Today’s Football 2020/21 Season

[Bohemian Toffee]

There is a crazy scenario where 4th can miss out on CL, I think arsenal have to win the EL

That's not the full scenario, UEFA will allow a maximum of five English teams in the CL.

So, you would need Arsenal to win the EL, outside of top five in prem for CL qualification. Then Chelsea to win the CL, outside of top five in prem for CL qualification, then 4th place would get EL.

Not sure he was under any pressure was he?

Hes got them flying.

Frank played the best mate card.That's were he failed.

I would laugh my way to the bank if either offered £80+ million for DCL.

Take the money and run run run.

Who would you have instead of him mate?

Outside the top 4

Only if a side outside the top four eg Chelsea, and Arsenal win Europa league I think

Ings/Belotti both only got 12 months on their deals and available on the cheap.

Tammy Abraham another apparently available who would make a good back up to either of the above.

Would rather keep DCL but like Richarlison he isnt a £80+ million player and would be daft if we ever turned down such amounts considering it would FFP wise allow us to splurge a big wad on rebuilding the squad.

Don’t forget Maupay at Brighton mate.

 

[StreetEndBlue]

Made up to see City's quadruple bid go up in smoke. Can't stand them.

Respect your opinion mate, but if these players were/are better than DCL, would City/Chelsea be better going for them instead of spending £80m on him?

 

[Nymzee]

Let’s see what this new Barcelona are all about then.

It's possible but they play very defensive so it won't take much for them to just drop points for no reason. City go into the 90s and it'll be tough for them without scoring more.

 

[DanEFC92]

Deary me. Fabianski had a mare today. Only just seen the goals.

Never happens for us does it

True mate although I think Lukaku has been the only near irreplaceable player we have lost since Rooney.

I wouldnt put either of Richarlison or DCL in that category they would fall more in the Fellaini/Arteta/Lescott category very good player but not borderline world class.

I actually think DCL benefited greatly from teams not yet working him/us out at the start of the season but his whole "great inside 6 yards of the goal" has become well known since and teams are now starting to mark him much more in the box pushing him further out.

Think him and Richarlison are both 15 goal a season forwards neither are 20+ regular finishers which is what £80+ million should get you in the market.
