2022/2023 Defenders Rumours Thread

[NimAraya]

yes I was sure of Dybala but I guess Sanchez was terminated too late. If the reports are true, Dybala has a 15M release clause that could be activated whenever there is a need for a forward of his profile.

We know the story with Bremer: Jubentus sold before Inter, so had the money and need to replace.

I`m perfectly happy with Skriniar staying (confirmed on top level) while whoever will be coming as Frog replacement doesn`t matter much, as he will have little impact (just a backup).

Forget Dybala to Inter. At least until he's 33.

Dortmund fans can't wait to get rid of Akanji, they believe the riddance will be like winning the league. Are we sure about this candidate?

Grande, the top 2 candidates touted by Inter are one Dortmund can't wait to get rid of and an El Cheapo who's face already graces posts here

Getting Akanji would be a huge addition to the squad. He is out of the bvb squad because he didnt want to prolong his contract with bvb and the club is butthurt now. you think he played the most games in their defense last season because he was so bad? he was injured in the first 2 games of switzerland in the nations league and they conceded 6 goals. after his return into the squad they conceded 1 goal vs spain and portugal, he completely changed the game of the whole team by bringing much needed confidence and calmness into the defence, it ws crazy! if we can get him he will be in the starting 11 in no time, ill bet anything on that.

Akanji? Fine.

It depends on the role you want to give him. Akanji as a backup or even starting as rcb next to Skriniar is fine. Akanji as a Skriniar replacement is a big downgrade.

Isn't there any other CBs available for free or cheap in the entire galaxy? Why are we so hooked on two names?

All the good ones have long been taken. Now the only decent options you can find are guys like Acerbi, Zagadou, Denayer, Akanji, Ndicka, Inigo Martinez who are either free or have only one year left. It's a real shame as there were many quality cbs in this free agency but we couldn't snatch anyone.

There are for certain other cheap talented defenders around in the world. Our management limits themselves to looking at italy and the mayor European markets...

 

[dynasty27]

Raoul Albiol would be available

 

[Capo]

Surely there is a young CB italian talent, Viti or even in Ligue 1/Eredivisie/Bundesliga/HNL???

Why a bloke who has done his knee's and not really done fuck all since. Acerbi can EAD!!!

is Inzaghi retarded?

The answer is short and clear... YES

I guarantee you Limone will be working in the fucking Turkish league in 2 years for a team that nobody knows the name of. Just like Pirlo and Montella.

I think yes but coaches always try to recruit old guys, not only in football because they know those guys, don’t new to figure out how to know and use them, safe choicr. That’s why we have sporting director running the show, keep coaches in place, not like what Man Utd is giving Ten Hag freedom of choice right now.

 

[Ethor]

Grande, management and the owner had a tiff about not signing Bremer according to reports, now the coach and management arguing about Ranocchia's replacement, things going swimmingly at Casa Inter.

 

[KDog]

Truth is, it's the other way around tho.. Inzaghi really wants Akanji.

[Corrode]

one point is clear, management want to choose and sign who is cheaper, Acerbi or Akanji, or Mr random 404 guy.

 

[MKSerbia]

Is Akanji fast, because we desperately need that type of player in defence?

 

[pupivn]

“Defender only wants Inter … willing to extend his contract” hmm I heard sth similar before
