Hernadez will leave in the summer, Simeone already said he could go in January if his release clause was triggered (Bayern is the main club) Manuel Akanji was signed a year ago, to a 4 and half year contract, but he is deffo capable of being prised away. He has been injury though. I just put KK in as he is the best CB in the world, and thsi summer, IF his price was lowered from the insane 135m euros (which the Poison Dwarf will never get) down to £80m, he might be still worth a shot, but he is getting to point where his age matters. If we bought him in the summer, (he turns 28 towards the end of June) we would have 4 full seasons at 28,29,30,31. After this summer, zero chance I would make a move, as no way he will be the same at 32yo as he has been at 25, 26, 27, and I would want 4 season out of him at full speed. Even 31 is pushing it a bit.

If Allegri goes to Real, Zidane will go to Juve I would guess I would at that point assume Conte would go to either Inter or Manure (if OGS isnt hired on perm) or maybe Italian National Team again (If Mancini gets whacked) Maybe Bayern if Kovac gets the sacking Wild card is Simeone At some point he either decides he wants the truly monster clubs, or he goes full lifer with AM Didier Deschamps will want to try for a back to back WC Mourinho is weakened badly who knows what Pochettino will do same for Joachim Löw that's every top manager who is not in a position of non-moving I can think of atm I would LOVE Conte at Inter

lol the only crown she is going to get is when he walks on a free or for £10m via a desperation sale next January

Would kill for a 1999 to 2002 Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink right about now. 95 goals in 3 years for club (88) and country (7) Right proper number 9

They can have Giroud plus £5m now just give us Ferland Mendy in the summer and they get another £10m done and dusted

If he wants top 5 in Europe we ain't it anymore. Unless they let us pick the buy 'n sells. Memphis won't be on the list.

He needs to be sold back to a good Bundesliga team. TSG 1899 Hoffenheim would be perfect. Billionaire owner who can afford it, and a waiting CB partner in Kevin Vogt or even better Eintracht Frankfurt I would do a dance of joy if we got Evan N'Dicka plus £15m for him. BEAST

He failed to score against Juve, Milan, Inter & Napoli. These things stick out for potential suitors Well, if we are comparing him to Higuain, Higs has scored one goal in the last 3 months, against SPAL, over a month ago now. 2 goals against top 9 (Sampdoria and Atalanta) teams Failed to score against Juve, Napoli, Roma, Inter, Juve again. Piatek has 6 goals against top 9 teams Also, Genoa is pure shit for supporting cast compared to Milan. They have one player rated over £6.3m, a 21yo CF Christian Kouamé at £12.6m The entire squad, minus Piatek is worth about what Juve paid for CR7. Average value is £3.05m That is pretty close to what the market would return on the players they have, as they have no vastly undervalued young stars now, other than Kouamé. Finally it is actually even worse, as that valuation includes LOANED players, and EIGHT of their top 11 in value are on loan. If you subtract out the loaned players value, Genoa is worth as a team £51.5m, or around £7m LESS than we just paid for Pulisic. Milan is valued at £414m, and market true price would be close to 2/3rds of a billion quid, so average value per player would be around £23m, or to compare, £20m more per player than a typical Genoa teammate. After they buy Bakayoko, NONE of their players will be loanees, and the 2 main players they themselves have out on loan, with a combined real valuation of £50m more (Andre Silva,option for Sevilla who will exercise and Manuel Locatelli, mandatory buy for Sassuolo) will be purchased as part of the loan deals.

It's shocking he is so weak mentally/confidence-wise. Most Danes are iron hard. To compare Nordic CB's, Lindelöf has turned the corner and is mostly playing lights out agin now, after 2 shakey years. And look at our Swedish captain in the WC, Andreas Granqvist. He was an absolute beast every game.

his dry spell was 4 games as starter, only 3 the full game, and one as sub, it lasted 20 days since then he has 8 goals in 9 games 21 in 23 games

still hoping for a

As a manager, Magath quickly gained respect and became notorious for his hard, grinding training methods, laying heavy emphasis on discipline, fitness and conditioning. Players gave him nicknames like "Saddam" (Saddam Hussein) or "Quälix", a rhyming mash of his first name Felix and the German verb "quälen" (to torture). He was once described by former Eintracht Frankfurt player Bachirou Salou as the "last dictator in Europe"

I saw them, ughhhhhhhhhhhh last thing we need is american football influence whats next, 95% of the team on roids and every other year an ex player going to prison for murder or drug dealing?

Bakayoko is like 'Shit, if we had one of these at Chels I might still be there!' LOLOLOL

Or he could become the next Lewandowski I think it was worth a £4.5m roll of the

Half the fucking nation are secretly rooting for those scouse cunts!!! Ffs it is going to be DREADFUL

I truly want to own a footie team some day, obviusly not an EPL one, unless I had a shit tonne of other investors IF Germany ever changed the 50% plus 1 rule here is the one!!

hell you sound like DoF material!!! RUTHLESS is my middle name

I know!!! always loved him in the aughties!! I am a deal maker in my professional career and have to think 10 steps ahead I get paid pretty decent to cut out deadwood and make reccos on both under-performing and new speculative high-growth potential assets I will advise to dump a dog in heartbeat and ALWAYS on the lookout for the hidden remote gems

the kind of deals where we spend £31.5m and OWN a great young striker outright or do an 18 month loan for a 30 something that costs £27m and have shit to show for it at loans end so a BEST case scenario (Piatek is only worth the same) we lose £27m because HAVE NO STRIKER worst case scenario Piatek truly blows up and is worth £100m or more in which case we lost £70m in valuation and still have no striker lets say we have to spend £80m in 18 months that is a total swing in valuation and outlays of £150m against us yep those type of deals Russian idiots!!!! no wonder Roman has lost over £12 to £15 billion in net worth over the last 8, 10 years or so

Thay was a STUPID challenge by Hendrick. WTF was he thinking!

Thread winner

OBVIOUSLY this will NEVER happens (and cannot as Piatek is now gone as well) I just wanted to answer fully what I would do IF the loan army was also liquidated (all but 11) that is the first side I have made with Mbappe on it, btw
