    Summer mercato 2021-22

    I think PSG are lacking in 3 major areas: coach, midfield and the fact that half of their starting 11 have never played together. Theyre one of the best teams for sure, but Id say Bayern f.e. have just as much chances

    can we fucking sell one of our CM's? I don't care which one of Bentancur, Rabiot or Ramsey, just get it done.

    Since when does he shape of players face matter? :lol: Kulu is one of the ugliest star footballers around, Im still happier to see him play not Berna

    Summer mercato 2021-22

    I like him a lot as a stopgap solution, gritty player with a lot of confidence in his abilities. Of course he has to be cheapish, no way we should splash out for a limited 30yo forward, if we can get him for 20-25 and 3m wages do it. Same for Zapata, even though I like Muriel better, getting...

    Summer mercato 2021-22

    I've read studies that say that transfermarkt valuations for the more valuable players are pretty accurate. For our players the stumbling block often is wages, while Berna might be worth 15m in transfer fee, he's so overpaid that teams that might want him and use him can't afford him.

    If someone is willing to pay 10-15 for Rugani, its never too late

    Summer mercato 2021-22

    I really don't see the use of both Pjanic and Locatelli coming, the squad is already too large and theres no rumors of deals for Rabiot, Bentancur or Arthur and even Ramsey isn't gone yet. So it's just Pjanic and no Locatelli? :lol:

    I'd rather spend 35m on de Paul. :(

    Nah, Zaniolo is a 40m max player atm precisely because of ACL. Before yeah, it's not hard to see a team splashing a similar amount on him that we did on Chiesa, similar type of talent, most probably preferred Zaniolo over Fede.

    Summer mercato 2021-22

    the guy is very talented, but even more inconsistent. And he is also very injury prone, last 2 seasons he has been Ramsey level injury-wise.

    Agree with everything apart from calling Atalanta a direct league rival :D

    Summer mercato 2021-22

    I dunno what our squad will look like when the season starts, but if 2/3 out of Chiellini, de Ligt and Bonu are injured, I hope Danilo is moved to CB. Rugani is ok to play against Sassuolo, but pls dont field him in CL

    Summer mercato 2021-22

    Commercially COVID and the no-show in Europe fucked away any significant long-term revenue boost we could've milked from Ronaldo. I don't think his impact on players signing was that big either, he might've had a hand in us landing Cancelo, but that's about it. We paid a massive fee and salary...

    Summer mercato 2021-22

    Depends on length of contract. I'm okay with giving Pjanic his Barca contract for 2 years if he's free and we manage to rid ourselves of Ramsey (or 3 years on a lower salary). He's no Pirlo ability wise, but he's exactly in the same situation Andrea was prior to joining Juventus - slowly fading...

    Looks like were super short on cash, if its between Donna or a mid signing, Im glad we chose the latter

    Summer mercato 2021-22

    Nah, he's too expensive, he'll have no resale value and his salary is quoted to be 8.5m net, I don't think it's worth it. I'd agree that many players don't make it at Barca/Real, but this guy played for many managers in Barca + had a year in Bayern as well and never really established himself as...

    Summer mercato 2021-22

    Yah, but the wage bill needs serious overwork, you can't have guys on 5.5m or whatever Sandro is earning riding the bench as backup, someone like Frabotta on 0.1m or Pellegrini on 1-2m is enough if you have Danilo for first backup. I'm fine with Sandro remaining as starter if he's the...
