So glad Nick is back. The universe is right again with you both countering me
Meh, I think we have a chance still after the Diego deal and possibly Sissoko? I know other teams can outbid us but he never hid his admiration for us last summer and if we continue to impress and get CL he might wait. Plus, who is to say that Agnelli doesn't open up his check book for the club one more time before that fair play act starts.
I see what you guys are saying with Real poaching around, but I don't think they are in absolute dire circumstances when they have 2 of the best strikers around and a midfielder that scores as much as them. Why spend 40m on a striker when you already have 2 just as good? For some reason I don't see it happening because it doesn't make sense unless they were going to let one of those two go, and in that event I would be willing to be less optimistic
