I know it sounds like hindsight but still can't believe we spent that insane amount of money on a young unestablished non-italian cb.

Although I really enjoyed the flight tracking back then.
I would say he was quite established player as Ajax captain at 19...if he became next Chiellini (what he was expected to be) that amount wouldn't be insane...but he turned out to be whiny little (volleyball) bitch.

I'm glad we got Bremer with his transfer money.
And Calafiori now just gives better vibes, probably because he's Italian.

Hahah you tracked his flight? That must have be fun, nice.

lol

bro if we don't sign Calaflowers we suck ass.

Should be a priority but also keep Bremer. I don't like the idea of buying buy only when we sell the good stuff.

Yeah true, we need both bad. And they vastly different defenders in skillset so ideal potential partnership.


Thankfully every rumour of selling Bremer completely died out.

The guy has really impressed me. He looks like he has the right mentality. Even when he scored the own goal, you can see in his face he was like:: "ah well, lets get one back".

He is definitely worth up to 50m in my opinion. The thing is, if we get him, we would have 6 CBs - Danilo, Bremer, Rugani, Gatti, Califiori and Djalo and intending to play a back 4 so 2 positions unless we intend to use Danilo and/or Djalo as full back options as well.

Djalo is useless as f*. Nuevo MDS. Rugani is benchwarmer so no one actually cares about him being or not in the team. The rest are going to rotate as CBs + Danilo supporting Di Lorenzo as RB

In theory could we not buy Cala for an amount like 35 with 5 bonuses

In seperate deals loan them some players with CL experience, Kean Etc with low buy options?

Wouldnt that actually work out better for Bologna given the 50 percent they have to send to Basel?
