Apologies for my week long absence my loyal Tuz devotees.

I have spent the last week in Jamaica looking at coffee beans.

It seems there has been little progress in the transfer market which makes me upset. I fear that only a humiliating defeat by RM will wake the board up to the realities of the modern day need for bigger net spending. I fear however that we may be too late. The task of rebuilding our ageing squad and replacing players that we have lost in the last 3 seasons is enormous. Unfortunately we have kicked the can down the road as far as possible. I fear a meek few years ahead.

Midfield is the one area of the pitch where Nipples is arguably close to us with Jorginho, Allan and Hamsik. It would be a colossal failure on our behalf if we let them have both Torreira and Barella while we don’t get anyone apart from Can.

Can is not a guarantee either.
Napoli will not get both baerella and torreira. Maybe one and they will add an attacking player like politano, verde or chiesa. If they get chiesa that would be a significant signing.

Wouldn't mind Bonaventura

Eclectic italian

 

[Bianconero81]

Fuck Bonaventura It's 2018, not 2012.

We need upgrades, not squad fillers.

 

[pavluska]

Complaining about not signing Torreira is weird.

If you want us to sign a CDM/regista, wish for N'Zonzi instead. Guy has been playing at WC level for two seasons now and would actually make a difference. Would happily sell Pjanic for mega bucks and sign him instead. Age is the only factor.

Torreira would just be another Marchisio.

 

[Nedved96]

Torreira would just be another Marchisio.

I would be over the moon if Torreira turned out to be another Marchisio.

N’Zonzi is great but he’s pushing 30. I’d still take him though.

Instead of someone like Stu i mean. Bonaventura isn't a bad player.

So, you want us to improve the bench, which Marchisio is already riding and occupies, and not the starting XI?

I was thinking prime Marchisio

Eclectic italian

28 yr old, expensive (mediocre) bench player

No thanks

 

[JuveJay]

He's better than mediocre, and Max would bring the best out of his son, but he's definitely no priority and would use up resources.

 

[Xperd]

Exactly. He would be a very expensive bench option even if he's a good player.

 

[Orgut]

Instead of Stu isnt really reassuring.. We are talking about a guy that his connection to football is accidentally

 

[Xperd]

So we need a fullback revolution next season it seems.

Asamoah leaving is all but confirmed

Lichtsteiner will most likely be leaving too

Alex Sandro as well perhaps

That leaves us with De Sciglio and Spinazzola as the only two confirmed fullbacks next season for now

Potential options for RB :
Darmian
Bellerin
Meunier
Ricardo Pereira

Potential options for LB :
Jonas Hector
Wendell
Emerson Palmieri
Kurzawa

 

[Gian]

Bellerin is unreachable and I doubt PSG would sell Meunier. Also didnt Emerson Just signed for Chelsea?

Not sure he's even playing that much. Was only signed to please Conte. Once he leaves, Chelsea will probably be looking to cut their losses. I'm not sure i see a future for him there.
