Long-term and short-term thinking

Huth was ever present
Schwartzer was on every squad as sub
They knew how to win

Was Huth really a first choice CB at Chelsea? Had him down as a back up/reserve - ill give you him then if so but not a keeper who got splinters all season - might as well go balls deep for Begovic if that's all that's required to make that final step...

No I meant first choice at Leicester and sub at Chelsea (Huth)

He was in the squad every game so knows what’s needed (Schwarzer)
Don’t matter if you play if you can explain to the team what to do

Yet our players who played week in week out for title winning sides don't count because it wasn't in a 'big' league.

Johnny Evans and Begovic in in the summer and we'd see an upturn in mentality as a result?

Who in our team are you referring too?

None that I’m aware of have won one of the big leagues, the ones with real pressure

Vertonghen Alderwiereld Eriksen Sanches Aurier Llorente, off the top of my head - all played as first choice players in sides which won league titles so know what it takes to do so...


Evans and Begovic then mate... What say you? - the missing pieces to the jigsaw...

Happy with Evans to replace Toby if he leaves

Brings league experience from a winning side under a great manager

Don’t need begivic as far as I’m aware as we have two better keepers
 
If Evans is available for £3m, then I'd sign him regardless of Alderweireld's position. If TA goes, then I'd spend the £50m we get for him on a like for like replacement

To me, Dier is a CM not a CB so Evans would mean we have 4 senior CBs plus Foyth. We've been pretty lucky with injuries/suspensions at CB in the last couple years and adding an experienced player who has won things, for a nominal fee, looks like a great opportunity
 
My first buy would be Rashford!

Someone like Rashford, Mane, Salah, Gabriel Jesus etc is the type of player we need - pacey and could play as a CF, off a CF, out wide etc.

Obviously none of those are get-able - we need to find the next one
 
14 games, 7 goals and 6 assists, Coutinho wasn't "gone" at all he was still there and playing well.
Fair call but the spent his sale money in advance as their investment
But of course thais players weren’t there at the beginning of the season

Mourinho doesn’t play or seem to rate him........
