    Summer mercato thread 2022-23 season

    Pogba is great if he is given more of a 10 role. Last time he was here - we had the most disciplined mids next to him and a mainly defensive 5 behind them. He had a great understanding with Dybala too. Would love to give those 2 another try, but both would have to take bigger defensive...

    Summer mercato thread 2022-23 season

    Keep MDL and if his efforts yesterday are anything to go by - Dybala too. MDL stay is a must, especially when we lost Romero and kept Rugani(who has been decent, I must admit). TBH, I don't know why would a club take him at ~50m per year between salary and fees, especially when he will have...

    Paulo Dybala

    Time to shine for him. Here now or next year with a different team. If we manage to squeeze the scudetto out of Merda's filthy hands... we will see. At the very least he will get better offers.

    Dušan Vlahović

    Great signing. Fantastic timing and brave decision making. Yeah, we would have to throw some players overboard, but most more than deserve this. Hopefully with CL next summer, Dusan firing on all cylinders and a few shrewd summer transfers we would have the team to play for everything. Won't...

    Alvaro Morata

    Need to leave now, as Kean will be bench.

    Winter mercato 2022

    WTF - Moise Kean will cost us at least 35m euros. Just because he is HG or what? Giroud and Dzeko look like the bargain of the century compared. No wonder ParaziTzi was dumped.

    Winter mercato 2022

    Found links on DailyMail connecting him with Chelski. Their bid was supposedly even lower and it is true Barca has a lot of promising youngsters that can deputize. Couldn't be arsed to find which 'rumors den' its been copied from... ops, wait found it: El Nacional Catalonia Wouldn't be hard to...

    Winter mercato 2022

    Frankie De Jong available for 40M pounds. It's an amount we can hardly spend, but it almost guarantees a De Ligt extension if we would want one. Can he play in front of the defense in this team? I think if there was any possibilities we should go for it. Dybala might just give us the financial...

    Paulo Dybala

    I don't honestly care if he goes to merda. Maybe they could utilize him properly and show us what we did wrong... I like the guy, but his stats are depressing. Especially considering the demands he has. I think we would eventually find something better and saving >20M a season isn't a bad start...

    Winter mercato 2022

    Me too. Just I don't see that many changes. I think our tighten purse is mostly failure to reach objectives, covid, SuperLeague dreams and last but not least no viable path forward for our 'old strategy'. Now we are in penny-pinching mode and rightly so, but will lose big players and might even...

    Winter mercato 2022

    Yeah, you are right of course. Icardi is a totally new name. As is Morata. Maybe they were solely Nedved's choices.

    Winter mercato 2022

    ... "Allegri has requested Icardi in attack, on the other hand Juve had already tried to buy him in the last days of August. If PSG were open to a loan with the right to buy option, I believe that Mauro will be able to become a Juventus player otherwise Milik might also be considered...

    Winter mercato 2022

    Failing to remember the past guarantees miserable future. Moreover are you sure Agnelli and Nedved(for example) have no input on our market strategy? Come on, man! I don't want to be a jerk, but 'the past' the way you used it sounds to me like something that has no bearing on the present. For...

    Winter mercato 2022

    Well at the very least they could replace the Berna and MDS from our team, saving a few millions in the process. :) I agree with you that Allegri looks more like a fruit squeezer, than a gardener - but it is what it is. Are we changing him too? Cause that certainly didn't help with Sarri and...

    Winter mercato 2022

    It's not that we are broke, we aren't, but we have no viable plan. Just buying players again and again. CR7 is a great player, but we didn't have the team for him. MU don't either. We thought he will be the cherry on the cake, but the cake was rotting out already. If Allegri is the chosen one...

    Can COVID positive test be used the same way bad teeth were in the past?

    Winter mercato 2022

    I am very suspicious of Barca's dealings since Xavi arrived. They are either aware that they have the backbone of some new messiahs from the academy or the spanish government pumped them with some illegal cash infusion, while FIGC are actively hunting every club in Italy that spent more than...

    Matthijs de Ligt

    Yeah, give Mino the 'easy' task of bringing us his fee and wages spent. It would be simple Mino, the release clause... There are an obscene amount of 'free' defenders from Chelski alone. If De Ligt wants to be there - no isses with that, his transfer fee should cover the salaries for 2 on a 4-5...

    Winter mercato 2022

    In all honesty I don't see what our strategy for a CF is. Dybala is extending, which is fine I suppose, but he hasn't been able to make a good striking duo with Higuain, Morata and even CR7. I highly doubt Scamacca is going to change that. Tbh even Vlahovic or Haaland do not inspire any...

    Winter mercato 2022

    Spot on, @s4tch ! I didn't know he was an introverted little bi-ach, but considering he made it out with his mentor's wife it seems more than plausible. She saw the gold, since she is a professional talent spotter, saw that he was shy and didn't go out to 'check other options' and pounced like...
