Martial would probably be better than us than he was for United all this years, United has been a joke for the last decade.

I really rather keep Correa & Esposito as we are now than splash money on this 2 old forwards.

It's getting worse and worse. This should give us funds to sign someone like Pavard though - we'll probably still try to keep it under 20 million for a defender though.

I admire your optimism. Lord Beppe would approve.

We just need to come to terms that Zhang needs to sell the club to some rich fucker so we can afford big boy transfers. Untill then it's the 1 Dollar store for us or Bargains Galore.

If we can valuate Sensi at 5m, and add another 5m cash then add another 2m in bonus, for a total of 12m if all bonuses are achieved then it would be great.

I rate Arnautovic and am confident he's better than Dzeko last year, maybe not as clutch but better overall.

I also like Taremi, for 25m, it'd be acceptable. He's 31 and the kind of strikers who you guys would say will age very well i.e. smart, skillful, not rely on pace. I can see him play at top level until 35, if he stays professional of course. My only reservation is if he still can adapt to a new country and new tactics at his age.

Edit: bonus point to Taremi, his entire injury record:

holding Correa and Espositio AND signing a youngish startingXI material defender > Signing Taremi for 25-30 OR signing Aranutovic for 10-15

We are going to spend 25-30M and 5M gross for fucking Taremi. Its not a money problem, its a desicion one. So I cant blame Zhang, I blame Marotta and Ausilio.
With all due respect for Inzaghi, they need to do what best for the club. The best for the club in its current situation would be a young and promising prospect like Orban, Balogun, Wahi and etc.

Betting on 30yo+ strikers that one is injury prone and the other scored many goals in a league that Joao Mario scored 17 goals in it and every player we signed from that league was huge failure, its a shitty move that can cause us much damage.

It's how things stand atm i'm afraid. Liverpool splashing 120 mln on Caicedo, Bayern spending 120 mln on Kane and Madrid speding 100 mln on Bellingham. If you want to sign a topplayer or toptalent you must pay 80 mln tops. We can't compete anymore. The whole Serie A can't.

Imo we must be the guys selling those players for 80 mln tops. Sadly we only have 3 players in our squad who represent such value. And selling one of them would probably mean no CL money. That will cost us 50 mln too. We are in a fucked postion financial wise. We must qualify for the CL, so we need players who are ready now. But we also must create value by develop young talents. The top talents won't come for our budget. Even the older topplayers prefer to go to SA recently. What's left are the Taremi's and Arnautovic's from this world. And upcoming Serie A talents like Samardzic or Italians like Frattesi. At least atm.

The thing is, all of Serie A is on decline. Milan have taken huge risks this window and it'll be interesting to see how it pays out for them. Juve have made 1? Signing and still need to offload a lot more. Roma aren't much stronger and Tammy is out for a while. Lazio sold their best player. Napoli sold a key defender but to their credit have kept themselves largely intact. That being said losing Spalletti could be huge for them.


For us - for me the biggest risk is GK and CB right now. Sommer feels like he could be shit tier, and I'm glad at least we have a second choice who is roughly serie A level if we need. Our midfield tho

Lazio so far looks like they could surprise again.

Imo we have taken a lot of risks. Luckily for us we kept our starting 11 almost intact if you look at our last game vs City. But we are betting that Sommer will replace Onana (who had a lot of impact on improving our defensive setup imo), that Acerbi and Darmian have another year in them like last year, that Lautaro will step up as major goal scorer (as we can't expect much from Correa and Thuram scoring wise) and that Arnautovic (IMO he's the one who will come eventually) will stay healthy.

Don't have one.
If we pay 15M for him we we deserve to suck

View attachment 9420
Yep, and I don't blame bologna for asking 15 mil, they wanna find a proper replacement fast if he leaves, and they ain't gonna do that with alleged 5 or 8 mil. We should have just left it at 8 mil, that's max. amount i would pay for him, and i m one of the people who actually don't have problems if he comes, but for the right price.

For Roma Aouar and Ndicka can be great improvements.(over ibanez for sure) and they're +70 million on mercato so far, so huges signings can be made. i suspect they will jump over Lazio, who has no squad for CL+SerieA.

I see fuckin rubentus to go for title with disgusting allegriball, lots of 1-0 can make them.

milan has too may questionmark signings, some of them will flop. for first season i dont see them fly immediatley high.

Just play Samardzic as second striker, buy for Onana money one top defender. Stop embarassing yourself with Bologna and fucking corpse Arnautović.

but Lazio isn't alone. Napoli, Atalanta, Fiorentina, Milan are also doing good work so far and will surprise Serie-A.

I was surprised his name has not shown up by now

i would really like him honestly, he's that kind off "bet" that we should make and i don't care what others will think. I still remember when Lukaku was coming, a lot of people where complaining for the price. But i was sure he would do he's job and trusted Marotta/Conte because there was a really big project in that time. Simliar also with Sanchez or Darmian, at the end we got really good players from EPL. Martial has qualitys, im sure he could become helpfull.

There is absolutely zero sense in signing Arnautovic for 15 million. It borders on idiotic.
unpopular oppinion: if Scamacca is worth 30, Arna is worth 15. Of course i don't say that we should get him, but at least we would save 15M, get a defender and a player from the simliar level of Scamacca but just with more experience and not that expensive.. PERSONALLY i prefered Morata for 20M and i don't understand why they don't got him, there are not much alternatives for a good price and quality, he was at least decent imo.

EDIT!!!: didnt know that Arna was THAT OLD, holly shit :lol: well then i don't know if thats worth it, but it remains stupid as the scamacca deal yeah
