Winter mercato thread 2026 (60 Viewers)

Depending on the conditions, i think we shouldve accepted and instead use openda's bounce money on defence/mid

I would've passed on Chico tbh and used the money on a DM.

If we'd had a plan we could have done a lot of things. When we made the decision to get Chico permanently there's no way we also knew we'd be getting Openda and Zhegrova.

I'm fairly happy with the squad as it is but it's very transparently been put together in a rudderless fashion. We're better off imo with those two instead of Kolo which was not the plan. The area we most desperately need reenforcement is out wide imo. Second week of the season we were already playing Kalulu out of position

Midfielder, CB, RB and goalkeeper in order of priority.

The team won't feel complete to me unless all of these positions are sorted.

 

[Robee]

Everything points towards these attacking additions serving us well. Not many complaints here.

As far as the winter mercato goes, I'd say RB is the obvious priority. A quality midfielder should be adressed in the summer. It's unlikely there will be many realistic and good opportunities in the winter mercato...

But it all depends on our run of form 'till then. Good or bad...

Openda isn’t a RW I think, Zhegrova hasn’t played in a long time. Not a huge fan of Chico, but he’s starting games when fit

Should had just sold Loca to Saudi and get Ederson or than Danish dude instead

For those in the know, why is disasi frozen out of the Chelsea squad

Chelsea wanted to sell him to various sides but he said no. Apparently he wants to go back to Monaco.

David sucks
Openda is a pace merchant
We still don't have a competent CM next to Thuram
Why did we piss away Baio and Weah for Mario
We play a formation with wingbacks and only have 3 (with one being a Portuguese plumber and the other being shipped back by Fenerbahce)
Why the f did we extend Gatti?
We're f*cked with DL and Nico return from loan


This club is done, regardless of today's result. How the hell is this club winning a league title in the coming 5 years with these friggin transfer choices?

Comolli should resign.

Because Maresca's dad is a fisherman...

Calma.

We're unbeaten while the squad settles.

Only if we can get rid of Koop.

Straight swap with Locatelli

We have a Boy Scout team.

There is no leader or an experienced player

The wig had Pirlo Buffon and Alex Barza

Euromax was just riding on this luggage


another zero season

Straight swap with Locatelli

Our Curly Sue is not going anywhere outside of Italy

He's got a kid, he's a father now.

This guy smells like another Koopmeiners.

BUT he's a slav so that's in his favour. Are there no Uruguayan CMs we can pick up?

Hopefully. We could use another Fabian O'Neill.

His difficulties with alcohol are told as a cautionary tale in the paisito. Meanwhile:

 

[Catenaccio]

If I had to list priorities it would central defender number 1 even before a midfielder and a wing back. That much should be pretty clear already based on goals conceded this season so far.
