Vesper

The order was for much cheaper booze. I was just referring to a few expensive bottles we already had. We arent at a level where we can drop £10K or so just for party booze for the house, lolol

Took a real pro to spend £118m on CuCu 🙈🙉🙊

Onana is neither best nor the only fish in the sea

Inter tell Chelsea €60m or no deal for Andre Onana

hell no, lol I came on here as wifey went to get more booze from a friend (the cunts at Systembolaget fucked up oir Midsommar beer/wine order badly and I am not about to start popping open 400 to 1000 quid bottles of whiskey, wine, port, etc for everybody's drunk arses) maybe if I drink more I do the frog hop in a few hours

IF there is, it will be either Lauraro or Vlahovic the other options are not available or too expensive or not good enough, or simply of a Jackson experimental typology

then you must (and only, as I have explained in great detail) want either Vlahovic or Lautaro Toney is fucked atm due to suspension that's it in terms of viable and available CFs who meet the non experimental category (or are just not good enough in the opinion of most of TC) and who are not crazy overpriced (Osimhen, Højlund, Kolo Muani, and Gonçalo Ramos) all of who save for Ramos (€80-90m) are €100m to €180m

the only two additional CF options that fit the criteria all combined here on TC have laid out are Dušan Vlahović or Lautaro Martínez and some here do not even want either of them Toney fucked the pooch by getting suspended I have already posted in pretty great detail why those two are basically it no way we drop €180m on Osimhen no way we drop €100m on either Rasmus Højlund or Kolo Muani no way we drop €80-90m on Gonçalo Ramos the rest of the top CFs are not available: Erling Haaland Kylian Mbappé (and he is a winger, not a CF, he hates playing at CF) Gabriel Jesus Alexander Isak (I can hear the howls now if we dropped £90m on him, which it would probably yake for NUGC yo five gim up, plus he wants VL footie) Darwin Núñez (see Isak, for the most part, minus the CL) Julián Álvarez or will never come here (Kane) most here do not rate Jonathan David or Ollie Watkins or Amine Gouiri or Marcus Thuram (who is off to Inter, see below) that's it literally Nicolas Jackson is right there with the last 3 in terms of valuation, and other than Thuram (free transfer, but a couple hours ago it looks like Inter is signing him, which makes Lautaro easier to pull, IF we can fob Rom off on them) he costs a shit tonne less add in the NO WAY in hells Tammy, João Pedro, and fucking Richarlison and I just listed the top 25 CFs (including our Rom and Kai) on the planet in terms of values when I type the next words: Evan Ferguson, an EIGHTEEN yo from Brighton, is now on the first page for CF valuation at T-Markt let that sink in page 2 is dire overall (Youssoufa Moukoko seems to be the best there by far who is under 34/35yo (Lewa and Benz), BUT we have no way of knowing how old he is, that is a major cloud over him atm, and he said no to us before anyway, as did Benjamin Sesko, who is moving to RB Leipzig thus summer anyway) that's how thin it is at CF

expensive? €17.5 million (£15m) release clause

plus he is due to earn €150m for the 2023/24 season

all three!!! LOLOLOL 🤡

According to MARCA, this huge sum is split into €60 million ($65.3 million) in wages and €90 million ($98 million) agreed as part of a loyalty bonus when he signed the new deal in May last year.

we would be insane to sell Casadei, the U20 World Cup Golden Boot and Golden Ball winner for only 15m (we paid 15m euros for him)

do it!!!!!

yes whe should go all in for Barella also Tonali is not lifelong Milano he was not born there, and he has only been with AC Milan since 9 September 2020

Arda Guler 18yo AMF 9 goals, 12 assists in around 1800 top-flight club minutes (domestic and european) as a 17/18yo plus has a Mens Sr Turkish national team goal as well, against Wales 4 days ago with a super, WC strike https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=781811423478187 Real Madrid is now looking to buy him

well, ideally we would have Tchou and then either Barella or Caicedo

I (as is surely well known by now) prefer Barella over Caicedo anyway, I have wanted Barella since his Cagliari days I do rate Caicedo as well though

yes!

no, he will be a MFer, probably that new Stones role or he will spell Rodri of some sort of double pivot

Nicolò Barella

Here is a pretty compressive list of CMFs and DMFs out there that are doable (some much more than others) and still out there (as I type this) bold are my main options CMFs by valuation Frenkie de Jong (pipe dream) Nicolò Barella Alexis Mac Allister Mikel Merino Sergej Milinković-Savić Matheus Nunes Vitinha Rodrigo de Paul Nicolò Fagioli Marcos Llorente Gabri Veiga Manu Koné Ryan Gravenberch Orkun Kökcü Carlos Soler Seko Fofana Eljif Elmas Youssouf Fofana Maxence Caqueret Fabio Miretti Luka Sucic next summer Warren Zaïre-Emery DMFs by valuation Aurélien Tchouaméni Moisés Caicedo Manuel Ugarte Sandro Tonali Amadou Onana Martín Zubimendi Roméo Lavia Khéphren Thuram Teun Koopmeiners Sofyan Amrabat Manuel Locatelli Danilo Guido Rodríguez Samuele Ricci Florentino Arthur Vermeeren Alan Varela Lesley Ugochukwu

I had a some hopes he might be a decent player, but apparently he was not good enough to even get pitch time in the middle of a shithole of a disasterclass season he seemed to have some swagger about him, and is a really good athlete, but it looks like he is not able to translate that to the game, at least arm I think some of us got caught up with a mythology that he might spring out, a la Botticelli's Venus, from a clamshell like a baby Drogba as DDF was also from Côte d'Ivoire DDF should have scored here (and he does look a badass striker physically)
