i think we still need a midfielder just for rotation to fill the squad, needs to be useful, not like klaasen/sensi.

with no money that is a youth player role. We need to spend on a 4th striker or a Central CB with our main 2 options being super old. Even then those roles will all probably be youth player roles. New owners dont want old players on free transfer for 2-3 season at 3+ million net a season

“Tessmann is out of our project at Venezia,” director of sport Antonelli told Il Gazzettino newspaper.

“It has been a difficult week, try to understand me here. I am above all sorry for the player, as he put himself into this situation. At this moment, he is off the list of players at the disposal of coach Eusebio Di Francesco, but that is his decision and does not depend on us.

“He continues to train with the rest of the squad, but his mind at this moment is just not there. Our approach to Serie A has not changed, we prefer to have players who are strongly motivated to play with the Venezia jersey and fully committed to our project, otherwise it’s better to get someone else.”

Asked if there was a way back for Tessmann, Antonelli added, “We’ll see, anything is possible. If the transfer window closes and Venezia is the only remaining option, then we’d have to evaluate what to do, but he would need to roll his sleeves up and get back with a completely different attitude.”

What a tool this guy is. He messed up 2 great transfers and is frozen out in Venezia.

This Tessmann thing sounds like he's signed a contract with an agency who just tries to maximize their profits. I don't know, the whole thing doesn't make any fucking sense. Player cannot be THIS out of touch. There just be something with the agent, him running the show and acting tough and losing his battles with the clubs. :D

Yes, it's often the agents who push the agenda by promising the player the world and then collapsing deals because they themselves cannot the pay out they are seeking.

Based on transfermarkt the vast majority of their clients play in Americas. Tessmann is by far the best asset of the very few clients who play in Europe. They probably saw him as the golden goose who would bring the big bucks to the agency. Their golden opportunity. Well it didn't work like that.

They didn't do their own research. Italians do not have extra money for some greedy americano when they are trying to shop their Serie B player.

That kind of guy is why the rest of the world hates Americans. Reeks of an unearned sense of entitlement.

haha the amount of people at work saying Hey Dave do you think we will win the World Cup Champions now that we have a top coach.

I was like dude isnt a top coach and even if you had the worlds best coach(you dont have him) and send Real Madrid to the World Cup its no guarantee you will win even if its at home

Damn if we could get Gundogan that would be epic with Chiesa also
And getting rid of Correa and Arnautovic and 1 midfield (Fratessi or Asllani)

Gundogan one leg alone is better than all our midflields
Where would he fit? Someone would have to leave. Mkhi is not going anywhere on Simone’s watch.
