Summer Mercato season 2023-24 (87 Viewers)

[s4tch]

Kostic is what is today. Comabiasso and Illing can only improve and surpass him. End of story. Sell him

kostic's assists in the last few seasons: 8, 9, 14, 11, 10 (and it's only the league)
iling & cambiaso assists in their careers, all competitions, total: 9

i'm all in for giving youth a chance but there has to be some transition. if cambiaso and iling could provide a total of 5 assists, we'd say they'd have a good season in that regard. if kostic stopped at 7, we'd say he's finished and sell him. last season kostic was better than 97 percent of all players in expected assists. cambiaso was 58, iling 53. and it's per 90 minute stats. bottom line is that kostic is an absolute elite assist man, the two youngsters are average at best. completely different levels of expected performance

According to Ts we have saved 117m out of 140m target already. Still missing 23m. Someone getting sacrificed here.

We can't look that far into the future when the present is so bleak. Iling or whoever might become a beast of a player, but if we don't improve financially, we won't be the ones enjoying their performances, because we'll be forced to sell.
What I want to say is that top 4 is a necessity, and we won't achieve that if we get rid of all our best players from last year. It's true that Kostic is just an ok player, nothing more, but it's equally true that our prospects for achieving a top 4 position are greater with him on the wing, as opposed to entrusting that role to an inexperienced youngster.

but u dont even have to look that far with Iling though. Let him score 5 goals and some assist and boom, next mercato u easily have offers of 50m for him, its that simple.

Premiership clubs paying 130 million for a player without blinking.

There's no competing with this. The battle is long lost.

Serie A should bring back co-ownerships of players.

 

[Akshen]

i hope its only a loan, i can see him becoming really good player

And we'll replace him with?

we have suffered losses from almost every single one of those.

Until Lukaku finds a club, I can't relax. Spurs, Chelsea, and Arsenal will need a striker so I feel that Vlahovic could end up leaving.

Also, we should've got someone like James Maddison. Guy looks great at Spurs. We never go for attacking mids, it's always some bullshit defensive type with zero assists in them.

Not in the golden times. If I remember correcly Moggi secured full ownership of Chiellini, Maresca and Miccoli for peanuts from Fiorentina.

Eh? It's 2023, 30 isn't old for a footballer. That's not why we're selling him

Not why we're selling him but it is why he's relatively cheap. He won't have any resale value for his next team.

And?

Lower resale value, lower price. Quite obvious.

He has been replaced by Cambiaso?

I like Kostic. You know what you get when he's on the field but he's also quite one-dimensional and we barely have any profiles that match his game / can finish his crosses.

 

[Adrian]

Wouldn't be a summer mercato without berardi rumours. Cassano rumours to follow.

Kostic - surprised, although would make sense if we are going to be smarter at managing our roster and players in their early 30s.

Berardi - how would he fit into a 352 set up?

Sacrifice elkann save ourselves years of more disappointment in being the figc bitch

Arsenal don't need a striker, they're happy with what they have so much so they're trying to offload Balogun. I think they want another gk to rival Ramsdale though

If the younger players improve and surpass him (unlikely), sure play them instead. But let them compete for it.

We've sold countless of good performers before without proper replacing them and we ended up shooting ourselves in the foot by doing so.

Kostic is known quality. To sell him for a few bucks and because younger players could surpass him is just retarded.

End of story.

But isn’t Beradi just a year younger than Kostic? Kostic was one of our best players last season and his yearly costs (fee amortization plus wage) should be pretty low. I don’t get why we keep useless expensive players like Sandro / MDS / Pogba but try to sell a cheap and useful player.

Also I don’t get the love for Soule and Iling, especially Soule that kid is shite

Almost 2 years. But the real thing is we absolutely need another creative attacker (with Soulé outgoing) and we have 3 left wingbacks in our team.

Good luck trying to sell Sandro, Desci or Pogba

 

[Badass J Elkann]

Sandro can't play wing back at all anymore. He should play left back, at home
