I really don’t want to lose Dougie, but it looks like he’s going anyway (bit rude of the club not to ask my opinion tbh, but there we go).
 

I’m not hugely excited by the way the transfer window appears to be starting out, so I’m going to view it from a distance and just wait to see where we’re at when all business is done. I back Emery and Monchi to keep improving us, and I’m not going to stress myself out imagining the worst. There’s plenty of time and clubs never sign players in order of importance, it just doesn’t work like that. 

I am going to view it from close by and stress myself out

Isn’t Tomori very similar to Konsa? We are after a bruiser centre half. I can’t see that one happening at all.

Are we though? As fans we probably want that as we concede at set plays, but I’m not convinced Unai is that bothered about it. I think he focuses on what a cb can bring to our patterns of play attacking wise more. Tomori is similar to Konsa, comfortable enough on the ball and quick. We could play him at cb/rb similar to how we use Konsa, could also play both.

Imagine doing the supermarket shop like that. You be all over the place, like some crazed John Mcginn. I’d rather do the casual zigzag ticking off the shopping list as I come by them

If it’s not Gallagher then my money would be on Chalobah and/or Maatsen. Chelsea aren’t out of the woods on PSR and their most saleable assets are the ones that have come through their academy. I genuinely have no idea how good Chalobah is but Maatsen would be a fantastic pick up and would start for us at left back I feel.

If Moreno is off or wants to leave Maatsen makes complete sense

One from Maatsen, Datro Fofana, Lavia or Ugochukwu please

Only one of those I'd want is Maatsen. 

[Made In Aston]

If we sell Duran then I'm all for us going for Tammy if he is available for 20m or less. Jonathan David would be another, but depends on his release clause and wage demands.

Isn't Iling the replacement?

Chalobah is a good passing centre back, not magnificent but top half quality

It needs to be a exciting transfer window for us is all I can say. We are in the frickin CL for gods sake. We don't wanna end up with a weakened squad.

He’s more of a winger/wing back hybrid so he could easily play in front of Digne or in a 5 man defence depending on the game 

[Demitri_C]

Wouldnt say no chaloboh he looks a real prospect.  As long as its not james. Top player but always injured

Even Tanswell said today on the 1874 podcast Iling-Jr is being brought in for the left winger role as a squad player.

[Steero113]

Won’t be Maatsen unless both Digne and Moreno are off. Would love Lavia.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this Chelsea player involved in the Duran deal is Reece James, especially if the Cash to Milan deal is true. Makes sense and he’s a very talented defender but his injury record is concerning. Otherwise, can only think of Chalobah or Jackson possibly?

I would have liked Gallagher but it’s looking more and more unlikely.

Reece James would be a crazy move. He’s the most injury prone player I can remember in recent times.

If buying players was as simple as buying a Mars bar, not hugely complex transactions contingent on a whole host of factors then sure, we could just do things in some arbitrary order.

Exciting scares me. I want boring.

 

[Supervillan78]

Given we’ve already got Ramsey, Buendia and Roger’s I can’t see Illing Jr on the wing.
Wingback sure, as part of a back five. Makes more sense to me to utilise him left back especially if Moreno and/or Digne leave.
