[Badass J Elkann]

@Badass J Elkann @AndreaCristiano
Send me 3 names your sources say we’ll sign, and 3 we’re likely to sell. I’m launching the Best Guru of 2025 competition


Everyone starts from scratch.
Current participants:
– Badass (the reigning champ, odds-on favorite)
– AndreaCristiano (hungry challenger)
– Mark (former Ballon d'Or winner, nearing testimonial match)
– Alex444 (allegedly wired into the Russian web brigade)
– Lion (bald horse, or whatever that saying is)

Let the guru games begin.

I already said we wouldn't sign Chico some months ago when a certain someone was adament it was a "done deal" and keep an eye out on Pinamonti... Now junktoli is gone no SD it's anyone's guess right now.

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

Who took Pinamonti, you or "certain someone"?

So far we have:
Badass - we don't sign Conceicao
Lion - we sign Fabian Ruiz and we sell Di Gregorio

Junktoli was certainly interested in Pinamonti which a lot aren't aware of, there was even a hint of Pafundi, basically he wanted to bring an Italian attacker and they were the names.

Badass started offensively, like PSG in the CL final.

Ohhhhhhh, AC isn't Inter.

The two favs are evenly matched so far.

Ok, this is the deal. Not every guess or miss brings equal points.
- Conceicao: if we don't buy him +5pts, if we buy him -5 pts
Ramos: if we buy +7, if we don't -5
Retegui: if we buy +5, if we don't -5
Gyok: if we buy +30, if we don't -5
Donna: if we buy +50, if we don't -5
Selling: Perin +2/-3, Di Gregorio +10/-5, Vlahovic +3/-10

Can I play too?

My sources tell me

Out:

Vlahovic

Doug Lulz

Juan cabal



In:

Jonathan David

Retegui

Leoni

 

[Badass J Elkann]

Selling Di Gregorio just doesn't make sense to me

David is far more likely than Gyokeres imo, partly because Napoli, mostly Conte doesn't want him.

Luiz is almost certainly out, not a Tudor type player, if Mancini was hired i'd think the opposite.

 

[Stevie]

Virtually identical

Rumors you know how they are. What they are saying is it’s two fold. Digregorio has a nice market value and Gigio is ready to leave PSG and would love to play for Juventus but as with most of these rumors a lot of salt is warranted

 

[Stevie]

Donna's contract runs out June 2026 and he doesn't want to accept a reduced salary.

He may just be breaking PSGs balls or else he might be happy to leave on a free next season.

Giving De Gregorio another year and making a move for Donna next summer if he doesn't renew seems like a sensible choice

But if he is only going to be available this summer then I think we should go for it.

 

[Rockets]

Wait, where's Lion? Perma banned?

Wait, where's Lion? Perma banned?

unless there was a change in the settings or the forum engine, if you @ someone and their name comes up as a suggestion, then it usually means they're not even banned

try to @ marc (permabanned) or lion and see what happens

You sure? You're up against licensed professionals. I'm not sure that you have the right people at the right places to survive this game.
I will let you play, of course, but don't end up hanging yourself when these pros tear you apart.

I'm in too. I won't make any predictions, so I'll start and I'll finish with 0 points. But I'm here.

01. Mercato GOATs (Badass) 0 points
02. Free Mason Crusaders (AndreaCristiano) 0 points
03. Absolute Virgins (Mark) 0 points
--------------------
04. Alen 0 points (host)
--------------------
05. Kyle 0 points (Joined from the lower divisions. Still no name and sponsor)
06. Gulag Globetrotters (Alex-444) 0 points
07. Ottawa Headshines (Lion) 0 points

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

@Alen up to his 2011 levels of fuckery again.

You absolutely love to see it.

But I think you’re missing the main man and the source behind all of Badass’ mercato victories.

Why I’m talking about @Magnifico Arturo of course

I see. So he's not banned. Then the only explanation is he is taking Inter's loss to heart till now and don't want to log in on tuz. Or maybe he is lurking, suffering.

 

[cimenk]

Really like both Leoni and Coppola. Based on eye test against us and Napoli, Leoni really stood out.

But Coppola also very interesting. He looked strong and more like Bremer. We should be able to get at least one of them as our target CB
