Atalanta will not sell anyone cheap, so it is better not to deal with them at all. We take Lindelof and don't get out of it.

I hope this isn't true... I haven't seen him play, but I've watched this movie before.

Buchanan will probably come in, get more opportunities than Bellanova has this season and his performances won't justify the opportunities.

So, basically we are going to spend 15 mln on worse version of Bellanova, who costs 7 mln.
Epic 🤔

Not sure how good your English is mate, but I didn't say that.

If we sign the guy, I'm sure we make him look good and sell him for profit to EPL like we will do with Dumfries.

I read somewhere, probably gds, that our main priority for that Skriniar spot is still Scalvini.

Buchanan isn't similar to Bellanova imo. Granted, I've only watched him for Canada, but the only comparison with Bellanova is speed, although Bellanova is faster. Buchanan is a a good dribbler and more technical than Bellanova. However, he's a pure winger imo and not a wingback. I can't speak on his performances for Club Brugge, but he was one of Canada's best players in the qualification to the World Cup - although that may not be saying much given the competition :)

Since it’s Atalanta we could probably do some sort of loan “option” with the payments spread out. Given the rumored sales of Dumfries/ Brozovic/ Onana or god forbid Barella/ Bastoni, we could probably make it happen if we wanted to.

Gosens also will be sold...

Timber (Ajax) is reportedly also available for around 25-30 million. He’s certainly not having his best season (although his partners in defense don’t really help either) and he made a deal last season with Ajax.

For those number he is a no brainer, but i’m afraid a lot of other clubs will be interested too.

I have not watched Buchanan obviously. But those descriptions and comments are quite similar to those of Cancelo. Hopefully he surprises all of us.

Dumfries / Darmian -------- ???? / Dambro --------- ????? / De Vrij (or Acerbi if it's cheaper) ----------- Bastoni / Darmian ----------- Dimarco / Gosens
--------------------------------- Barella / Miki ------------------- Brozovic / Asllani --------------------- Cala / Miki ----------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------- Lautaro / Correa --------------------- ???? / Dzeko -------------------------------------------------------

I think we are missing at least 2 CB's, one strong, tall, and the other one Akanji type to play on the right.
