GK: Di Gregorio, Perin, Pinsoglio
LCB: (Veiga?), Cabal, Kelly
CCB: Bremer, Savona, Rugani
RCB: Gatti, Kalulu
LM: Cambiaso, Rouhi, Kostic
LCM: Thuram, Koopmeiners
RCM: Locatelli, (O'Riley?), McKennie, Adzic
RM: J.Mario, (Molina?), Gonzalez
LW: Yildiz, Miretti
RW: Conceicao, (Zhegrova? Sancho?)
ST: Kolo Muani, David, Vlahovic, Milik

Transfer priorities ranked by me:
  1. Need a left footed starter CB if we can replace Kelly. Can only think of Veiga
  2. Need a CM backup like O'Riley or something.
  3. Need a right midfielder in like Molina
  4. Nice to add another creative/winger type of player to rotate with Conceicao/Yildiz
  5. Nice to have better backup LM than Rouhi. Unless we trust in Rouhi..
1 - yes
2 - We need a holding midfielder more than an O'Riley
3 - we need someone better than Molina and Joao Mario
4 - Zhegrova would be ideal
5 - yes but its becoming apparent Kostic is going to be that guy unfortunately.

I don't think Kessie is financially viable, he would need to take at least 50% wage cut and he'd still be one of our highest earners then
Hjulmand and Florentino also out of our price range imo
If these are the options I pass.
Hjulmand to me is Poulsen 2.0 - Yeah I know he performs at Sporting and he does have qualities but overall I see him as overrated.
Florentino who? (Im seriously asking. Didnt figure out who the player is)
Kessie - He is good but not the type I want here. I mean I dont think he would do well here.

J.M - Honestly I dont know how to rate him at this point. I thought we are getting a goof but he did very well. Still need to assess how good he is.
Zhergova - He can do tricks but is he that effective? His stats show he could do better on assists.

Florentino of Benfica
Joao Mario I still don't trust to be good enough to start no matter what the friendlies suggest, I'd like someone who is far more defensively sound than him
Well its either Zhegrova or we go back in for Sancho as it stands, I don't think Sancho fits our system as well as Zhegrova can.

Sancho is perhaps the better player but I guess I rather Zhegrova. Not sold on any of them to be honest
Florentino - I have no memory regarding him so I have no clue I guess

Zhegrova is pretty much a like for like replacement for Chico, I think their numbers add up fairly similarly too. Sancho, there are just far too many question marks about his form and mindset.

So if they sell luiz, they go after o’riley and if they sell nico they go after zhegrova? Zhegrova doesnt really make sense as a wingback. Maybe its one or the other and they sign someone else if they sell nico

Momblano:
Juventus was able to have the YES of the players in front of Marseille. Juve asked Zhegrova a bit of time.
Zhegrova is at the moment only waiting for Juve and not for Marseille. OM could risk to lose the player.
But PAY ATTENTION because it all depends on an exit.
What I couldn't understand is if only Douglas Luiz only is enough to finalise the Zhegrova deal.
Juve could sign him for 15/20M. Marseille already agreed (before Juve joining the race) on a 2M salary deal with the player.

I imagine the wingbacks are Kostic, Cambiaso, Joao Mario and Mckennie. Zhegrova would certainly be an attacking mid/ winger
