Mercato Team (Ausilio, Marotta, & Co.) and Strategies

[crzdcolombian]

Not sure if it is by design or things not going managements way..... but so far.... outside of only having like 14 field players and a 3rd string goalie........

We are at A- Mercado. Like I wouldn't have resigned De Vrij. Especially for more than 1 season + 1 season option for half his wages but other than that

Got rid of Handas wages( should be our 3rd keeper at a low salary + 1 year deal), Dzeko (OMG THANK THE LORD), Lukaku (35 M+ transfer + 8 M net wages) + D'Am/Gags/ Dalbert leaving on free transfer. No golden handshakes

Resigned Calha + Bastoni to lock them here for a few more seasons. + 50 million for a player were paid $0 for + $0 for a promising striker(that we over paid in salary potentially) + Frattesi for a 6m loan. Hopefully management rethinks sending out so many players on loan and just keeps them for the bench.

Now the hard part. with 50m what are we going to do with it since people know we have the money and are in serious need of a bench (our bench was utter shit last season) and a starting GK + potentially a CB to challenge for a starting spot + a Strker to challenge for a starting spot as well.

Those of you crying about Brozo..... our best offer was 18m. No EPL interest and only broke ass Barca asking us to wait till end of August if they sell a bunch of players and can't find a better one for 18m.

Balogun isn’t American in the same way McKennie or Pulisic is. He is English and played for the English youth national teams and Arsenal. He just happens to have been born in New York City. He only declared to play the the US a few months ago after being heavily courted. The US will allow him to be a starter now, essentially the same reason he’s looking to leave Arsenal.

He kinda is Nigerian though but whatever

 

[nutsncider]

I mean, you'll be hard pressed to find an America who has ever played for a big club. McKennie and Pulisic are the only examples.

Dempsey, Howard, and Bradley all had respectable careers.

Onyewu (spelling) player for Milan at some point, if you consider that a big club.

40m for Balogun when we could probably get Hojlund for 50m plus a couple of kids. I know which deal I would prefer.

What makes you think we can get Hojlund for that money and a couple of kids? Also it depends on who the kids are - I don't see Atalanta giving us a favourable term over another team, why would they?

Recent rumours also say that do not want any counterparts in the deal, and it would be closer to 70 million. Atalanta recently sold Christian Romero for over 50 million and he was a central defender. Hojlund is considered one of the biggest talents especially since he broke into Denmark's starting lineup and already scored consistently in the first few games.

Don't get me wrong - I'd love if we can get him for 50 million plus a few youngsters, but I feel this is more of our hope than any report actually confirming Atalanta would accept a deal like that.

 

[CoolMan44]

how can man u afford hojlund money when they give money limitation reason when signing onana?

inter getting dupe?

I believe their limitation is that they can spend 150 million pounds without sales. Mount + Onana together was about 100 million, leaving another 50 million pounds (close to 60 million euros) for a striker. I think if they sell some of their players (Fred, McTominay, etc.) they have more money for transfers.

You've heard of the Milanification of inter, now wait for the juvefication of inter

 

[Jusef]

I think the Inter management need to get the striker they need, even if it’s on the expensive side.

At the moment, I think there is a good possibility that PSG or whomever will make a serious offer for Lautaro, and Inter will be forced to sell.

Better to buy now than risk overpaying and scrambling near the end of the transfer window.

Man ,we are still 2 goalkeepers, 2 strikers, 1 midfielder, 1 defender short.
I really hope management are not counting in shitters like Radu, Sensi.

 

[El Matador]

Sell Dumfries and Correa
Sign Balogun, Cancelo on Loan, a RCB (using Dumfries money)
Use Fabbian as our 6th Mid.

End the Mercato

Who is the 5th midfielder?

 

[Corrode]

Asllani, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mikhitaryan, Frattesi, Fabbian/Sensi?Agoume. Those are 6 (places) midfielders.

 

[brehme1989]

Asllani, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mikhitaryan, Frattesi, Fabbian/Sensi. Those are 6 midfielders.

Asllani is not Inter material.

Sensi is very good when he plays, but unreliable and cannot be trusted to be fit.

Fabbian is a gamble that just needs to be around for training rather than official games.

So that's 4 and one of them is 34-35 whose played more than he should have last season.

Sell Dumfries

How? Even the Saudis do not want him.
