  1. Alex scott is good at fm games but he is not a replacement for enzo at all in real life. Atleast van hecke would be a improvement to our defense i guess

  2. Thinking Alex Scott is enough to replace Enzo, I am beginning to despise this club. These people are clueless grifters getting by using bang average stats and “potential”

  3. I wanted Van Hecke after Colwill’s injury. He seemed like the perfect replacement. Having him and Colwill next season should give us a good LCB rotation, especially with Hato able to play there.

    Hopefully Van Hecke and JP’s

  4. Get Fernandez OUT. 100m nightmare turned out to be the most average player we’ve ever signed

    Alex Scott and Van Heckle is what they class as Experience? These lot haven’t played in champions league once in their career…

    Just shows where the ownership’s ambitions are if this what they consider experienced.

    BLUE CO OUT.

  6. Van Hecke would be a good signing, and immediately improves us. Plus has bags of experience, and should be available for a reasonable fee. Seems like a smart move.

    Alex Scott is brilliant, should’ve been in the last England squad. Looks like he’s finally starting to put the injuries behind him too. Could go on to be a top player.

    Less happy about the Enzo news. But, if someone offers crazy money, I could be convinced. He’s a top player, and one of our best. But he’s not irreplaceable.

    These are the players we’re interested in to fix the problems with our team? A mid tier CB from Brighton and some kid from Bournemouth with dodgy knees?

    Jfc man. Transfer rumours used to excite me. Now they just make me sad.

    Him or Lacroix are good with me we need reinforcements and I do like that we are targeting guys familiar with the prem here

    Schlotterbeck is my number one, but Van Hecke could work.

    On selling Enzo, I wonder why we aren’t first looking to sell Santos. We could sell him for real profit and there are definitely suitors out there. If we do sell Enzo, the dream is obviously Anderson, but I’m realizing we aren’t even in a position to try to get him.

    The idea here imo is that Colwill plus Van Hecke at the back covers enough of the ball progression we lose with Enzo. And Scott adds ball carrier that we lack with bonus defensive coverage.

  11. Van hecke is not good enough for Chelsea ffs and he and j pedo have beef – didn’t they physically fight when at Brighton?

  12. If Enzo leaves I really don’t think we should immediately drop the cash to replace him. I think Santos, Essugo, and Barco all deserve a spot. Not to mention the lingering chance that Lavia pulls together a healthy run of form. On top of this, Palmer has shown the ability to play as a part of the midfield three, which opens up a crucial wing position to fit in Quenda, who I think deserves minutes that don’t exist currently unless one or two wingers are sold, which besides Neto, I don’t see how a winger could be offloaded without taking a loss. I don’t think there is a player of Enzo’s quality who could join the squad whose price tag would not limit crucial improvement in other areas, such as center back.

  13. Van Hecke is a good player, defensively and on the ball, but he is quite slow, which can become a real problem with roseniors tactics since our cbs have to cover acres of space and be comfortable 1v1 against wingers when they have to cover out wide for our fbs who step up. Its the same reason why I wouldnt like signing Senesi anymore, even though i rate him pretty highly.

    Scott is also a really good player, pretty good in everything already and still quite young. The meta is trending towards players like him, but personally i would prefer someone taller because we need height. In Hindsight O’Reilly would have been incredible to get, unlucky we couldnt get him.

    Steinberg flying a kite that is old and tattered by now because so many other journos were there first.

    He hasn’t been relevant for Chelsea since he showed his true colours, the massive fucking twat.

  15. I suspect if we sell Enzo we use a combination use Moi with Lavia/Santos more and Palmer as the 10. I love Enzo, but that actually works out pretty well. We’d just want a decent backup for Cole then.
