Could be a hint that Mina is off?

The Coady rumours don't make sense unless we have solid offers on the table for Keane and Mina. We don't need six CBs who are all on big wages, it would simply stop us bringing in sufficient reinforcements elsewhere like CM and CF.

If Coady is genuinely a target then it's more evidence of Lampard's plan to play a 3 CB structure most weeks - if that's the plan then Keane is surplus to squad requirements because he goes completely to pieces in a back 3 or back 5.

If we're bringing ANY more CBs in then simply from a payroll perspective someone's got to leave. Our wage to income ratio is better now than it was before Tosun, Delph and Sigurdsson left but if we just keep adding to the squad then we recreate the same problem - too many highly-paid players not actually playing much.

Having said all that, if we really do have offers for Mina and Keane then I'd prefer to see a better new CB than Coady. Someone a bit younger and capable of playing in more than just one system. Evan Ndicka or Duje Caleta-Car, someone like that. I see Ajax have nabbed Calvin Bassey for around £20m...
 
I don't usually moan tbh but to go into the new season first match without a striker is deplorable
Whilst I’m happy at the rumoured pursuit of a midfielder, I have to agree with this. I really hope the club are working frantically behind the scenes to sort out a goal scorer.
It’s negligent that we’re heading into the season without one.
