Meh to Suarez and Cavani as freebies, loan Kean back for a year or two and try for Boadu for example...

Much rather a 19 y old for 30 mil fee and a teenage salary than a has-been with 12-15 mil wage per year with a two-year contract..
That “has been“ Suarez scored 21 goals in 36 appearances this season, including 5 in 7 CL games.

Kean sucks. We need someone that can be trusted on to start/play a lot.

I dont think Suarez`s talent and what he can do is the question here but more of wages. I highly doubt Suarez would accept a 5M a year deal with short term contract

If we can get Kean on a loan with option that’s what we should do so we can concentrate our efforts onto midfield and fullbacks.

Getting Kean back would also effectively give us +1 player on the CL list.

Suarez on a free would be interesting if we had to.

Yeah Keane would be a pointless signing. He would add absolutely nothing to us apart from maybe reducing the raw numbers on the average age of the squad.

If I were in charge of transfer I'd go balls deep to bring back Vidal on a 3 year deal. We lack a destroyer/tackler, prolific scorer and playmaker in our midfield.. Well Vidal is all those 3 combined in 1. His transfer fee might not be too excessive as Barca wants get rid of him.

Okay, then why are they terminating him? Like some said, his qualities are not in question here, he might even score 25 goals in 35 games next season if he comes to Serie A or he might suck and get a career ending injury on a nice evening at the Olympico in Rome.

He doesn't fit Barca's project, if they even have one, and surely doesn't fit ours. We lost a year that could have been used as a start for a rejuvenation, now with the young staff it's about time to get rid of the oldies and bring young faces, so once again it's just my opinion that a highly potential youngster is better than an established and decorated 33+ y old player (obviously with the exception of say Messi and Lewandowski).

And don't really want to start a discussion on hypotheticals, but even if I agree that Kean is average, we don't really need someone that can be trusted to start a lot, we already have that someone with the number 10 on his back, we need his backup that is also the Plan B or Plan C. Or this is what I think the club needs atm, which is irrelevant as what matters here is what Pirlo thinks and wants, since he is yet to debut as a manager it's all a game of guessing...

Let's wait and see what he'll say tomorrow, surely there would be a lot of questions...

PSG lacked a real number 9 yesterday, would have been a different result with him on the pitch imo.
Icardi sucked hard against Atalanta.He looked completely lost out on the pitch which would explain why he couldn't even get minutes ahead of Chopou-Mouting (who was actually alright whenever he came on) in the following games.

You essentially want to rejuvenate the squad with a 33 yr old and a 34 yr old filling key positions. Vidal is washed up mate.
That team with that formation is waiting to be hammered by elite teams in the Champions league.
Even if Dzeko is somewhat acceptable as a short term, the midfield definitely needs long term fixing, not yet another band-aid signing.

Just move on, I give up. People want Kean back (a flop with no talent) but Icardi (wc) is not good enough. Not long ago Madrid was showing interest in him, but what do they know? Tuz knows better, right? :baus:
