It would be , your NOT wrong.
But I think we need strengthening in other positions more urgently,positions where we need urgent upgrading.
RWB is a total must in the system we play, Emerson has improved,but not good enough.
Centre of defence is still in need of upgrading imo, LWb also can be addressed, Sess has improved but not really good enough imo.

I would take Zaha all day if we were going to address the other positions too, but that is highly UNLIKELY,
So I would stick with the forwards we've got and strengthen the above mentioned.

Hey it's my personal opinion,yours ain't wrong btw.
We aren’t going to sign more wing backs. Conte is happy with what we have. Debating further additions in those areas is pointless.

which RWB is available now?
That's why we pay Paratici all those wages.
We are a major attraction ATM.
Conte
CL
London
Great squad.
Everything about us ATM
Surely he can find someone better than Doherty and Emerson on the planet...south America, Europe,Africa ffs.
Even on loan.

It’s not about who we can find, it’s about Conte’s view. He is happy with our options at WB

I get that
But this forum is about our views.
I think we need upgrading in that department
I truly believe if we did,we could be a real force and even challenge for the title.
Decent WB,s in a 3-4-3 are vital.
I know it isn't easy, but surely doable.

And Udogie for next season.

Perisic is one of the World’s best in his position. Sess is developing and is getting goals and assists. Doherty was excellent for Wolves at RWB and has looked great there for us. Spence is clearly a huge talent in the RWB role. I don’t rate Royal at all tbh but Conte does so further debate on this is ridiculous

Back to the Zaha debate. I think he possess a lot of the attributes that Conte is looking for from Zaniolo

Did Conte actually come out and say he's happy with the RWB?
I haven't seen that anywhere.
Making do is different to being happy.
Maybe he is compromising.

We can't possibly be sure not.

I think he will be a top player
But I don't think we should waste a season waiting for Conte to trust him.
Get one in now that will play right away.
for this to happen we need to shift Emerson and Doherty in the next 2 days. The chance of this to happen is lower than COVID disappears from the world tomorrow

Why both?
If they are good enough for us, why can't we shift them.....
Cos they are both not good enough?
Get one in on loan and solve the problems this season until Spence is ready.
Surely there is a player out there ffs.

It’s interesting that Chelsea are concerned about the financials for Aubameyang considering the money dropped on Koulibaly who is a similar age. Plus their seeming interest in dropping £60m+ on Gordon!
Perhaps TB has actually realised that he fucked up by not negotiating Koulibaly down, now that every player he is going for the selling club are adding 25% to the fee. He's come in with no real strategy and instead just tried to throw his financial weight around, and it's now coming back to bite him in the arse.

Some on here may play it down and even deny its existence but FFP is real, and does have consequences.

Conte is known for being very vocal when he’s not happy.
To expect him to come out and state for every position whether he is happy or not is crazy.
It seems to be all guesswork based on your dislike of our rwb options.

Is this one we are hoping for? Because i don't see any credible links in the media as yet and ITK's haven't said much about this move. I'd like it to happen but my gut says him heading to Chelsea is much more realistic at this stage.

Honestly I'd love Zaha.

But I can see it being Traore with Doherty heading back to Wolves.

WTF? You've got to be kidding me.

Unfortunately I think at this point, that’s the level we’re talking about for anyone else who comes in. 3 days left in the window, we’re not getting in a stud where there haven’t been any links so far.

not quite sure why we’d prefer James to Gil. Hopefully it’s just noise.
