You guys should stop panicking ffs.

Zakaria's net value on our books will be 6M in the summer so if we really want to get rid of him we will easily. If not, he earns 4M gross so it's not like he cost us arm and leg.

For Kulusevski and McK these are young players with big amount of minutes played in Premier League. I'm pretty sure we will find buyers for them. Especially that McK is USNT first team player so considering the audience EPL is getting in US, he's also an attractive purchase from the marketing point of view.

What's annoying is that we're still going to be stuck and we'll still have to struggle to find them a club this summer, we're missing out on great opportunities to get rid of them.

- Chelsea buy anything and everything at crazy prices, the only club that can't rip them off is us.
- Kulusevski, I never believed in the talent of this player, miraculously he had a good season the following year he disappeared. If Tottenham is too high for him, will he accept West Ham or Aston Villa?
- Mckennie, a mediocre overrated player, who was loaned with an option for a large sum because he had the "Juve" label, now that all the English clubs have been able to see his real level, far from believing that we will manage to sell him at the price one would have expected.

Grimaldo official signs with Bayer Leverkuesen, so we can exclude him from the LB target.

It is very more likely we have Sandro sign on , and Cambiasso to cover him for another season.

I think Chelsea are willing to overpay for more marquee signings than Zakaria. They got Zakaria only because it was late in the window. As for the Swede Spurs already invested 10M in him. He showed glimpses of good form as you noticed so in my opinion Tottenham is likely to purchase him, maybe they would want to negotiate a bit but they will get him. Kulu also spoke very favorably of Premier League so he will have to make his choice. Did McK really performed that bad in Leeds? He started almost all of their games. We shall see, I think we shouldn't find it difficult to find a buyer for around 25M in EPL.

If you move from Benfica to Leverkusen as a free agent in your prime years that's telling. Sando is not a full-back anymore. If he renews, he renews to play as LCB and occasionally as a LB.

As a brand and economic super powerhouse surpassed it long time ago. Not in pure football quality (Serie A back then had most balon d or winners and prolly majority of worlds best 11, in EPL mainly KDB and Haaland in that range).

But as most popular league by far where most players want to he play, for sure more or less the same. If not more due to anglo popularity.



And Dai I don't want Frattesi as our main mid signing either way, been against targeting him, but he is a Sassuolo player still, its normal for players to dream of playing in the best league. Cant fault them for being honest. He is a Sassuolo player, who is as likely to sign for Napoli or Roma then us, or even remain in Sass, so if he wishes he could be in EPL in 2 years, who cares. Let the man dream. Even if its oddly specific to say 2 years lol.


I only care if he said that as Juve player.

Marchisio used to be very complimentary about the EPL in most interviews, said it was the ideal league for his style of mid play, how he liked Gerrard, Lampard etc. Didnt matter at end, spent his whole career with us. Just showing appreciation.

pass on Frattesi

- - - Updated - - -

Davide #Frattesi at the Bulgarelli Prize: “The #PremierLeague fascinates me a lot. Before going abroad, however, I would still need 2 years in #SerieA to get there properly. Market? I think that this summer the director #Carnevali will have a lot of fun with me…”. #calciomercato
It's cute how he thinks so highly of himself. Like Dybala.

Solid pass. I don't want players here who'll just treat us as a stepping stone and use us as a training facility with a mind that's focused elsewhere.

Erik ten Hag has spoken to Adrien Rabiot in recent weeks to try and convince him to join Manchester United. With Rabiot a free agent this summer, United want to get a deal finalised as soon as possible.

frens let’s not get butt hurt by Fratessi bc at the end of the day it’s Fratessi

If it was someone worth the discussion then I’d be offended but there reality is exactly what Osman stated.
Oh I agree. I'd have taken him as cheapish option, but in no way should we spend a lot on him. Doesn't even come close to the Rabiot of this season.
