I am very appreciative of what they have done to bring in Vlahovic. I will not retract my statements that Arrivederci is a brutish oaf, but I am incredibly impressed with how quickly they wrapped the deal up. Definitely kings of the winter mercato, hands down!

Two problems:
1.) Mino Raiols is his agent, and we all know what that means if he does well for us (in 3-4 years he's a goner).
2.) His growth has stagnated somewhat.
Positives:
1.) He's very talented
2.) He's very young, so high resale value
3.) He can pass and tackle
4.) He is tall and somewhat physical
5.) Contract expiring in the summer of 2023, so we could probably get him for 30 million

Sell Benta Artur and Ramsey, or 2 of these, and bring Tchouameni and Nandez. That could be the perfect mercato. A man can hope after this thing with Vlahovic.
Tchouameni is enough. Nandez is unnecessary.
