just sign fucking Hermoso
this is just a big fat mess

and these are just the cb's. winger situation is even worse. at least we have bremer and danilo, those aren't bad. but when it comes to wingers, we have inexperienced yildiz who's not explosive enough for a modern winger anyway, and weah. and that's all. chiesa is said to have an agreement with inda even by slow sky experts, kostic is never a winger, fucking hell

i have no idea how this season will turn out to be. but the mercato itself created more issues than it solved so far. accounts will look better, but the squad lacks bodies and quality at almost every position. year zero my ass, this is year minus one or two. giuntoli wasn't exaggerating when he said that fixing the squad was gonna take him 2-3 seasons. now it's down to motta to figure out something. as a fan i have no expectations, literally zero. whatever will happen, will happen.

JJ is like that fucking student who never does his hw, never studies, keeps procrastinating the whole year, and then crams everything in the last 48-72 hours - sometimes it works, and the student passes his exams with flying colors, and sometimes it backfires spectacularly. I wonder what this season will bring. Will JJ get an A or an F?!

I mentionned Memphis Depay before, you know him well as Dutch, attitude or salary issue maybe, but he is a quality attacker that can play both wings and as a CF when Vlahovic is injured or off form. Would suit Motta style I think. Possibly play the Zirkzee role well.


We lowering our salary by alot this summer so maybe it's not feasible target. But it's end of August and he still doesn't have a club so why not.

I have to say things are not looking good.

There are still 11 days left but a lot needs to be done. Ideally, we would have wanted 1 defender, Koop, 2 wingers or ~4 new players. At the same time, we still need to offload a lot of players including Kostic and Chiesa. Most recently, Szczesny, Rugani, Caviglia (on his way out) and Barbieri have left. Others that need to be taken care of include Arthur as well.

I reckon all up, we would ideally need to complete at LEAST 7 deals in 11 days (10 if you exclude Sunday).

Our recent track record has been of failure especially on the defenders - I call them Todi-BOH! and KuluWHO. Koop and Nico for some unknown reason can't be closed despite reports that the fees were agreed upon and the relevant clubs found substitutes - it was a domino effect that where we were last in line - only for the last domino not to fall. Incredible stuff.

I really hope that Giuntoli has something up his sleeve that no-one in the press knows about or something to salvage the market.

I was actually quite optimistic after we secured Luiz and Thuram - and wasn't too concerned about selling Huijsen and Soule` - I think everyone thought we were almost certainly going to get Todibo, Koopmeiners and 2 exciting wingers. Now we are on plan D or E for the defender and now facing the real prospect that Koop (who we sold Soule and Huijsen for) may never happen out of spite from Atalanta. Nico may not happen either.

Not looking good. Can still be salvaged but definitely getting very negative vibes right now.

I would have rather just kept the same squad as last year, selling the same players minus Soule and HugeSuck, and then just bought Thuram. Give Motta a year to work with the group and then cut it. Anything is better than this.

I told you his next move is Crystal Palace or Brentford level Dru lol. But it turns out Fullham instead of Brentford.


If we wanted Cherki he would been ours I think, because he costs only 15m.

I don't even want to think about what the squad is going to look like after 2 or 3 seasons of Giuntoli "fixing" it. :scared:

I was one of the first to lol at this mercato but it's at the point now where it's SO fucked that you just know giuntoli has all the last minute deals lined up. Because this is just too fucked to imagine
