Yeah, just as an expense in general. Having money tied up in 6 centre backs currently is extraordinary. Silva leaving makes it 5, which is somewhat acceptable with Fofana's issues, but then adding another to take it back to 6 would be strange, but it is Chelsea and Boehly, so anything is possible.

You know some athletes actually prioritise playing time on the pitch and a more quiet life off the pitch. Even saw a clip where Rio of all people said part of the reason he went to Leeds was to get away from London, and all the distractions and people he grew up around.

If the decision is about not having to move house that would be ridiculous. The initial reports stated he was leaning towards Newcastle because of the more clearly defined role in the team and working with Howe. That makes a lot more sense to me.

They're both still on the books though, so it would be mental. Especially as they still have another 4 centre backs outside of those two still. They don't seem to have a plan. If you join them you probably then get someone bought in ahead of you in a year again. Madness. Be very surprised if he goes to Chelsea.

There'll still be a bunch of stuff that comes out giving a bit more detail on his credentials etc, which would be cool.

Fofana, Disasi, Silva, Badiadshile, Colwill and Chalobah ... Chelsea are such a crazy club man, really weird, if they're really looking at Tosin too.

Like how this is progressing so quickly. Would be fantastic nabbing someone Man Utd were after too. Good stuff.

This is a terrible look from Moyes man. He spent a decent amount off the back of the Rice sale, and has got some decent players at the club. So you can't manage the club effectively without Declan Rice?! Ridiculous.

Fair point. Haven't been impressed with his drop off this season at all, so maybe tainting my view of him further.

The state of these two teams man.

Similar to this season, started well then faded second half of the season. They took a lot of losses around March/April time and he wasn't good. Pretty sure I remember it being discussed at the time.

Was very poor second half of last season while they were struggling. As the key man, doesn't seem to be able to step up when the going gets tough.

Wasn't sure about Gakpo initially, but he's growing on me. Not as dynamic and exciting as Diaz, but seems to be more clinical in a way. Great header.

So Maddison has really been flat out dropped from this Spurs team? That is pretty damning. A lot of fuss was made about us not signing him at the time, but here he is once again letting his team down in key moments. Going to ultimately cost Spurs the top 4, just like he let Leicester down last season, and cost them their Premier League place.

Damn.
