We have an unwanted mediocre player and there’s only 1 party interested. We can’t walk away from the negotiation table. How are we supposed to negotiate then? 0 leverage. It was the same with DL

it looks like we won’t make any major signings. I think the starting lineup is okay, except for the LCB , and it could compete for the Scudetto and even for a top 8 spot in Europe with good draw. But the main problem is our bench, just one or two injuries, and we’ll be struggling to fight for 4th place. our squad isn’t built to compete on three fronts.

That’s quite a divergence in opinions you have there, buddy. If only we had a bench then you’d be saying we would fight for the Champions League.

What I mean is, even if our starting lineup stays injury free and they plays all matches, it can at most fight for the Scudetto and reach the top 8 in the Champions League. But because our bench is weak, we’ll definitely run into problems. On paper, the starting 11 looks good, but it’s unlikely we’ll always have that lineup, and the bench isn’t strong enough. The gap between our key starters and the bench is really big and I think this weakness is going to make the season very difficult.

Why do we keep trying to sign players from the most expensive locations? Premier League sides, Red Bull. Frickin’ Red Bull is not going to sell any of their players below market value because they don’t have to. We’re just fucking retards.

Kolo is not worth 65m. It's another bandaid. He's not a 9.

He is a fine player but not the savior. He can become an anchor very easily.

Make vlahovic play. Our team is better with Bremer and Tudor, Vlahovic will score as a backup just fine.

Scrape 4th place and the books are clear next year. We have to cut the cycle of bandaids holding us hostage.

The reason we lose deals is because we never have leverage. Because we're full of unsellables.

Nope. Disagree with everything.

I would say there are zero world class players in this starting eleven excluding a healthy, in form Bremer (remains to be seen how good he will be post injury)

A backline of Gatti-Bremer-Kelly with average to good/decent at best players sprinkled everywhere is not an example of 'looks good' for me.

Coach matters as well. Our entire club from management to squad screams average atm.

Challenging for top 4 and making top 16 of CL is the best this team can hope for.

The #Juventus on #KoloMuani is continuing to work on it, Juve has not lost hope and continues to talk every day with PSG. The Frenchman wants Juve, it is his desire. To unlock this operation, it is important to manage to make some exits. A problem could be Vlahovic, tied to this operation if he is not sold. [

“Edon #Zhegrova will stay with us this season. I haven’t received any offers. The Italian media tend to exaggerate: there is no agreement or negotiation in progress. I know Damien Comolli very well, and we’ve spoken several times since he took on the role at Juventus. There were some discussions a few weeks ago, the door might have been more open then, but today my position is clear: Edon stays.”
I'd say these everyday negotiations with PSG must be mostly small talk now, considering it's been over two months.
