We're still negotiating with Ramsey regarding his severence pay

Arthur will probably leave on loan

Rovella is also leaving on loan

There is talk of a Rabiot-Paredes swap (Unnecessary and a useless transaction)
Probably

We need 3 or 4 midfielders to leave to make room for Paredes.

Yet they're telling me we can't sell Pellegrini

Totally get what you're saying but just judging by the rumors, atleast those 3 midfielders have shown a willingness to leave unlike Sandro or Pellegrini

I hope we can force one of them out and take a chance on a young LB but that doesn’t seem to be happening this year.

Selling Arthur, Rabiot and Ramsey is exactly why we're not moving right now. Teams aren't desperate for them. They're backup options if their preferred ones don't work out, at best.

I don't expect many moves right away but if we can get those guys off our books, I'd expect nothing less than another starting caliber player.
If we sell those and only and up with Paredes, that'd be very disappointing.
Lets not kid anyone, Arthur or Ramsey won't be sold this summer.

Best we can hope for with Ramsey is a modest golden handshake, but realistically we might have to pay at least a half his yearly salary to get rid of him. After what he's shown on Juve and Eintracht on his next contract that dude isn't going to get much, not dealing with this last summer was a disaster imo, we could've saved a lot more then.

Arthur might be possible to move on a long loan deal with reasonable conditions to make it an obligation to buy, I don't think we're going to sell him outright, would be a huge loss on the books.

The squad and starting team is still awful balance-wise. Just awful. And the Paredes and Morata rumours is kind of sad, really.

They got supposed difference makers in Vlaho, Chiesa, Di Maria, Pogba. Now they should simply fill the huge left side hole with solid, athletic and hungry young-ish players, like the McKennie signing.

But no, they have to go after an overpaid player like Morata who is NOT a natural fit at the left side, and a washed mercenary injury prone like Paredes, who we will be desperate to offload in one year. All the usual suspects. Can't think outside the box a little bit, which is quite disappointing for a club with so many resources.

I think the biggest problem is who they are after right now, after doing a good job so far.

Experience says these rumours which are widespread (Morata and Paredes) tend to be confirmed.

He played like 17 games, 21 games, and 15 games including as subs in Ligue 1 for the last 3 season (19/20, 20/21, 21/22). He also not quite good based on number of assist or goals.

I wonder what we are looking for in him. High wages 7m, not young anymore.
The only reasonable thing is swap with Arthur.
Also with scenario like Arthur swap, I do prefer Arthur. Arthur is younger and lesser wages

Signing Paredes is bad enough, but signing him with an obligation to buy is insanity. That's just replacing deadwood with deadwood in midfield. It's an act of sabotage.

Is it an Allegri request? I want to be sure. Otherwise the Allegri nut huggers will come out in full force proclaiming that such a signing should be blamed on management and that the esteemed 2 time CL runner-up could not have possibly asked for this inconsistent injury prone turd on high wages and with no potential resale value to join our beloved Juventus.

Are Morata and Parepiss Allegri requests? If so, what purpose do they serve and how can we defend such signings? Why do we even have a fucking scouting department?

Balanced opinion? He's an inconsistent injury prone lethargic Faggot on insane wages and no resale value. 3 goals and 9 assists in 113 appearances for PSG - hasn't played more than 25 games a season in over 3 years. A totally unnecessary, redundant and superfluous purchase.
