I mean having a next gen player as a fifth backup winger is perfect to have. You don't want to buy a proper player to rot on the bench but you want to have decent cover in case of injuries.

I was really worried about the RB position as we don't really have a fantastic primary option there, but honestly now with Danilo, Kalulu, Savona and Cambiaso all potentially playing there with Motta hybrid position tactics, it's actually looking like a relatively strong position.

Fuck being cautiously optimistic, we fucking demolished a team that crushed Napoli 3-0 a week ago with Serie C players. We are winning the league unbeaten :tuttosport:

I guess it's because he employs quite fluid football where he wants players to take up new positions on the field depending on whether or not were attacking or defending. For example if were building in possession, the CB might push wide into an advanced RB position to add a passing avenue while...

Now that I recall we actually renewed him AFTER Allegri was sacked. So indeed, it must be book cooking.

If we sign Koop we have 7-8 mids for 2-4 spots: Koop, Adzic, McKennie, Luiz, Fagioli, Locatelli, Thuram (+Arthur and Nicolussi still not sold yet). I think it's fine if we let Miretti out and see if he can actually realize his potential elsewhere. Wish we'd have a buyback clause though.

He renewed with a lower wage and I guess everyone was happy with him being a relatively reliable back-up option who is rarely injured. Then we sacked Allegri and in came Motta and asked what the fuck is that pleb doing here...

Yeah, our club has shit players, that's why shit players happen to wear the armband. Super deep analysis bro.

I watched one match from Mbappe in the Euros and he looked like a 5m player. Scored 0 goals and did nothing.

Sorry, I forgot the forum is full of boomers.

Why didn't Giuntoli just sign either Todibo or Calafiori for whatever the clubs demands were, is he stupid?

Answer to all your questions is: money If we had an infinite amount of money and played CL last year it wouldn't matter if we had all these guys on our paylists, but since half these players have contracts ending in 2025 it's financially irresponsible to not try and sell them and balance the...

* should have

Hence read the last part of the post. Take a breather for 3 weeks, and if we still have 3 starting GKs and a bunch of dead weight at the end of the mercato, then it's a worthy opinion for you to have. I personally do see the vision that Giuntoli is trying to achieve. Signings like Djalo and...

Lmao at panicking over signing the best keeper in Serie A (Italian) for 20mil when your current GK is getting 12mil a year. Nothing short of a fantastic deal to me, unless Tek can't get moved of course, but too early to say that. Maybe take a breather and wait a couple of weeks until you start...

Has anybody in Tuz even seen him play before? In all honesty the first time I've heard about him was when he signed for us and I thought I was somewhat on the pulse of decent Serie A players....

Think ranking the mercato is useless at this point. There's so many factors in the air: half the squad is on sale, Chiesa situation is totally open and we're in the midst of still signing 3-4 players. It can either be a 5/10 or a 9/10 to me depending on whether or not we meet our objectives or...

That's the issue. Chiesa has a pretty bad goal and assist rate and will never be able to reach even 15 goals a season. Why the fuck do we need another injury prone attacker who cannot score?

Ok. And?

I don't see any rational reason for Bologna to sell Calafiori. Basel own 40% of his sell on fee, he has a contract til 2027, he is still only 22 and Bologna are getting a once in a century chance to play in the CL so they should retain as much of the squad as possible. They'd be absolutely...
