Speculation The hysterical and annoying, but traditional, totally unfounded summer 2023 rumours thread - it's started already!

We've been closing in on this for, what, 4 weeks now?

Could it be forever?

BBC Sport now offer an explanation as to why there is a delay. It is said that a move has been "agreed in principle" with Chelsea, but the Blues have been putting all their concentration on completing a deal for Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo which put the Casadei talks "on hold".

A deal that will see Caicedo join Chelsea has now been agreed, with the midfielder closing in on a move to Stamford Bridge. That means that Chelsea can now turn their attention back to finalising the Casadei deal with City.

If all goes to plan, the 20-year-old should be available to make his City debut for Saturday’s home clash against Cardiff City. Maresca’s men will be looking to make it four wins out of four under the new manager.

If he plays in that number 8 role he could be devastating.

He would seem to be an obvious fit for a position of need.

I don't think we are anything special as a team but at the same time I don't think we are too far off having a team that could absolutely piss the league.

 

[camberwell fox]

To be fair and judging by the games so far, if we can be reasonably tight in defence, we have enough fire power up the other end to put score most teams.

A few additions to plug the gaps and we would be very difficult to outscore.

I wonder if he sits in the slot next to Winks and Ricardo moves up to our vacant RW spot.
I don't know if that quite is Enzoball, but from what I've seen of Casadei he's usually not just behind the striker.

He may have enough quality to be put anywhere on the pitch and improve us though. Feels like a brilliant signing regardless

You simply don’t get punished in this league like you do in the Prem. As long as we keep scoring and don’t get loads of injuries we’ll piss the league.

I think he'll be behind the striker. He scored 7 in 7 in that position in the recent U20 World Cup.

Which really shows the quality of the league. We've lost most of our assist/goalscorers/creative players, but are still scoring goals and making chances.

He can ghost in, swivel and direct the play but I’ve hear he’s rather go to Chesterfield.

 

[Graz]

Don't know anything about him, but happy to see we're still in the market for another attacking mid even after Casadei

We should table a proper bid.
