Can’t be far off if Duran and Buendia leave.

If we're taking expensive attackers from Chelsea's bench then Nkunku would fit our system much better than Felix I reckon.
totally agree with that, Dave.

We'd need to replace Duran though. Felix isn't a number 9 .

The way we seem to be moving our chess pieces round in this window it can’t be long before some of the other clubs start frothing at the mouth wanting to know what we are up too :-)

Think we need to play our part whilst any changes bed in….can you imagine the flame throwing on here and social media if a centre back comes on and has a nightmare first up like the Manchester City new signing.

We also need Unai to do a bit as well…if we end up with 3/4/5 youngsters on the bench he needs to be prepared to give them their head and not just for to the well with the same players every game.

Chelsea supporter view suggests Disasi is another Carlos. Last ditch merchant and poor on ball. Chelsea is a tough place to succeed so maybe he can calm down with us. I can't recall much of him against us.

Disasi and Foyth were hardly anywhere near the top of our prospective RCB options for last 6-12 months.

Chelsea supporters would say Paolo Maldini wasn't good enough for them. Never listen to Chelsea supporters.

I've one in my family, then again you could be right 👍

If it’s all consensual then fair enough, but I think I’d draw the line at making that mandatory.

Does the football knowledge run in the family? If so, ignore them, they haven’t a clue.

Aston Villa are set to recall Colombian defender Yeimar Mosquera from his loan at Real Union. 19yo is regarded as one for the future, having had relatively little first-team experience & is currently away with Colombia's U20s. Story

Arsenal made a call in recent weeks to understand the situation of Jhon Durán — no offer was made.

I know it hurts but eventually the pain will subside and Diego Carlos and his bucket of stats will eventually be in your rear view 👍

It's a pity they belatedly realised Madueke was a top player.

A 19 year old Colombian, what could possibly go wrong!?

In all seriousness though, is that saying he's had no first team experience with Real Union? So we're recalling him because the loan isn't in his best interests? Or are we recalling him in a panic at our lack of defensive opinions.
