I like Mazraoui. Think I’ve mentioned him before on this forum as one to look at. He would be a good alternative to Chambers out right.

Have never seen any of them play, but I'd like whoever we buy to be too good to be considered an alternative to Chambers. We utilize Tierney so much when he's playing, a right-sided version would give us more variety.

He’s better than Chambers. Would give you the attacking threat. Can attack inside and out.
I have actually just grown fond of Chambers. I like that he grafts, has size and delivers a good cross. So I actually see him getting significant minutes out right. Potentially as much as 15 starts in a new guy’s first season

The worry about Mazaraoui is defensively. He is really quite bad at it. Positioning everywhere.

crock who can't defend. sounds about right. although maybe the great michael arteta can train him up. can't magically make him fit though. a crock is a crock is a crock.

Mazraoui is an interesting idea, more in line with where we are at as a club than Hakimi, I suppose. That they have the same national affiliation feels a bit like being linked to Gotze and getting Eisfeld, though Mazraoui is obviously a much more accomplished player who may actually play for us.

Feels like everyone is making transfers left and right and we're standing still. Doesn't the window usually have to actually open before it starts to feel that way?

looks at stock portfolio

damn all that and it's just lunch time. shit, if kroenke wants some money to buy players i'm here.

Lol. You don’t even own Spotify and you’re on here bragging...

obviously you're right, it was irrational exuberance. minor money in the grand scheme of things.

Usually see a bit of this early stuff in a year with an international tourny, it'll all go dead quiet then for a month. That's when our fan base will really start freaking out.

How much have others really done anyway? Liverpool have signed Kanoute but that’s been sorted for a while by all accounts.

There’s Leicester and Soumare.
Real Madrid and Barca seem to be moving along with veteran affairs as well.

Even Soumare hasn’t been done even if it is a matter of time.

It’s still very very early.

It is agreed. Just needs registration

It was Spurs who signed him and that was a good 20 years ago. Getting embarrassing now mate
