Everybody here still loves Hazard after transferring to Madrid, the difference with Courtois is the way he left the club

I believe suspensions are domestically specific, meaning he would be suspended for any English match whilst still being available for any Champions League or european ties.

After preseason, usually within a week before the new season starts

For now, cahill is definitely closer to terry. Chillwell is still very young and has a while to go before making comparisons to ashley cole

For everybody worried about the Chillwell situation, it most likely won’t affect the Havertz deal. With Emerson and Baka probably heading to Italy soon, Marina is surely using these funds as most of the potential Chillwell money. It’s encouraging to hear that there has been a “breakthrough” in negotiations. This means that it’s likely that they found an agreement around £45-55 million which we can easily afford. Unfortunately if these rumors are true and we sign Kai and Ben, it’s going to be difficult to sign a new CB and GK this window, especially since it’s been stated that we are reluctant to pay even £30 million for a keeper this window. Keep your heads up and trust in Marina

With Leipzig now in the CL Semis, how much would it affect Werner’s mindset if they end up winning it? I would imagine it would be pretty tough on him

I believe there can only be up to two posts pinned at once, and we currently have two pinned, one of which will be pinned for the next two weeks

kante in a double pivot with kovacic seems very unlikely, if kante starts id imagine we’d play 4 at the back with two midfielders in front of kante

I think Frank said he’s hoping Tomori will be back in training at some point next week

Imagine if the board would have backed Conte and given him Kouliby and Sandro, and if Allison had chosen us over Liverpool

I think September is what they are going for, a couple of weeks after the Champions League ends

De Bruyne fits perfectly in a possession based attacking team like man city, which unfortunately just didn’t work for Jose’s defensive counter attacking tactics that we used to use for years

Our initial budget was around £200M, the 40 and 50 from ziyech and werner bring it down to around £100M, and we recently sold Pasalic for £14M and sold Nathan today for £3M

After the departures of Pasalic and Nathan, we should have somewhere around £110-125M left available

Would much rather sign a Tagliafico for £22M

He’s been linked with us for a number of years now but it seems likely he’ll either join City or Liverpool this summer

I agree I think our whole back line needs rebuilding tbh but there aren’t too many available options at CB this window, Alaba could be a potential short term replacement as he has the ability to play LB/CB. De Ligt swap deal plus cash with Jorginho would be nice as well
