Asamoah back in CM.

Spinazzola can play LM/RM too if needed.

Getting those 3 would be very expensive.

Strong links to Keita.
Couldn't see it being that much more expensive than Schick (25)+Tolisso (40) +De Sciglio (10) +James (60)
Fabinho+Lemar won't cost that much more than 75MM....

Mbappe could cost 80, but the other two will be less expensive for sure because of a) their positions b) lower relative hype

Tolisso vs fabinho? Which one should we get and why?
Fabinho can also play RB, which is a great asset considering our aging RB position.

Keita balde is coming. Fits the profile. More realistic than Costa or Sanchez. Doesn't necessarily need to be a full time starter. Affordable wage. Young, up and coming. Taking from another Italian club. It all lines up.

A summer of Keita Balde, Tolisso, and De Sciglio? Oh yes. Also would love to buy low on Perin.

There were excessive rumors about Balde being a minor head case and not having a proper working ethic, something like Balo-light.

It won't be a terrible summer if it happens, but I would like us to buy at least one high profile player, like Di Maria, Sanchez or Reus.
And we need more backup options, we currently have only Pjaca as backup, and he's injured. we would need a winger and another player who is kind of jack of all trades and can fulfil multiple positions.

Fabinho, Schick, Lemar\Sanchez\Berardi\Bernardeschi\Costa would be better IMO.

They should just sell him for 90-100, we've seen so many players in europe with crazy price tags who weren't sold, and eventually they declined and nobody wanted them.
Who for example?

Only example I can think of would be Falcao, but he's actually been sold (loan+option), injury was basically bad luck.

Read this in the paper a week ago and forgot to post it:

Ivorian start Eric Bailly says he has no regrets about missing out on a move to Italian giants Juventus back when he was a youngster.

Before Bailly signed with Spanish side Espanyol in 2011, he was spotted playing at an academy in his native Ivory Coast by Juve, who were keen on bringing him to Turin.

However, a lack of football background (Bailly wasn’t registered with a club in the Ivory Coast) and an absence of paperwork meant the Italian giants were unable to secure a work permit for the youngster.
He would probably have ended up like Abdoulaye Bamba with us anyway.

Indeed, and it's not just rumours Btw. How he handled contract negotiations and way he tried to force his way out of Lazio has been disastrously unprofessional.


Latest article even says he left Barca Academy because he found the rules to be too strict. Joining Juve with that attitude will be less then ideal.

He would be fighting with Benatia for 5th Centerback place now. Or would have ended up like Soerensen.

Just saw that Soerensen is doing pretty well with 1. FC Kölle.
Anyone following him? @DAiDEViL

I'm not talking about Monaco specifically obviously, but players like Lamela, Belfodil, Afellay, Marin... just some random names, prices differ but basically these are players who were "worth" lots of money before flopping hard.

Pretty much all of those players you mentioned were sold and none of them were even close to being in the same talent pool as Mbappe.
