15m vs 9m it seems.

All other LB's would have been more which means we have more funds to hopefully spend on another "position".

Might be the difference is settling a negotiation.

And when that doesn't happen should we refer back to this moment of absolute certainty from you?

@DAiDEViL I am missing an inside joke? :D
Only concern here is, should we splash the cash on a starting fullback now? Cause evra won't get any younger and I doubt that we will sign a 15-20m lb next year, after spending 9m this year.

And btw..

Why do we need a lolzillian and aren't all South American players traitors that we should stay away from?

What happened to this concept?

Would you approve if that CAM is Vasquez?
Well honestly I have seen him only a couple of times, and he seemed pretty slow to me. Overall he had good vision and passing skills. Zach had a good point that his speed wouldn't be of a too big concern considering we don't play that counter attacking style like Dortmund for example. We had lot of possession and he could open up that thight defence with a good pass. I don't know allegris plans for next season though. If he plans to play a counter attacking style or fast pace, he will pretty much fail. But if we keep our game plan I don't see too much trouble. Especially we would trade a slow deep laying playmaker with one higher up the pitch and minimize the risk for our defence

I just don't like signing players with no upside.

If Atletico is letting them go that easily, you can assume he's been average to mediocre for them.

Honestly if we are looking for a backup for Evra (who can't really be a force at attack), just use Padoin. I don't expect to see much difference from Padoin and Siqueira tbh. Defensively solid, offensively just try not to fuck it up.

I'm not really against this signing, but not favourable also. Won't change much, except for 10M less to spend next mercato.

Please, dont try to act like you understand the meaning of "defending"

This guy is a solid defensive player, and that exactly what you want from a backup defender

Honestly €9m is nothing these days.He's a better and a more accomplished fullback than Romulo and costing €2m more only.
Not to mention we're getting him on a loan initially.
A pretty ok-ish deal imo

I'm somehow pretty confident he's better than some of us here make him out to be. I doubt the naysayer(s) have actually watched him play anyways.

Enough backups of backups. FUCK HIM!

I don't know how are we expecting a better time to pick LB squad-wise? We have one old-timer with just enough left in the tank so that a new addition have the time to settle in and Asamoah who fights for his life as a player atm and either way we hope to use him in midfield.

20-30m if need be for a top player, it shouldn't matter. We missed on Darmian, so we better have a good plan B. Not Galliani's 'good as we are'!!!

Please badass, can you drop your pessimistic behavior. Everyone knows how deeply you've been hurt since Vidal was sold but you can always find a corner to cry or masturbate, no one cares. Vidal does not care too, he is too busy with his new teammates now.
:lol: :tup:

Not everyday that I agree with Zach, but he has it spot on IMO. Siqueira is a great back-up option for us this season. Evra only has another year left with us, so then next year we can look to sign a more expensive/attacking LB.
