Its nice to see an Italian team with Italian core but this is not the time as Italian generation is crap nowadays...
Chiesa is good but isnt what we need to increase our level
Barella is definitely not an upgrade over who we got and Tonali... I guess he is for the future but I didnt see anything too special about him besides his hair which resemblance A.Pirlo...

Loan with option or no deal... (no obligation or pernament deal)

P.S if someone read the FI news about Pogba - it seems like old news that someone used and presented them as news..
Pogba definitely wants to come back but he is also being respective to Man Utd...

Obviously they won't upgrade our first eleven, very few players would and they cost 100mln+. That's the thing to buy them now while they're cheaper as we can afford to wait till they develop.

BT asked Eriksen if he feels contract negotiations are leading to less minutes at Tottenham, and he said: “You must ask the coach about that. I don’t know that.”

With just over 18 months left on his current deal, one of Mauricio Pochettino’s star men does not feel that his future at the north London club is under any sort of threat.

“I have not felt that they would throw me out yet [says with a big smile]. It’s a business for the club, but it’s not something I’ve thought about,”the Dane explained.

Links to Toulouse young CB...Todibo.

It looks like Paratici took "Offense wins you games, defense wins you championships" too literally. He forgot about midfield.

Yes.. he has been our main man now for 0 mercatos, it's about time he starts to deliver.

There are? I have't followed mercato that closely and I only know of Pogba and Barella, both of whom I can't see us getting.
Who else?
Edit: forgot about Rabiot.

what do you think about Pulisic @DAiDEViL @lgorTudor @Jethro and @Wittl i guess? (not sure if he watches BL). havent seen him play in 2 years

- - - Updated - - -

but de Ligt, Barella, Chiesa sounds good enough to me. de Gea tho, where does that come from?

 

[Mark]

because he's free...

oh wait!

I was sure they'd make use of their option (and they still might in the end), but he kinda looks like a Fremdkörper in that team. If that's down to him or Bayern, i don't know, possibly a mixture of both, but joining Bayern in such a turbulent period (for their standards) sure didn't help him settle in.

I really don't know. KHR and other players rate him highly, at the end of last season he said that we will make that deal permanent. But i don't believe we'll give him back to Madrid, we can still sell him with profit if we want to get rid of him. He was our best player last season, and it's always the same case with James when we're in bad form. He wants to leave, bad relationship with coach, board etc.

He's been on the Bayern radar for a while. Hoeness said that we will change "face" of the team next summer and i believe he'll be considered as a potential Robbery replacement.

By the way, i doubt we'd enter the bidding wars with EPL teams if there are clubs interested in him.

thats what set you guys back so much. you let so many potential great players from the BuLi go because of that stubborn policy. we paid 90M for freakin Higgy, im sure Bayern has enough financial power to keep the likes of de Bruyne, Firmino, Sane etc. in Germany, if only they were willing enough to

 

[Nedved96]

Ndombele would be a dream signing. Unfortunately the PL clubs are after him.

I’d be happy with Barella and Tonali.

 

[Osman]

I don't know about you guys, but in last 3 summers, we spent 94m and 117m on single player deals. And spent 40m+ on players we have on the bench. And have significantly better appeal in the market as big CL team, so I think the days of us being nervous about losing out to EPL every time in the market is behind us. If the management values a player well enough, they will invest what's necessary.

evidently some people still think it’s 2010 and not 2018. Our appeal to top players and our willingness to spend money on top players has changed dramatically.

 

[pavluska]

Interestingly, Todibo, Balerdi, Mitrovic, Mancini, AND Andersen can all play as DM according to Transfermarkt.

If Benatia really pushes for a move in Jan, wonder if we'll replace him with one of the above to act as both 5th CB and 6th CM.

Don't need another winger, but I'd sell and make way for Pulisic. He can be our entry into the US market. Rather get him than Chiesa. Latter is Italian, but gaining market share in the US is much more important, and current strategy is all about gaining global market share.

Currently, we're tied with Tot'num.
