    Summer mercato thread 2025-26

    Good luck at the championship. But it's a shame you won’t be active in this thread because we really count on the info you provide. And with how tough the competition is this year, being away might cost you serious ground. Are you sure that you won't be able to post during the championship?

    So if I understand you correctly, we may or may not get Gyokeres? And if that happens, I may or may not give you any points. You're not a philosopher, Andy. You're the guru around here and people expect clarity. So give it to us straight. We WILL sign him or we WON'T. Unless, of course, you're...

    https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ronaldo/profil/spieler/866670 1749495292 So which one of you gurus took Gyokeres? +50 pts if he joins, -20 if he doesn't. +10 pts if you say that he won't join and he doesn't, -10 if he does.

    No, when I say a HUGE name I mean a house hold name. Oh shit, I didn't. Can you say it again.

    No worries, amico. Obviously your family and business come first, as they should. Badass is in this 24/7, so yeah, he’ll probably beat you… but let’s be real, this game doesn’t pay the bills. Priorities.

    @Badass J Elkann @AndreaCristiano @Mark @X Æ A-12 @Siamak What’s up, my mercato geniuses? Are your sources on holiday or what? Just had a video call with Kyle. He got the same info from all his sources, and it’s HUGE. A real game-changer. He wasn’t sure about sharing it, worried it might kill...

    Dean Huijsen

    However you put it, starting for Spain at 20 is a massive achievement. That said, he was far from impressive against France and Portugal. He looked lost whenever Spain had to defend. He was nowhere around for all six goals conceded, and tonight Ronaldo got away from him on both goals. Huijsen...

    Champions League 2024-25 (historic m*rda debacle edition)

    Oh, I didn’t know that. I thought by now you were a 32nd-degree Mason. Didn’t expect you to leave. What got weird? Can we still keep the name though? Just for the game.

    You sure? You're up against licensed professionals. I'm not sure that you have the right people at the right places to survive this game. I will let you play, of course, but don't end up hanging yourself when these pros tear you apart. I'm in too. I won't make any predictions, so I'll start and...

    Ohhhhhhh, AC isn't Inter. The two favs are evenly matched so far. Ok, this is the deal. Not every guess or miss brings equal points. - Conceicao: if we don't buy him +5pts, if we buy him -5 pts Ramos: if we buy +7, if we don't -5 Retegui: if we buy +5, if we don't -5 Gyok: if we buy +30, if we...

    Who took Pinamonti, you or "certain someone"? So far we have: Badass - we don't sign Conceicao Lion - we sign Fabian Ruiz and we sell Di Gregorio

    Absolutely. Back in the day, the mercato was fun. We used to keep score. I’d give points to the gurus. Plus pts for a hit, minus for a miss. Badass won it quite comfortably and has held the crown for a decade. I might bring that system back this summer. Could be fun. And honestly, I think we...

    Appreciated :tup: I wasn't joking. There are very few gurus left. Or if you don't consider yourself a guru, let's just say members who actually share transfer info. If I’ve been following correctly, there are only four of you. You and Badass bring the real news. Mark is cosi cosi. The...

    I've been following your posts for months. Even though I haven’t said anything until now, I just want to say that I really appreciate your work as a guru :tup: The summer mercato discussions are the heart of this forum, and those who bring actual inside info are its backbone. Sadly, there aren't...
