I posted this a while back. Things have changed since.
Defense:
Kiko (rb), Bailly (cb), Albiol (cb) all left. I had assumed atleast one or even 2 of them might stay. Meanwhile Logan Costa has a long term injury now.
Now long term target Rafa Marin has been bought in on loan but who knows what his level will be after not playing for a year.
-
Zeze was being targeted at cb but he's gone to Saudi. Would've loved to see this move.
-
Theres talks of Dissasi being signed/ loaned but Chelsea are tough negotiators.
-
Loic Bade rumor strikes me as untrue. Also quite expensive.
-
Djiku and Toloi look like they might be options, if wither of those happen I will be disgusted.
-
Noone being tracked at rb at all?? Molina has been mentioned but not very serious runors.
-
There's an 8m buyback on Ratiu. Amazing right back, I wish they just go for him atleast. THE TEAM HASBNO RIGHT BACKS. If you play Foyth as rb you have no cb. Navaro is a decent backup rb from the academy.
Midfield:
- Lost Baena, bound to happen.
- Signed Moleiro, expected that too. Love him.
- Buchanan is a waste of money.
- Thiago Fernandez is expected to join in the winter (when the Argentine league ends), highly rated Argentinean attacking mid.
Attack:
- Lost Barry for very little money. Bad move.
- Targeted Franjo Ivanovich and he goes to Portugal.
- Looking at Matias Fernandez of Lille but they lost Jonathon David and are looking to sell Zhergova so won't wanna sell him.
- Kalimuendo is another player being looked at. I like him and hope it happens.
Overall:
Some weak depth imo. Honestly still need like 5 more signings, 3 in defense and 2 in attack. Its still possible a player or two leaves anyways.
Need to get down to business.
