    Summer mercato 2021-22

    Maybe he'll be terrible, and he does have a horrible season under Sarri+a non season in Barcelona, but he still has this past value with 50 goals and assists in the three seasons when he was coached by Allegri. With Pjanic there is at least the hope that the coach who got the best out of him...

    Summer mercato 2021-22

    He earns 8.4m euro in Barca. If he takes 20% reduction, that's 6 720 000 per year. This makes Arthur's transfer slightly less horrible. Instead of 12m+Pjanic, it's only 12m euro, which is much closer to Arthur's true value. Which is 0 euro.

    Summer mercato 2021-22

    It's frustrating that nothing happens in our mercato, but then you see Spanish and Italian giants losing their stars left and right due to financial reasons (Messi, Varane, Ramos, Lukaku, Hakimi, Donnarumma, Calhanoglu) and you can only be quietly happy that we're not in any danger of losing our...

    Summer mercato 2021-22

    Food for thought: Can we solve all our financial problems if we buy players from Paratici's Tottenham in 2022 and then sell the same players to him in 2023?

    Summer mercato 2021-22

    Bentancur has the best stats in our midfield. If he sucks, and he does, imagine the others. I just made a comparison on the same site: Locatelli vs Arthur; De Paul vs McKennie. I don't even want to share the results. Locatelli and De Paul are all green. And those are the two positions where I'd...

    Summer mercato 2021-22

    We're missing guaranteed goals with this line-up. The goals scored by Ronaldo in the last three seasons and those by Higuain before that. With Morata you know that you're getting 10-12 goals in serie A, but Dybala is an unknown. He did have excellent seasons before Ronaldo, but for three years...

    Summer mercato 2021-22

    His tuz name after a couple of bad performances is obvious to everyone here. Right @Bianconero81 ? :D

    Summer mercato 2021-22

    Last summer I was against De Paul. I now believe I was wrong. By that point I haven't seen much of him, and when I have, he didn't play well. I got to watch more Udinese matches this season and I think he's quality. His would be a nice signing. After that, I'd still add brains to this midfield...

    Summer mercato 2021-22

    If we decide or are forced to go with Ronaldo for one more season, and that means that we can't invest in other areas, then perhaps we might go with a short-term solution? The midfield is obviously our Achilles' heel. It's unfixable without lots of money, which we don't have. Can we then improve...

    Summer mercato 2021-22

    We're paying 236 million euro for players' wages. Inter are paying 149M. Take Ronaldo's wages off, and we're still paying more than Inter. Take Ronaldo off this team and compare it to Inter. We're in a terrible position. What is it in the future that you're looking forward to? At the end of the...

    Summer mercato 2021-22

    Master team-builder. Sampdoria before, during and after Marotta; Juve before, during and now after Marotta; Inter before and now with Marotta. It's blatantly obvious that he is the reason for success and he's irreplaceable.

    Summer mercato 2021-22

    This summer is maybe the worst time to rebuild a team. With everyone losing tons of money, few, if any, will be prepared to pay the usual amounts for football players. If we sell some players, we'll do it to cover losses rather than reinvest in new players. And if we do sell, we won't be able to...

    Summer mercato 2021-22

    Most of the time it is the case, though I am not sure about McKennie. On the one hand, he was a huge unknown to be bought directly, and on the other hand Juve has an obligation to buy him if he achieves certain sportive objectives and a right to buy him if he doesn't achieve them. There was no...

    Summer mercato 2021-22

    We will have to buy him. He's not our player, he's here on loan. Even if we manage to sell Ramsey and Bentancur (let's not forget that 50% of the transfer fee for Bentancur goes to Boca), more or less we'll get enough money to buy McKennie. Great great great job Paratici and co.
