We’ve got a good environment at the club, where the unwanted players can come and get regular game time (more than what they can if they stay at their clubs), not only that. But, we’ve proven to make the players that comfortable they will sign provided they perform.
I really didn’t think Zouma was possible. Felt he wouldn’t want to move to us regardless, but he seems possible - It’s the Chelsea management that hold all the cards over this one.
A first teamer at the so called big clubs last season can very quickly become back up. I’ll be certainly keeping an eye on transfers at Barça and other clubs more now - particularly areas that we need strengthening.
Malcolm won’t stand a chance if they invest in Neymar or Griezmann. Unsure of other clubs squad structures, but one transfer at these clubs can spike interest in Silva and Brands.
Good post.
The transfer window is a very intricate game where there are knock on effects from every transfer. The ones who play it best look for opportunities that come up that weren’t there initially and have their ears to the ground so they can pick up where these opportunities arise.
There are teams who will need to sell to adhere to ffp and there are players who will think they’re coming into preseason with a fresh chance to make an impression and then find out new signings will make that even more difficult.
Thankfully Brands seems to be very good at what he does which is why I find myself chuckling away at people panicking because we haven’t signed 5 or 6 players yet.
