Signing up Locatelli would use up our entire budget hopefully Ramsey and Rabiot sale fetches us some money
Oh, Rabiot and Ramsey absolutely need to go, I think nobody has any doubts by now. They simply earn too much and don't deserve it, they don't pull their weight even as 5m net players, hell - even 3m would be too much at this point. Absolutely atrocious signings, enhanced by Pirlo's incompetence.

Locatelli will cost 40m but they might offset that by giving away Fagioli and Frabotta. The thing is that Locatelli alone solves relatively little for our needs. There needs to be at least one more creative B2B player like De Paul/Aouar/Pogba/SMS - someone who scores and assists from midfield. It's impossible to leave the attackers on their own and expect them to figure it out alone, without any support.

This signing is a sign of revolution that's coming this Summer IMO. A change of guard one could say.

I wonder how they will address the midfield and attack issues. We will need lots of sales to cover up this revolution. Hopefully they hire a proper coach this time though.
The revolution should start with top management. All of them should resign or get booted - enough of this incompetence.

Ideally Pogba/SMS would be good with their goals/assists but we still have bentancur and Arthur who add nothing in attack or in defence

De paul we should have got last summer, really doubt we can get him for less than 60 now, for that price i say go all in on SMS and with a proper coach we will be more than alright, if we have cash to spare get a young physical phenom mid to groom for years to come.

I'd be surprised if anyone offered more than 40m for De Paul. 30-35m would be my guess price (with some bonuses).

think a lot will depend on CL qualification in terms of who we get. i agree that SMS is the better player. would lazio play ball? udinese might be willing to do loan + obligation like chiesa deal.

udinese might be more open to do swap deals to lower price or a loan + obligation deal than lazio.

i'd give arthur another chance under a coach who can use him. he was fine in barca and had assists to his name there. this team needs a coach to get the best out the players.

Arthur quality is not the problem. The problem is that Verratti looks super-fit compared to him.. Hell.. D.Costa is even fitter than him..

Arthur has one of those injuries that only gets managed with time, time we don't have because we have to field a couple of dumbasses instead of him. Ok he made that big fuck up but we have to basically write off a third of a season with him. He'll be an important player next season but has to be used correctly.

look at his injury record. he's just not a player a team could rely on, and he's also a little party animal isn't he. he's quality though, and unsellable, we'll keep him, but i'd be surprised to see him get more than 2500 minutes.

Do you think Pirlo will become proper next season? Because we are not changing him.
