissoko 5,5 (rid) Lo Celso 6 (keep) Alli...

    The Fight to Qualify for the European Conference League 2020/21

    So into the Conference League it is. Well... In the long run this may well be important, because from 2024 the two clubs who are not in the CL on merit, through league, cups or EL, but with the highest coefficient in European games will get the final spots for the CL. We are now 15th in that...

    The Hurt

    So sad to think about all the hope and anticipation Harry has provided, against Chelsea on New Year's Day in 2015 when it could no longer be disputed that he was the real thing. Kicking the ball in the stands away at United, screaming to himself to 'never give up' after scoring a last minute...

    Haven't been this downbeat since Poch got sacked. I so hope he stays, but on today's showing that appears so unrealistic.

    Transfer rumours - summer 2021 edition

    True, Son does not belong in that list, but I don't think either PEH or Reggie will have Son's impact. Still, the point remains. It's a difficult league to adapt to - and this puts question marks over the expectations regarding, say, Sabitzer. But the really good ones do so quickly, and the fact...

    Transfer rumours - summer 2021 edition

    Yes, I too have high hopes for Reguilon in particular. But maybe I should have been clearer: what I meant is a player who is an essential part of the team in his first season at the club. We have had quite a few under Levy: Lloris certainly, albeit after an early stutter with Friedel still in...
