Any news why Del Piero was there today?

He's switching bodies with Openda.

Any news why Del Piero was there today?

His son Tobias was with him, he plays for a Serie D side, I wonder if he's facilitating a move to Next Gen.

That was quite unfortunate as Bremer seemed almost surprised by the strength of the challenge and lost his footing.

On another note, i’ve only ever seen Osimhen winning this type of physical battles with Bremer, this Openda dude must be a real physical beast despite his height.

PSG has said they aren’t accepting low bids all summer. It’s Cumolli’s fault for being so stupid to keep pushing for a player when they said no the entire time. And it’s not even his original target. Dude has no ideas.

And neither does PSG.


They overplayed their hand allegedly demanding 60-65m obligation from us.



Only to end up loaning him to Tottenham for 5m dry loan.

To meet our new signing(s)

Barido is whatever, he wasnt a standout this past season. Guys like Destiny and Corigliano have leaped ahead of him on the organizational prospect list imo. Theyre the gems, at least attack wise. Hes closer to Hasa than Yildiz.

Quoting just for reminder, when you inevitably change your tune completely if it turns out he resigns with Juve.

Somewhere at Continassa...

Barido is leaving, and we've accepted that so best we can do is insert a 50% sell on.

PSG were after him this summer, we told them no, If Napoli want him, pay up 30 mill and a big sell on clause, and tell the player himself to shut the fuck up and get back to work.

He'd be great in a futsal team with his skills, but seriously he's not ready for European football.

Makes us look like fools, IMO.

He's pushing out, on his last year contract and from the reports we are highly likely to accept. Therefore a high sell on fee is the only way we can make some money back. Its nipples but atleast we get what we deserve here while they have to turn him into a proper player.

The bigger fools in this scenario is PSG tho?


They clearly overplayed their hand. Granted we shouldn't get dry loan like Tottenham because we just had a season of exactly that. But if they had lowered their demands to the 40m we paying for an Openda who scores and assists more then Kolo past 2 seasons, then maybe they would gotten decent sum for him.


But they end up with 5m dry loan instead. I assume they demanded 60-65m obligation because close plus or breaking even in their books after signing him for 95m couple years ago.


They prolly did a desperate cheap loan now again, so his book value can get lower for another year, and they can sell him for less next summer and dont take as big of a hit in their books as they would have now.

I disagree. It makes PSG look like fools not us.

Comolli made Campos look silly?


BLASPHEMY!

Oh man don't get me excited

 

[Leendiz]

If he doesn't have a great season at spurs (which with their record is possible) then where does that leave psg? With no sale and likely only more loan offers so no i would say they lost out here more than us

Akanji to Inter on Loan + 15m option. why we didn't sign him?

The sort of player I think would have a better career in Portugal than in one of the top European leagues. If he can adapt to play into systems then sure he could be a really big prospect but having skill and ability is only half the battle.
