Summer mercato thread 2017-18 (149 Viewers)

We don't have any deal in place for a quality CM. Either we can't reach agreement for a CM till 31 August or we will overpay for an average CM like Can.

Just my feeling. I find the way our board focus on other area is too weird, given our lacking in midfielder.

I haven't watched Mangala fir ages.. but didn't he used to be great? Like really great?

Maybe we could get him on a free and resurrect him. A good defender can't forget how to properly defend..

He used to be expensive, like really expensive.

Mangala certainly improved in Spain following his move from Manchester.

Sadly, his time at City, was characterised by poor, sometimes shambolic, defending. It could well have been poor defensive coaching/tactics. Nonetheless, City fans were majorly relieved to see the back of him.

He's now back at Manchester, though I do not know what game time he will get, especially if Guardiola adds another CM who has strong defensive capabilities.

I'd pass.

Surprised we haven't been linked to Krychowiak

He has a big salary at PSG which he's supposedly not willing to give up and he has done nothing to justify it. I'd pass because if he failed at PSG why would he perform here? He played in Ligue 1 for years before Sevilla, knows the language and still failed. He even stopped performing for the national side.

West is the most obnoxious human beeing on the planet.

But he's shooting in the booty every afro american desires and swims in cash

 

[zizinho]

I think no

I think so

 

[Bianconero81]

next summer please, Higgy replacement. now Keita

- - - Updated - - -

Benta, Costa, Berna, Szczesny, Sciglio, Cancelo, Can, Keita. eventually Caldieri, if we really feel like we need a CB (i think we will be fine). oh and stay away from The Fry

10/10 mercato

At best a 7/10. Losing Dani Albes and Bonucci weakens the defense, and Can as a midfield reinforcement is barely even that. If we get a better RB, and a quality acquisition in midfield, then it becomes a solid 8.

 

[Mark]

@Mark any chance to get Milinkovic Savic? If they need MF replacement, they can have Lemina, Sturaro or Rincon.

we want , he wants us...Lotito though.

I found nothing...

Do you not like Cancelo then?

 

[Bianconero81]

Do you not like Cancelo then?

We haven't signed him yet

Cancelo, SMS, and don't sell any more fucking starters (Sturaro, Rincon, and other useless duds can leave for all I care), and I'd rate the mercato an 8

 

[adame]

Looks like we will buy both Garay and Cancelo from Valencia according to the latest news. There is a new rumour about Juventus are prepare to make a 100 million euros worth offer to Lazio for Keita+SMS+De Vrij according to Il Messaggero. I don't know how reliable these rumours are, but I thought it might have some truth in it.

SMS 60 Keita 20 De Vrij 20 - Seems like a reasonable offer but I dont think Lazio would be so willing to sell their whole team...
SMS and Keita I know but how good is De Vrij? I Dont remember him in particular

 

[Beki]

Yeah, the depth is very frustrating regarding CM position and we only have 3 starting caliber CM.

 

[Orgut]

If we get Garay/De Vrij + SMS+ Schick/Keita (whoever you prefer of these options) how would you rate our mercato? IMO its a 7.5 since we lost Bonucci - With Bonucci it would have been a 8.5 for me
(ratings over 9 are reserved for special mercatos like keeping all the important players+adding WC wingers and a WC CM)

FI says 30M for Manolas - I cant believe we are getting this overrated defender...

 

[Dominic]

Just give space to Rugani.

 

[.zero]

Garay links getting stronger

Why?




Kroos

He played in Ligue 1 for years before Sevilla, knows the language and still failed. He even stopped performing for the national side.

I think it's actually a positive thing that he was successful at Reims and Bordeaux for several seasons, it means he actually CAN perform in the league, just not in the team. The lad started just 7 games last season, not a lot to judge him by.

If we need another CB then get Garay, he's cheap but good enough when we need rotation. The signing is more or less a stopgap until we bring in Caldara anyways.

 

[Amer]

We are well covered everywhere but in midfield. Too many average players in there.

If we don't bring an extremely dominant player to partner Pjanic, I just can't see us winning the CL.
