The damage is already done at this point, so it’s only a question of how much worse it gets from this point. Vlahovic has already been struggling mentally and is now going through weeks of unsettling headlines of his club trying to ship him somewhere but nobody really wanting him. If he stays...

Hopefully Giuntoli is using the valuations provided by this website before closing any deals.

We must all be used to the recurring trend by now, of the deal always being worse in reality for us, than what is originally reported.

It is to reduce his ridiculous yearly amortisation value on the books and spread it over a further year to help us in the interim (ie - this season). In all probability it means we will either be stuck with him until 2026 or we will give him a pay off and termination in the summer of 2025.

Not really, Barcelona pulled off the master strokes of Coutinho and Dembele in the not too distant past. At least they brought in a character like Pjanic, with some pride and self respect, who left after it was clear he wouldn’t get minutes on the pitch under Koeman. We’re guaranteed to be...

Doesn’t surprise me that the dinosaur wants Lukaku. He can’t coach forwards and develop them so he would prefer to take the cop out option and swap for one who is accomplished at being able to hold the ball up under pressure and play long balls to. If we buy that meme, that would likely be the...

In the past decade we have shoved out Mandzukic, Khedira, Matuidi, Ramsey (a year too late) rather unceremoniously. I think it feels like that way to you due to the large amount of guff we have on big wages in a short span due to the legend of Paratici.

I wish he would work his ass off at learning how to cover his front post. But alas, 10+ years of top flight experience and yet a glaring weakness that is supposed to the first rule of goalkeeping exists to the same extent as when he arrived here.

Tevez and Higuain came here as polished centre forwards in their prime. You are comparing that sample size against a 23 year old playing 1.5 seasons in possibly the worst team we’ve had in my 30 years of watching with 3 years of experience in a competitive league. 55 million these days gets you...

I could see Vlahovic doing well at P$G once they offload Mbappe. They would likely bring in players, play a 4-3-3 and actually get players around him. Meanwhile it will make us look an even worse destination to land as an attacking player. Unlikely to win a trophy, turgid football, minimal...

What is more depressing - an off season with any decent player worth something being constantly linked with moves away and nothing good realistically incoming or weekly episodes of Jihadball? Personally I choose the off season, that way at least I don’t have to watch or read anything and it’s...

Not sure if it’s been mentioned, but if those are the numbers he is going to Fiorentina for, then I believe we paid more for De Shitlio as a transfer fee on a bigger wage and Alex Sandro’s annual salary is equivalent to his transfer fee and wages. If we play with a back 4 this season then we...

Any person offered 5 or 6x their salary, particularly with a family is likely to accept imo. Yes football is a slightly different world and these are exorbitant sums, however do also take into account there is hardly anyone interested, we are a club on a big decline in a dull, boring, rapidly...

He is utter shit and wouldn’t start for a relegation side in Serie A. His defensive positioning is atrocious, he can barely move, he loses any duel that he’s involved in, makes careless fouls because he’s scared of chasing back after anyone (sometimes he even misses making an attempted foul)...

I don’t wish to see another season from him, his legs had clearly gone last season and looked like he was trying to run with a heavy weight on his back. I’d just prefer it if we didn’t dump a player who has given a lot to the club, unceremoniously out the door. However, it’s not the first player...

There’s no place for rational thinking on tuz.

Would feel strange forcing him out the door in this manner if true. I’d personally prefer allowing him to run his final year down to retirement or asking him to reduce his salary for his final season. The boot out the door should be reserved for shit like Alex Sandro.

If we amalgamated them together, then we may be able to create one competent full back.

Recalling how badly some of our best full backs in recent decades fell off a cliff such as Lichtsteiner and Zambrotta at the age of about 32, Cuadrado did well up until last season. Still retained his speed somewhat but the stamina naturally declined and likely contributed to his already...

Our first meaningful activity of the summer shows we are not getting a hard reset and overhaul. In all likelihood, we are getting another season of Alex Sandro, Cuadrado, Bonucci, Tek, Rabbit, Raguno led by Jihadball here to extract every remaining ounce of enthusiasm remaining for this club and...
