Also, what about Fiorentina's Dodo?

He's pretty mediocre, but fast. Last time he played against us, I thought he was the only positive performance of Fiorentina.

Nonetheless, seems he has a lower football IQ than Dumfries.

Maybe Inzaghi can make something of him

I’ve never really watched this Buchanan guy that closely, but it’s hard to get excited watching his highlight reel.. hope we know what we’re doing if we go through with it.

At this point Bisseck has played so well we have to decide whether we really want to consider Djalo. Long term it's still probably a good move but I don't see the need to sign a RCB in January.

It might not be about Inter needing Djalo in January but rather about winning the race to sign him. Here`s the latest:

Gianluca Di Marzio claims on Sky Sport Italia today that Jubentus director Cristiano Giuntoli is increasing the push for Tiago Djaló and would be prepared to purchase the Portuguese talent in the January transfer window, albeit leaving him on loan for the rest of the season. That gives them an advantage over Atletico Madrid and Inter, who are waiting for his contract to expire and pick him up as a free agent over the summer.

This might easily turn into another Bremer case: Inter agreed with the defender long ago but juBentus step in with the cash and better promises.

Jube as always obsessed with our transfer targets. They should be really pissed watching Thuram now, considering that they could have tried to hijack him for free.

Djalo is not specifically RCB. He played mostly as LCB in the two-man defence for Lille before he got that bad injury, at least according to the transfermarkt (which might be incorrect).

Djalo for me at this point only makes sense if we think he can play in the middle, or if we believe Bastoni or Pavard can play in the center. We are fine at the wide CB positions with the those two + Darmian, and especially so now that Augusto and Bisseck have shown they are capable in these positions. Acerbi and De Vrij will need replacing sooner that later and that’s where we should be looking.

I get why we want to sign him, but if Juve are willing to pay up and he’s okay with the destination— he’s gone. That’s fine but I’m a bit worried about Juve getting a potentially dominant CB.
