JUVE, GOODBYE DOUGLAS
KOLO, THE GREEN LIGHT

Comolli enters the pitch and negotiates directly with Forest

Meeting between the GM and the boss Marinakis: more than 30 million for the bianconeri. The Frenchman trains with the #PSG reserves to join in top form. Locatelli, sirens from Saudi Arabia. Gasp wants him and Nico is reflecting: Roma destination.

Zhegrova: the Wild Card of #Juve

Contact with #Lille: a deal at 15 million but first Nico González should be sold.

Kolo, Molina and Zhegrova
Soon the trio.

zhegrova is injury prone. considering our track record with these kinds of players, it likely would be some $$$ straight down the drain

then again, it could be the test of comolli. he allegedly wanted to reform our whole training system to avoid the enormous amount of injuries

:boh:

Totally, if he fails we will struggle with Lazio to take him on a loan with option to buy which next year ofc wont be triggered and then we will struggle with some club like Cagliari to take him...
No more injury prone players, just avoid them.

I’m not sure he is “injury prone” he had ongoing groin pain which he had surgery for. I’m no expert on groin injuries but I thought once you have surgery you get rid of the pain. I’m willing to stand corrected if someone knows better about the subject.

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.
I think most dont understand how good Chico is. The guy is going to be second only to Yamal and aliens like him. To me Chico is way better than Zhegrova.
Sancho - producing wise - He is better than Zhegrova but there is that attitude and the fact he is British so when he does play well you can expect some EPL sides to pounce on him and he will surely leave.
Sancho`s mindset is a huge question mark

Also to add, I understand that Arnau Martinez is higher on the shortlist than Molina
Have no idea who he is but Molina to me is overrated. He would add nothing.
If we go for a RB we should look for someone who is solid defensively and good attackingly, otherwise we are just wasting money.
The Sporting dude seems very good attacking wise - Molina is probably not as good as him attacking wise while his defensive aspect was always suspicious to me.

Martinez - Just by his name I guess he is the same type but when I remove that predigious thoughts - I have no idea who he is and what are his pros and cons..

Locatelli here we go? :xfingers::tuttosport:

⚠️ Current status for Denis Zakaria to Al Ahli: deal frozen and considered off between all parties involved.

[Fabrizio Romano]
They say we turned down 25M for Locatelli - I see him as underrated by fans but maybe overly appreciated by his employers. I`d keep him for that sum.

We have Conceicao and Yildiz behind the striker and they each are strongest with their opposing feat. Ideally we need alternatives when you are playing >46 games a season. Currently we have no one close to their level unless you assume Muani (if he arrives) can play on the left but that dilutes his true value.

Zhegrova is a great alternative on the right but he never plays anywhere else but the right. Sancho is right footed and likes to play on the left. O’Riley plays more centrally and is more like a Koopmeiners style player and is left footed.

If one of Chico or Yildiz is injured or unavailable, we need options.

We currently have 5 players who could play in the 2 positions behind the forwards even if 2 of those were trying to offload (Conceicao, Yildiz, Koop, Luiz, Gonzalez).

We only have 2 competent centre backs with a 3rd who is ok if Bremer is with him. If Bremer is out, that back line is shockingly shit. We have one RWB and he is still a relative unknown and new.
Those positions should be far bigger priorities as the starters let alone the depth, are barely acceptable.

If I have to watch a game with a back 3 of Kelly, Rugani and Savona, then I think I’ll finally hit breaking point and turn off.

It should but those surgeries aren't necessary in many cases. But they often do it because for a professional footballer it's important to speed up the recovery period... It is not a certainty it won't ever return 'though.

A bit like a meniscal tear which is more commonly known; some really require surgery, some don't but most of the time they surgically remove the torn part to get it over soon. You can still hurt the other parts of it afterwards...

I would sell Loca's ass for 40 Milion in a second.

With the sale of Douglas Luiz for 30 and Loca for 40 we should bring Hjulmand or Ederson and another player like O'Reilly or whatever.

Too bad its the end of the mercato and we will do nothing of this. I expect the douglas luis deal to Nottingham to collapse any time now.
