No questioning his ability, but I'd be concerned about whether he can play to the intensity that we require, even though there will be 5 subs allowed per game from next season, and even if he were a squad member and we were managing his minutes.

Sure he used to have most distance covered in Europe while at Ajax. Things have changed since then of course.

2017 Christian Eriksen has the highest average distance travelled per match in Premier League this season (11.97km), Gylfi Sigurdsson has run the most distance in total (422.36km)

Cops on the sidelines, great motivator.

Who was sigurdsson running from is the key question? 

[The Midnight Rambler]

We ain’t spending 80m on Nunez, when we spent half that on the best player in that league in 4 months ago.

Where? City or Real?

Every time I see some transfer nonce post those eye emojis I want to jab my fingers into them.

Are you Mourinho in disguise?

[Harry Squatter]

 

 

He's been voted Scotland's Young player of the year this week too.

[Harry Squatter]

Paul Joyce also confirms we are interested in signing Tchouameni. 

 

There's a video on Twatter of him watching our game last night. 

[clockspeed]

Look don't care who we get but just remember we have Luis  Diaz here while we missed out on Pepe. Yeah remember him .

Romano is a little fucking creep like.

The wording of Joyce on the interest of Tchouameni is interesting. I don't think we'll get him. There will be a race for his services, bidding war, etc... There's big interest from elsewhere. It will at least be very difficult.

 

The interesting part is he says we want like a powerful midfielder, more physical qualities. Tchouameni is the best player with those qualities, so he's the top target.

 

I think it's a little counter to what we're doing this season. The number 8's are more attacking than they were. We're more offensive and play higher up the pitch than we did from 2018-2020. The profile Joyce is describing fits more what we did before, assuming Tchouameni or whoever is playing number 8. So it looks from those words like we want to add versatility to our style. Have different qualities, play different ways depending on the opponent. Being able to win every which way against anybody.

[TheHowieLama]

Tchouameni is talking about the City/Madrid game there anyway.

[JagSquared]

Be interesting to see where these lot end up. Looking at the list there isn’t much that improves us.

There's another video of him from last night watching our game on his laptop.

Dembele and Dybala would be interesting, Eriksen if his health is ok and Onana so we can sing ' Onana, what's your name ?'

[TD_LFC]

Only one I'd be interested in on that list is Boubacar Kamara as a depth/developmental player.

 

Everyone else either has a better player in front of them (Mazraoui), have already signed for someone else (Kessie) or is destined for elsewhere (Mbappe).

 

 

[Funkasy]

We could sign Pogba as a water boy and as a half time entertainer when we are leading games and Klopp only needs a short team talk.

[3 Stacks]

Kamara would be a decent alternative to Tchouameni. He is getting better every year and the way he has been used by Sampaoli this season is very interesting. He has played a midfield role with lots of right back responsibilities mixed in, along with playing as a #6. Has shown a lot of tactical versatility. Would still need to get better to reach our level, but he is good. 

 

Atletico are favourites to sign him, I think.

Or perhaps play a double pivot or just to have a quality replacement for Fabinho

[TD_LFC]

I think you can play him in the double pivot, as an 8 and a 6 and that versatility (coupled with the potential to be the long term successor to Fabinho) could make him a great signing.
