Napoli are considering a move for Carlos Tevez, but his agent would rather get him to Inter instead.

The Boca Juniors striker left Serie A last year, but he is now being touted for a surprising return.

Sky Sports Italia claim that president Aurelio De Laurentiis has spoken to the player's agent and enquired about the conditions of a sale.

Tevez is valued at €8m, but Boca Juniors currently have no intention of selling him. Furthermore, his wages would be tough to handle as he currently earns €7m in South America.

To further complicate matters, Tevez's agent Kia Joorabchian would prefer selling the player to Inter.

At the moment all details surrounding Tevez and the possibility of a move remain quite nebulous. It's not even certain what Coach Maurizio Sarri thinks on the matter, as pundit Ciro Venerato argues that he would be against the move because of concerns over the Apache's tactical compatibility.


If there is an option on bringing him back then we should just do it and play with Dybala Tevez Higuain - You can play 4-3-3 or 4-3-1-2 Whatever you want with this trio and the funny fact is its an all Argentinian trio

Toure in Serie A would be a different beast than Toure in EPL. Players burn out in the PL due to the unnecessary amount of sprinting because the league must be "exciting". Other leagues rely on jogging much more, so Toure's age would be less likely an issue. The problem would likely be his wages, which are obscene (~6.6mm eur net).

I expect him to be one of our best earners if he arrives - Actually I think it would be worth it IF he has anything left in his tank - His value is extremely low right now so I guess his wage demands would decrease along with his market value!
I see Yaya as a similar player to Pogba (although Pogba is probably 4 times better by now...)

We could offer Yaya a revival of his career. His is now stagnating at City. Getting him playing time and a strong team should be enough for him to lower his wages, otherwise he will have to stay there collecting dust.

We really need some strength in the midfield and someone that can add value to more than one part of the field with that strength.

Dude, Yaya is finished.

Well Real are apparently interested in Fabregas and with Asensio and all their million of AM I believe they might actually sell Isco!
Isco would be geat!

As for Eriksen and Draxler - We were linked with Eriksen for around 2 minutes and it seems like bullshit - Anyway I dont rate him that much - I rather we pass on him... As for Draxler - He is fast and might link up great with our attack but are we really interested?
I rate Eriksen highly but the move seems unlikely. Draxler will move if someone offers enough money (over 50m) because he doesn't want to be at Wolfsburg. I don't see Isco moving anywhere and I actually prefer the ones I mentioned anyways as Eriksen has better end product and Draxler is much more direct.

More realistic scenario is Brozo + Diawara.

Yaya would be the best option for the "muscle CM". He can pass, protect the ball and brink upwards it to the AM / forwards. His wages are not relevant because he renewed a while ago when he was younger so I expect him to take a pay cut at every club he goes. He's in his last year so the fee won;t be much as there were reports of him wanting to buy out his contract. He's a much better alternative to Matuidi, Witsel, Gustavo. Yaya + James and I'll forget all about Pogba

Yaya would be absolutely PERFECT if this was 5 years ago. Nevertheless, if he's available for pennies I would take him, as he is a player in Pogba's and Vidal's mould that could get another jumpstart to his career here like Evra did. He would be a rotation player for around 2 seasons anyway so why not.

We broke the bank for Higuain and the press is linking to every available player :lol2: I know almost all the rumours linking us to Isco or James or likewise WC players are bullshit since we already spend the pogba money (higuain) and coman (benatia) zaza (gilardino or matri or Pjaca), im just glad at least we are linked to WC players unlike the last few years.

Not every case will be the same as Pirlo you know. Yaya relies on athleticism and he plays like a dead corpse.
A very impressive corpse... still managed to score 6 and assists 5 in the EPL in 28 games + 1 goal and 2 assists in the CL in 9 games - Those are probably not Ozil`s numbers but there arent bad numbers at all... especially for a 33 year old

Makes zero sense to get both as they are both not exactly the complete product and might fight for the same role...

Eriksen - Honestly I just dont see anything that special about him while Draxler is always making movement and has great link up with his teammates... I see him a perfect player for Barca but they arent smart enough to get him... He isnt playing in La Liga and isnt worth 90M yet...

Isco - I would love him as he is the kind of player that can make the whole team play better
James - He isnt the kind who makes the whole team better but is extremely lethal and might give us that extra up front (especially now that we also have Higuain...)
Draxler - Would be a good addition although I`d be more happy to see one of the Madridistas...
Eriksen - Seriously I guess he is a good player but isnt that special... (IMO of course...)

Brozo is CM/RM/AM, Diawara is a DM so different roles but I do hope we sign someone more established.
